One of the best investments I made this year was paying $250 to a local coffee shop to be a member of their coffee club. They gave me a cup, and they give me free cold brews. It’s worth it.
As chains go, Panera does something similar, but it’s a monthly fee, and they have increased the price significantly since they started it.

My local museum offers cafe discounts and freebies, for annual supporters, and they get a lot of my patronage for it! And me as their ambassador for recommendations :-)
If I’m going to run a rumor mill, I insist that it be focused around the most random things, like an assumption that Verizon was named for Vertical Horizon.
@ernie If you decide to have a go at it, I'd love to see what you come up with! I'm a dabbler, not even a hobbyist, but I love to read what other people are doing.
Now I should be clear, bots in meetings do have a place. As a journalist, having a Krisp or Otter bot in my Zoom meeting makes sense because they can record the audio that I can easily transcribe without thinking about it.
@ernie agree with most other responses but here's a take from a manager:
p much this entire interview is the ceo telling us how terrible information flow and decision making is at his company. thing is, most companies run like this. I don't want ai pretending to be me or summarizing others to me. I do need help with extremely complex scheduling, getting the right people together, using the right kind of communication, building agendas, documenting decisions, and crucially, not overloading folks
Just because my anti-AI tool got featured on Product Hunt (something I did not do myself by the way) does not mean I want to use your AI search platform.
That’s the third rail of getting featured on Product Hunt—people will see you as a growth-hack target.
Considering going to a bin store tomorrow just to see what it’s like, then writing about the experience. Turns out that the bin store near me is having its one-year anniversary party tomorrow.
