Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk want to eliminate all IP law, but should we?
Then China turned the trade war up another notch by halting the export of rare earth metals. It's Wednesday, April 16th. Let's ride.
So our coworkers found this fun website that tells you how much progress we've made in the year so far and puts that into context in other areas. As of this morning, we are 29% of the way through 2025, which means in a 40-hour work week, it would be 12.33 p.m. on a Tuesday. In a marathon, you'd have about 19.2 miles left to run.
And in the book, The Hobbit, Bilbo would be performing riddles in the dark.
Honestly, I took a lot of optimism from this because I don't want the year to fly by. It still feels like we're in the early inning. So I want to have 19 miles left of the marathon that is 2025. And I want it to be early afternoon on a Tuesday. There's still so much to get done and so many podcasts to record, Neil. Though I will say the first part of the year has definitely felt like a Monday.
But yes, a very fun site. Do you have the URL on you right here? We'll put it in the show notes. We'll put it in the show notes. Go check it out. It's pretty fun to just mess around. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, you ever notice how some puzzle pieces just click into place?
Oh, that sweet little snap. I'd like to add a little tap, tap, tap for good measure. That's the sound of destiny.
