Have done this twice recently. Did not own shares in either company outside of likely ownership in 401ks or index funds. They don’t check. Ridiculously effective.

I’d like to see something for this for travel sports.

I asked a French friend who comes from a long line of hunters. He'd never heard of it either. There are quite a few French woodcock preparations that include eating the guts, but I…

“Destroyed” forest are perfect Warbler habitat—at least for the Kirtland’s Warbler which requires dense areas of young jack pine. That means either fires or logging are essential t…

There’s a TikTok account that shows up in my feed from a lobster fisherman with a series called “Will It Fish?” where he tests Baird suggested by his audience. I find it quite enjo…

An IM with repeating tags until you hit the character limit was good for about 30 seconds of lag/freezing on the Mac client. 10 of those in fast succession would pretty much make y…

What about antibiotics?

The YouTube Kids AppleTV app is also horrible. It freezes and needs to be restarted constantly immediately after opening. But even worse is that there is no way to quickly rewind o…

In 7th grade my English teacher had us each put together a book on grammar. I used "The Far Side" cartoons to illustrate all of the rules that I had learned. I wish I could link to…

I stopped at the same exact point.

One thing thing that I love about Apple Maps is that they have the name of every river, stream, creek, and ditch if you zoom in far enough. I can't find this information in Google …

Even "real" truffle oil (or butter or some other fat) need not contain real truffles. It's quite easy to infuse fats with truffle aroma. If you put truffles and a fat (with suffici…

One of my favorite cooking videos is "Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Kit Kats" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nqJiBRNQuw It's a perfect example of hacking without a compu…

This is my frustration. I'd prefer to shop elsewhere, but the convenience of walking to Whole Food and grabbing whatever I need (or at least trying to) is hard to pass up when the …

I live less than a five minute walk from a Whole Foods (Chicago - North Ave), so I shop there quite a bit even though I'm not a huge fan of the store. While I haven't seen empty sh…

When I was at Cornell in the mid 2000s, one of the frats did a prank similar to this--though all it took was a roll of quarters. They loaded up the jukebox in the Ivy Room with qua…

There's also a tax benefit in the U.S. Taking the capital gain can be far more favorable than taking the profits of the business as regular income.

Make it pay really well and people won't try to get out of it.

My 9 roommates and I paid $60k a year for one of those decrepit old houses--and this was 10 years ago. At $500 per month each, it didn't seem that bad, but we really got ripped off…

A family friend was one of the people who helped develop the Lyme vaccine. He invited my Dad to be part of the trial because my Dad spends a lot of time outdoors. It turned out tha…

One thing that they don't talk about at all is meat quality. Whom you buy your brisket from can be much more important than optimizing every detail of the smoking process.

I wrote the company profiles myself. I found all kinds of companies with jobs that weren't posted on any other job boards. Growing an initial audience was the easy part for me beca…

Yes, that's true. I was actually surprised that they didn't exit for more. Ask question 1 again and replace Indeed with Google.

I ran a company in the college employment space for 7+ years. I recently shut it down. At our peak we had 150-200k unique visits per month and an email list around 10k. I was scrap…

It also drastically increases a recruiter/hiring manager's time spent looking at résumés if they can't skim them.
