Friend was told he had 12 months to live maybe 20 years ago (some rare form of melanoma). Him and his wife committed hard to tons of clinical trials and is still alive to this day and has no indication he’ll be dying anytime soon. He’s the

A much better example is the Toyota Tundra that made it to 1m miles with only a transmission replacement at the ~800k mile mark https://www.motortrend.com/features/million-mile-tundra-the-... Toyota gave the guy a new

I can directly tie my mood to how much exercise I’ve had in a given week. It’s also easy, given how busy life feels, to let the proverbial frog boil in water when it comes to this. My partner often comments when I’ve been a little grumpier

Sorry, counterfeit is more accurate (edited original comment) - director mentioned a number of previous students who ordered their copy from Amazon and got DSM 4s or copies missing huge sections of diagnostic criteria, etc.

I’m about to start grad school to get my clinical mental health counseling licensure, and Amazon has multiple fake/counterfeit DSM-5s (basically the holy grail of recognized mental disorders and their insurance billing codes) on it, so

I live in Seattle and adored playing TLOU2 in my home city. Was a total trip playing set pieces in areas where I used to work downtown. I could get nitpicky about a few areas that didn’t really make sense (and I’m still not really sure wher

It has taken over the lexicon of most major sports to the point I can barely stand watching most of them now… NFL broadcasts lean so heavily into betting odds, parlays, prop bets, everything… it’s so obnoxious hearing about X player hitting

I read the comment and had the same question! I did this myself and ended up with a really satisfying 4ish years as a PM. That being said while I was perhaps fairly cynical about why PMs needed to exist before trying the role myself, after

I’m 0 for 3 on startup equity being worth anything and have since left the industry. One of the startups I did some time at was as close to a sure thing as one can hope for (unicorn valuation at one point) but it still went to zero in a ver

I agree - me and several friends had a rolling text convo where we’d share our mini times each day in a fun daily competition. Has since faded but anytime I think about it I like to load up the puzzle app and do it.

Oh wow… the WordPress example… Worked at a SaaS company that had a fantastic product and a great tech team that had built it. We also did a lot of data-based research and published it as white papers for lead gen. We wanted to start publish

Have seen a few in Seattle where people have replaced the Tesla branding with Honda or Totoya decals. Obviously not fooling anyone but gave me a chuckle.

As a regular thrift store hunter this is a great find that I’d file under the “oddball” category of my collection. Doubt it’s worth that much given regulations and all that but still a one of a kind, and makes for a great story. I certain

Waiting For Guffman is perfect, up there in my Mount Rushmore of comedy films. The true genius is that where it would be really easy to be mocking these small town people and their hokey play, the movie toes the line flawlessly of making su

Funny - I had ChatGPT document some stuff for me this week and asked which responses I preferred as well. Didn’t bother reading either of them, just selected one and went on with my day. If it were me I would have set up a “hey do you mind

It’s time to reach out to people in areas of your interest. Ask them out for coffee, beers, a phone call, whatever and collect as much info from them as possible. Get them to dive into how they got there, and what steps they’d recommend you

I’m in Seattle and during the summer heat, the city dries and sometimes ends up with smokey haze from wildfires. Then comes that random rainy day at the end of the heatwave, gives the city a shower it needs and the fresh smell is unbeatable
