Bag of Randomness

The Oscars are this Sunday. I may be the only person in America that thinks One Battle After Another wasn’t all that great.


The Federal Aviation Administration selected the Texas Department of Transportation this week for one of eight pilot projects nationally for regional flights linking Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio using electric aircraft that can take off or land vertically.

That made me think of the Volocopter eVTOL aircraft in the HBO series Westworld. Of course, in the series, that year is 2058, so there’s no telling what the real ones in the next 32 years. Here’s an article if you’d like to know more: How HBO’s Westworld designed its eVTOL aircraft (and no, they’re not flying cars)

In the summer of 2022, Anderson Cooper did a 60 Minutes story about the future of eVTOLs. One of the companies was Joby Aviation. At the time, I saw that its stock price was a little over five bucks a share, so I decided to invest. Today, it’s trading around $9.75. But if I had been keeping an eye on it, I should have sold it when it was over $18 a share last summer.


Most job recruiters who reach out to me offer something with either no or very limited benefits; healthcare and paid-time-off aren’t even an option.

An interesting article from Runners World. I ain’t going to run 5.5 miles just for some butter, I’ll just go to the store.

Runners Are Discovering They Can Churn Butter on Their Runs—and It’s Surprisingly Easy

When was the last time you made butter and ran simultaneously? This is the question Libby Cope, 30, an Oregon-based outdoor and running content creator, asks in a video that has racked up more than 2 million views on TikTok and nearly 10 million on Instagram.

She and her boyfriend, Jacob Arnold, 30, a sterile processing tech at a hospital and an avid runner and biker, do just that: they pour heavy cream and salt into double-bagged Ziplocs and secure the squishy bags of dairy inside their matching running vests before setting off on a trail run. At the end, they spread their creation on sandwich bread and dig in.
