- Make you worry about something you weren’t worried about yesterday.
- Sell you a product to try and counteract that worry they created for you.

- Give lip service to privacy concerns.
- Create a large volume of data to sell you more things.
I enjoy Dense Discovery and the variety of topics that Kai brings to the newsletter. It was an easy decision to sign up for the new Friend of DD program announced in issue 107.
Finished a much needed organizing and upgrading of my home office setup. This is working much better on every dimension.
Amazon’s marketing strategy with Ring seems to be:
Delicious plate of tomatoes grown by our old neighbor. 🍅
Enjoying this home brew Belgian Witbier with Coriander and Orange Peel that my friend Garrick gave to me. Refreshing. Tastes like summer. 🍺
Hit a new 60-min PR in Matt Wilpers Power Zone Endurance Ride this morning! 653 kJ, a 10% jump over previous 591 kJ. It was a Zone 2 / 3 ride but I felt my zones were a little low so I rode more Zone 3 / 4. Should do a new FTP test. 🙌🚴🏼♂️🏆
Mazie cross country meet today In Chanhassen. Running 5k. 👏
Sous Vides Brisket
Trying Sous Vides brisket for the first time. Trimmed down the flat. Simple salt and pepper. Texas style. Cut in half to vacuum seal for the bath. In the 155 °F water bath for 36 hours. Will finish on Big Green Egg for 3-4 hours for smoke and bark on Saturday.
24 hours into the Sous Vides and all proceeding well!
37 hours of Sous Vides complete. Pulled the brisket out and leaving it in bags to cool in the fridge. Will smoke for 3-4 hours to finish this afternoon. 🤤
After a few hours cooking in the refrigerator I pulled the brisket out of the bags. I put the juice aside to use for something else. Second application of salt and pepper rub, and onto the Big Green Egg to smoke for three or so hours.
Tyler defeated Monk Maz Koshia and got the Master Cycle Zero in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is amazing to me how far the story goes in this game.
