Same here (Canadian prairies). Everything seems possible in the summer. The autumnal equinox hits hard. The only thing that ever worked for me was getting out to the pool regularly in the morning. Getting to the pool was much less effort th

In my experience, the bitter truth is that businesses rely on unsung heroes who do the crappy jobs with loyalty and duty. They will grind to a halt without these people even though it is seldom recognized or rewarded as such. As a contracto

In researching a few home improvement topics, I was amazed how often I found the exact same articles being posted in multiple places with different authorship asserted. It made me think that if I ever wrote anything original it would have t

I'd been watching a lot of visual effects content on YouTube and assumed that's what this was when it popped up on my feed, initially -- eerily smooth, seemingly impossible walking exoskeletons : https://youtu.be/M

I have thought long about this myself in my life (I'm 43) and experienced quite a bit from friends and family who have specifically sought out work to help people and it's complicated . My best resolution, personally, and advice,

Lume cube edge desk light (x2). Logitech brio. Røde NT1 mic into an audio interface. Amazing for video calls, and interviews. I feel very professional. I had the desire to get a Sony mirrorless but all the local Kijiji sellers were flaky.

There's a writer (I want to say Annie Dillard, but I'm not finding it) who said -- don't store up all your best ideas for a rainy day, because invariably when you do open that box, you'll find it empty. Only and always w

My only personal experience with this term was FOCUS, which in the hands of Information Builders got wielded as a marketing term and felt kind of like saying it was "a space age language" (new and modern! ... In the 70s). Not sure
