If you rely on search for traffic to your website and youβve seen declines due to the consumer shift from search engines to AI search results,what kinds of declines are you seeing?
When did that start to occur?
What are you doing to mitigate it if anything?
Major tipping point happening nowβ¦
An incredible look into the war in Ukraine and how shifts in technology, particularly towards using drones and AI, have changed the balance of power.
The new paradigm shift is absolutely fascinating, but of course, is also terrifying.

Hey @mikesimonsen.bsky.social - Whatβs going on with the LA market? Iβve talked to some friends who are getting generous unsolicited offers well above market prices for their homes.
Clearly people are desperate for homes.
Curious if thereβs any early data out post-fires?
Schools were closed mid-day today and all schools on Maui are closed tomorrow. The wind has been gusting in the 50-60mph range all day. Rain picked up early evening and it looks like severe thunderstorms all night.
Oh, and the airports to the State of Hawaii and inter-island are closed. π³

Hawaii mountains could get blizzard conditions with 1-2 feet of snow & 85 mph winds tonight! Rest of state, flooding rain, high winds, waterspouts. #hiwx www.accuweather.com/en/winter-we...
All HawaiΚ»i Department of Education public schools in Maui County will remain closed to students and faculty on Friday, Jan. 31, based on the latest information from emergency management officials.

Does anyone here on Maui have access to hens of egg-laying age for sale?
We just got our coop and weβre hoping to buy some chickens.
Yeah. I was pretty surprised as well. Weβd have to fill up the tub a few times a day to make that happen. I canβt figure it out. π€·π»ββοΈ
The average family of 5 uses 400-500 gallons of water per day.
This is our water use this week for our group of 5 (plus 2 guests for 1/2 the week).
We are in a water crisis across much of the Earth. Doing our part here to conserveβ¦.
Anyone else tracking their water consumption?
Egg hunt on Maui: π₯
The shortage has been real, but today my mom got to Costco early and raced through the store to score a 60-pack (limit 1). π€―
1οΈβ£ Who needs 60 eggs?
2οΈβ£ Wouldnβt half-dozen packs make more sense?
Weβve been giving ours to friends in need. π€·π»ββοΈ #EggShortage #MauiLife"
Landscape between a parking lot and a street modified to catch and infiltrate rain runoff from both sources. Trees would be the next addition, IMO. The bottom of the swale is rock-lined & populated with emergent sedges. Occasional pedestrian bridges cross over the temporary standing water.
Illustration showing the elements and construction materials needed to create an urban / suburban bioswale, and various benefits.
What if we combined parking & wetlands to reduce flooding & recharge water tables? Talk to your city managers.
After only 4 years my Craftsman power washer is kaput.
It is so frustrating when equipment fails after a short time.
They really donβt make things like they used to.
A horse with an AT-AT costume and a guy who looks half proud half disgusted with the horse
A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume
YES, that is SNOW in HAWAII!
It is a Snow Day today on Maui as Haleakeala Crater gets a dusting of snow after last nightβs incredibly violent and intense thunderstorms.
Believe it or not, we will see snow at the top of the 10,000+ peak once or twice a year.
Nice. I started watching on the plane - got hooked.
Waiting for Ep 8 to drop and Iβll get the kids to watch the whole thing.
What does everyone think of Star Wars Skeleton Crew so far?
It feels like an awesome blend of Star Wars and The Goonies to me.
What a fun series!
Love this! With so much pressure to act like others in order to fit in or to advance your social or job status, it is becoming more and more rare to find people that are true individuals.
Always stay true to yourself with one caveat . . .
The key is to always be open to improve who you are.
Normalize picking up the litter and plastic pollution you see while at your local beach or park and you and everyone else that visits will find it a more pleasant place to go the next time.
Winds gusting in excess of 80mph in Malibu right now near the #Palisades fire. Cal Fire has grounded all air resources due to high winds.
I had the privilege of meeting Larry here while visiting Kangaroo Island in South Australia. This kind soul was rescued and lives on a reserve (he was rewilded several times, but kept returning to to the reserve).
Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
The mangoes are exploding with flowers . . . here we go!

We need to connect the communities across the island and create safe places for recreation and commuting β build dedicated lanes and most importantly, a commitment towards progress.
We have an amazing opportunity here for the health of residents and visitors, but local government must act.
Hawaii is considered the 25th Most Bicycle Friendly State in America.
Here in Maui, there are very few dedicated / safe bike paths and they are disconnected to places people want to or need to go.
A good friend was killed last year here. We need more infrastructure.
Something needs to change.
Sounds so delightful.
I built a large audience online by educating people about real estate and personal finance.
I completely stopped focusing on real estate and talking about it over 6 years ago.
I havenβt offered commentary or other content, yet people in the space continue to follow me.
