I am a software engineering student at the University of Northern Colorado. Currently I am conducting undergraduate research on the use of autonomous drones for fire mitigation.

In my free time, of which there is little, I enjoy music, wine, podcasts, and spending time in the mountains with my partner and our 4-year-old husky.

I don't mean for this to be a loaded question, but isn't it obvious that launching rockets into space over and over again probably isn't good the environment on so many fronts?

It's very interesting to read about other setups and how people use them. For me, it's simply a MBA and logitech mx master 3 mouse.

I'm not finished with it yet, but currently reading designing data-intensive applications and it's probably the most technical I've read. I also have to start digging into an algo book as I move into my final year of college.

I don’t believe that was their point.

If someone chooses to be privacy focused, then they will likely opt out of the things that they can control - that doesn’t change because there are others they can’t.

Oh, wow. You and I left that feeling two completely different ways. I loved every aspect about that story and how it was written.
DenverCode··on The Yoghurt Mafia
Wow, that was an amazing read.

>But if there was irony, there was also a metaphor in their switch from meth to yoghurt. Like yoghurt, if the conditions are right, if there is patience and there is care, people can change and a new kind of culture can survive.

DenverCode··on Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
I was given this book by my father who spent his life in finance. It was an entertaining read - even for someone that knows nothing about the finance world and simply DCA's the indexes.

Highly recommend it.

DenverCode··on Study: A quarter of adults don’t want children – and they’re still happy
Absolutely and it's something I personally make an effort in doing. It's also something I very much enjoy.
DenverCode··on Study: A quarter of adults don’t want children – and they’re still happy
I can't tell you how many times I've been immediately labeled as child hating because I don't want kids.

We are always more than willing to have our friends bring their kids over - they keep the dog distracted :) - or bring them on hikes, etc. with us. I have also been volunteering at the local ice arenas teaching youth hockey and learn to skate programs and it's something I look forward to doing for a long time as it brings me happiness. The idea that I embody r/childfree because I don't want kids of my own is wild to me.

There is, for sure, a cult-like approach from both extremes.

DenverCode··on Study: A quarter of adults don’t want children – and they’re still happy
I think I understand your premise but you can be invested in things well beyond work or yourself that doesn't involve having kids.
DenverCode··on Study: A quarter of adults don’t want children – and they’re still happy
Yes, it was sarcasm - sorry. I am perfectly happy and don't plan on ever having kids.

>there are plenty of organizations where you can volunteer and have a meaningful impact on a kids life.

Absolutely. I've been teaching for learn to skate programs at ice arenas in the area for years and it's been absolutely amazing.

I've found that a lot of people link not wanting to have kids with disliking children all-together and that couldn't be further from the truth with us.

DenverCode··on Study: A quarter of adults don’t want children – and they’re still happy
We have zero interest in children and this is the first time I"m seeing that I am expected to be unhappy.

Guess I'm screwed.
