Is Canada a good idea? It's something I'm considering as well as i might have a very tenuous in.

Thanks for the solid info, @OotB

Another semester has ended. Students have rated me an overall of 2.7 on the -3 to 3 scale, and a number of people say I am their favorite prof. This is the intro to econ course. Quite chuffed.

Do you play directly with ETH and why/why not? iirc, its supply if not limited so I'm not sure what appreciation anyone investing in it can count on. Question 1b: from various podcasts, AI is expected to create a high electricity demand in the years to come. Do you see that impacting BTC? If AI is d...

Loving the nickname welcome dude I see zero harm in giving sales a try. Even if it doesn't work out, there's nothing you'll lose. One thing you might want to consider during your period of unemployment, in addition to working on projects you've been wanting to get to and otherwise pursuing your inte...

@delay: Starting w younger Gen X, many parents actually have good relationships with their children. This is due to actually having put thought into improving themselves as people and into actively striving for good parenting. I also have a number of younger friends/acquaintances that are much bette...

Found Kukum in English translation, I'm picking it up
Thanks for the book recs!

Oof, @mfg, that desk picture is like, a personal callout. But yeah, +1 for "stuff management." I wonder if it's coming up for everyone because JnG mentioned it and people went, shit, me too, or whether that's one of the things that naturally comes up for yall higher WLs as you keep ascendi...

achievement focus, I don’t know how to work through it without working through it, ...I don’t know how to approach transcending that focus without, uh, climbing to the next rung of the ladder. :? It's also absolutely possible to get yourself physcially to a place and then go, alright, what are the ...

I read through page 2 of this saga and -- Frita, this marriage is over. Wtf does it matter if you're divorced or not if the marriage is over??? An intuition I had, which I offer in case it's helpful (and which, like everything else I write, you should disregard if it isn't -- what I wrote below came...

Nothing fancy, but I guess it still belongs here: found mint by the side of the road. Had fresh mint tea. Quite enjoyable.

I mean. "So, what seems to be forefront on your mind right now's boring, let's talk about what -I- want to talk about" -- what did you expect???

To me w NVDA the risk isn't NVDA it's the emergence of successful competition, and there's certainly motivation enough to achieve that.

One of the best afterlife goals I've read of. I hope you get your dreams @Henry Also, words cannot describe how deeply I disagree with "we should all pray that the parents manage to stay together until the children finish high school," but I'll leave it to someone else to rant about that o...

Why should there be a middle ground? Imo do the thought experiment and let the chips fall where they may. Fwiw, I don't think there is a double standard with mental/emotional conditions and physical illness. An adult partner is responsible for taking care of themselves physically to the best of thei...

Yeah dude sounds depressed af. Not on you to undepress him, though, one im not sure that's possible, and two im not sure from what you said that that's what he wants. You say you don't believe in divorce, but I get the sense that even though a part of you is holding on, a part of you is ready to let...

it would feel pretty weird to be siphoning off my from my elders I get it that the suggestion overall might not be so workable in your situation, but in case you implement it or something similar, you might want to reframe it from "siphoning off" to "a win-win situation where I get b...

Would the family be willing to chip in some money if you stay on as a caregiver? If your grandpa needs it, 50-100 dollars per person will be much much less than you would have to pay an actual caregiver. Im thinking this gives you 200 pw to eat, gets them off your back, and gets you the time you wan...

It's good that you're thinking about what you want from the time off, tho. Giving yourself the space to reconnect with yourself is good.

Congratulations! You're now ready to begin de-insitutionalizing yourself. You've quit working, you've mopped up some projects you had left over around the house, and you've got to the stage where you're discovering that there is, in fact, no teacher or boss telling you what to do. So what do you do?...
