Yes, it is a way. The issue is which is the percentage better way. I mean, someone can be mean and spiteful and hate everything about work and make everyone around them miserable. Certianly we've all known people like that. And that me

I have a couple of decades on you and 100% agree with you, and I've noticed the exact same thing. I just saw an article written somewhere today that there's a pill being created so that we don't have to exercise anymore. Jus

No, I love myself. I never get invested into a job, ever. This is a cataclysmic mistake of the first order. However, no matter what I do, I love doing what I'm doing. Doesn't matter if it is working a retail gig, programming, sale

Russia thought they were going to conquer all Ukraine in 3 days. How many generals, colonels, captains has Russia lost? How much equipment - trucks, cars, planes? Sure, maybe those have been battles, but who will win the war? Maybe Russia,

Not really. A country also has to have the ability to be able to defend itself. If every single country in the world recognized Sealand, but they only had a BB gun to defend itself, and 5 guys came up in a rowboat with some AK-47s, and too

I like to think so, but I sure detest the fake humble people, who deny that they know anything . This whole "I know nothing, like, not even that 1+1=2" kind of attitude or this borderline "the universe is holy and I must be

That's about as vague as one can get. What exactly does "interesting" mean to you? You could work for a police department doing tech work for them. You could work at a sewer district helping them out with calculating flows on

Wow. Seriously, how does that even happen? They hire people without a computer science degree that doesn't know about normalization? I don't have any experience with that so I'm actually curious as to how it happens, if you k

As I said in a comment to another person, if you go down that road, nothing is "backed." I'm just talking about regular everyday stuff. The US dollar has been exceedingly strong for a long time, due to many factors, none of

I'm not misusing the word "backed." I'm assuming some sophistication from the reader. And to that point, it is true that nothing backs the dollar, but nothing backs nothing if you go down that road. In past times, when,

What people in science are saying is...show me the evidence. Where is the evidence of a non-physical world? Scientists are theoretically not close-minded about it. They just want you to prove what you say. It's like saying you can fly.

yeah, not sure about the popularity aspect, but with serious weightlifters, you go slow. I've known about negative reps for 45 years, that that's where the muscle is actually built. Those last 2 or 3 reps, you use shit form to get

Of course technical expertise is required in many if not most industries. The question is how much expertise. And the question is also how much management expertise does a great technical person have. Personally, I think it is vastly easier

To be fair, I remember a long time ago that Musk said that he was creating the electric car to force other car companies to create electric cars, in order to help with climate change and all that. I specifically remember reading that while

Yes, but at least greenbacks are backed by real stuff. Backed by the USA, all the millions of workers, the US military, goods being produced, etc. Can a national currency be wiped out? Sure, through mismanagement. BUT, that does not negate

I do not own a smartphone. I've had one in the past for a few years. I do not feel isolated in the least. I do have a VOIP on my computer, that's it. If someone wants to reach me, they can call and see if I'm at my computer (

For several reasons. One is it is kind of a metaphor for how religious people seem to think about "truth." They think that they have the one truth, the only truth, as ordained by their spirit entity, like Zeus, Ishtar, Ra, or JHWH
