Sounds like the whole Mexican fisherman story. I make good money. I work 10am-5pm every day. I don't make as much money as people who are more career oriented. But I also save 50% of my paycheck even factoring in that I have a wife and

I keep a stack of paper on my desk. I don't keep a journal with it, but I've always found that blank printer paper is the best tool for fleshing out ideas and keeping quick notes on what your thought process is.

I've been doing something very similar to this for the past year and a half. I was inspired by one of my coworkers who has a long running list of notes in a google doc. I run "vim `date -I`", which opens a file for the curren

For one, the two articles you linked are from liberal media sources. Of course they are going to find fault with conservatives. More importantly, just because conservatives are more likely to believe a certain form of fake news doesn't

I completely forgot why I was watching this video or how I came across it, but I found it quite enjoyable. A nice afternoon distraction from work.

A thing I've thought is really interesting on how the news is covering Coronavirus here in the US is they like to talk about all the economic harm going on in the US and then they blame it on the government response rather than the pan

It's downvoted and greyed out because of a general hate of Jordan Peterson (which I've found is really independent of political affiliation), but it's a good clip in my opinion.

We were just discussing this past weekend how folding lawn chairs are far more comfortable than the "bag chairs" that have become so popular in recent years. Plus they seem to be quite a bit more durable.

A thing I think is interesting is I can never remember having the actual flu. We got the stomach flu all the time as kids, and have gotten it yearly since having kids, and for most of that time I assumed that's what people meant by the

The number one thing keeping me at my most-likely bullshit job is that health insurance in America is only affordable if you have an employer to foot the bill. If I was single, I don't think I would care much. But I'm married with

I think the trouble is that, despite this researcher being from Europe, the lab-made origin theory is "right wing", and thus more or less blasphemy in certain circles. You see the same thing any time a Hydroxychloroquine article c

Iowa. I think the base rate here is about $1k / night. Could be wrong on that though. Our oldest is four and half now, so it's been a while. It's possible I just didn't read the bills correctly. Either way I'm sure

I think the part that turns me off to it is "Look we can flip a sphere inside out" followed shortly after by "You can't do this in real life". So what's the point then? Who cares?
