Agreed. It's not black and white and the realistic answer is something in between. It's entirely possible to work hard and still play hard, especially in your 20s/30s/40s when your body is still in its prime.

Same here besides some travel ball that screwed up a couple summers for me when I was a pre-teen. I ended up getting burnt out with baseball and quit. Besdies that, from my earliest memories to about 20 I screwed off basically 95% of the

I've screamed at my kids when not looking both ways crossing the street. If not, there is a decent chance they could get run over by an Amazon truck. I don't sugar coat it for them - they know they could die if it happens. Afte

This was extremely well written and full of information I've always wondered about. Thanks a lot for sharing.

No idea whether it's conservative or liberal as I'm not real enthusiastic with the red/blue team stuff. Emotional is probably the best way I can describe it.

Why not try to work for the company you are consulting with, but negotiate a raise in your hourly rate? You've basically already served a probationary period, and if you've shown how good you are it should be a no brainer for the

I'm lucky enough to have a 9 to 4, but I do freelancing on the side as well. I've gotten lowball offers after sending contracts over, one in the past week that was 35% below my rate, which I already thought was low to begin with.

I think the person you are responding to may have forgotten they are no longer posting in the Reddit tab. I've been on this site for a long time - unfortunately these vitriolic types have been bleeding over into this forum more than e

This was very well said and I don't know if you could have said it any better. FWIW, I'm a person with multiple degrees in CS, but the best programmers I've worked with and who get stuff done have zero degrees. I have eight

I think your point is valid and worth looking into - there are also many non profit hospitals in the same situation. That being said, I'm sure it's part of the equation, but I'm not 100% convinced everything can be blamed on

I've been algo trading as a side project for a few years now, but all through TD Ameritrade. I get all my quotes and whatnot with them, and it's free with my accounts. I also get other data elsewhere, which is free as well. I wa

Myself included. One issue I've run into with the public Discords is there are just too many people and therefore too much noise. A smaller non-public group would be ideal.

Not sure if you are open to it, but try mountain biking at some point. Go rent a MTB somewhere with some good trails and see where it takes you. I used to be able to get myself in the gym, but now I can't stand it because it's b

I say this all the time - instead of Wednesdays though, I propose everyday.

Good point here. IRC was also nothing like Twitter or current day social media in general. We also didn't have the massive amount of statistical evidence in mental health that came to light just recently about teenage social media use

Totally in agreement. The Thin Red Line is possibly my favorite film of all time, while I hated The Tree of Life; except for that awesome creation segment. And I also loved A Hidden Life.

Food for thought. A few things work for me. First, eat your last meal early - we eat dinner around 6 and are in bed anywhere from 10pm to midnight. Second, natural apple cider vinegar... If you are getting that terrible burning feeling t

In the Midwest here and drive the same way, from rural to busy city and back. Never had any issues at all with it minus the car or five I let in front of me. I usually keep about 5 car lengths, so a fairly reasonable gap without being ann

This seems obvious now that I think about it, but it's absolutely fascinating regardless.

As someone who worked for one of the big Japanese auto manufacturers less than five years ago in Infotainment, in the exact domain of what this thread is talking about, I agree wholeheartedly. You all may or may not be surprised about the

I agree wholeheartedly, and maybe a bit to the extreme. Worked in pizza shops and factory jobs in and out of HS until I figured out I really didn't want to do that type of stuff the rest of my life. So I enlisted in the 2000s and car

They are out there - when I was looking a few years back I would ask what the interview process is like. If whiteboard, I politely refused and tactfully said why. You won't be taking any FANGG positions, but there are plenty of posit

The US is a melting pot of different philosophies, including the way they treat money. Not only do they have people who worship money, they have people that don't worship money and also everything in between, including those who hate

I agree. To add my POV, I feel this is just another step in the pimping of national land. The government and American people are once again being taken advantage of by one of the big consulting firms. Big surprise. Places like Gatlinbur

Although your first sentence is probably half true, there were a few stimulus signed by both the previous and standing president which contributed to the issue as well. The amount of money that was printed between 2020 and 2022 did indeed

I like your vision here, but the average person living in the USA cares about two things - sports and social media. This is an exaggeration and don't get me wrong, I love a good football game here and there, but there is some truth to

If the same amount of people had access to LSD by simply going to the gas station or local grocery, that is one very big if lol. I get the vibe you are pro-drugs, which isn't a terrible thing IMO, but this thought experiment is somewh

This is all anecdotal, but this one hits home for me. As a longtime NPR supporter well before the 2016 election, I wholeheartedly agree with all your comments. There was a drastic change leading up to that 2016 mess. We shouldn't fo

Can you clarify on this and give some kind of citation or security audit of opt-out testing? Which third parties were these? Working with Tesla or auditing as a separate entity? The biggest part of my question and what holds me up the mos
