Calm down tiger, who’s judging here? Just stating facts. I drink alcohol from time to time but I also realize I feel better when I don’t regularly.

This is accurate. I have a decent amount of Republican family and friends and this week was the first time I’d seen them go, “wait, oh HELL no.” I mean there is now a Republican group that is suing this administration for not following due process and circumventing Congress. That says a lot.

Just think about a retiree boomer who had their savings wiped out. What’s left to lose? Personally, I think there is a Julius Ceasar moment coming. Not condoning that but the writing is on the wall.

Ah, I see you have a Samsung refrigerator.

TSA Precheck. Yes, it’s borderline extortion but it really is a LOT faster and more stress free at major hubs.

As a hiring manager I find it to be a complete waste of time. I’d rather talk to someone for 15 min and decide whether or not to push forward with a longer format interview than waste 5 watching a video.

Just keep in mind that Colorado isn’t a state that voted for him.

For me it was finding joy in work.

I, partly, became a manager to help others develop. I’ve been fortunate and worked for a few companies that believe the company can’t be at its best unless we’re training others to do our roles, train up mentality. I found that it’s a major kick to see someone succeed in something they never thought they could achieve.

I’ve helped a guy making decent money, make a lot more, raise his credit substantially, and fulfill the dream of owning a home. That’s something he never thought he’d be able to do. He was stuck in the mentality of born poor, die poor. He just needed someone to show him how our capitalist systems work and how to take advantage of that. Not only is he making more money but he’s happier and therefore more productive and does better quality work. No other sense of accomplishment has come close for me than directly affecting others lives. It’s really something.

And echoing what others’ have said, you do build endurance to the hours and grind the more you do it. I can basically work all day and not feel tired until I finally relax. I’m fortunate enough to have a job that has shorter days to balance the longer and I’m not stuck in an office all day (which I HATE). Not all jobs are office only / physical labor only. The great thing about COVID is that it forced remote work and a lot more flexibility in a lot of industries. I’m more of a hybrid work is best for me person.

It also helps to build a solid daily, weekly, monthly routine or “battle rhythm” as the military puts it. This helps break up the monotony of the days while keeping you on track to succeed. Consistency is the major thing that separates those that accomplish their goals and those that don’t.

Go on a sugar detox for 30 days just by cutting out sugary drinks like soda or sweet tea. When you go back to drinking it you’ll be chocked at how sweet it tastes now. You’ve just become desensitized to the 38-45g of sugar in a 12oz. The major benefit is you just feel better. Sugar is totally a drug.

Bavarian, yes. Good distinction.

Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.

I mean he’s more like the ancient emperor’s than anything else. I see a Julius Caesar moment coming. I don’t condone it but people are just on the brink of losing everything and there’s going to be a retiree that will have nothing to lose soon.

So no, he isn’t the dumbest. There were quite a lot of them that we know about. He’s just our dumb one. Ugh.

German potato salad is vinegar based. Delicious.

Oof. Stare.

Bwaaaaahahahaha. Told my wife and I just got a state. lol.

Very cool write up. I’ve always wondered what tools people use to do things like this.

I’ve got a bug out zone extremely close to a bordering country that’s self sufficient. Staying put unless things get wildly out of hand. We could probably house another 2 families if needed.

Nah, my company buys them because they work well for the price and support multiple monitors. I haven’t seen a single person I work with use the Trackpoint. Just about everyone uses the trackpad and some have traveling mice.

The reason there aren’t anymore crank windows isn’t because it’s a mandatory upsell, it’s because motorized is probably as cheap or even cheaper thanks to modern manufacturing and the preference of 99% of other people.

The Thinkpads all have trackpads too. I don’t use the trackpoint myself but the trackpad tracks well.

We need more people well off to do things like this. Well done!
