It is a universal truth that upon joining a new Slack, one must first join all channels related to to cat photos. Only then can the work begin.

Currently wondering whether there’s a correlation between how long movies have gotten and the drop in box office revenues 🤔
The Canada Goose store in downtown Montreal has a cold room set to –20°C, with fans that can be turned on to simulate wind chill. This lets customers see how a coat will perform in winter climes.
This is attention to detail. This is customer obsession.
I love that the 80,000 Hours website includes an “Our Mistakes” page — a breakdown of mistakes they made and what they learned from it.
I should add one to 2cc.club, first entry being “didn’t check that payments worked properly.”
The goal with twocommoncents.club, then, is to help you mitigate the risks of building a meaningful microbusiness —and maximize its chances of success!— through entrepreneurial cooperation and knowledge sharing.
I feel weird sharing goals like “build a successful business” because it feels… I dunno, shallow?
Thing is, I’m really talking about building financial independence. Entrepreneurship’s scary, but rewarding, because you build a thing you believe in, and it brings value both to you and your customers.
I founded Dropped Bits 12 years ago today. In that time, it’s become a profitable little side hustle, but it’s not what I’d consider a successful business.
In 2024, I aim to change that, and I’m launching a new site to explain how (and keep me accountable).
Trying out Obsidian. I signed up for a years of sync (there’s a special right now if you sign up before 2024) and I’m slowly migrating notes from various other apps/services.
Key is that it does native Readwise highlight sync (well, with a plugin). Seems like a nicely built app, too.

(I don’t think it’s working)
If you’re a solopreneur or run a little side business, do you do any kind of financial planning/forecasting as the fiscal year comes to an end? As you start planning for a new product/service launch?
Why or why not?
If you’re like me and can’t ever figure out what’s selected in the tv UI at a glance, enable this in the Settings app:
Accessibility > Display > Focus Style > High Contrast
It’ll put a white border around the focused element on the screen.
Expecting a whole lot of snow in Montreal the next couple of days. I’m watching it come down as I sit in a coffee shop, enjoying an Americano as I debug some SwiftUI navigation code.
I do feel for everyone that will be dealing with the Monday morning commute, though. 😬
I’m looking for a way to run occasional online surveys—ideally the product is from a small indie team, and relatively inexpensive. I don’t need capabilities for thousands of surveys and/or respondents, just good UX, privacy, and accessibility.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
My favourite Watch face continues to be Explorer. It’s subtle, doesn’t offend too much uh in low-light situations, and lets me keep an eye on key complications (WaterMinder and Pedometer++).
Good morning to those who celebrate
Turns out, Aeropress makes a better coffee if you remember to use a filter. ☕️😴

If you’re running a Discourse site: are you self-hosting (e.g. on a VPS), using a Discourse-dedicated hosting service (e.g. Communiteq), or using Discourse’s own service?
Pretty happy with how I’ve customized my Action Button shortcut.
How do people have plants and cats in the same home? We have a 40” money tree in a planter that we want to bring indoors for the winterer, but for the life of me er of me I don’t know how to protect it from the cat.
Ideas?
You can customize what’s shown in Standby on iOS 17, which is cool, but is there no way to get those settings to stick?
It’s new iPhone delivery day!
Are you a set-up-as-new phone type, or a transfer-data-from-old-phone type?
Where did we go wrong as a species?
So fluffy
