-[00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:07.040]   Sending payments used to be clunky, unnecessarily difficult, and weirdly invasive at times,
-[00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:08.560]   until I discovered Apple Cash.
-[00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.020]   With Apple Cash, payments are private by design,
-[00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:14.900]   so I don't have to deal with public feeds, awkward reactions, or other payment drama.
-[00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:18.780]   I can send cash in messages right in the conversations I'm already having,

-[00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:22.600]   There's also a cool feature called Tap to Cash
-[00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.900]   that lets you pay somebody nearby by holding your iPhone near theirs.

+[00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:49.720]   You know, I remember a story.
+[00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:52.980]   My roommate and I decided to bunk our beds.
+[00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:56.540]   So we just cut up some plastic hangers and just jammed them in there.
+[00:00:56.540 --> 00:00:59.780]   We could have really used some metal pins.
+[00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:01.500]   Wonder who that roommate could have been.

-[00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:20.000] So what are your thoughts on the new policy changes that were just announced?
-[00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:45.000] Well, I think it's a step in the right direction, but there are definitely some areas that need more clarification.
-[00:15:45.000 --> 00:16:10.000] For instance, the section on renewable energy credits could be more explicit.
-[00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.000] This next part of our conversation might be a bit technical, but I think it's important to delve into the specifics.
+[01:46:23.940 --> 01:46:32.220]   It has so rapidly become one of the most critical apps on my whole system, I cannot even believe it.
+[01:46:32.220 --> 01:46:36.320]   So if you don't use shortcuts, this is completely worthless to you.
+[01:46:36.320 --> 01:46:54.380]   But if you make even mildly complicated shortcuts, you have to be using Logger and it will just completely unlock your ability to be able to make much more complicated shortcuts because you can always know exac
+tly what's happening and exactly where things are going wrong.
+[01:46:54.380 --> 01:46:57.460]   So Logger is my app of the year.
+[01:46:59.320 --> 01:47:02.180]   This episode of Cortex is brought to you by FitBod.
+[01:47:02.180 --> 01:47:06.040]   When you're looking to change your fitness level, it's hard to know where to get started.
+[01:47:06.040 --> 01:47:12.400]   And that is why I want to let you know that FitBod is both an easy and affordable way to build a fitness plan just for you.
+[01:47:12.400 --> 01:47:15.580]   Everybody has their own path when it comes to personal fitness.
+[01:47:15.580 --> 01:47:25.520]   That's why FitBod uses data to make sure they customize things to suit you perfectly, adapting as you improve so every workout will be challenging, pushing you to make the progress that you want.
+[01:47:26.080 --> 01:47:33.180]   You'll see superior results when a workout program is tailored to you exactly, matching your body, your experience, your environment, and goals.
+[01:47:33.180 --> 01:47:40.940]   FitBod stores this information in your FitBod gym profile where it tracks your muscle recovery, making sure that you avoid burnout and keep up your momentum.
+[01:47:40.940 --> 01:47:44.500]   And it builds your best possible workout with the use of exercise science.
+[01:47:44.500 --> 01:47:50.260]   They have analyzed billions of data points that have been fine-tuned by FitBod certified personal trainers.
+[01:47:50.260 --> 01:47:57.180]   And you can make sure you're going to be learning new movements the right way thanks to the more than 1,000 demonstration videos that are all in the FitBod app.
+[01:47:57.180 --> 01:48:07.380]   This is my favorite feature of FitBod that when I get shown a new exercise, I have a perfect way to be able to understand how to do it because of all the videos that they can show me from different angles along
+ with the instructions.
+ [01:48:07.380 --> 01:48:10.100]   And it makes me feel confident about the work that I'm going to be doing.
+ [01:48:10.100 --> 01:48:14.340]   Muscles improve when they're working in concert with the entire musculoskeletal system.
+ [01:48:14.340 --> 01:48:19.360]   So overworking some muscles while underworking others can negatively impact your overall results.
+ [01:48:19.360 --> 01:48:24.280]   This is why FitBod tracks muscle fatigue and recovery to design a well-balanced workout routine,
+ [01:48:24.280 --> 01:48:30.960]   which also means you'll never get bored as the app mixes up your workouts with new exercises, rep schemes, supersets, and circuits.
+ [01:48:30.960 --> 01:48:37.760]   The FitBod app is super easy to use and it integrates with your Apple Watch, WearOS smartwatch, and apps like Strava, Fitbit, and Apple Health.
+ [01:48:37.760 --> 01:48:44.020]   You've already heard in this episode why Gray loves FitBod, and Gray Loving FitBod is the reason why they became a sponsor of the show.
+ [01:48:44.020 --> 01:48:45.960]   So you should go and check it out for yourself.
+ [01:48:45.960 --> 01:48:51.740]   You'll be able to benefit from all of the incredible work from FitBod to help you in your fitness journey.
+ [01:48:51.740 --> 01:48:58.440]   Personalized training of this quality can be expensive, but FitBod is just $12.99 a month or $79.99 a year.
+ [01:48:58.440 --> 01:49:04.380]   But you can get 25% off your membership by signing up today at FitBod.me slash Cortex.

+ [01:49:17.980 --> 01:49:20.120]   We've made it to home screens.
+ [01:49:20.120 --> 01:49:22.360]   Oh, home screens. Right, right.
+ [01:49:22.360 --> 01:49:23.820]   How complicated can it be?
+ [01:49:23.920 --> 01:49:29.820]   So as like last time, my home screens are broken down into a selection of focus modes too.

-[00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.380]   In fact, they've made it easier than ever before with their new system, Blueprint AI.
-[00:14:59.380 --> 00:15:05.140]   Squarespace's AI-enhanced website builder lets you quickly and easily build a site bespoke to your
-business.
-[00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:08.140]   Just input some basic information about your industry and goals.
-[00:15:08.140 --> 00:15:09.480]   This isn't the only way.
-[00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.200]   In fact, you can go in and choose from one of their beautiful templates,
-[00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.620]   their professionally designed beautiful templates,
-[00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:16.900]   and customize it to your heart's content.
-[00:15:16.900 --> 00:15:20.800]   One of the things that I've always loved about Squarespace is their drag-and-drop tools,
-[00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:26.440]   buttons, sliders, selectors, where you can go in and customize your design for your website
-[00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.420]   by actually looking at the design for your website while you're doing it.
-[00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:30.620]   You don't need to know any code.
-[00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:31.880]   I love this.

-[00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:39.060]   What are the other computers that you use to get things done?
-[00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:45.000]   So there are three computers that live in my life.
+[00:32:20.460 --> 00:32:26.000]   You know what got me there is Mark saying hodgepodge, I was like, oh, it's like a Katamari ball.
+[00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.720]   Sure.
+[00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:32.820]   I mean, that's double points for, for accuracy, if there's ever been such a thing, that's...
+[00:32:32.820 --> 00:32:36.060]   Does it ever roll over the farm and collect the dogs and hogs?
+[00:32:36.060 --> 00:32:44.840]   That's not in the, what I have, but like, yeah, theoretically, in your scenario, that would be a hog-ma-dog if that were to have happen.
+[00:32:44.840 --> 00:32:45.900]   That is accurate.
+[00:32:46.820 --> 00:32:50.880]   Amazon One Medical presents Painful Thoughts.

+[00:33:01.540 --> 00:33:05.760]   I'm starting to think that they don't think my call is important at all.
+[00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:13.020]   With Amazon One Medical 24-7 virtual care, you'll get help fast, without having to remain on the line to make an appointment.

+[00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:05.020]   have a lunar display plugged into it so then i'm able to use that mac mini as a server for a bunch of
+[00:16:05.020 --> 00:16:10.320]   tasks at home but i can also from wherever i want at home i can open up the lunar display
+[00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.940]   app on my ipad and get something done quick if i need to on the mac so i have a bunch of little tasks
