I once helped clean up after a festival in the UK—a relatively small venue that hosted around 10,000 people. It was incredible to see £450 tents, used for just three nights, simply abandoned. Among the most surprising finds were £300 Rab sleeping bags still in their original packaging (apparently the weather had been too warm to need them) and cash scattered across tent floors. Walking through the aftermath felt like browsing an outdoor gear store virtually anything you could want was there, barely used after just three days.

I'm working on yet another AI-powered app (shocking, I know). It's a basic command-line interface (CLI) flashcard tool that uses GPT-4 to grade answers and help you learn based on how far your response is from the correct answer. You can check it out here: [AnkiCLI](https://github.com/johnny1011/AnkiCLI). It's pretty barebones—just Python and the OpenAI API. Nothing groundbreaking. If anyone has thoughts on how to make this marginally less useless, I'm all ears.

A few weeks ago, I watched a YouTube video [1] that helped me reduce my phone usage from 2-3 hours a day to less than 30 minutes. It made a significant difference in my life. Sharing the link here in case anyone needs a helpful guide.

This is fascinating, but I can’t believe he didn’t really address the elephant in the room (for me anyway). The instant the payload is launched, the launching mechanism will still be rotating at several hundred RPM but will no longer be balanced. I don’t see how it wouldn’t proceed to immediately and spectacularly tear itself apart. So they must have figured out how to rebalance it almost immediately. THAT is what I’d really like to hear about; that seems like the hardest aspect of the whole process.

I was guessing, its water in a container with bomb bay like doors, when the payload is released the doors open and the water goes into some complex structure that takes the energy out of the water. but only a guess.
