I Let AI Pick My Meal at an “All-You-Can-(Ish)” Sushi Spot | Deep Dive AI Deep Dive AI • real-life experiment • decision fatigue edition I Let AI Pick My Meal at an “All-You-Can-(Ish)” Sushi Spot 🎧 Listening while I wrote this MRI Calm — Week 01 album (YouTube) → There’s a moment in every adult life where you realize you’ve made too many decisions today. Not big decisions. I’m not talking about “sell the house” decisions or “why does the basement smell like a 2003 gym bag” decisions. I mean the small ones. The constant ones. The ones that show up disguised as a normal Tuesday: What do you want to eat? And this is how I ended up at Ohana, staring at an “all you can (ish)” menu, and doing the most modern thing I could think of: I let AI pick my meal. The Rules of the Game (Because My Bra...

CharlotteRising “Perfect Pairing Guide” — A Sweet, Savory Downtown Stamp Crawl Every town needs at least one event that gets you out of the house and back into real conversations. CharlotteRising’s “Perfect Pairing Guide” does it with one simple trick: a stamp card that turns downtown Charlotte into a mini quest. The concept is easy (and honestly… kind of genius). You visit local businesses, collect a stamp at each stop, and enjoy the themed “pairings” along the way—sweet, savory, and sometimes a little fancy. It’s basically a Valentine’s scavenger hunt… except the prize is cheddar, truffles, and remembering you actually like your hometown.
