As of about 5 years ago this started happening to me for some reason. I can confirm what another poster said - it comes as quite a shock the first time ! It happens to me about once a year now and it's painless but weird. I've ne

I find myself wondering, how much collective time is being lost these days to authentication? I mean, if you have to authenticate using your phone, you have to dig it out of your pocket, sign into the phone, read the text message or use the

I find that playing some white noise on headphones can really help. On youtube there are many videos such as 10 hours of rain on a pond. I've been bothered by my coworkers typing, I find that the patter of rain and clatter of keyboard

Interesting article. I enjoyed watching that movie not too long ago which made it even better. A small correction: In the picture of the reddit co-founders the caption is incorrect, it says "reddit co-founders (right to left) Alexis Oh

That was a great read, particularly the frequent hidden notes :) thanks for taking such an immense amount of time to research and write it all up.

Continuing after a window cracked seems bad. Why not figure out why it cracked and fix it, then try again?

It depends where you live... It's definitely not like England and France where there's usually (always?) a bakery close by.

Sorry to hear about this, here are a few thoughts and suggestions: * Look into getting onto your wife's health insurance - losing your job is a "qualifying event". * Spend some time networking - if you don't already have

Focussed too much on the technical side of things and not enough on the people side of things at work. I'm trying to change this but should have done it years ago.

Useful suggestions. I think that the crack allows the weight to go onto the corner of the basket instead of being concentrated on the little bump/foot. So it might be a self-limiting problem where no action is needed (for a long time a
