I have the MZOO sleep mask as well and it’s the best I’ve found after trying a bunch of different brands. I bought a second as a backup and would rebuy in the future if needed.

I got the same modal, but I opened up DevTools, deleted the modal and was able to then click into my account settings and delete my account.

This is a really good analogy (gas station customers) that I haven’t heard before. I’ve often tried to describe this ‘low intent’ group but never had a good way to make it relatable.

The linked article only looks at the time period of the last 50 years. If you believe in big cycles (like covered in Ray Dalio’s “The Changing World Order”), expand that perspective to several hundred years and market returns don’t look quite as guaranteed over a given 20 year period. I’m still formulating my own thesis but it’s a good read if you are into such things.

I forward emails for custom domains from my registrars (Namecheap and GoDaddy) to Gmail. Then you can use a free Zoho account that lets you send email from your custom domain from within you Gmail account (sent via Zoho's email servers). It's a bit of work to set up but then you can do everything from within Gmail seamlessly.

I think this is the tutorial I followed years ago: https://medium.com/@raymondgh/how-to-set-up-a-free-custom-do...

I built a tool for exporting your Spotify playlists and library to CSV spreadsheets: http://www.streamexport.com/

It doesn't 'move' your playlists to other services but it gives you a record of all of your playlists that you can control and store locally.

I don't know Garry super well but in our few conversations I found him to be one of the smartest and most generous founders I've come across.

Enjoy the time away, Garry!

It's interesting to see how little emphasis is placed on "Evernote, the product" on the homepage. More "Evernote, the ecosystem".

Agreed. The scrolling function was part of the Wordpress theme. I find it kind of annoying as well.
