I remember a teacher telling us that parents should not check their kids Google classroom accounts because it would be a violation of the other students’ privacy. I understand what they were saying but there’s no way I’m not checking my kid’s Google classroom account. Ridiculous.

Which is why I break out my G Shocks every once in a while. I get sick of seeing Apple watches everywhere. The problem is they’re so damned useful so I always come back to it.

I’m in the same boat. If I put in contacts to correct my vision for distance I have to wear reading glasses to be able to see my phone or read a book.

Seemed like more of a gimmick to me.

Many times it would say something like Rain stopping in 10 minutes. Then 8 minutes later… Rain stopping in 15 minutes. On and on as it steadily rained.

Nice victim blaming.

Started reading a book by Irish humorist Ross O’Carroll-Kelley.

It’s full of Dublin slang specific to the 90’s I think. I don’t understand a lot of it but it’s fascinating to sort of listen in on the patois.

Steroids before too. He speculated that the growth hormone actually triggered the cancer growth.

Imagine what Franz Kafka could do with the Software Engineer interview process. It practically writes itself.

The novels based on these games were really good. I think they are out of print unfortunately.

You can make millions as a famous actor in Hollywood. So what? That doesn’t describe the average actor’s situation.

I guess it depends on what you mean by “made”

By “wrong” you mean in disagreement with you? If not then what do you mean by half the population being “wrong”?

Well. No God that you agree with maybe.

Didn’t he try to order hits?

Either way you will certainly decline and eventually die.

I remember reading that even in early Tours de France riders would surreptitiously jump into a car to get ahead in the race.

If you listen to that kind of jazz long enough you start hearing things. Patterns. References to other songs or standards in a solo. Two players interacting and having a kind of conversation with each other. I’ve listened to this album so many times I can play it in my mind.

If you’re really interested then listen to it enough so that it becomes somewhat familiar. You’ll be able to distinguish the structure from the improv and hear the interaction between the two. Bill Evans was a classical pianist. Maybe just focus on the piano and try to see what it’s doing in the song.

My Favorite Things by John Coltrane may be a better place to start though. It really emphasizes a familiar melody.

Sounds like they’re determining their own price with the technology that’s available.

It can still be leaked.

Great book. But his recommendations are hard to follow.

40 minutes of zone 2 cardio at least 4 times a week plus zone 5 training once a week plus a strength training regimen plus mobility work.

I exercise about an hour 5-6 days a week and that isn’t enough to cover this regimen.

His recommendations make sense given that his most important indicator for longevity is exercise. But it’s a lot of time per day. Two hours some days if you really follow it.

I used to work in an open office and one guy had a light mounted to his cube. When it was red it meant do not disturb. Green meant he was available for whatever.

This is how Hemingway wrote. He’d stop at a point where he knew what he wanted to write next so the following day he could pick right up where he left off.

My avocado pet peeve are the ones with long strands of fiber in them. Not sure why they develop or how to avoid them.

You may have colleagues or reports who you genuinely like and don't want to burn or over-stress by just leaving without warning. That's the way I see it. If I truly despised everyone I worked with I'd consider just leaving immediately if I had to opportunity, otherwise 2 weeks.

Also if you just leave it may be harder to get a decent reference from your colleagues for future jobs.

Too much effort? Takes me maybe 30 mins a week. Seems like very little effort in exchange for being on top of your finances.

What do you mean by “required “? Franken voluntary resigned to hold himself to the same standards he’d hold others to. He could have fought calls for his resignation but didn’t.

The movement of his head has led some to suggest there was a shooter in the sewer that the car passed.

>He already has?

What’s the point of the question mark there? Are you not sure of your statement?

I thought moon shot was in reference to the rescue effort for Apollo 13.
