This morning one of my crab pots went overboard without buoys attached at about a depth of 80-90 feet. I know exactly where it is, and while I can just buy a new one, I've decided to challenge myself with recovering it. Right now the thought is to drop a rope with a claw on it in the general area and hope I snag it as I float by. Curious if anyone here has any advice or ideas on how else I could go about recovering it.

30s/M US citizen currently in Seoul through Sunday and looking to both explore during the day and go out at night. I've explored Myeongdong and Hongdae the last few days to great success but just relocated to the Inspire resort in Incheon and realized I've made a terrible mistake - it's absolutely dead here, spiritually and socially. I'm wanting to connect with other English speakers and am considering a ticketed bar crawl in Itaewon on the weekend but at the moment don't have too many other ideas. Mostly looking to take in new sights during the day wherever I can, then socialize and adventure at night. Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated.

I think I'm done with ChatGPT unless they drastically upgrade their offering. Gemini and Claude have been absolutely blowing me away the last few weeks. The Antigravity IDE public preview with both Gemini 3 and Claude Opus 4.5, NotesbookLM upgrades, Nano Banana upgrades, and the 6-12 month free Gemini Pro subscription offers for Pixel buyers and students. I've completely transitioned out of OpenAI and now when I try to go back it's honestly a bit painful. What a wild ride seeing Google take the lead but can't say I'm surprised given their resources.

I’m in tech, specifically customer success, with 10 years of experience. Over the past year I’ve averaged about 50 applications a week, usually resulting in 1 or 2 phone screens. This past month things flipped. I’m now seeing 5 to 10 interviews a week, and most screens are advancing to hiring manager conversations, case studies and skill assessments, with most roles targeting Q1 starts.

Given the scale of recent layoffs, I expected hiring to cool off. Is the market capitalizing on newly available talent, or are companies rehiring for roles they just cut?
