That's been 100% my experience as well. The real choice for me is "do I want to sit in front of my keyboarding spiraling down further and being mostly useless (and feeling guilty about that), or do I want to spend a little time ad

Most folks I work with don't take PTO for short appts like that. Usually they just put it on the calendar and communicate it to the team. Or they shift the schedule for the day to start later and work later to fit in a morning appt. Th

Yep, near Spruce Pine, NC. My Grandad lived his whole life in that area and would tell stories about mining mica and riding the trains they used to transport it. There's still a bit of the train system left, at a local amusement park,

Yeah, I don't buy that Boone, NC has the same dialect as Odessa TX. The Western NC / E. TN Appalachian accent is quite a distinct one.

You've missed out then! I grew up in a town with a thriving Main St (Davidson, NC) and loved every minute there. The great coffee shop, diner, drug store, bookstore, library, ice cream shop, and gift store all come to mind. Its popular

I don't think that correlation can be proven, but I'd be curious to see the data. From what I've read, 2/3s [1] of people who commit suicide have never sought any sort of treatment at all, so they'd never present at

Is there a new trend to give AI/tech products common women's names, (Alexa, Macie, Ada, Clara, Julia, etc)? The only male named tech product I can think of really is Watson, and that's old hat by now. It honestly kind of weir

Length of stay is different, but the nature of confinement, and also the abuse and trauma the patients frequently experience sure is similar. While we all know asylums were horrific, I'd caution readers against underestimating just how

Did you read the article? It seems like this model actually results in fewer patients behind sent into hospitalization (which actually is like an asylum).

Ah, the commute may be the thing I'm not accounting for. My last office jobs were about a mile walk from my apartment, so I actually got more movement and fresh air as part of my daily routine. Agreed that car and train time seem less

Quick question I like to ask to remote workers who have worked in office environments before: Do you find your ergonomics are better or worse since switching to working at home? Or the same? I've heard it both ways, but for me it&#x27

I wonder if hardshell cases might also lower the heat tolerance of phones meaningfully. My husband convinced me to switch to a nicer dbrand case for my pixel6A (the lighter/thinner one I bought from google had started warping), and I s

I've tried a bunch of the "entry" fountain pens, but I agree, the Liliput is my favorite by far. It fits my hand a lot better than the Pilot Metro / ECO / Lamy Safari, and it writes so consistently how I expect it t

Interesting, I actually had an extremely similar experience, except it was when I first took ADHD medicine, and I noticed it most strongly while navigating through the city by foot. "Field of View" is a good sort of description fo

Lookup "high THCA hemp" for the loophole stuff (the subreddit "cultofthefranklin" is also dedicated to it). Basically THCA occurs naturally and converts directly to THC when heated (smoked or vaped), so if you test the b

I'd be interested to know if the new market for "full spectrum hemp" in non-decriminalized states is also affecting the legal growers. Here in NC, you can go into stores all over the state and buy thc edibles for a very reaso

That was doable when I was attending in the the early 2010s. I did exactly that, except I also lived off campus my sophomore year. But that was only doable then because it was an in-state public college in a LCOL city. I was paying $300&#x2

What is considered alternative/rock these days? I followed alternative rock in the 00's, and then the indie rock scene through the early 2010s, but it seems like rock in general has dropped off significantly. I'd be happy t

I'm of the opinion that most of the "dark, gritty" stuff we keep seeing in media just boils down to standard trend-chasing and market pressures to continue to use existing IPs. The cheesy, feel-good stuff from the 60s has alr

No worries, it was something I actually had to research recently myself after seeing the results of a poll of users' beliefs on /r/reformed where people were asked about their own beliefs on eucharistic presence. I was raised

Great summary! It's not actually talked about much, and not even well understood by many Protestants themselves, but it actually is a sacrament in most major Protestant traditions I'm familiar with (Reformed[1], Lutheran[2], Angli

Weird metaphor, right? We're probably missing context for that one. My theory is that it boils down to "don't nickel and dime or be overly concerned with recording the amount of your charitable giving" The reason I think

My mother found some of my old ones in storage and gave them to my 5-year-old niece to play with. We laughed because the first thing my niece did: pull all of the tags off! It's kind of nice that she gets to enjoy them as just plain to

I used a friend's once and it seemed fine! Taller height is generally more manageable. It's the lack of one-handed keyboard usability that irritates me the most with modern android phones, and that's more of a width thing.

I've been mostly wearing men's pants for the past few years to get past the pocket problem (skinny leg men's pants fit me pretty well and still have OK pockets). I'm probably in the minority though, most women just carry

If anyone is curious, I think this is referring to dispensationalism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism ), which is indeed a relatively new phenomenon compared to covenant theology. It's interesting h

I don't doubt it's worse now, but as someone who lived a few blocks from that area for about ~5 years (2014-2019), I'm skeptical that the presence of office workers or tourists was really dissuading crime in a meaningful way.

What happens when the dog dies? If a pet is giving you the only love you know, it's going to destroy you to watch it pass. I'm saying that from experience. And we're very unlike animals too. Intelligence is unlike any other f
