🔗 What I learned from taking a train across the US
Here’s how US train travel went from excellent to mediocre.

🔗 I traded in my MacBook and now I’m a desktop convert
But once the puzzle of ports and peripherals was mostly sorted out, I appreciated how intentional desktop life is. Laptops are great, but their portability made it hard for me to separate work from home.

Two-thirds of the roughly 150 currencies have weakened against the dollar, whose strength stems from high interest rates because of stubborn inflation.
With the yen recently reaching ¥160/dollar, rates not seen since 1990, it feels like a dream when a dollar was ¥110. I hope (and have been hoping for 18 months now, so not getting my hopes up) the rates become a bit more manageable. Tiny jars of peanut butter shouldn't cost ~¥600. -
