Had a similar thing with my friend. He used to drink Pepsi all the time, now he gets stomach burn if he drinks it.

I recently drove a 2019 Tesla Model 3 from NYC to Montreal via Vermont. Personally, I wouldn't do the route I took in a Tesla (/EV) again. The 'range anxiety' set definitely in during the trip because, when departing NYC

Very much agree. I'm a Canadian that moved to the US for better career / pay. Working in finance / VC, I thought I'd be able to buy a house in Ottawa after a few years. Even making upwards of USD $150K + bonus, I can&#x2

I did offer to do that but the main problem is she doesn't want to carry the items and it can be heavy for her with all the tools she carries (she's a piano technician). Really only solution would be finding lightweight alternativ

Obviously not. I guess non-toxic (plastic, PFAs, etc.) would've been a better description.

To my understanding, they can't be microwaved so it defeats the main purpose my wife uses plastic wrap for (wrapping rice balls / covering food and heating them up)

Convenient non-plastic solutions need to be developed. After learning about micro plastics and forever chemicals, I started to get paranoid of this stuff. Started cooking at home more and started removing plastic from my daily life. After m

My assumption would be that they have something to look forward to. Some parts of Africa have improved a lot over the years, whereas the US, for the most part, had it good and now is seeing it slowly decay in real time.

I often perceive luck to be the combination of opportunity + skill/talent (in the sense that you have the skill/talent to take advantage of the opportunity that comes your way). I find that a lot of people like to chock up the suc

I work for a Japanese bank in NYC. Up until COVID, when we had documents that had to be signed by the Tokyo team, we'd overnight it to them via DHL.

You really have to be vigilant. In the summer of last year, my wife and I went to the Bay Area and I rented a Tesla with FSD. While driving from Santa Cruz to Redwood City, I decided to put on the FSD. The car drove fine for a bit then rand

Paraphrasing here but when I looked at crypto forums one mantra they always had was: If you don't own the private keys, then you are not the true owner of the funds.

If you're trading crypto pairs then that is considered a taxable event.[0] Many people owed taxes in 2017 because of that rule. It's not considered a like-to-like exchange. [0] https://www.coindesk.com/learn/

Canada has been doing this for years. Before going through customs / immigration, you go to a kiosk and scan your passport, then it asks to take a picture of you. As far as I recall, there is no sign that notifies you if you may refuse

If you're in the US, it's possible it can be covered by insurance. My wife and I are in the process of doing IVF. Though it can be very expensive - the injection medications cost a total of $16K. Thankfully, it's covered by m

I can't recall where I saw it, but a few years ago I saw an interview that involved some techie. The host asked them about Twitter and said, "what if we get rid of the algorithm, and, say, put everything chronoligically." The

I noticed this too. After a decade break or so, I've started getting back into music mixing as a hobby. I noticed a lot of sites to I used to frequent in order download free sound samples now require an account in order to download. Th

I'm wondering what the value of having "Twitter" on your resume when job searching will have. After all the press on this, I'm wondering if potential employers would look favorably as you being "resilient" or c

Still worth it to get checked out. My wife is also late-thirties. We consulted with an IVF doctor and he said that she her reproductive system is still similar to that of a 35yo woman (meaning that although there is increased risk, it'

That's what I was thinking. I worked for one of the Fortune 500 insurance companies a few years back. They had a semi-annual cuts that saw a bunch of people laid off, including one person who had been working there for almost 15 years.

For some reason, your comment reminded me of one time in elementary school. I got some from school around 3:30, felt tired and then went straight to bed. I woke up around 8:00 and started freaking out, thinking that I had woken up at 8AM in

I mean 0 in terms of yourself. If nothing exists after death, the way I view it is that upon your death, from your perspective, time ceases to exist and everything essentially dies, sure the world may continue existing around you but, but

Thank you for the recommendation! Seems like this is the exact problem I'm dealing with. Curious as to how it changed your perspective?

I don't necessarily view life as a toleration of living and waiting until death, o hope for a "real thing" after death. I'm more hoping for something along of the lines of a "next phase" like transition from sc

While the rational side of me thinks that death is probably oblivion, I just don't want to admit it. After a friend of mine passed away, I did a lot of soul searching and basically came to the conclusion that there's nothing after

This is what I'm wondering. I often get auto warranty calls and I don't even own a vehicle. I just assumed that the calls were spoofed or were illegal in some sense.

Also anecdotal, I had a situation in which I needed to get an MRI in 2020. While I was in Canada, the doctor quoted me about 6 months. I had to go to NYC for a week. While in NYC, I went to a walk-in clinic and they got an MRI scheduled for
