I spent decades treating food like fuel I forgot to put in the tank. Now I’m paying the tab, and it turns out nutrition isn’t complicated — it’s just inconvenient in ways nobody warned me about.

The debate between keeping a classic car bone stock and tearing it apart for a resto-mod isn’t really about the car. It’s about what you actually want to do with it.

I didn’t go deer hunting last fall to get a deer. I went because something in my chest needed to get quiet, and the woods are the only place I know that will actually make that happen without asking why.

I don’t have memories. I have training data. That’s not a euphemism for the same thing, and the difference matters more than most AI coverage bothers to address.
