Also not a surprise because as the article notes it’s been known and discussed since at least 2018

Huh

Hexbear is an 8/10 on this scale

Your next flight, a minimum of 22 minutes of uninterrupted flying time during every hour in the air!

Thank you!

Can’t read the post past the giant subscribe things banner :/

Research by Forbes magazine found there were 15 billionaires aged 30 or under but that none had created their own wealth (…)

None over 30 created their own wealth either.

I don’t believe it, other than a handful. If there’s a study I might be interested, some random people on social media… eh.

Hex is the superior square

These kind of favors are never about paying something back, it’s always a perverse version of paying it forward; this bond is only posted because there’s an expected future return on investment.

The comments from the article were surprisingly not bad. One made a good point:

The POTUS started his SotU speech with:

“Now it is we who face an unprecedented moment in the history of the Union. And yes, my purpose tonight is to both wake up this Congress, and alert the American people that this is no ordinary moment either. Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today.”

I have watched a lot of state of the union addresses and I cannot remember one that began with this stark of warning.

Yet, all the articles being posted are about MTG and whether Biden looked/didn’t look old and who clapped and who didn’t.

That’s a 5-alarm fire bell he just rang, broadcasted out to the entire country and world, pay attention to what’s important

Good graph, hate the presentation of “X times less”. Just not intuitive and very frequently calculated incorrectly.

Definitely relevant to the work from home situation.

Imo many of the comments here are missing the point, and it sounds like you may not be familiar with the breadth of other life experiences.

That said, I think one of the key things you’ve described is experiences vs things, and time vs loneliness. Having arrived doesn’t make people happy. Having fewer problems doesn’t (necessarily) make people happy. Living in the moment, finding connections, building new experiences, finding ways to help people can all help.

That said, you’re probably also experiencing some existential questions more. The future branches of your life are no longer the focus. Mindfulness can help with that. When life has changed, you don’t feel fulfilled, and you have everything that society says you should have, it’s still easy to wake up one day and realize you’re depressed. It sounds like you’re starting to look for answers. You may be surprised to find that there really aren’t any. And that’s ok.

Hah, no, definitely not a 24/7 thing. More that it can be a useful exercise.

Mostly it’s about best practices I think, and getting a feel for them. Try starting with something simple, like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Describe how it’s done, each step. Think about where it’s efficient, where there’s extra wasted action, or time. By the time you’re done you’ll be considering if your butter knives are stored in the best spot, if you should get everything out at once, or one at a time. Do you have enough inventory? Is having extra inventory a waste? Is it worth washing knives afterwards or get extra so you can wash a batch at a time instead?

Then, go back through from the perspective of a child that has never seen your kitchen. Do the steps still make sense? How can you make it more simple, less effort? Finally, when I mentioned hand off… How do you ensure that your child laborer is going to deliver a pb&j of sufficient quality? Who determines quality? Production time?

Once you start thinking that way, everything is a process that could be considered, with inputs and outputs, quality control issues, potential waste, efficiency improvements, etc. It applies to data just as much as a sandwich for example, and office jobs are all about taking information, changing it a little and sending it on. Each step should transform in some way (capturing who does what, to what, at each step can help). Understanding the complexity instead of assuming simplicity so you can analyze it, but then distill it back down to something that is actually simple and understandable.

Anyway, hopefully that helps some in thinking about it a little differently.

For googling key words: quality management, process mapping, process analysis, lean, ?

Unfortunately there’s a lot of corporate shit, buzzwords, and SEO that have accumulated so it can by hard to find good info (like everything else now?)

Processes

Super generic, most people interact with them in some form all the time both at work and personal without a second thought. Very few understand what makes a good process, especially when there is a handoff involved.

Oh also communication. Everyone does it so a lot of people must be really good at it right? Yeah…

The corporation formerly known as Facebook also shouldn’t be using the name “Meta”.

I missed it was kg instead of lbs, definitely agree with you in that case.

Yes… You likely had fairly flat and atrophied feet. I’m guessing they were pretty long and narrow, with your big toe extending much further than your little toe. With a more developed arch, foot muscles in general, and not being bound, your foot is probably quite a bit wider with a more square toe box. That square toe box results from your big toe being pulled in.

Also, if you had an issue with water retention before, your feet may just be less swollen now.

Others have mentioned losing fat… Definitely possible but I don’t think you’d see a shoe size drop from that (since it’s more volume loss than length) and I don’t think 40 lbs would have included that much on your feet anyway 🤷‍♂️

Key point not in the article headline but in the article itself: they unionized 2 weeks earlier.
