anyone care to share experiences where their negotiation efforts failed, and why?

cooking with your friends and family can be fun, relaxing and cheaper than eating out ... imagine an afternoon on a sunny day in a nice backyard, grilling some food, drinking beer/whatever and enjoying the company of your friends and family.

Exactly. And when someone talks about this "purpose" I get a feeling they're trying to scam me. All I have are these little things in life that make me smile and feel good, today it was catching this funny little bug in my code, tomorrow it might be going for a run, on Saturday it may be a message from my mom, and that's all there is :)

Great read, so many interesting and relatable points. Not all though (bathing from a bucket?), which makes it even more interesting because you get to learn about the culture of India as well!

I would recommend short stories by Anton Chekhov, any "Selected Stories" collection is fine. His characters are just normal people from >100 years ago but they feel very real and relatable. He makes you feel as if you're inside their head, the topics are generally very tragic though and it can get a bit depressing.

the very small N part still applies here though, the study was done on 18 children only, given the prevalence of ASD and the complexity of it I think we just need more proof. I won't count it out but I think the conclusions should've just been: this looks promising but we need to study it more. (tbf, i think i'm complaining more about the tone of the article.)

_sigh_ this feeling again when you read about some great "paradigm-shift" advancement and then go to HN comments and find out the study has bunch of holes. :(
