suzerainty You can't just lob a hundred dollar word out like that! I spent several moments trying to figure out what your typo was before allowing the possibility that you didn't have one. a relationship in which one state or o

Hey, good luck. I hear you.

Lol - I never noticed the parent/prev/next links. That parent one is super useful! Sometimes I go too deep in a discussion and realize I don't want to be there but can't find my way back easily by eyeballing the indent d

Hey, I get it - the pandemic has been very hard and very frustrating. But, please consider that you're not doing any favors to your beloved institutions by being rude to your peers there as a result of your assumptions about what motiv

TBH that's a very baffling definition of conservatism to me. Makes me wonder what the root of your defined values are.

I don't think it's helpful to make assumptions about the reason for someone's personal preference or comfort and then to deny them the respect of empathy. If you're rude because you jump to the conclusion that I "

I still have a visceral reaction to seeing Beanie Baby's actually be played with. I had young cousins that were into "collecting" them in the 90s, and remember part of it was keeping the tags and not playing with them. Now I

Sorry, I think I'm not following. I think you're saying that housing prices are too high. Then you're saying that if inflation continues housing prices will drop? I totally get that most home sales are based on the monthly mo

I've never seen this before, and very much like it. I went to college with the goal of "work hard, play hard", and I was exhausted!

I started doing this with covid lockdowns, and it's been wonderful. I've had days-long text chains with people that naturally drop off again for a few months, but got us both caught up. I've had meaningful connections with pa

I think they're actually a media company that happens to make hardware. The loyalty of their customers is a result of the high-production value streamed and recorded classes and the celebrity appeal of their instructors.

For anyone interested, I highly recommend Brock Yates's book about the beginning of Canonball. https://smile.amazon.com/Cannonball-Americas-Greatest-Outlaw... Yates was a writer at Car and Driver (my favorite automotiv

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I think you might want to moderate and adjust your media consumption. I don't think the information you're getting is benefiting you.

Thank you. Dual laptops is exactly the sort of advice I was asking for, and I wouldn't have thought to do that.

I think "take out" is unnecessarily hyperbolic language. It seems they're stuck on a radio station, not inoperable or dangerous.

You're being downvoted, but got a chuckle out of me.

You don't know what SpaceX's risk models show. They likely have to balance launch delay costs with launch risk costs, among other variables.

Can you tell me what sort of "workspace" you use when working with your child? I have a 7yo that is starting to show interest in technology, and I'd like to do some visual scripting with her. I have laptops and raspberry pis

They can be correlated, true, or it can simply be evidence that IQ testing has implicit bias on average. I don't know how IQ is tested these days, but I think historically it was a 1:1 or teacher:classroom sort of assessment.

Thank you for your comment. I would have missed that detail, and it brought me joy.

Super happy to hear this. Got my 7yo daughter a snap circuits kit for xmas, and she's pretty curious and so far has enjoyed following the initial setups.

I think that's a little strange. You haven't maintained a single relationship after having been coworkers? Try messaging someone you used to work with to check in - you may enjoy catching up or even stumble into being able to give

I've more than once asked a cold-call recruiter how they got my number where the answer has been a rather candid, "there are markets for such information". Kinda makes me regret the few years my LinkedIn profile had my phone

I'm not sure why either - super curious. I was trying to add to the discussion with my experience. I will add, the role of barista has changed at Starbucks in the last 20 years. When I had that job, pulling a good shot and foaming the

I was a Starbucks barista for a year (2000), and customer tips were an important part of my take home. I think most people think like you, because at the time I calculated my average tip was 5 cents per customer, but that still raise my hou

That's interesting. Though, I'm not a fan of the notion that I'm no longer a Dr. after leaving academia post PhD. But, that's just my emotional take, and doesn't counter your origination history.

What is SFH? Google says some kind of supplement, but I'm guessing your 'H' refers to 'housing'.

Ha, I volunteered to build Earthships in New Mexico in 1995 during my orientation week at college. Fascinating community. Thanks for the reminder.

I haven't experienced quotation marks making any difference in recent times. I think that tip is out of date.
