      The amount of microscopic attention to detail that went into making this video is absolutely ridiculous and it's exactly what I love about Raycast

      One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

      Three quick tips for this: 
      
      1) Upgrade to a family account and add the home as a unique account
      
      2) Download playlists to the home account’s library
      
      3) Ask your smart speaker to play the playlist on shuffle to keep it fresher for longer

      Protip. Make a playlist of music for around the house. 
      
      We put our Ultimate Dinner playlist on every night while during dinner and are constantly adding to it. Our kids get exposure to all kinds of music and really enjoy having it on and dancing in the kitchen after eating

      I don’t know how to get around being disappointed and disillusioned with tech. They were never my heros, but I watch the execs bow on bended knee and I’m not exactly surprised they are doing it. But, I didn’t expect them to mean it. To be so weak and easily red pilled.
