I think the first 2 seasons of world building was great in Dark, but unfortunately very few people are able to close such complex series well. The notable exceptions being Vince gilligan for BB and hopefully BCS, and the Americans team.

I read all of your points and they are well made, then I switch app and watch tiktok and I see a totally different world where 14, 16, 17 years do not even need to be forced to expose and I wonder did they just get this way in the era of mo

Very interesting reading. I have also been reading about insulin resistance and how one philosophy was to give more insulin, and another philosophy is to reduce insulin + add fasting so that your body corrects towards the new life [ maybe I

Similar example: came back home from a long trip to stale air. Maybe there's another problem or maybe that's just me, but next time we start the air from the airport and the air is pretty normal by the time we get in.

Why do we? I am currently in a 25+ people weekly sync up that is completely meandering. I can't do anything productive since it is hard to focus but I can read hacker news or Reddit because it does not strain the mind that much. Do thi

If you have seen JAG or NCIS (tv shows), you probably know some of these and with NCIS being a top (broadcast) show for a few years, it is quite likely a lot of (dare I say older) people have heard of these

I never liked chocolates. Then about 4-5 years back (then late 40s for me), I started eating, and then for the next 2-3 years, I could never resist having a chocolate. Then after some effort from my side, I stopped and now I do not feel as

As a fellow failed dieter, just trying to find something that will work for me ... So you switch diets because you stabilize and want more weight loss, OR because they stop working? Curious to hear about the switch. My personal preference i

It matters because the adopter may highlight only 3 out of 20 exercises and if you did not know the original source, you may never learn about the other 17. Not that you may need the others, but maybe if you were aware, you could explore fu

I know google search is probably not the same as google flights, but I spent a few hours recently (over a few days) using google flights and it was a delight to use compared to the Expedia children. We had a bereavement in the family and ha

Good to see your comment. I have been having this issue and worth trying your solution.

I have done this, but sometimes the issues are systematic. My manager wants junior coaching to be done only some ways and those ways are not conducible to healthy mentoring. And he does ask for these screenshots but he is satisfied as long

I have been watching the sanction game for 45 days now. Almost every day, we have new sanctions ... bigger and better, and this time we will fix them. For first 2 weeks I ignored it, because it takes time to get your act together (although

Even at large companies, I have seen instances (not common but instances) if candidate playing one group against the other so I guess you are incentivized to pull them in your group.

Sorry it ended being too long ... but it is late, so I will let it be. I used to be very fearful of talking, I would be ok in 1:1 or 1:2 scenarios. But put me in a bigger group, and I will not speak a word, Zero. And I would panic if the sp

A lot of people (on Reddit) are calling SWIFT expulsion as the lever. Also the nord stream 2 seems to be inoperational shutting down number 1 would have shown seriousness. So I don't know the endgame but I think the west has levers it

Talking of Reddit downvoted, I am not sure it is that bad. I have been downvoted to hell and I have downvoted. But my observation is that downvoted comments get hidden quickly so only the truly extreme comments are downvoted big or only the

I have been using Tweetbot with the above strategy for over 5 years maybe longer. Works so wonderfully that sometimes I don't get what the fuss is about ... since I never use the timeline. The lists are easily visible in Tweetbot but I

I think TikTok has it figured out. They have a thing called "Live" and there are people throwing money at the hosts every single day, and guess what : the company gets the 30% (I suspect did not calculate) cut. This may not be eno

Anecdote warning: This is one reason I have not been able to buy/sell google options. (I did around Brexit when google was 650 or so, but not since). Even a single contract is a massive risk for a layman portfolio like mine. 1/20

Why are people going to compare to a nuke? Because the media uses those terms. Maybe we need to suggest alternatives. Also since 1945, had there been just a single size of nukes? I may not have a sense of how big a Hiroshima nuke was as com
