You think selling to small businesses and consumers is difficult? Try getting VCs to pay for things.

Getting Intros (baremetrics.com/intros-investo…) off the ground has been...educational.
Me: "Here's a curated list of startups looking for investment w/ all current & historical revenue data, growth rates, customers, industries & more. This will save you weeks of due diligence every month & save you hundreds of false starts."

VC: "Wait, I have to pay for this?"
We certainly have some adjusting to do on the product to balance the needs of both companies and VCs. But I've been really surprised at how many have straight up said "Yeah, we don't pay for things."

1/ Why wife runs a community kitchen program at a local school here and texted this to me yesterday.
2/ Puker 1: Dared to chug 3 bottles of water followed by bottle of gatorade. Quickly this does not sit well & he almost instantly projectile vomits directly across the table on the kid across from him.

Puker 2: I mean, he just got vomited on. Of course HE then starts vomiting.
3/ Puker 3: A girl two tables down witnesses the carnage and begins projectile vomiting as well...poor weak stomach.

What'd they have for lunch? Chicken Pot Pie.

One of my daughters, who witnessed it: "The puke looked like vegetable soup." 😂

Some construction workers in our neighborhood have been following my teenage daughters around in their creepy cargo van and verbally harassing them (saying some scary and sexually explicit things).
We've called the police and reported it, however there's not a ton they can do for "harassment" reports other than pulling them over and telling them to stop. And even then it has to basically be right after the incident.

HOWEVER...
Me being an Internet Professional™...I tracked this piece of shit down and now know his name, phone number and his business name plus I have photos of him (thanks Facebook!).

The question: do I plaster that stuff all over the internet? Or just wait and hope it dies down?

Physical or digital books?

Why?
To answer my own question, I prefer digital.

When I got a Kindle Paperwhite ~5 years ago, I drastically increased the amount that I read.

Much more portable, easier to read at night in bed, and I've always got the next book right there for when I finish one.
The ability to search my highlights, enlarge the type 👴🏻 and easily "carry" multiple books that I'm reading all in one place...I just can't beat it.

It is the last Trump rally*!!! (*Before the next rally.) Tweets in this thread.
Hannity is, uh, "interviewing" Trump backstage. (He is reciting Trump's talking points to Trump.)
Trump: "We have a barbed wire wall...highest level...a lot of digging going on, a lot of trenching."

Trump's Billings, Montana campaign rally is scheduled for 9 PM Eastern. I'll tweet tweets in this thread.
Trump does an especially slow walk to the microphone, soaking in the adulation.
Trump recites a list of claimed accomplishments: a strong economy, low unemployment, "crushing" terrorists, "America is being respected again."

Good morning sports fans it's day two of the #cpc18. I'm not there yet, but my coverage is starting early thanks to internet feelers I put out yesterday. I'm hearing that axing supply management has been scheduled as the last policy vote in it's session.
And that because it's the last vote in the session party members are going to try and run the clock on the policy session so it never comes to a vote, and therefore is shot down without being explicitly voted against.
I'll try and chase that down once I'm actually there.

Trump to the National Federation of Independent Businesses on his rising approval numbers: "We had our highest poll numbers today. Can you believe this?...Our highest."

He explains that he only talks about polls when they're good but not when they're bad.
"We're respected again. This country is RESPECTED AGAIN," Trump says to loud cheers.
"Try staying in Mexico for a couple days. See how long THAT lasts," Trump says, I guess to would-be illegal immigrants.

You know, I’ve touched on this before, but it just struck me how obvious this is, so I’ll say it again:

FB makes their money from advertisers NOT having access to our metadata.

They make money by charging them to look through a keyhole.
Let me explain. I’m going to use chocolate again, since that seemed to be a favorite with GOP lawmakers who questioned Zuckerberg.
Say I have a dark chocolate with candied ginger that I’m trying to sell. First, I’d need to figure out who my ideal customer is. Let’s say I decide that it’s a woman around the age of 55, who travels in Europe, likes to cook...

(1) Here we go again. Despite being a new bridge, this Miami walkway collapsed, tragically causing multiple fatalities.

I speak from industry experience when I say: Someone failed to do their job properly.

(2) I will provide links and updates in this thread over the coming days. The regulation and enforcement of safety standards relies, ultimately, on political will.

Thoughts and prayers with those affected.
(3) Live updates here: fox13news.com/news/florida-n…
