Are there any startups working on disrupting US Shipbuilding?

Activity-hours aren't fungible and have constraints. If I need to eat by 6pm and get home from work at 5:30 pm, I generally can't just choose to swap a 9 - 10 pm hour of streaming with an hour of preparing food.

While some people can level up and perform food-prep activities during the 9-10 pm hour so that the following 5:30 - 6 pm slot can be filled with quick prep, many people don't know how to do so, nor see the ROI for such activity.

Guzey updated changed his mind on this topic: https://guzey.com/2022-lessons/#get-minimum-possible-sustain...

A formula 1 race car is _much_ faster than a freight truck. However a freight truck can deliver a lot more goods across the country than an F1 car. Which is your big organization optimizing for?

Not an FDIC auction, but if you’re interested in what this sort of bidding looks like the book Barbarians at the Gate details the LBO auction of RJR Nabisco. That auction was a lot of bankers squired away in conference rooms on separate floors of an office building while the auctioneers walked bids between the various groups.

Try a roost stand (or equivalent) and external keyboard and track pad (I use the smallish apple ones). This has saved my posture when working from outside my office. It’s not the equivalent of the home base setup but it’s good enough that my neck isn’t screaming at me at the end of the day
