When I read the link, I immediately said to myself “Well, I guess it’s just like prune juice.” But that still doesn’t mean it doesn’t seem strange on paper.

They tell you your brain is broken and you’ll never live a normal life without medication?
I was seeing a counselor years back and she made this point to me. “If you had a heart condition that could be treated with medication, would you take it? What makes taking care of your brain different?” I was really the simple bit of logic I needed to hear. Luckily, the meds worked with only a couple minor increases over the years. Medication is absolutely an avenue worth exploring.
If I get more Hiro, I’m happy. I was so excited to see his 5 seconds in Bullet Train.
Okay, I’m following. So who would you recommend as an email provider?
I mean, that’s going to be a risk you take with any hosted service. I currently self-host my contacts and calendar, but I have no interest in hosting my own email again.
What Zoho plan are you using? I can’t quite tell what the difference between the free and lite tiers is except for IMAP/POP support.
I moved over to Proton earlier this year and have had a good experience so far, but I’m not married to it or anything.
That’s like pointing at your shit and saying “everything is literally in the toilet” when someone asks what you ate. If you can’t effectively structure an argument, you won’t convince anyone of anything.
And since no one else has called it out yet, GTFO with your antisemitism.
The movie is good, though I felt it missed a lot of things I found interesting in the book. (Don’t ask what exactly, it’s been a while.)
If you were bored by the first book, don’t even bother with the others.
I don’t often give up on books, but I couldn’t finish the third. Maybe one day I’ll go back, but yeah, it all went downhill after the first one.
Of course you can, but those are still short term rentals, so I’m not quite sure what your point is. Mine was that short term rentals are good for some people and probably aren’t responsible for housing market problems.
There are places where we can all squeeze into a room, and we do. It all depends on the trip and what we’re looking to get out of it. We don’t mind sharing beds and putting someone on a sofa, but it’s harder as the kids are all getting into teen years.
Weird take, but okay.
I do still look for Airbnbs every time we travel because we’re a family of 5. Not a lot of hotels will accommodate 5 to a room and separate rooms means twice the price. Airbnb offers a lot more options for a family with the added benefits of a full kitchen and having a place that can actually be a short term home rather than a room with a bed.
Here’s the last one we rented: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/794199620391731129
I get that Airbnbs take some homes off the market and in some areas (like mine), that sucks because demand is high and supply is low. But they aren’t going to be the reason for a housing crunch. Here in Portland, Maine, we’re a small city on the ocean, thrive on tourists, have great restaurants, and are an easy drive to Boston or to ski resorts or Acadia. The housing market has been bonkers for YEARS and it isn’t going to change if we ban short term rentals.
Sure, but who HASN’T done that?
I appreciate ongoing conversations about this, but I think they tend to be too broad. Managers aren’t worried about the remote workers who are productive and reliable. The worry is the people who aren’t. On my team, you are fully remote as long as you meet expectations. You don’t, you return to office.
My wife’s company recently went from a hybrid 2 days in office per week to 4 days. One month later, they’re walking it back to 3 days because even managers were choosing to work extra days from home “so they could focus.”
They only mention it once, but I do have issues with mentorship in a remote work environment. I just personally haven’t been able to make it work. I’m sure some do.
I have some faith that eventually we’ll all work it out. Just going through some growing pains.
I mean, if you are paying for two services but don’t use one by choice, sure I can see the value not being there.
Family is one of the biggest reasons. A huge part of it for me was minimizing at least SOME of the ads my kids would be exposed to.
I know not everyone will agree, but I think YouTube premium is the better bang-for-buck service. $3 more per month than Spotify and includes YouTube Music premium and YouTube Premium. So all the music and ad-free YouTube.
If the option is Spotify or pirating, you’re really not hurting indie artists. They don’t make shit from streaming.
Absolutely not a joke! I was eating some granola bar and noticed in the ingredient list. I thought it was some ridiculous labeling thing and had to look it up. The bit you quoted was what I figured it was, but it still sounds absurd on the surface.
