Pick out the most important / sentimental items. Have a yard/estate sale one morning. Hire some movers to load up and take a U-Haul to good will or a donation center, have the donation center pick up large furniture, rent a dumpst

Be careful to clear this with your company first. It can become a tax nightmare and could lead to termination if you’re working at a large organization that doesn’t have a presence where you want to work.

If it escaped a lab, via researchers accidentally infecting themselves and then started to spread, infecting a few people at the wet market as a cover might have happened. Or just fabricating evidence that it started there would work. If it

Yeah I didn’t realize it existed either and that’s why I’m spending my time on the organization. I think most people just assume that people can use government benefits to buy diapers. Here is another way to look at it: Take your salary (or

This reminds me of PayDivvy - may be worth seeing what they did and reaching out to the founders to see if they have any recommendations. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/paydivvy

I’d consider it, but would like a Tacoma prime if they decide to make one. Easily 90-95% of my driving is <40 miles and I could do it on EV.

There’s also the fact that people making decisions about whether their kids can afford baths are spending energy and time on that decision, and not using that energy for recreation or other work. Tons of these decisions are non-factors for

Volunteer & serve on the board of a non-profit that focuses on meeting a community need. Did you know that diapers are not covered in the United States by government assistance? So the current setup is that we have a lot of diaper banks

I’m a Subaru driver who wants my next car to be electric or hybrid electric… this appeals to me. I’ve liked trucks before but I have not been able to justify the cost. Pretty much all EVs are in the same ball park now (40K-50k for dual moto

Yeah I have a U-Haul nearby and can rent a bench seat pickup with an 8 foot bed for <$100 to do what I need to do around town. I have to keep this in mind when looking at trucks and trying to justify the utility aspect. $50K is a lot to

I have a different brand of slippers (Giesswein), but needed to replace my liners and tried these ( https://www.ugg.com/men/sheepskin-insole/1101442.html ) for the heck of it. I will never, ever go back.

You can't do any kipping / front to back movement. Worth it IMO to get a beefier bar (see Rogue's above door offering) so that you don't break your tailbone falling off the door frame & can use resistance bands for a

Extraverts gain energy from getting to know people. I don’t think they’re lazy or don’t care about people, but they truly get energy from talking and being around others. That’s how they recharge. Introverts expend energy doing the same thi

Assuming by the tide you mean oil and gas. There was a saying that if you’re in Houston you’re either there because you’re sick or in oil. They’ve got a huge medical industry that brings a lot of value. MD Anderson has world leading cancer

I’d hazard a guess that a lot more people also died of “natural causes“. Unless you cut someone open, the way cancer actually kills you (organs shutting down, trouble breathing, etc) would be described as “natural causes” or getting old and

To some extent, but there are definitely regional differences. Living in Boston is just more expensive than living in Houston. Controlling for everything else, Boston just doesn’t have the land or labor available to build houses like Housto

Same here. You can do this on iOS with tabs that are open longer than a day, but I don’t think this is a built in feature for safari on MacOS. I find it useful on the phone where I’ll often open multiple tabs (navigate through to the new ta

If there’s truly nothing of value for four years of school, then I’d argue that university isn’t really worth attending… And the required courses of bio, chem, o chem, and physics give all doctors a basic understanding of the scientific met

I’m not sure why that attitude would encourage cheating… could you say more? There’s even another piece to it, and that’s the moral and ethical side of it. When one takes a class or attends university, they agree to that class’ or universit

If the 3.9 or 4.0 was used to beat out another applicant to medical school with a 3.6 who was actually learning skills that would help them as a doctor, then yes, we should care. And that's why I mentioned a relevant class and not unde

There is stuff you need to know cold, and stuff you should be able to reference. I do not want an ER doctor checking an anatomy book to figure out what they are looking at when someone rolls into the ER. I do want a surgeon to look up and l

It’s an interesting thought, but they are dynamic systems. So an org that has zero aim to reduce efficiency will eventually become extremely inefficient as things tip in that direction. Everything in moderation…

I’ve been bumped into SLA hell when incorrectly filling out a form as well. Go fill the form to make the request - it’s got a 3 day SLA so it shouldn’t be a problem. Day 3 - form rejected due to missing a small detail / something they

The thing that kills me about the ticketing systems is that they are often put into place in a way that is locally efficient but does not make sense globally. For example, an application owner might have to submit a ticket to request an upg
