I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government out of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

I have arrived in India for a 19-day trip in which everybody I see will ask me to explain WTF is going on in the US because they look to me for authoritative information. All I can say is I've got no useful information to impart. I will share this insight in Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai.

February is when the really crazy good Andhra Pradesh red chilis are ready. The fresh ones have limited shelf life, but they pickle up like omg you wouldn't believe, and the pickles have a long shelf life. I just placed an order for 25kg of pickles. These are blow your head off hot, but very tasty.
