    Love love love this. So much wisdom I wish I’d had 30 years ago. Here’s the tl;dr in my opinion, with my own paraphrase: > Approach [life] with curiosity and generosity, not transa…

    Also learn the Heimlich maneuver if you can. It’s easy to learn and you don’t need to be certified. Never thought I’d need it but I saved my brother’s life many years ago. An outli…

    Imagine what they’ll say 600,000 years from now. “Humans began to acquire knowledge around the time of Dacro and the Second Wormhole Leap. The farther back we go…”

    Should have put a “C.” in the middle of the name. Would have been an instant buy.

    This answer unlocked a principle in my thinking about a certain class of problems I’ve been struggling with in a different domain. Thank you!

    FWIW, I used Suica on Apple Wallet on my iPhone 12 in July of this year. Adding money to the card required a debit card tied to my bank. Payment failed with a Visa credit card. Add…

    Toyoda Automatic Loom Works had the jidoka system which automatically stopped the loom when a thread broke[0] preventing downstream production issues. Later used in the Toyota Prod…

    Agree on all fronts. Would also add Oh My God just for the Busta Rhymes inclusion.

    If I had to pick one ATCQ track that satisfies the condition, I'd pick "Jazz (We've Got)" which has a couple of samples from "Green Dolphin Street" plus the drums from "Don't Chang…

    FWIW, whatever issues the BF franchise had in the past, BF42 is super fun today, and stole me away from multiplayer Halo Infinite, which is also pretty great.

    Okay, they really did themselves in by mentioning examples because all I can think about now are some of my favorites they didn't mention. One of my favorite breakdowns of not only…
