I'm so happy to hear about your pain with the new banking partner. I thought I was the only one. That alone almost made me abandon them for good.

They just created a new goals system that "locks" off your money more than original goals. It seems like a good system, I need more experience to really say.

I still love Simple. But they made it readily apparent that I need to have funds in multiple banks to stay financially safe.

I would like in on this. Could we create a discord server to use :P

Could you share some resources you think are a good alternative?

How so if they're not recording all the time?

I'd say it's more about convenience. Not having to open your phone/PC to play music, videos, search, etc.

There's a learning curve to the features and ideal audio conditions. Not great initially. But I work remotely and it's quite useful for timing breaks & lunches, reminders, music, and broadcasting.

There are far better ways to improve your productivity.

East coast, been on YouTube all day. Didn't notice anything. /shrug

Fair. But, it seems to me that having to choose between Android, iOS, or any other OS is an expression of who you are. For others, there are more properties that express them. /shrug

He's a whistle-blower? What information did he reveal that's illegal or unethical?

This political piece doesn't seem like hacker news material to me!

I don't think that stopped or harmed the investigation. I also don't see evidence linking the Flynn conversation to the firing.

The firing is a valid concern. But directors have been fired before. Could be many reasons.

I don't equate "i hope you can let this go" to "shut down the investigation." I get the concern. It's valid. But I feel it's more of an issue if there's an _action_ to suppress the investigation.

I think we can agree the Russia issue is impacting his term. If he thinks he's innocent, he'd be asking for ways to get around it.

The loyalty part is worrying, agreed. But I don't see any actions to obstruct investigations.

I don't think I'd agree firing the director impaired the investigation.

Only said "I hope you can let this go" twice. Seems plausible it's an honest plea for a guy he thinks did nothing wrong. I don't see it obstructing the investigation. Which would be my main concern.

I'm having a hard time finding a response. But I don't see any malicious intentions or acts of obstruction. Though, I can understand how those situations are unnerving for a goal of remaining independent.

TIL I'm an autodidact and that I have a very similar tastes to nihonde :P

I actually hadn't heard the term mindfulness. I think meditation is something I'll need to give a serious try with that in mind. I can see the possible benefits.

You're right on the latter part. But as of late I've gone to the extreme and deactivated all but Snapchat for social media. As well as using Cold Turkey and editing my hosts file's to keep me away from certain sites.

This comment thread hits the nail on the head for why I deactivated my social media.

But I haven't found a good alternative "productive" time waster for when my mind needs a short break.

I would have gone insane years ago if I didn't pick this up. If you remain happy & friendly while being able to explain the reason for any question you ask, no reasonable person can bring you down.

The problem with acting happy in email is it adds more for the client to read. Most people don't enjoy reading longer emails.

Just change/add some little quirks to make it seem like you're happy. Example, instead of Regards, - Say Thanks!

Try to limit the amount of games played per minute by each IP. That way you don't have anyone sabotaging the game constantly for fun.
