This is a good point. I remember when I was in grad school the first time there was a guy in his 50s or 60s who would ask long meandering questions that got on everybody's nerves. Nobody liked him. In school I add value because of my p

In the finance industry Adderall is very popular. I know someone who works as an in-house psychiatrist at a top-tier investment bank. Most of the employees that go to see her are looking for an Adderall prescription. I've known a few p

Very well. I'll do that this weekend when I have more time to read and reply. Should be an interesting discussion, especially since I left a career in finance to go to grad school to do something totally different. It is a big move but

Happily the grad program I am in now is great for building a network of friends. Not only with the current students but the alumni as well.

Really? Interesting. I can do that. How would be the best way to go about that on HN? I'm new here and haven't seen any posts like that. Just start a thread with some info and answer questions?

There's definitely something to this. What other struggles are there that we can take on to facilitate bonding? It occurs to me that raising children is a struggle and can help someone bond with their spouse. That doesn't help sin

I'm 42, and I wish someone told me in my 20's it would be harder to make new friends as I got older. I would have done things differently. I would have put more effort into making friends then. I am able to make new friends, but t

Very happy to hear I've helped you! I have also dealt with both bruxism and sleep apnea so I know the symptoms. I also thought the same thing about going to sleep with my mouth open. I figured we had something in common. Eventually I h

I love this! Great use of technology to build a great product. Can you talk more about the procurement pipeline? Who actually does the printing and shipping/handling? Did you outsource that to someone else, and if so, who?
