I’ll give you the context: so I had to drive around to client sites and do some work but traffic was always bad so I was late often. I felt bad for being late so I would always apologize. Clients would then remark to my boss about the techs being late so she told me to never apologizing for being late and then people won’t remember you being late. I generally find that people would rather you get started immediately than hear an excuse. I do still apologize for being late if I’m more than a little late but I do it later when they aren’t as impatient.

This stuff is great if you want big muscles and you build them easily, but for the comrade I don’t suggest it. You need some strength for the revolution but you also need speed, flexibility, good posture, and an ideal body weight. IMO, a strong focus on flexibility and olympic weightlifting achieves good results. I know too many people who got slipped discs because they did a bad squat at the gym.

Good post, emulators are what got me into old internet forums back in the day. Archive.org has the emulation station which has a ton of actually free playable games in the browser. I know some of the guys who set it up, it’s pretty solid.

It’s common, happened to a friend of mine, it’s called a “post-coital headache”. My friend had such a bad headache after jacking it that he went to a doctor because he thought he may have had an aneurysm.

If someone can’t explain something in a way you can understand, they don’t understand it. And similarly, value clear thinking over remember facts.

One by a former boss, which I found to be really useful in life: “Never apologize for being late”

I sometimes think about how nature was somehow different when I was a kid. Some how lusher with more birds and bugs. I remember catching fireflys in jars. They aren’t around anymore.

We have supply chain problems because demand is still too high but we’re not spending enough? Everyone knew that companies were going to have an inventory glut from overbuying at high rates but we’re the ones to blame when it finally catches up to them and they lose money.

We don’t grow potatoes in Alaska and Ohio wouldn’t be worse off if they did.

Ireland unification is next, around 2024, around the time of the Bell Riots.

They aren’t doing what western countries are doing and it’s spooking investors.

Bank of japan is trying to control the interest rate of bonds by buying bonds from the open market. This increase the supply of money which can cause inflation. This worry is probably what is causing the line to go down. It may be justified, it may not be, it’s a crazy time and nobody can know what will happen.

So here’s the thing, even if Japan loses their interest rate peg and yield curves go out of control, it may not even matter. People claim that yield curves are predictive of a recession but theres no real reason for it.
