I try to make these interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep and it's pod for ultra. I have some travel coming up, and one of, if not the biggest thing I will miss, is not sleeping on a bed that has the ability to cool itself on both sides. It really is a magical reminder of what technology has been able to achieve since the Industrial Revolution. Yes, there's endless ways in which suffering has been alleviated across the world, and it continues to, and the quality of life continues to improve. But this little inkling, this little reminder is a beautiful one. To be able to lay down on a cold surface, using an app, control the temperature of that surface, put on a warm blanket, And I am forever lost in the creation of the millions of engineers who came before us. And the millions of engineers who will come after. Who are doing everything they can to build a better world. And that's what I dream about when I'm taking a nap. It's that better world.

This episode is also brought to you by Saley, a brand new eSIM service app that offers several affordable data plans in over 150 countries. That, for me, has been the biggest pain when traveling, is to make sure when I get to the airport, when I leave the airport, I'm able to communicate with the world. Or just communicate with a map that can make sure I don't get completely lost in this new country where I don't speak the language and all the other complexities of travel. Everything is made easier when you have an internet connection. And again, just a reminder how lucky we are in the 21st century. Billions of people are able to be seamlessly connected with each other.
So anyway, I've had countless and countless experiences where... I have a terrible internet and the SIM situation is complicated. Do I buy a new SIM at the airport? And it's just a mess. And so Saley takes on this problem, make sure it's affordable, but also make sure it's super easy. If you're traveling and you want to make sure you stay connected, try them out. Go to saley.com slash Lex and get 15% off any eSIM data plan. That's saley.com slash Lex to get 15% off. This episode is also brought to you by Ground News, a nonpartisan news aggregator that I use to compare media coverage from across the political spectrum. In these days and weeks especially, a site like this is just priceless. Reporting on the different things going on in the world, whether it's local, whether it's national, whether it's international, it's really nice to be able to get multiple perspectives and for that perspective to be presented with a clear indication of the best kind of estimate from which side of the political spectrum this reporting is coming from.
Anyway, Ground News is doing an amazing thing that I always thought should exist and I'm glad they're building it. Basically creating a tech solution to the problem of the division of the completely biased subjective reporting presenting itself as if it's objective. So breaking through all of that. And they're doing a lot of really nice other things like the blind spot feed shows discrepancies in media coverage on the left and the right. There's just a lot of really nice features. Go check them out. It's groundnews.com slash Lex, and you'll get 40% off the Ground News Vantage plan, giving you access to all of their features. Trust me, it's worth it.
