Reality: tone is just as important as content when it comes to human communication.

Cory Doctorow is the king of cringe and always has been, which makes it super hard to take his thinking seriously despite the many times he's been right. But maybe it requires people who are that shrill and eyeroll-inducing to change

Nobody is going to lose their job, die, or start a war because of our bad woodworking projects ;-)

When I was burned out I dedicated myself to learning something completely outside of my current context. I plan on doing this regularly now, maybe every 2-3 years. On my docket is: - Woodworking - Cooking - especially baking, since it can b

Thanks a ton for the advice!

Thanks – I probably should have been clearer: I work in a variety of programs (FinalDraft, Highland 2, Gdocs, Scrivener, Notion) so I need to emulate what I see on my regular screen (OSX). My goal with the e-ink display is to be able to do

Have been thinking about one of these for writing. Is it something you recommend for that express purpose? Note: I can't just use an e-ink screen w/keyboard and a simple text editor, I used a handful of specialized writing program

Sorry I upset you

Yeah I wasn't sure how to read that comment either. I think it's fine to have a familial/friendly culture at work, but not in lieu of fair pay – and not in any way made mandatory. Nothing worse than 'mandatory fun time&#

The easiest way for leaders to mitigate the problem of 'not wanting to work' is to make work a more desirable place to be. It's not even hard to do. Some simple rules for managers and leaders: 1. Treat others as you wish to b

You seem really upset – tell you what, take a breather, step back and think about the larger point I'm trying to make here.

I'm sorry this is upsetting you, but I'm certain that no matter what sort of information I provide to you, it won't change your mind.

About 3/4 of all domestic airline profits are accounted for by business travel. You are bad at this.

Not just businesses but individuals too. And tax incentives ≠ giving money away.

You've confused ticket volume with profits.

HSR has multiple purposes, but if you think it isn't meant for commuters... well, it's not worth arguing with you.

by 23B1 3y ago
Did you RTFA? The cited UW report is entirely about commuters. If you want to visit granny in Portland, take a car no problem. If a Seattle exec needs to meet with his dev team in Olympia once a week, make it a zoom.

There's a hundred different ways to disincentivize commutes – without subsidies either: simple tax incentives.
741.
by 23B1 3y ago
As a PNW native: no thanks. I'd much rather we spend tax dollars on ways to prevent the need for commutes – especially ones that require highway travel.

Why do you say low-lying areas? Do you mean like because of coastal/sea-level rise?

Just for fun: Am I the only one who thinks there's connection between this and the UAP news that's coming out? RTSC would probably enable a lot of incredible energy & maneuverability capabilities... Sorry, indulging in a littl

One of the worst aspects of specialization of the workforce (hard skills) has been the complete lack of focus on developing management and leadership (soft skills).

1. Plenty of animals get killed in the creation of vegan diets so that isn't an argument you want to make. 2. I think maybe you missed the point I'm making about dealing with reality as it comes. Food is as inexorably connected to
