When I was writing this book I set an e-mail bounceback with the subject line “In Monk Mode.” The e-mail said: “Dear Friends, I am currently working on a new book which has put enormous burdens on my time. Unfortunately, I am unable to res

I just tried 2 more of the suggested itineraries and they were both flat-out not-doable time-wise. The third suggested breakfast somewhere plus the Whale Sharks Tour in 5 hours total. Nevermind how far these might be from each other -- th

Yup, that's how burnout works -- by tricking you into continually coming up with reasons to believe that it's all your fault. Fortunately, however -- once you have enough observational data with these things (so as to be able to m

Your time is up at this place, and it's time to move on. However -- don't quit. Except in blatantly abusive situations, there's almost no reason to do that (and will hurt both your income stream and your chances at finding a

Right, but only in the sense that depression and anxiety aren't "bad", they're just "pain signals". You get to find a job you do want and your employer gets to find somebody who wants to do your job more than

Doesn't help at all if the roots themselves are dusted, as per the article. Right?

Would you care to elaborate on Observation 1 ("has an overly effeminate culture and harmfully stifles masculinity")? Also, re: "men are men and women are women" -- how are LGBT rights doing in Ukraine outside of Kyiv the

Humans are approaching the point of no return. Unfortunately - humans are worse than cockroaches, and no matter what happens to the climate - a significant portion of us will always survive. It's a good chunk of all the other species

Their children feel bad about themselves because they can't accept who their fathers were. I get the moral point you're trying to make. But otherwise this statement simply is not factually tenable. Granted, some children who

Why not start with an open system like Linux or OpenBSD? Probably because they were traumatized by how much extra work that was (and for a sub-par desktop experience overall), last time they went down that rabbit hole.

They said "accept". They said "accept him ", as a direct object. Not "accept the fact that he had negative qualities", which is something entirely different.

Terrible for marketing. But perfectly suitable to such a dorky product.
