And then you get old enough to realize it and actually start enjoying the time you have while you’re in the midst of it.

China. Military has been gearing up to defend Taiwan for years and the intervention has been moved up to only 2 years from now.

Want me to even look at a Tesla? Boot Musk. Otherwise, pound sand.

Nope. But I have my info stripped from the internet weekly and are on the do not call registries. I get spam from time to time of course but haven’t had any lately at all. I get FAR less than my wife. I also don’t sign up for crap to get discounts like she does.

Good list. It also keeps the number of WiFi devices on your network down. Can be an issue with some WiFi routers that have a low cap.

Not all workplaces are like this but a large majority are. People suck at great management.

On a specific to your career note, my wife has been an RN for over a decade at this point, 10 years being at a local hospital. Management was trash there. Her co-workers were great but management made the job suck. They blamed the C-suite (yay, capitalism). What really got her was that she never felt backed by management and when a patient would outright lie, they’d back the patient every time. She left the hospital system to work for a private endo/gastro clinic and she said she should have made that decision years prior. She gets paid less than she would at a hospital but she’s happy and loves her coworkers and the docs that own the practice. They’ve won multiple awards and are top in the region. They’ve throw a hell of a Christmas party to thank the staff (free booze FTW).

Get the hell out of the hospital and find a great private practice. They’re out there and always looking for great nurses.

Good luck friend.

Use LocalSend. It’s open source and works great on all devices and platforms.

This is not accurate. It uses BT to establish the connection and then it transfers the data over peer to peer WiFi, which is why it’s so much faster than Bluetooth File Transfer.

Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.

Calm down tiger, who’s judging here? Just stating facts. I drink alcohol from time to time but I also realize I feel better when I don’t regularly.

This is accurate. I have a decent amount of Republican family and friends and this week was the first time I’d seen them go, “wait, oh HELL no.” I mean there is now a Republican group that is suing this administration for not following due process and circumventing Congress. That says a lot.

Just think about a retiree boomer who had their savings wiped out. What’s left to lose? Personally, I think there is a Julius Ceasar moment coming. Not condoning that but the writing is on the wall.

Ah, I see you have a Samsung refrigerator.

TSA Precheck. Yes, it’s borderline extortion but it really is a LOT faster and more stress free at major hubs.

Just keep in mind that Colorado isn’t a state that voted for him.

For me it was finding joy in work.

I, partly, became a manager to help others develop. I’ve been fortunate and worked for a few companies that believe the company can’t be at its best unless we’re training others to do our roles, train up mentality. I found that it’s a major kick to see someone succeed in something they never thought they could achieve.

I’ve helped a guy making decent money, make a lot more, raise his credit substantially, and fulfill the dream of owning a home. That’s something he never thought he’d be able to do. He was stuck in the mentality of born poor, die poor. He just needed someone to show him how our capitalist systems work and how to take advantage of that. Not only is he making more money but he’s happier and therefore more productive and does better quality work. No other sense of accomplishment has come close for me than directly affecting others lives. It’s really something.

And echoing what others’ have said, you do build endurance to the hours and grind the more you do it. I can basically work all day and not feel tired until I finally relax. I’m fortunate enough to have a job that has shorter days to balance the longer and I’m not stuck in an office all day (which I HATE). Not all jobs are office only / physical labor only. The great thing about COVID is that it forced remote work and a lot more flexibility in a lot of industries. I’m more of a hybrid work is best for me person.

It also helps to build a solid daily, weekly, monthly routine or “battle rhythm” as the military puts it. This helps break up the monotony of the days while keeping you on track to succeed. Consistency is the major thing that separates those that accomplish their goals and those that don’t.

Go on a sugar detox for 30 days just by cutting out sugary drinks like soda or sweet tea. When you go back to drinking it you’ll be chocked at how sweet it tastes now. You’ve just become desensitized to the 38-45g of sugar in a 12oz. The major benefit is you just feel better. Sugar is totally a drug.

Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.

I’ve got a bug out zone extremely close to a bordering country that’s self sufficient. Staying put unless things get wildly out of hand. We could probably house another 2 families if needed.

The reason there aren’t anymore crank windows isn’t because it’s a mandatory upsell, it’s because motorized is probably as cheap or even cheaper thanks to modern manufacturing and the preference of 99% of other people.

We need more people well off to do things like this. Well done!
