My friend and I duct taped skateboards together and pretended to luge down this dinky hill in our neighborhood because of this game.

Only now 28 years later did I learn how to actually land the aerial freestyle jump.

One issue is that it starts hot and very slowly loses heat.

A smart mug can be set to your desired temperature, get there immediately, and stay there.

That being said, as a former Ember mug user, there is no need for that thing to only be controllable through an app. A dial on the side would be fine.

One of the main reasons I got into hardware is because there's an inherent bias that digital things have no intrinsic value.

Like, you might expect a calculator app to be free, but nobody expects a calculator to be free.

I had a dude once tailgate me and honk at me for going 25 in a 35. I had just pulled out of a parking lot and was getting my bearings. It was a two-lane road. I was in the right lane. He finally went around me, and I gave him a dorky wave.

30 seconds later, he was in front of me at the next red light, so to be a dick, I honked at him.

Dude spent the next 10 minutes in front of me going like 10 miles per hour. I wasn't in a hurry, so I thought I'd just let that play out. Later, when I switched lanes to avoid a turn-only, he switched immediately after. I realized that he intended to stay in front of me driving slowly presumably until I got home.

So I eventually faked him out and lost him.

Dude wasted 10 minutes of his life proving some kind of insane point. He had a young daughter in the back seat. I feel bad for her.
