When you venture south, definitely hit Carmel. I'm still not convinced its a real place. It beautiful. A must visit. Skip Monterey. Sorry.
100% this. Carmel is insane. Great weather, scenery, food, art, shopping, etc. Big Sur just to the south. Gets crowded on weekends but much more laid back during the week.
Monterrey is much more downscale. Aquarium is a cool building but overhyped IMHO. It’s just fish and some otters.
Heat 2 Cast Taking Shape
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 7/6/26 at 5:20 pm
Starting to get some info on which actors are playing which characters....
Bale = Hanna
Leo = Shiherlis
Stephen Graham = McCauley
Adam Driver = Wardell (villain role)
The Wrap
For those unfamiliar with the book, Heat 2 is a sequel and prequel to the original movie.
IIRC from the book, there's a few other major roles left to drop: Charlene (Ashley Judd's character), Cerrito (Tom Sizemore), Nate (Jon Voight), and a handful of new characters.

A couple of seasons of toiling around in the back of the pack has Carlos Sainz ready to reinvent formula 1.
I'm curious - what were Carlos' expectations when he joined Williams? Top of the midfield? Potentially supplant a post-Horner / post-Max Redbull? An edge on the new PU thanks to Williams' close relationship w/ Mercedes? I get that everyone at Williams probably expected to be where Alpine is season-to-date.

Pacing was awful in season two and had some really bad story lines for main characters.
Strongly disagree. I could've used 3, maybe 4 more episodes of Daemon tripping balls at the spooky castle.

I do think Accounting will be somewhat protected in the short run because the application layer for AI is still lacking. It's great that KPMG just signed a big deal with Anthropic. How many audit or core tax managers & seniors can actually built an agent or setup a dev environment for Claude Code? And if you say "the firm's in-house IT guys will build the Agents / AI-powered internal tools", my response will be "Have you ever actually worked with those guys?" And it is even worse the further down the food chain you go. I'd love to see a boomer partner at, say, Carr Riggs & Ingram build something in Replit.
I've also found accounting firms to be particularly lousy at technology adoption / integration. Having spent 4 years in Big 4 and 10ish years at national firm / near peers I lost count of the botched and half-assed implementations I witnessed. Curious if others have had similar experiences.
All that said, the kids in Accounting / Internal Audit right now really need to build the foundational and functional skills to utilize LLMs to their full potential. I encourage the youngsters to build a projects portfolio similar to what SWEs and Data Analysts have to do. This will be key to advancement and eventually survival.

re: What’s the science behind Cheat Meals?
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 3/1/26 at 11:44 am to Tiger328
I'm not sure there's really a "science" to cheat meals. It is likely beneficial for some individuals on a structured diet - particularly a caloric deficit / cut - with satiety and long-term adherence. The #1 thing - don't let a cheat meal become a cheat day, cheat weekend, etc. Also, if you are in a cut, it is likely best to "budget" for a cheat meal by consuming less calories elsewhere that day, or reducing calories the day prior and/or the day after. Finally, drink plenty of water (the 1-2 lb increase in scale weight from the cheat meal is likely just water weight from increased sodium and/or glycogen; you'll probably want to flush that excess water) and still get your protein on the cheat meal days.
re: Mom&Pop/Family owned restaurants in Florence/Tuscany and Rome
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 2/23/26 at 6:28 pm to michael corleone
Florence's main market has some incredible places. IIRC the restaurants are on the 2nd floor. Hotel staff (who sent us there) said those places were all locally owned. Great option for lunch.
GQ Article - Is Zone 2 Cardio really better for you?
Posted by NWHoustonTiger on 2/19/26 at 4:53 pm
LINK
Interesting recap of how Zone 2 became popular and some recent research into its effectiveness. Here's what I think the article misses - most proponents of Zone 2 don't recommend it as the focal point of a fitness regimen. Rather, my understanding has always been that Zone 2 is a more-effective and sustainable pairing with strength training (especially hypertrophy-focused strength training) vs. HIIT or other high-intensity training. But I'm definitely open to evidence that indicates otherwise.
