• Prime day. Bought some things I'd been needing, jeans and socks.
• Github sent me an email about a potentially risky dependency, which is an awesome feature they have. lodash < 4.17.13 has holes.
• I do this already! https://medium.com/better-humans/replace-your-to-do-list-with-interstitial-journaling-to-increase-productivity-4e43109d15ef.
• Lumen is the internal tool netflix built for dashboarding.
• Insomnia (https://insomnia.rest/) is a tool that allows you to test APIs. Would be better as a webapp. Allows you to create requests and observe the response in an easy-to-consume-for-humans manner.
• Purchase offer.
• Morgan Stanley acquired Solium for 900m. Shareworks is their product now.
• The oversubscription algorithm is not by request now, it's by holdings. This is in my favor. It also means that your sale election is basically your max, not some hypothetically inflated number that you hope gets truncated properly.
• It's annoying that transmittal forms are required for former employees and those with paper certificates. Waste of infra, and incovenient.
• While I am currently using blogger for this effort, I could easily add a wordpress docker image to my droplet. This could run mysql/php to serve a dashboard allowing me to write blog posts by logging into my bmahlstedt.com domain.

• Medium, one of the most popular publishing platforms on the Earth, sent me an ad today: "Humungus is a new publication about pop culture and masculinity. It's for men, but not toxically masculine." Are you kidding? Must every sentence about men be followed by a second sentence defending it?
• Watched midsommar yesterday. Amazing. Also finished season 3 of stranger things.
• Former tesla important brought secrets to china: https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/10/20689468/tesla-autopilot-trade-secret-theft-guangzhi-cao-xpeng-xiaopeng-motors-lawsuit-filing.
• Main Python ML suite:
• Scikit-learn, the actual learning. Has SVM, regression (of all kinds), classification, gradients, naive bayes, neural networks, clustering, signal analysis, PCA. No deep learning or reenforcement learning.
• Numpy, for data structures. Arrays, matrices, etc. Low level.
• Pandas, for operations on data. Wraps numpy. Handling of missing data, timeseries, merging data, etc. High level.
• Matplotlib, for visualizing the data.
• Sidenote: Scipy is the ecosystem around these, the umbrella. Numpy, matplotlib, and pandas are part of scipy.
• Still annoying that tmux isn't starting with my proper bash shell (coloring, aliases like ll, etc).
• Gitpod is an awesome feature of github: https://www.gitpod.io/. It's an online interpreter, giving you an environment like bash/python/whatever for testing.
• MD/PW. Nothing to write down, but still lots of good reminders and triggers. I skim about 10 articles a day, and find it valuable.
• Sam Harris has the good point that open discourse is fundamental to everything. Our ability to reason is the bedrock of progress. Anything that goes against open discourse is by definition limiting (in the best case), and violently wrong (in the worst case, like radical islam). Dogmatic points of view are the bases of all religion. They're the bases of dictatorships like Hitler's Nazi Germany and Stalin's communism. Free speech and the pursuit of truth (science, evidence, and rationale) are paramount.
• Chopra and Houston dropped a funny ball on this one lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nupB70anRrQ.

• 1-1 friendships usually end up with imbalanced power. Triad friendships (3 people) have been proven to be more successful: https://medium.com/better-humans/how-to-use-triads-to-improve-your-personal-relationships-a83dd2f3578c.
• Did the fizzbuzz test. Could have done it in 10 seconds in python, but had to remind myself of some js syntax. The ternary operator (condition?outputiftrue:outputiffalse) can make it way shorter (pass to print for fizz and buzz with cond being modulus then or with the number), but I did it with a simple bitmap and switch statement for printing.
• Hex goes 0-9 then a-f. This counter demonstrates it well: https://www.mathsisfun.com/hexadecimals.html. Regular numbers are 10^0+10^1+10^2 etc, hex are just base 16, and binary is just base 2.
• Never forget: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZvJl8qNSAyZ_0q8Wdzq77hMMPy5ZJ2f1. Man vs Beast. The best show.
• Dogma = things people say as true without budging. Pontification, incontrovertible beliefs, etc.
• Sam Harris is a pretty sharp guy. He's like an atheist Jordan Peterson. Watched a lot of debates in the background today.

• Switched the home UI on my phone back to Nova Launcher (prime). I had paid for it a long time ago and forgot about it.
• Egalitarian = equal opportunity.
• There's a significant statistical difference (1std) in preference: men toward things, women toward people. Source: data from personality surveys, meaning that the difference is biological, not that it's cultural or societal (which it might be if the data were taken from career surveys, for example).
• Interesting study on the gender pay gap at Uber: https://www.forbes.com/sites/avivahwittenbergcox/2018/09/23/gender-paygap-uber-case-study/#227052a3b555.
• Feeling good to go back to work/grind/gym/focus. I get the most purpose in those routines (vs socialization/drinking/hanging/etc).
• Bought a muscle stim kit off amazon. $30, with amazing reviews. I'm hoping to relieve some of the stiffness in my neck, but also melt away a bit of the epicondilitis and sciatica.

• Past week was a blur of vacations, had bmanning and richard and derek and james in town, + the fourth of July. Went to see Bring It On at Hollywood Forever cemetary last night. Huge UFC fights as well, jones, melendez, rockhold, nunes, holm, askren, more.
• Soccer all day today, with 3 tournament finals coinciding.
• AAPL sell executed. Transferred to BOA.
• Caught up on all Medium/HN/PW.

• The largest private company in the world is Vitol (Europe), then Cargill (USA). Over a hundred billion/yr in revenue and over a hundred thousand employees each.
• Finished the change to enumerate the week dropdown: https://github.com/brianmahlstedt/supercontest/pull/51. Deployed. So easy, just `make deploy`. It looks pretty horrible on mobile, but that's certainly not my focus right now.
• Fixed the "register new user" behavior of flask-user. It wasn't the library at all (as expected). It was simply that the mail password was wrong.
• Reset it (in gmail), then copied it to both the flask-user conf and the postgres conf (flask has to use it to talk to the database).
• Had to reset the password in the actual database too, since it persists and the db was created with the old pw. It's now up to date with the one that starts with D (for the supercontest user in the supercontest db). This was a simple ALTER TABLE in psql.
• A warning indicator on the BMW turned on. It's for the front/side headlights. I checked all of them, and all bulbs are fine. Could just need a diagnostics reset? I don't have the machine, so I'm just gonna leave it for now.

• Postcard stamps (35 cents) are different than regular stamps (49 cents). You can put two on a regular letter to send it, you're just overpaying by 21 cents. You simply have to pay the minimum.
• Bmanning got here last night and is gonna stay till wednesday. Had some great talks about business, his LEO gps startup, law, space, pharmacy app, and much more.
• Most pre-seed money is won due to team, not due to product. If you can namedrop Spa SpaceX, Stanford, and truly believe in your idea, it's pretty easy to acquire funding.
• A lot of competition bbq uses weird stuff like sodium phosphate for tenderizing, msg (accent), and other umami flavors. I prefer the classics. Salt, pepper, garlic, onion, chiles, spices.
• UX design. Ideal animation time should be ~250ms. Ease in and out, just like realworld acceleration.
• Brined and rubbed the other beef rib racks for tomorrow.
• USA beat England in the women's world cup semi. Watched at Rock n Brews. Mexico beat Haiti in the gold cup semi. Watched at Aleworks.

• Looks like: KD/Kyrie to Nets, DLo to warriors, Iggy to Memphis, Klay/Curry/Dray/Boogie stay.
• Amazon fresh is so awesome. Placed another full order in the morning, arrived about 10hrs later.
• Watched some Gordon Ramsey for the first time lol he's hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM_KMYulI_s. The comments are gold too.
• BFR = blood flow restriction. It's a physical therapy technique that's gaining popularity.
• Blender busted. The buttons caved in and it would no longer turn on. Bought another $75 ninja.
• Received a notice for changes to my 2017 tax return.
• The penalty is ~20%. It also accrues compounding interest, starting with 5% in the year you filed incorrectly, and 6% the year after that.
• If you do not respond, you get a statutory notice of deficiency and interest/penalties increase.
• The changes are correct, and I paid them. There are first time abatement waivers for the penalties/interest, but you have a much likely higher chance of getting them if you have never gotten them before. If you receive a waiver, you are not eligible for the same one for the same rationale for 3 years, so I'm going to save it for next year just in case there were any mistakes in 2018's return. I moved a lot more money around that year.
• So many frustrating aspects of the current system:
• SpaceX not allowing us 83i, even though the liquidity offered during these irregular buybacks is capped at a max that will never pay the tax burden incurred by AMT on a regular exercise schedule.
• Not having a foolproof automated process.
• Not have a well designed tax code in the first place.
• Knowing so many colleagues who cheat their way out of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in real tax, while the IRS spends effort targeting stuff like mine (this 2017 case was $5K) and they're all scot-free. 
• Not having tax education in middle/high school.
• Having a complicated enough system that needs education in the first place.
• Rich people taking advantage of these loopholes, directly creating quagmires like the AMT trap for middleclass people like me.
• My good, AMT as an entire concept. The tech world and regular equity have obsoleted the original foundation of this.
• It's a wonderful practice in letting go of things I can't control :( Sure, it's complete chaos, and it affects all citizens' piggy banks intimately, but outside of my vote, I can't change it. Money will never drive my satisfaction and peace of mind.
• Set a stop limit order for gtc sell on all my aapl shares - slowly clearing out my ally account so I only have securities in robinhood and solium. I need the little boost of liquid cash right now to handle the IRS bs.

• Always organize elements of information in categories no larger than 9, but preferably ~5 chunks.
• These are great! https://uxdesign.cc/the-worst-volume-control-ui-in-the-world-60713dc86950. Terrible volume control designs.
• Beets have nitrates which are good for athletics. Lower heart rate, longer workouts, etc.
• Remember, diversity is a proven benefit. It applies to decisionmaking, nutrition, genetics, workplace creativity, health, relationships, and much more. But remember, diversity's variable is not race. It's not gender, it's not sex. It's not sexuality. It's not age, weight, or height. Diversity's variables are deeper than that. Diversity's variables are born from our choices as we navigate these lives, born from things we as individuals have control of. Diversity's variables are not born from characteristics that we are born with. If you want multiple flavors of soda for a party, buy multiple flavors of soda - don't pick sodas bottles with differently colored wrappers.
• Julio Jones' actual first name is Quintorris lol.
• Organized a lot of my personal stances. I had them written in various documents over the years but I combined them all into one. Each topic (politics, religion, etc) has a few bullets of rationale.
• USA beat Curacao to advance to semis in the gold cup.
• KD and Kyrie Irving are going to the nets lol.
• Changed the Robert/Arlen wedding RSVP.

• I had been confusing beef ribs. Notes are below. Bought and smoked them for the first time today! Each rib is almost $4 and 1lb, wow.
• "short ribs" without any other specifier refer to beef plate short ribs. They're the biggest beef ribs.
• Chuck short ribs are like plate short ribs (both are from the underbelly and have more meat, like pork spare ribs), but a little smaller.
• Beef back ribs are the third type. Like baby back ribs for pork. They're the smaller beef rib, but they're still bigger than pork ribs.
• Just like pork ribs, beef ribs are right next to other expensive cuts (ribeye), so you might see shiners (bones sticking out) from where the butcher tried to cut as close as possible.
• You cook beef ribs with the membrane ON, unlike pork ribs. This helps keep them together.
• You don't wrap beef ribs. Because of this, clean smoke is important. Cook a little hotter 275 and go a little lighter on the wood.
• Bark is everything for beef ribs. Don't spritz until the last couple hours.
• Total time about 8 hours.
• Paid rent.
• Refilled on charcoal (70lbs).
• Tried the new breakfast burrito from Mickey's. Was good! Bfast burritos are easy, but one thing I liked about theirs is that they crisped the potatoes, almost like tots, so that it added some crunch to the burrito.
• I had been keeping the intake on the blower mostly closed, but it's easier on the motor to open the inlet when in use.
• Matchlight charcoal has lighter fluid soaked in, don't use it.
• Moist snuff is just more finely cut.
• Engines.
• V vs Inline. Doesn't change performance a ton, if it's the same combustion volume, but it does give more torque on the lower end. In a V, they share the same crankshaft, so you can push on both sides.. V geometries are usually more compact, because inline cylinders can get long. However, V patterns cause more vibration, if not balanced or dampened.
• 2 vs 4. For the same displacement volume, the 2 will have a better low end and the 4 will have a better upper end (and wider overall powerband). 4 has higher top speed and higher redline, as well as harder maintenance. The 4 will also be smoother, with less vibration.
• Design.
• Don't use grey on colored background. Whiten it up.
• Offset shadows for text.
• Use background colors for separation, rather than borders/whitespace.
• Lerna and Bit are great tools for monorepos with javascript (projects with multiple npm packages).
• Came across an awesome concept during my mindfulness practice today. "Beginner's Mind". The goal is to become better at everything you do, of course, but that's not the carrot in front of you as you progress. Have the perspective of a beginner, of a child. Ask questions. Be amazed. Be curious. Be humble.
• Hung the donut poster.

• Full cycle at netflix. Individual(s) own the full design-dev-test-deploy-operate-support. https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/full-cycle-developers-at-netflix-a08c31f83249. I agree with this model.
• For democrats, Amazon is the most trusted institution. For republicans, it's the military. https://bakercenter.georgetown.edu/aicpoll/.
• Market cap is just share price * number of shares. It's the total value of a company.
• In 2019: MS #1, Apple #2, Amazon #3, Alphabet (Google) #4.
• Berkshire Hathaway is an american company. I always assumed it was British. They own GEICO, fruit of the loom, and a bunch of other big companies.
• Good reminder of web form hygiene. https://uxdesign.cc/design-better-forms-96fadca0f49c. Most important: show all options side by side instead of a dropdown, if there are 5 or fewer.
• I changed my mind. I enjoyed the new Aladdin.
• USA beat France to advance to the semis.

• Using nonstick spray on an already nonstick cooking surface (like teflon) reduces its efficiency. It covers the nonstick coat. It doesn't damage it, per say, but it creates a bunch of unnecessary buildup.
• Nonstick spray on cast iron is fine. Those pans should be seasoned anyway.
• Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) does the voice of Chucky in the most recent Child's Play.
• White holes are the opposite of black holes; nothing can enter, even light. They are just a mathematical construct. Nothing physical can create them.
• pysnooper is a library that gives you a decorator which helps with debugging, like printing the various in the local scope and such. I still like pdb and breakpoint().
• You can do some pretty cool customization with jupyter: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-effortlessly-optimize-jupyter-notebooks-e864162a06ee. Notebooks are a useful tool for sharing/collab. I don't use them for my own dev.
• An IPv4 address is 32 bits, and therefore there are 4.3 billion of them (2^32, also there are 4 octets and each is a number 0-255, or 2^8). There are hundreds of millions reserved (already in use) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses. Eventually, they'll be exhausted. They can be reclaimed for other purposes, resold on markets, etc, but they are finite. IPv4 is 128 bits, with muuuuuuuch more room.
• But, remember this takes you to a machine. It's an address. You could have multiple domains and multiple sites being served from the same IP address, like my nginx reverse proxy is doing.
• The conjuring series, the annabelle series, and the nun all take place in the same universe.
• Both the conjuring and child's play series are ok. Nothing amazing, but still enjoyable.
• TS and TC are telesync and telecine, bootleg movie formats that are between CAM and DVD.
• Read Aaron Franklin's BBQ book!
• I like meathead's a bit more overall, because it goes into the scientific rationale for all bbq decisions and variables.
• Learned mostly about building your own smoker. Using pure wood fire in an offset, adding baffles to mix the airflow and create more homogeneous temperature, and smokestack height for how hard it pulls.
• The process is very manual at Franklin. All offsets, oak wood, thermometers, and natural airflow (controlled by doors). Nothing closed-loop. This process could be made simple, more repeatable/dependable, and easier to manage (much less work!) with some simple automation. Just because you're programming something doesn't mean it's doing it differently, it's just more efficient.
• Start the fire with a piece of juice-soaked butcher paper from yesterday's brisket wrapping :)
• Wagyu means "Japanese Cow" in Japanese.
• Try to buy never-frozen. If you see more blood in the package, it was likely frozen.
• Homemade BBQ sauce with espresso beans - a delicious idea I first saw at Franklin's.
• Bought a large serrated slicer for brisket, and a boning knife for easier trimming.
• Watch the new live-action Aladdin. Meh. Loved the idea, did not love the adaptation.
• The steam room at 24 closes a couple hours nightly for cleaning, usually around 1-2am.

• Finished the donut puzzle.
• Neck is feeling a little better, as if it were a muscle strain and were fading. I'm never cracking my neck or back or fingers again! The stiffness is kinda annoying while I go cold turkey, but I'm sure it will fade.
• PassportJS is a good lib for user auth.
• M&A = mergers and acquisitions.
• Glass breaks at like mach 4.
• Max heart rate is about 220 minus your age.

• Pumpkin spice = cinnamon nutmeg ginger clove.
• Fb's crypto is Libra. The programming language behind it is called Move. It is written in Rust.
• Popular JS libs: https://blog.bitsrc.io/11-javascript-utility-libraries-you-should-know-in-2018-3646fb31ade. Lodash (underscore) tops the list, obv. Utility functions.  Rambda is #2, a functional library.
• shift-escape in chrome opens up the browser's own task manager. How am I just now finding this. You can view processes, memory, cpu, and terminate them. It even shows resource usage by tab and by extension, which is an extremely useful thing for determining how your browser is slowing your computer.
• All round-of-16 games in the women's world cup are now over. Our path to the championship will likely be france-england-germany, which is no easy sequence.
• Smoked chicken and made tacos again. This time, made the corn tortillas by hand for the first time! They're way better.
• Cloudfare is the company that offers the standard ddos protection you see (an annoying 1s delay).
• I'm never cracking my neck again! Twisted a little too far and might have tweaked the muscle a little bit. Wasn't really painful, but it's just a scary area to mess with. Beyond muscle issues, you can tear the arteries and cause a blot clot that goes up into your brain, causing a stroke. Nottttt worth it.
• A little React work. Remember, it's just the "V" in MVC, it's not a full framework.

• The tipping system in the US is broken. Patrons paying employees instead of the employers. Incentivization is good, but it should be inherent to the accountability of the position, like, you know, every other job on the planet.
• Idea: a restaurant that doesn't allow tips.
• Decided to subscribe to Medium. I get about 5 articles in my digest that look interesting but I can't read. Since this is something I do daily, and enjoy, I'm going to try the premium content. It's $50/yr.
• USA Spain. Won 2-1. On to quarterfinal against France (which is basically the final).
• Over large numbers, only about 3% of corner kicks result in goals.
• A set piece is one that returns the ball to free play, like a corner or a free kick.
• Medium.
• In JS (just like python), you can access properties with dot notation (obj.prop) or bracket notation (obj['prop']). The latter should be used when the property name might have invalid syntax (leading digit instead of letter, etc).
• Angular is a much larger framework that uses the regular dom and integrates components in. It has two way binding. React is a smaller library that uses a virtual dom. It only has one way binding.
• Read the top articles on misophonia. None helpful. They all explain and characterize the condition. None provide solutions, because there are none. You just have to cope. Exposure makes it worse. There's no medication. You just have to avoid the triggers with earplugs, leaving the room, etc.
• Updated my search engines in google chrome (i, a, t, w, y).
• My "a" key is still a little bit sticky since I busted the retaining clips.
• Priapism: an erection that won't go away.
• Idea: a machine learning app that follows all of your activity (google searches, songs listened to, words said, apps opened, etc) and allows you to observe various outputs (energy, happiness, stress, whatever), then performs analysis to map the inputs to outputs and suggest patterns.
• The flavor in root beer comes from sarsaparilla bark and sassafras bark.
• Made the rub for the chicken tomorrow. Used a TON of anchos and guajillos, and included the seed pods this time. I'm excited for some strong flavor. Also used more garlic and onion powder, since Allie is in Sweden for 2 weeks.
• Just like ancho is the name for the dried poblano, guajillo is the name for the dried mirasol.
• Matt Stonie has done challenges of 20,000cal in 1hr. Holyyyyyyy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOop2bLiSFw.
• Booked all my one-way hawaii flights. LAX-HNL-LIH-LAX. United, Hawaiian, and American. Basically had to reset passwords on all argghghhh. Total cost ~$550. Next step is getting a kauai hotel room with wes/jcriss, then I should be good on accommodations.

• The concacaf (north/central american and caribbean) men's soccer tournament (gold cup) is going on right now as well. USA beat Trinidad and Tobago today.
• Light speed is almost 700 million miles per hour. The Earth is almost 100 million miles from the Sun.
• Ground cacao nibs are so much better in my morning shakes than whole.
• Checked the ninja out. Battery is dead. Put it up on the rear lift so the tires would survive longer.
• A mcguffin is a plot device (in a movie or show) that exists solely to move the plot forward but doesn't get any explanation.
• Some new couples are combining last names in marriage!

• Went to ear appointment with Allie. Was very interesting.
• Did surgery on a couple keys on my laptop. The S key was sticking, so I removed and cleaned underneath it. I also checked the A key next to it, to make sure I had put S back correctly, but it didn't come off as well. The retaining clip system is ridiculous, there are like 3 layers with 4 corner attach points each. It's back in place and working ok, but definitely not perfect. You have to press the A extra hard to register (which is annoying since it's a pinky key).

• Facebook unveiled Libra, their cryptocurrency.
• Slack (the chat app) IPOed yesterday, opening at 38.50, closing at 38.62, and peaking at 42.
• Remember, webpack helps bundle all your js deps (like those specified in <script> tags to other files/urls, or require and import inside a js script) into one. It even builds a nice depgraph for you.

• Pineapple has the enzyme bromelain which breaks down protein chains. If you marinate meat with any pineapple in it for too long (hours), it will tenderize it into mush.
• Updated al pastor:
• Trim pork butt into slices. Brine as usual.
• Mix marinade separately and apply right before smoking. Don't want pineapple bromelain.
• Put slices on grill like chicken thighs, not skewered. More surface area for bark/smoke.
• Get the internal to 170-200 and you're fine. Chop up. Don't need to reverse sear.
• NBA contracts are insane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_salary_cap. It's just as ridiculous as tax law, where there was a decent set of 10 original rules and then 3,000 people came in and exploited loopholes which resulted in new provisions. The worst way to scale.
• Some questions for the interviewer. https://medium.com/free-code-camp/how-to-interview-your-interviewers-when-youre-looking-for-a-job-d848bc3a910.
• Describe your CI/CD/CodeReview process.
• How free are individual contributors to pursue new ideas? Even across departments?
• I turn 1 billion seconds old in two months! The night of Wednesday, August 22, at midnight.
• Domains are case insensitive, but you can totally make an endpoint case-sensitive. It just gets sent to the server. You shouldn't. Users should always consider it to be case sensitive, to be safe, but it shouldn't be.
• Watched the smarter every day videos on tattoos and removal.
• The guns are rotary (just a motor and a needle(s), like a crankshaft and piston) or coil (magnetically pulling a needle, then letting go while a sprint pulls it back).
• Laser removal just sends a very tuned flash at the tattoo. This heats up one side of the microscopic ink particles quickly enough that the other side can't deform, so it cracks. Once broken up, white blood cells can engulf the smaller ink particles and bring them to the liver for waste processing (this is the same reason tattoos fade over a long time, the white blood cells are eating away at them).
• Smoked the tacos al pastor.
• At first I thought the temp probe was bad because it just kept flashing "lid off" but it settled after a while. The forums say that sometimes you can get bad readings at low temps. Also, power cycling the unit seems to help.
• I'll have to screw the fan back on later as well.
• Dicing the onion the right way is awesome.
• USWNT beat Sweden to get 1st in their group. We play Spain in the round of 16, and then likely France in the round of 8. It could very likely be a USA-Germany final.
• NBA draft.
• The heaviest person of all time was 1400lbs.
• If you just change the "r" in the reddit url to "c" then you can see posts that dumb mods have removed.

• Hung out with Eric and the whole family all day. Woke up at 6, gymmed, then beached and piered.
• Created the splitwise group to settle all the Austin finances.
• (Certain) Corporate action(s) can be taken without a shareholder meeting, even if the company is private, like SpaceX. It must win by majority shareholder vote nonetheless. They must notify the shareholders, by law.
• These are usually equity dilutions, like increasing the total number of shares by ~0.01%.
• This directly decreases the percentage of the company you own, and therefore your voting right, but that was never substantial anyway. It does affect value though, because external valuations are usually done on the total worth of the company, and then simply divided by the number of shares. It's a sneaky, indirect way to dilute your equity, since these events (dilution and valuation) are usually months apart.
• Did Hawaii planning.
• The friends leg is just pettys/gmereks/remilins (6) so far.
• Harner/Eddie/Jonny already have flights home and other plans.
• Allie is out for the friends leg, and is waffling the wedding leg.
• Wes/Jcriss/I are the other 3 who are considering the friends leg, which would make 9. If so, Wes and I would be the only ones with the same flights for the whole trip.
• I would like to go both legs. I will definitely need the LAX-HNL flight for the wedding. If Wes and Jcriss go on the other leg, I'll definitely go, and would need HNL-LIH + LIH-LAX. I would like to encourage Allie to come to both.
• I can make al pastor for the bay whenever they come down.
• Trim a pork butt into strips (easier to buy boneless for this, obv).
• Make my usual dry rub (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, onion), but then add Achiote paste and Guajillo chili powder and mix it all with pineapple juice to make a marinade (or just buy a premade pastor marinade). Let it sit overnight, then smoke as usual.
• Spritz with pineapple juice instead of water.
• Using openssl you can create a root certificate (used to generate other certificates) and then specify localhost as the domain to trust. Fairly simply article here: https://medium.com/free-code-camp/how-to-get-https-working-on-your-local-development-environment-in-5-minutes-7af615770eec.
• Guajillo chiles are the second most popular chile in Mexico. Poblanos are #1. Ancho is the name for dried Poblano.
• The carolina reaper is the hottest pepper in the world. Before that it was scorpion, then naga, then ghost. There are claims for 2x the carolina (Pepper X) but they have not been confirmed yet.
• New peppers are created by literally breeding other insanely hot peppers.

• Remember superchargers and turbochargers are a little different. Both compress the air going into the engine to add about 50% more power, but the turbo takes it from the exhaust gases (turbine->compressor) and the super takes it from the crankshaft (belt->compressor). The turbine has a slight amount of lag and then will lurch forward (because the air must move through the whole engine before you get the boost). The super delivers extra power all the way through. The Kawasaki Ninja H2 is the first bike with a super, I believe. There are custom Hayabusas with turbos.
• Oh, forgot to write my Franklin's BBQ review.

1. Brisket. The best I've ever had.
2. Ribs. Good, but too much pepper.
3. Pulled Pork. The usual.
4. Turkey. Tasty, but too much butter, and they only had breast.
5. Sausage. Surprisingly bad.
• Overall, the brisket was incredible. Everything else was about par with what I cook at home.
• The wait in line / drinking / relaxing was fun. We went on a Thursday and waited from about 830-1230. Worth it to do once - is probably not worth a repeat when there are so many other comparable BBQ places around.
