Suggestions on how to navigate a "toxic" business partner?

As the title suggests, I'm a part owner with 2 other business partners and one of the partners seems to have big chip on their shoulder. Just a little history. Both of my current business partners used to be my employees at another company I owned years ago, but I left that business. I have a good relationship with my other business partner, but for some reason the 3rd partner just can't seem to communicate with me on anything.

For full transparency, I've also been struggling with her and the way she navigates as a "business owner." She's kind of a slob, can't seem to focus on her particular tasks without being reminded they need to be done, can't communicate what is bothering her and in general it doesn't feel like she is pulling her weight.

Naturally, because the way she functions as an owner, it's been causing me to have a lot of resentment and frustration, which I'm sure is showing. I've tried sharing this with the owners in general terms because I knew if I called her out on it specifically, she would react by shutting down and taking it as a personal attack.

Anyway, without really going into the weeds. I'm just curious how people manage these situations?

Built a Chrome extension so you can clone your squarespace site and then click-and-drag edit it (thinking of it as a Squarespace-style editor for real code)

I know a lot of people haven’t enjoyed the recent news of the squarespace price increases, as well as the god awful sitespeeds that no one can seem to improve but are worried about leaving squarespace because you don’t know what else to do.

https://reddit.com/link/1vq548q/video/3my4xh3v8sjh1/player

So I built NudgeCSS.  A chrome extension that allows you to clone a squarespace site and move it to another platform such as Astro.

Anyone who's moved a site off Squarespace onto something like Astro or a plain HTML/CSS build knows the tradeoff: you get speed and control, but you lose the "just click the thing and drag a slider" editing experience. Suddenly a small font-size tweak means opening a code editor.

I built NudgeCSS to close that gap. It's currently a free Chrome extension while testing.  You can click any element on your live page, a panel pops up with all its styling (fonts, colors, spacing, positioning), and you edit it visually; sliders, color pickers, no code. When you're happy, it hands you clean CSS you can drop straight into your project.

A few things it does beyond the basics:

  • Live mobile/tablet preview so you're not guessing how it looks on other screens
  • A real hover-state editor for buttons/links
  • Bulk-select ("all buttons," "all of this class") so you're not repeating edits by hand
  • A full-page clone/export mode if you want to migrate a whole page's design somewhere else

It's free right now, no catch, because I'm trying to get it in front of about 50 people actually using it on real sites.. If you try it, I'd genuinely like to hear what breaks or what's missing.  Feel free to DM any features or bugs you may come across.

I kept seeing people scared to leave Squarespace because of one thing. So I built a fix.

I spent a lot of time on reddit lately reading about people being fed up with Squarespace's price increases and slow load times. The conversation was always the same: they wanted to move to something faster and cheaper, but they kept stopping themselves at one question.

"What do I do when I need to change a font size or fix something simple?"

On Squarespace you just click and drag. On a modern site, even a small simple change means either learning CSS, hiring someone or working with your AI model of choice.

So I built NudgeCSS.

It's a Chrome extension that brings visual click-to-edit back to any website. You click an element on your page, a panel opens showing all its styles, and you change them with sliders and color pickers. No code. No developer needed.

What it does:

  • Click any element on your page to open the visual editor
  • Edit fonts, colors, spacing, and more through simple visual controls
  • A layer panel shows you the page structure so you can find any element quickly
  • Export clean CSS when you're done, ready to drop into your site
  • If you're working with an AI model, you can simple provide it with the code

It's free during the beta. I'm looking for 50 people to try it on their actual site and tell me what's working and what isn't. Real feedback from real sites is what I need right now.

Drop DM me if you wanna try it out, I'll share the link

Need some real world feedback on my new site

After years trying to duct tape together a site using squarespace, and dealing with their god awful site speeds, I finally pulled the trigger and moved to Astro. With the help of claude code I basically redesigned everything and launched a new site in a weekend. Site speeds are now 100 across the board for the most part. Would love some real world user feedback, be nice. :)

I will say using Claude was actually 10000x easier than squarespace once everything is was set up. It does take a lot of preplanning and research, but once in place, it's a breeze.

12v battery dies on Highway going 75 so does the car : 2020 kia niro lx

So I've been trying to figure out the battery issue for some time. I've taken it to the dealer 2 without them being able to figure it out. The quick back story, about a year ago, my 12v battery would die randomly, so I would have to use the 12 v reset button. At the time, when this first started happening, I only had a USB dongle plugged in to run Carplay so i could have a map and music interface on my dash. I then added a Dashcam that plugged in the cigarette port. I also, recently discovered, thanks to Reddit, that if you don't arm a kia when parked it will drain the battery.

So today, I was driving in Chicago traffic, bumper to bumper. I had both the carplay and dashcam plugged in, as well as headlights and wipers going. When the traffic finally let's up and I'm able to open up to 65-75pm about 5 mins in the hybrid system warning light comes on with the battery light and a warning that says "TURN OFF CAR IMMEDIATELY." I pull over to the side of the highway the best i can since I'm losing power and have no acceleration.

I get over, turn the car off. Give it a sec, hit 12v reset, and then I'm on my way. No issue for the rest of the trip. I did stop using the dashcam and only used the dongle when I was on the highway. My thought is the 12v isn't being charged in the hybrid mode, but hell if I know.

the dealership said the 12v is healthy and they couldn't find any parasitic draws.

Anyone have any ideas?

Claude cowork best practices suggestions for preventing session usage burnout

I'm a commercial photographer and I've been using claude pro now for about 4 months to help with a variety of things in my business from seo audits, website design/html, social media etc etc, so I'm still learning. But most recently I used cowork to help me build a live image viewer for my clients to view images remotely as I'm shooting and leave comments and mark up the images with feedback. It turned out pretty well, and I learned a lot in the process. But one thing I noticed was my 5 hr session usage was burning up quickly, esp compared to other tasks I ran in the past. Below is what I implemented to try and get the maximum out of my 5 hr usage limits:

  • Would start a new thread/session for each phase of the project
  • Created a handoff skill the would provide the new session handoff .md file that is limited to 500-800 tokens in size.
  • Used Sonnet 4.6

Things I noticed that were issues.

  • At times the threads would get long and claude would compact the conversation, which would use a lot of my usage.
  • There was a lot of wasted communication over basic corrections (Basic UI updates for example) and fixes that I could have probably used Haiku 4.5 for but was already locked into Sonnet 4.6

Maybe I should have done this in claude code, but I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for best practices for something like this. Or is just how it is with Claude?

14-Port Thunderbolt Dock issues

I recently bought an OWC 14-Port Thunderbolt Dock (OWCTB3DK14PSG) on ebay. The seller said the dock was in perfectly health and condition (good as new) but I can't seem to get it to power my external monitor or even power a usb keyboard. It does charge my macbook m1 and I'm using certified thunderbolt cables. I even tried updating the driver using parallels but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Lights is blue on dock

laptop shows it's being charged

SD card shows up on desktop when inserted in dock
