* Everyone seems to increasingly be in it for themselves I was fortunate to have had a career with mild autonomy to help other team members even if it was slightly out of my job de…

Simply adding a delay to ensure the sentence doesn't appear after it is spoken would fix this. It's something that unavoidably happens with Saturday Night Live's transcript, for ex…

This is why I choose to be a contractor and an engineer. If I work, I bill. I never understood how anyone in good conscience can work 15hrs while the others at the company work 40h…

Here's what my invoice looks like for today 0.5hr chats, code reviews, time-audit 1.25hr Bug#12345 ... So I have captured the ~15 minutes I spent itemizing/cleaning up my invoice f…

FWH has exposed how many white-collar jobs were only full-time in the ass-in-seat sense and how many employees should have Professional Meeting Attender as their job title. I used …

A comment and response from their YouTube video: I'm going to assume that the same propellers that took it up in the air become generators once you reach elevation? Exactly. More i…

One of the properties I own is in Reno which is a 4hr drive from SF. It's a 2br 1ba condo which Zillow estimates $207k. It's nice, fully remodeled. That would be $900 mortgage + $1…

Correction "100 row style pull-ups" my chest is nearly parallel with the ceiling.

Thanks in advance for the advice. Please share a link when you can.

No, probably more dumb in the "man-up" sense: running immediately after waking in below freezing weather while it's still dark out without warming up or wearing warm clothes. I fel…

David Goggins is that you ? I have been exercising my entire life and running is the only activity that routinely gives me injuries that last for nearly a year. Most of us probably…

"I want to minimize the amount of time I have spend doing it." Just to quickly share what worked for me since many of us don't have room for a row machine: a pull-up bar and a 30lb…

Personally I have gone ever further and started treating "I, you, my, your" as mild swear words especially around people who are insecure or who may unfairly think you are authorit…

"Because who will put up with you if you don't even think you're worthy of love." The answer is people who don't know the real you. Would anyone love you if they saw a clip show of…

Exactly. The working poor want good health insurance, affordable college, paid time off, a pension/retirement, home equity, a safe neighborhood, passive income, a few yearly vacati…

As are people who are impulsively contrarian.

I'll never understand OMAD from a minimum calorie requirement standpoint. I watched a lean muscular YouTuber prepare his one meal which was mostly cauliflower mash and totaled 600 …

My bad, I shouldn't have taken the bait. What could I possibly add to a conversation about security that you couldn't do on your own as a simple thought experiment.

Well, I'll take the bait. Personally I never understood how political views on border security were anti-correlated with the belief climate change will affect food and water securi…

On a motorcycle if I am at a stop with no one behind me I am periodically scanning my review mirror and considering escape routes. If some appears to approach too fast I start flas…

Personal story, I sold my home in Austin in July of this year. I was going to sell it myself but instead found a 1% broker. It was listed at $525k and I would have taken $495k. Bec…

There is a good anti-growth counter argument/observation in Homo Deus. Population growth necessitates economic growth otherwise you end up with unemployment which destabilizes soci…

I was a child in a major city when leaded gasoline was prevalent and I live by an airport now. I probably see as many propeller airplanes in a year as I did automobiles in 5 minute…
