Something cliche but perhaps relevant: Is it instead that some of these folks who have an "easy" time actually don't care that much about the process? Not ignorance, but not spending much time over-analyzing everything. Inste

100%. I am an avid lifter (not competitive) and love the camaraderie that inevitably pops up at the gym, and elsewhere. I like those comments from the trainer! I like exchanging videos with friends and praising and giving feedback. Now frie

Just wanted to say good for you and keep it up re: 30 pounds lost! What's your exercise regimen? I know there's lot of stuff out there that tells you what to do. Not all of it easy to understand or even effective. Happy to keep re

As two-kid dad, I definitely agree that the time, energy, and cost of delivering and raising kids is HUGE. It's not something that you should undervalue at all. But I think we have this unfortunate habit of severely underweighting the

Spend some time reading about infertility at the start of the baby making process and I think you’ll find that it can terribly difficult. Especially as you progress into your mid/late 30s (women). And it is that starting process that c

Your comment is a bit strange: what makes you "well-versed" - that is an honest question. I'll attempt to change your mind with a bit of math. And some context. I've used/use Peloton, Zwift, Future, and finally bric

Gents, congrats on your launch from a friend in NYC! Have loved hearing about this despite understanding way less than you do about the markets, their problems, and your product. Glad to see you charging forward!

Mostly agree with you but I'll say it this way: make sure you RE-READ your writing after applying Grammarly's suggestions. I ask this question throughout the re-read: would a human write like this? If not, I toss the suggestion or

Interesting. Wasn’t aware of that option. And I agree that it feels strange to sign that data over to someone/something in that manner.

Question about your approach: are you able to partition your Backblaze back-up in order to maintain just a minimal set of photos on your local machine? Would love to do this: - Back-up local machine via Blackblaze - Periodically delete all

Well said - it is among my biggest annoyances with the web. Reviews are almost always packaged into best-of or top-X lists. The quality of the Wirecutter is gradually trending down but it is still the website I use to find the "best&qu

What do you mean by "won't allow" What's "online" with a "quick response" - suppose you step away for 45 mins to work out? Is someone giving you a hard time because your response time to an email or a

You’re doing well so I don’t think you are doing it wrong. But given that base, could you build a side project dedicating just a couple of hours per week to the effort? If/when it turns into a product, great. If not, you’ve not used up

I feel so validated by this comment. Cannot understand how Teams lays out participant video windows. I keep looking for a magic “arrange by” context option that obviously does not exist.

Perfect reliability isn't the only reason why people buy luxury cars. Also, lots of leasing. So you stay inside the warranty period. Economics aside, you can lease a BMW for 3 years that, in my opinion, is WAY more fun and interesting

@corradio - would be interesting to chat with you about your ideas/goals. I don't work in climate tech but adjacent to it: property insurance. We spend a lot of time thinking about ways to mitigate losses from a variety of natural

I'll break this into two components: 1. Is there a button for the thing I'm trying to do? 2. Does the button in (1) do what I expect it to do? (2) drives me crazy. And I'm sure it's both a blessing and a curse as cars co

Happy owner of 21 Mazda CX-5. Agreed completely that they keep it simple. And hide a lot of tech under the hood. I also own an X5 and my CX-5 actually has more tech, but it’s more accessible. +1 for Mazda.

I was new to the world of software development in 2000 (in high school) but immediately loved PHP / MySQL. Made it easier for me to stand up websites for my two bands and integrate more dynamic and database-oriented features into those

Do you have a link to support that amount? Not disputing, just curious to read through whatever source says that.

+1 to learning. Absolutely a blast. And frankly I don’t even find it annoying in traffic. These days lots of sticks have hill assist so don’t have to worry as much about the delicate process of engaging the clutch on a hill. Now missing my

Interesting - I think wider columns produce exactly the opposite outcome. Too much space to cover and width to contemplate, hampering my ability to edit quickly. I don't think the width extra width helps you ingest and manipulate the w

This resonates with me. I typically narrow my Outlook windows to ensure a certain look/feel to my line length and breaks. I get flustered any time the window stretches across the the screen. So fun to read through another person’s expe

Could we instead think of this as two different types of marketplaces? The first covers physically scarce high value items. The second covers more easily reproducible lower-value items. The first is the market where people transact to make

I roughly agree but I think your point presumes that is easier to have friends outside of work. It's a yes/no heavily dependent on your circumstances. I grew up and went to college in Massachusetts, and now live in NYC metro area.
