I had similar feelings for PHM, but it was hard to put a finger on why. I enjoyed it well enough to make it to the end, but I think I have a limited appetite for his "authorial voice". I read it directly after The Bone Clocks and remember thinking I missed David Mitchell's "voice" and wishing there were a way to experience books through another author's voice. Outside the copyright concerns, this could be an interesting use case for AI, a cover band for literature. It's definitely the only way we'll ever get Wes Anderson Star Wars

Thank you for adding such a simple, positive, growth-mindset message to the internet. This instantly brightened my day and compelled me to write what might be my first ever comment on this site. idk if I can understand quantum computers, but I can climb mountains and make excellent sourdough pizza and that's not something I could say a year ago. Mostly, I'm just happier than I was 5 minutes ago and you did that!
The one part of this that I feel like I understand is that if you buy this vehicle you've effectively signed up for twice the maintenance expense. While I feel this was a brilliant step in the direction of stop gap between gas and electric vehicles; I could never bring myself to pull the trigger.
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing! This gives me so many ideas I'd like to fork and try out. Does this support recurring tasks?
