My pickleball book has published, which means a return to a more consistent Deal Secrets schedule! PLUS: A $36 Ember Mug, a surprising Kindle secret, and more!

Happy to hear my favorite Cheapskate is back posting. I've followed many of your purchase suggestions of the years! Thanks!
Best of luck on the Pickleball book. (..and yes, my pickleball paddles came out of a suggestion from you!) (..and also the Parrot drone I own, which was recommended by you.)
I'm in awe (and a bit terrified) of that podcast. My "it's a shill for the drone company" detector went off, but my "it's not human" never did. It was super high quality and felt very authentic. All this came by AI riffing on your Yahoo review? Holy cow! I thought my software dev career was really jeopardized by AI (and it is), but with this, it feels that compensated small-time marketer/influencers are really really in jeopardy (though perhaps trusted reviewers like you can more easily off-load their podcast efforts to the bots and do very well for themselves. Good luck to you!)
Hey Rick! Glad to have you back in time for Black Friday. I totally agree with you on Bad Monkey. Who knew Vince Vaughn could act? Please point me to a beginner’s read on AI that you would recommend to an older guy and I’ll get you a hot cuppa Joe!
Hi, Stan... not sure I know of a great beginner's guide... I'd basically just be googling for one, same as you. :) That said, the latest episode of The Skeptics Guide to the Universe (fun podcast), #1006, has an interesting segment on AI and "common sense."

Needed some good news amid all the politics and conflicts in the world. Thanks for being that good news today and so great to hear from you Rick.
My pleasure! Know exactly what you mean. I need this nightmare to be OVER already. Nov. 5 can't come soon enough...

That podcast is terrifying.
Congrats on the book release, Rick!
