D's get degrees

You mean like social security?

Do you have a source for the claim "Low IQ is associated with worse life outcomes"? I've never seen one.

In fact it is EQ - emotional intelligence - and not IQ that predicts positive life outcomes most strongly.

I got a great tidbit a long time ago, whenever you move to a new city and want to get to know it, start training for a marathon. You'll know every nook cranny and hole-in-the-wall in no time.

Ah yes, an alarm to remind themselves later when they're in a position to take a action

I know several very high productivity - as in ultra-productive, super human level with the compensation to match - people that use timers. Everything they want to follow up on they toss into a phone timer. When it goes off they deal with it. Whether that's putting it into a formal calendar whatever. Pretty no-muss no-fuss solution.

I've tried multiple times to use discord, and the fundamental blocker for me seems to be in it's name. Every one feels just like a private slack channel for a company I don't work for. Discordant.

To say that product is going to replace twitter is -imo- just wrong.

Enhance!

    Greg: I'm good, anyway, cuz, uh, my, so, I was just talkin' to my mom, and she said, apparently, he'll leave me five million anyway, so I'm golden, baby.

    Connor: You can't do anything with five, Greg. Five's a nightmare.

    Greg: Is it?

    Connor: Oh, yeah. Can't retire. Not worth it to work. Oh, yes, five will drive you un poco loco, my fine feathered friend.

    Tom: The poorest rich person in America. The world's tallest dwarf.


    Connor: The weakest strong man at the circus.

I agree with this interpretation - after all ponzis, scams, vapor ware, and rug pulls existed long before trust-less distributed ledger software.

I was just a kid just outside of the DC metro area in the country. I remember my dad and I had to stop the car on the side of the highway because the air was so dense with cicadas and the wipers weren't up to the task.

The noise when getting out and standing in that cloud was difficult to describe. It was so loud, all blended together and harmonized into this weird tone that you felt almost like a colored liquid. Completely surreal.

One of my favorite memories with my dad, looking back.

If your fuel pump software doesn't handle leap year, no you should not be considered a professional. That's amateur work.

I find this inspiring - truly an example of heroism and bravery. Bravo.
