FWIW, If you’re talking about the bank bailout in 2008, that was signed by Bush (not Obama). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Economic_Stabiliza...

I like Eno, Eluvium and Helios and these are some artists that have similar music I’ve found that I didn’t see mentioned so far: Ryuichi Sakamoto (sample piece: solari) Roedelius (…

Helpful ritual: not having zoom meetings half of every work day. Went from a remote company that did this to one that didn’t and I am way more productive and less burnt out. Also h…

This may not help a lot, but I did a good job at my regular employer and connected with coworkers. One of my coworkers introduced me to people that needed some side work. That turn…

Aspartame makes me dizzy, even a little bit like from gum containing it. I have to abstain.

I’ve found therapy and support groups helpful during and after going through this. People at work and other places may not get it or have the capacity to care to the extent to make…

It could have been done before COVID so it would’ve already been done. Business people aren’t dumb and if they could have offshores development, they would have (and they also have…

It’s not that hard to see why this matters now. On the one hand you have folks that want to ban rights of LGBTQ folks, end ability to get an abortion safely, for example. On the ot…

She mentioned calculating that due to retiring before the age of 65 as an option. However comparing only 2nd cheapest silver plan seems a little lacking; more equivalent would prob…

Washington has a ton of cool outdoors stuff. Just be ready to have maybe max a couple months of great weather per year to enjoy it (unless you don't mind overcast and drizzle, or f…

In addition, some states may penalize the employer for not paying state payroll taxes including state unemployment insurance for the employee. Realistically, this may be difficult …

Any ideas why it seems like tech hotspots start passing laws like this? I'm thinking of San Francisco, Seattle, and Austin. I feel like there is some correlation, but I do not know…

No offense, but this logic makes no sense to me. It's like, most studies are flawed so let's try random things I saw on the internet in hopes they might help. I don't get it. Don't…

Nothing is stopping anyone from doing what they think makes sense to them -- scientific studies should still be just that though, following sound principles to be able to draw real…

Worth a read, more in depth analysis of some of these studies: https://liorpachter.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/mathematical-an...

Not necessarily, but worth a try. Had to turn down an offer from a prospective employer due to a company unwilling to help with this, ended up burning alot of my and their time for…

I recently read Transcendental and related books by this author and really enjoyed the writing style and stories. What a cool life to get to create and share science fiction with u…

I agree about the inflammatory part regarding the headline. Keep it in context about the particular situation at hand. That said, in general, I think it can be frightening and trau…

The dictionary definition of violence seems to include meaning the use of physical force to damage or destroy. I mean we can say this is different here, but I'd imagine we'd feel d…

Did I miss something, is this an exception -- I thought they are not allowing Americans into Finland due to COVID-19?

I'm not so sure if it is a side effect of therapy? At least in the modern capitalist world, people seem to be pretty 'me first' whether they've done therapy or not. Take America, w…

This theory doesn't make a lot of sense to me, I've heard it a few times though. Why would someone buy a house away from the city during a temporary pandemic shutdown, assuming whe…

Either coastal Carolinas or Hawaii. We like living near the ocean and access to good outdoors activities on land. Coastal Carolinas is much more affordable than Hawaii and more acc…

This doesn't directly answer your question and you didn't ask it, but I feel it relates directly to the source of your frustration potentially: you may never find a job that is ful…
