   "It doesn't get easier, you get stronger". I assume you are from a tech background? Break networking down to baby steps. I was always told to go "three deep" on a question. Ex. Me: Hey, how are you? What projects ar

   I purchased a sony DPT-RP1, and while the build quality leaves something to be desired (panel gaps), It is the first tech product in a while that had a little bit of that magical feeling to it. I don't have to truck around all of my te

   I remember going to a StartupGrind event, and the VC they were interviewing flat-out said "VC's are dumb and stupid". I'm not kidding. Initially, I was glad that he was upfront about the situation. But the more I thought

   Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case from my experience. In my city the best magnet elementary/middle schools are already asking kids where they want to go to college. The best high schools in my city have "college prep&qu

   <rant> Anecdotally, I've noticed some of this as well. When I took a leave-of-absence from my degree, some college students flat-out ignored me when I mentioned it. I find it ironic that institutions who are supposed to broaden p

    Anecdotally I had something different. As a kid I was always a sore loser, and sulked after every loss in the game. In retrospect I'm not sure why I took winning so seriously.

    "At Drug Store..." Would they get in trouble for calling the place a Drug Store even though they do not sell prescription medicine?

    Sadly, I don't think so. Check your local meetups. Additionally, SynBioBeta has been an ok source for recent biotech news.

    Yeah, I came across his earlier work, and was disappointed on his latest lectures/videos.

    Actually Jordan Peterson's early work (2010) was what prompted me to post. I agree with the other commenter, though, he seems to have become a sellout and purposely makes his more recent speeches more polarizing.

    Sears, despite their bumblings, had a half-baked solution to this. At some of them, you'd pick the product on a showroom floor, grab a ticket (like for a meat counter), then, at a waiting area by the entrance, you'd have your frid

    Thanks! And now that I think about it, I'm looking less at the psychology of religion, but more so the psychology of virtue/morals.

    I see the confusion. Based on Maslow's hierarchy (pyramid) of needs, one needs to start at the bottom (physiological) and build up from there like a foundation. Because factors, both internal and external to ones lives, erode at access
