we've been out of town for i think about 12 days just got back last night everything in my life is a mess as a result of this like like obviously first of all like my schedule is a mess like that's that's a given like when you take 12 days away from town when you get back everything has to be crammed you know before and after that so hence why we're recording at a

uh my house is a mess like there's boxes everywhere because this was our big like christmas and new year's trip and there was a bunch of family events that we went to while we were gone for different reasons and so we had all sorts of prep you know to prepare for this trip plus christmas stuff so there's boxes everywhere there's a couple of returns stacked up there's a ton of like unpacking and laundry duties we just got back last night

My car, a mess also, like, covered in dirt and mud and, you know, the windshield washer fluid's empty, like, everything, you know, that's a mess. I personally, like, my body is a mess. Like, not only have I eaten mostly cookies for the last two weeks, but, like, it's the point where, like...

I don't know if either of you have a smart scale, but one of the great things about a smart scale is that it records all your entries. You can see them over time. One of the bad things about a smart scale is that it records all your entries and you can see them over time.

76.819 - 93.999 Marco Arment

And so this creates an incentive where if you've just had a really indulgent week and you get home and you step on the scale for the first time, it can cross a certain point where you're like, and you jump off. Because it only records it once the data, like, settles after, like, a second.

94.299 - 115.493 Marco Arment

So you have a window of time that if the reading is going to be something you would rather not be in your permanent record, you can jump off the scale and just revisit in a few days. And so that was this morning's move. You know, like my face also a mess. Like I'm covered in pimples because I don't have my usual product for the last 12 days. I'm sitting here at my desk is a disaster.

115.513 - 123.002 Marco Arment

Like there's mail I have to deal with, like all over the place, different projects all over my desk, my computer, like the virtual environment on my computer.

123.582 - 149.63 Marco Arment

also a mess like there's browser tabs open from before christmas that i'm like well if i order this thing it's gonna arrive while i'm gone so let me wait till after christmas to do that or this thing has to wait till the new year or whatever like so browser tabs everywhere files all over my desktop i gotta deal with i can't even find my macbook air i have for the first time ever i have lost a computer like i'm sure i'll find it in the next day or two but like i currently cannot it's so thin and light i lost it like i should have the

149.67 - 179.43 Marco Arment

thing where it makes a noise like with your phone where you make the beeping noise i don't think they have that for max but they should yeah i can't even find it in my find my list i'm like oh boy oh that's alarming yeah so i'm sure i'm sure it'll turn up but i've never lost a computer or electronics device before ever and i currently have lost a macbook airs but it's fine i haven't had that much time to look who is it who had the story about the original macbook air was like in a stack of papers and got thrown in the garbage was that merlin well i hope that didn't happen to mine although i guess they're being replaced soon but i don't want that to be the reason i replace
