Actually, Automattic, the distributed company behind WordPress uses blogs (called p2s after the WP theme) for this. Each team has their own 'blog' and you can link them, comment, etc. Then there are company wide blogs with differe

Very much depends on whether you need to check in luggage. My guess is that bag drop is closed 20 minutes prior to departure, but I might be wrong. Picking up luggage can easily add 15-30 minutes as well. Even on relatively small airports l

> The map of Eastern Europe and NATO expansion over the last 25 years makes the US intention to encircle Russia very clear. Perhaps that was the evil plan of NATO. Why I feel it's different, though, is that those Eastern European c

That is kind of evident. I wonder, though, when you get the most value by increasing quantity (e.g. of iterations on a feature) and how far you should push (even yourself, not just others). As a reference: https://jamesclear.com&

Doesn't it literally mean "Until we see each other [again]", which is even closer to "See you"?
