Trying to leave things better than I found them.
Thanks for the heads up. Too many non-fiction books these days would be better as a magazine article.There's not nothing in there, but the book is certainly not useful.
I've been playing Caroline Polachek's second album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You on repeat for the last few weeks. It's on quite a few critics' Best of 2023 lists, but I still think she's pretty unknown in the mainstream. Her music is pretty weird to begin with, but you really have to watch the music videos to appreciate just how out there she is. Here's the first track:
Trader Joes is a grocery store for people who don't know how to cook. Now that's a store that barely carries ingredients. They'll sell you five kinds of frozen Asian entrees, but not a bag of brown rice.Kroger barely carries ingredients.
Man, what is going on in the UK these days?
Do you think this problem could be self-correcting in the long run? Won't these folks like SBF who are making faulty predictions all wind up losing one way or another?Dunning-Kruger bias among the mathematically-inclined will result in an inappropriate reliance on Bayesian statistics
That money that should have been going towards student loans was saved, used to pay off credit card debt, and spent on goods and services. If anything, it was massively propping up the economy, because borrowers had hundreds of 'extra' dollars per month to support their consumerism.
This is still grossly exploitative. It would be unreasonable for any job with 25% required business travel to not reimburse employees for all associated expenses. Their own CPO admits that 2 years of work from home was successful, but these facts are clearly being overridden by the feelings of their old-school executives. Screw this guy. This attitude is unbecoming when it's coming from the mayors of New York City and San Francisco. It is pathetic coming from the leader of a 9000 person company town. He's lucky that Smuckers is still a family-run company, and hasn't been seduced away to a neighboring state with the promise of tax breaks. Nicole Massey lives in San Francisco and commutes to Orrville for core weeks. Good for her for overcoming the backwards corporate culture that was thwarting her advancement. Inflexible policies like mandatory in-office days are known to harm recruiting and retention of women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups. It's no surprise why this lunchroom looks like a bag of marshmallows.about 25% of the time ... employees can live anywhere in the U.S. so long as they pay their own way to get to Orrville
If Orrville Mayor Dave Handwerk had his wish, Smucker employees would be back in the office five days a week
Massey ... said she spent much of her time at Smucker in a nonmanagement role, not wanting to take on a leadership position if she couldn’t be in Orrville full-time...
I'm a huge fan of gin, but I've also quit drinking. Any advice on getting started with a project like this?
This music-related documentary rekindled my love for some old-school UK dubstep. As a result, I've been immersing myself in albums like this:
Those would all be reasonable, nondiscriminatory, legitimate actuarial reasons for these decisions. Since the insurance companies can't claim that's what they're doing though, they're making it seem like something else is going on.
There's a pretty deafening silence of the insurance companies refusing to explain their allegedly legitimate reason for taking subsidized housing into account. It leads one to conclude that the real reason must be discriminatory, or they would be able to offer an alternative explanation.
Your friend has great quads. Sounds like you know how to have a good time.
Once you've installed a brand new roof, its the perfect time to consider installing solar panels. The incentives have never been better in most places.
Congratulations! I hope things work out with you and your ex-girlfriend. It sounds like you picked out the ring yourself? How did that go?
Cats are ridiculous creatures. They've really got us tricked. Glad to hear you got yours back safely.
This is a tiny aside from your excellent update. But if you're ever trying to look at something on Twitter in the future, there's a great project called Nitter that allows you to do so without creating an account. For example here's one instance of it pointed to the profile of the New York Times.
hoo-rah! Sure is, bud. I'm glad to hear that you've found your climbing crew.is this what’s it’s like to be actively living the life you’ve envisioned
