> When you pay it off, you're not spending $thousands per month just for a place to live. Not everyone wants to live somewhere long enough to pay off a place though. It’s no differ…

I’m with you on renting instead of buying. I owned a home until a divorce. It wasn’t for me. I had to develop a whole network of unreliable contractors, which was time-consuming an…

I consult internally in a large tech company on management among other org design and behavior topics. I recommend Managing Humans and Bringing up the Boss. They are the most pract…

But where are the psychologists to supplant him? And this advice isn't that bad. It's similar to diet advice. Diet is complicated so experts just say to restrict calories whether t…

Its not just psychology. All science is affected. Stuart Ritchie’s Science Fictions describes cases from across many disciplines. The worst are cases of misconduct in medical resea…

NYC was founded as and continues to be a financial capital, its where deals are done, so that strong anchor among its overall diversified economy helped. SF is somewhat similar to …

This book was really disappointing. The characters were all underdeveloped, remaining angsty melodramatic teenagers until the end despite them all being adults. It also tries to de…

There are plenty of students who can ace these exams but then utterly fail at getting things done at companies because they lack problem solving experience, a toleration for ambigu…

Lightroom is also the best I have found. Just this week I was able to send an album from a trip in 2012 to a friend and share some photos of a trail run last year with some new acq…

House of the Dragon was based on Fire and Blood, and I thought was much worse than LOTR. I felt like I was duped into watching Downtown Abbey with dragons. Foundation was unwatchab…

I much prefer to be left alone in a “trashy neighborhood” (which is quite a claim based on some plastic cans being outside a few hours early) than be micromanaged by my neighbors.

I hate iOS color rendering though and I tried RAW. I ran the TMB (100mi in Alps) with phone and compact film camera and only 1 iPhone photo made the cut. The colors are too saturat…

I had the same issue with battery being dead often when I wanted to use my iPad. I solved this by setting up a Siri automation to add a task in Todoist to charge the iPad whenever …

I have had this exact same thinking about travel and maybe thought I was just depressed. With how uncomfortable and stressful travel can be, I’m failing to see the point of it. I l…

Absurd. Reading and writing is the only reason we’re not stuck in caves. It’s allowed us to create a shared consciousness across time that has been necessary for progress. So the b…

The definition for socially isolated seems fairly extreme and unlikely to be met by anyone still working, “People were classified as socially isolated if they were living alone, ha…

When I looked into a similar move (a dog who would need to be with me entire time) to Germany from the US, I found a cruise that went to Europe and then from there could rent a car…

The Hario bottle has been my go to method for cold brew last couple years. It’s incredibly easy to use. Cold brew is so much easier on an empty stomach when I want to get some caff…
