I really don't think one precludes the other. You can take pride in the work you get paid for and the work you do outside of work just the same.

This trick came in very handy when I came back to the game last night. I had figured I could trigger the button somehow from the keyboard, but for whatever reason I never picked up that it was the Enter key that did it. I'm sure I trie

I feel like I must have messed something up in the last section because it took an hour or two longer than I feel like it should have. But now I have won the game. So that seems good.

On a similar note, I accidentally converted about 250k drones back into paper clips last night. The layout moved for some reason while I was clicking. Not my favorite.

I haven't actually found much useful on this site [1], but it's the thing I looked up that let me know I was on "Stage 3". Otherwise I would have had no idea that's what it was called. Maybe it has more in depth inf

After wasting far too much of my evening, it looks like I made it to the beginning of Stage 3. Ran out of patience. This game keeps going and going... Edit: Apparently it saves your state when you close the tab. May have to go back another

I was 28 when my dad died. He was 58. It has definitely shifted how I think about life and what matters. If I live as long as him, I've already passed the midpoint. Really helps you put things in perspective.

And all I'm saying is whatever models you are looking at are blatantly wrong. I've been told every time it comes up since April that Iowa is on the cusp of being the next New York given how terribly we're handling everything.

The economic devastation here in Iowa seems objectively less severe than in states that locked down more completely. People shit on Iowa at every turn for our pandemic response, but we've got a functioning economy and a whopping 3% of

We have something very similar to this that we wrote at my work. Ours is based off Twisted, which works pretty similarly to the new async stuff in python3. The thing ours does, that I can't tell if this one supports or not, is you pass

My job is stable and my portfolio is up for the year. This is a pretty common situation among most of the STEM people I know. So does that mean we're all rich? I mean, objectively we are in most senses of the word. But that's gene

My heart rate was wonky for the first month or so of lockdown. It has since returned to normal and all signs point to it just being anxiety. But I also had a point in July where I felt really wiped out for two or three days, and at the same

I haven't ever seen a mechanical kitchen scale that has any amount of capacity. And they also tend to be much larger and bulkier than a digital scale.
