What scandal? Inflating share prices is standard fare.

Oh snap!!! I think I played on T3 for a LOOONG time in the early 2000s. I once even beat Machine once.

I can't remember my handle...I've had so many over the years.

You are lost and thought DOGE was a good idea? The entire org is ketamine-fueled techbro Elon wannabes; not the best life-valuing gurus.

Maybe take a Buddhist retreat for a year and see if doing quiet charity work feels better than trying to consolidate electrons.

Or just be lost while building affordable housing? Try focusing on others rather than you.

Constantly, like every 10k miles or once a year.

Kettlebells may be what you seek.

Same person.

Interesting way to look at it; # ppl supporting the retired.

You mean, don't pay the fines & business as usual ;)

I have had a couple sabbaticals, and that is me around day 12.

On a scale from Walter White to Willy Wonka, how WW are you?

Feynman loved to go to strip clubs, so it is totally possible to be a genius and a perv.

Time management is key.

Good. Thirst is uncomfortable.

Alternate title: “How to use Dementia to find a missing person.”

Remember when the US went to 55 mph limit due to oil shortage?

This sort of thing happens all the time in big cities. Person is arrested, life up ended, and charges end up being dropped or dismissed. Their personal life has suffered a major setback, all for a government oversight.

Even that poses a fun test. What flipping method is needed to ensure some level of randomness.

I love that idea of a grifter being able to flip a coin as they choose.

This is 2022, not 1990.

Toyota's "Respect for People" was a sort of joke to me when I worked there, then I worked at Amazon and saw the opposite.

Toyota is a great company to work for, albeit super boring.

Try.

I was always the smart kid. Got A-Bs without effort. I regret being lazy and not learning how to learn and work, and I wonder where I would be had I not goofed around so much.

All workers benefits increase with proximity to unions. Doesn't even have to be the same industry, but often it is. See: nurses and teacher unions.

Good perspective, thank you. I am starting an indefinite sabbatical here in 2 weeks, single and no kids. I don't know what I want or need, but I know it's not 50-60 hrs/week. I also will go nuts if I don't have objectives that I work towards. Having a team of coworkers are very motivational.

I would start by presenting the Ancient Giant with a gift to earn their favor first. Some nice cheeses or chocolates, but snails and lasers are cool too.

The American way.

Adapt to weather is easy. Adapting our thinking...well...hasn't happened yet. We continue to bury ourselves in trash and consume our home to death.

You mean, people are the most gullible people on the planet.

I doubt California has a higher percentage of gullibles, but it certainly has more people in total.

I'm 41 and I am 90% sure I've had undiagnosed ADHD or some form since forever.

How do you go about an adult diagnosis for that? Do I just ask my doc "Hey have I had ADHD my whole life?"

It seems that the rules and common law interpretations that we are used to no longer apply to the degree that we imagined.

AGREE. Nothing worse that trash like those disposable stir-sticks that get maybe 20 seconds of use, yet will live in the ecosystem for thousands of years. Multiply that one tiny product by several orders of magnitude, daily, and we are burying ourselves in unusable cinders.

My family in Southern Idaho are a good 30 min from the nearest EMS, and probably 45-60 from a major hospital.

Pretty normal stuff out in the sticks.

Me neither, but now I know where to go when COVID cools its jets.
