Thanks for joining, it was a fun convo! I wanted to slip into clubhouse casual convo mode, but tried to keep it more in line with our normal episodes
I think it was a great balance!

What’s your favorite sub $100 bottle of sparkling wine?
I’ve been through a few companies that did layoffs. My first, I was a part of it. I had heard about it and there were even websites posting about when it would happen. I got an invite around 9:30am that there was an 11am mandatory meeting and I packed all my stuff so it would be easy. While waiting in line there was a guy in front of me confused, and I quietly told him there were rumors of layoffs, but he still didn’t seem to understand. It was a crazy experience being in a room with ~200 people getting fired. I hope I never go through it again. One guy stood up and said “go fuck yourselves”. Others were crying. I left with my things I’d luckily bore-packed, and saw another set of people crying on the T (Boston’s version of the subway).
My current company, I’ve been through 4 rounds of layoffs. It’s been weird seeing it on the other side. Round after round where the best people are let go. We keep going, but we really have lost some of our best. It’s clearly decided by consultants with their spans and layers contractions. Ugh
So if I’m doing a 1 hour to 1 night salt only, I should say I’m curing my steak?
Texas fight! Haven’t beaten Alabama since the 1982 Cotton Bowl
It’s my birthday, which is a good time to reflect. In the last year I actually had more significant moments in my life than I’ve had in at least the three years before. I got married, got a promotion, went to 8 BitDevs, managed 2 new employees, went to 3 weddings other than my own, started volunteering somewhere new, started using NOSTR, recorded some podcasts, read some books, started going to an office 2 days a week (for the first time since 2020), made an offer on a house (still live in an apartment, it wasn’t accepted, 15% above asking cash offer got it), and I’m sure a bunch of other things. The only things I care about committing to for the next year are my family, my friends, my health, and learning something new every day.
I am so lucky to have y’all from early nostr
I’m here because I believe in free speech, and this is the platform that may actually deliver it
If I’m wrong, let me know why
All country is beautiful, but I’ve seen a lot of Texas…love it for many reasons, wouldn’t put beauty towards the top

I’ve been too much of a lurker on nostr lately, committing to start posting daily again (including replies)
It’s too much video
