I absolutely love military history, and it's interesting on how much I find it relates to other parts of life. It was just this week I was explaining to my therapist the concept of "Defense in Depth" and how that relates to t

So true, and this is how musical ages and styles change! We could talk about Baroque vs Classical and that switch over into what the standards were. Or how hip-hop turned from a musical expression of life (and certainly not because of livi

Temperature is a tricky concept in space, since you're in a vacuum and there's not much of a medium to really transport heat energy between objects. Therefore if you're in the light, it can heat you up. If you're in th

I used to use habitica and it was pretty fun, and it helped me organize a lot of my repeated but non-daily tasks, like remembering when to put the garbage out, going to the gym, etc. For me, the biggest problem of habits and routines I thi

It's true that most of my managers have been terrible, which I think is honestly par for the course (statistically at least). I have had good managers, but for them, the performance review process actually tends to hamper them. A good

As just a random internet person, please, let me agree that you need a new manager. Other than yourself, no person has more impact on your job, and if you're taking shit and dong well, you can do so much better. Also, never forget tha

> working for a company that isn't engaged with helping you to improve is far worse I agree completely, however that is usually far different than "goal setting" in my experience. It's far more about opportunity, whi

It's all honestly completely useless. I've never had a useful performance review at any company ever. It's either I'm doing bad, and know it, and that is either my fault or due to reasons outside of my control. Or I&#

Not the OP, but I'm in therapy personally, and just as a personal example, didn't realize that some current reactions and feelings were colored by past experiences. In particular, this has to do with patterns I hadn't notice

Well there's interest rates from the Fed, and then there's mortgage rates. Since there's a higher default risk from mortgages than government debt, I think housing interest rates could rise again, they are at historic lows r

I would normally be with you but I burn in just a couple of minutes, and I've unfortunately had some really bad burns in the past (where my skin is still very freckled). I'm totally with you on shade over sunscreen though, I only

I totally agree. Right now I'm actually very vitamin D deficient (10 ng/ml) and on 50,000 IU Rx dosage weekly, and I'm in Arizona! I just don't get enough sunlight and wear sunblock all the time due to being extremely

Yeah I just repurposed a 2015 MBP as a desktop now that it is painfully heavier than my 2018 12" Macbook. I just found out that it could do 4K60 through the display port, and as a desktop machine it's great. Then the next level o

Well the other thing is that color is kind of a human concept, so we are also looking at the Sun with a specific set of equipment that is different from that of an insect, for example. Even questions like "what color is that flower&qu

Grave of the Fireflies I'm calling the most sad anime ever. It is indeed a wonderful movie. I had a friend say "oh have you ever seen that really depressing anime?" and I immediately said "Grave of the Fireflies?"

I agree, but the article really seems to imply marriage, spouse, and kids. It specifically says marriage early on, and then talks about "little league games" and "ballet" which are obviously referring to having kids, wh

Good points and fair enough! I guess my point was that it's kind of a false dichotomy, in that you can have happiness from work, and sadness from relationships as well. But I think also they are inter-related, in that good relationshi

At least on the surface of the moon, you're going to be in darkness for 14 days every 28. This not only means you won't be generating solar power, but your battery efficiency will probably also take a hit due to the cold temperat

I really sympathize with this and feel this way too although sometimes I feel paralyzed by too much choice, and that can make it harder to make "big" decisions, like buying a house, etc.
