Also definitely look into ventless dryers - while not as quick as a vented one, the heat pump versions have come a long way from the classic condenser styles of the past.

Efficiency and power are not equivalent. All you need to do is look at the most powerful (hp per liter) cars and the exhaust systems they use for proof.

"sleep training a baby that's ~20 years old" this book sounds hilarious

I hope you can take a step back and understand how wild it is that carrying a plastic card in your pocket for 2 minutes while you exit your building and hand it to pretty much anyone is too "inconvenient" and you'd rather throw away the $$.

I was hoping he'd take the module out and open it up to see what was fried/malfunctioning inside.

Yes. A lot of people are being affected by his poor choices and a lot of people are watching said outcomes play out. This means there will be a significant number of people writing about it.

My anecdotal experience is that none of the ~10 or so pro-Charter School people I know are in the bottom 30% of incomes (even talking about bottom 30% of my network). Most of them reference the curriculum and their objections, whether from religious beliefs, pseudoscience, or similar. Others planned to send their kids to private school anyways and want to save money.

If you know anything about building a house you'll know that; 1) not everything shitty is visible, and 2) not everything shitty can be understood by homeowners, otherwise we'd need no codes/minimums (we'd all be perfect architects/building scientists/craftspeople).

I could get behind removing almost all zoning, but code is just sensible.

Bingo. As someone who started a brick and mortar business that is tied to our home, the financial failure would have very real impacts on us, regardless of having an LLC.

$2k is $10k at a 5 year loan (+ ongoing!), so a considerable part of the economic equation for most car buyers (avg US car purchase is $47k).

As an outsider, I think the conversation went off the rails here when you assumed the OP wasn't "going to connect with the article" based on their comment. This is now the 2nd time w/o reason you're implying that, whereas the OP is talking about general implications of the word choice (on the author and on people in general, not on people's emotional state while reading it).

CEOs?

More likely to be a tech lead in those cases, or to be helping hold the project together while they are hiring a full time resource. Also in certain cases the companies are so far from ideal states that a lot of good can be done in 6 months. Overall, I agree that most times it won't make sense for a company to plan on switching dev managers or tech leads after < 6 months, but again that assumes ideal conditions or options.

Dev Manager or Tech Lead - $150/hr for longer (3+ week) engagements, $225/hr for shorter ones. Focus is generally optimizing delivery + quality, which can take the form of anything from requirements gathering processes to testing pipelines or rebuilding trust. Fully remote in Maine.

I don't have any research to back this up, but it's possible that framing it as being more focused on less interesting work rather than "productive" helps clarify what might cause it. When we are well rested, our brains are functioning at a higher level, which includes spending energy making micro decisions about how important things are, what the priority is, what work is related to what you are currently looking at, and so on. When over tired, our bodies exert less energy on non critical processes, which might mean not overanalyzing or being distracted away from a task you'd rather not have to do.

So getting certain work done is easier when tired, but productivity would arguably include doing the "right" thing, mapping the right information together, and so on, which you'd want to be better rested for.

Curious to hear if you agree on the productivity vs focus clarification, or if you feel like you're truly more productive in the sense that you do some of your best work (greatest ideas, executed efficiently, with minimal errors) when tired?
