Just because you do not get any benefit from watching athletes excel does not mean it is devoid of substance. I find it inspiring to watch someone do something that they have spent years working to achieve. Seeing them do the “impossible” through hard work and dedication is a great moment.
If you can be a manager of one [1], then absolutely, yes. If not, then I can imagine it being really frustrating a lot of times.
Based on my past work experience, working at GitLab is more similar to being a freelancer in terms of freedom and flexibility - with all the benefits of being an employee (professional community, job security, etc.) too.
I don't really know what you mean by that. Yes, the salaries are tied to locations [1]. But I get compensated well above the average compared to doing the same job at other companies (including international ones) in my country (Austria).
Or fastenal, they have saved me a few times with odd requirements. Between McMaster, Fastenal, or even Grainger you should be able to find plenty of whatever you need.
I recommend it fully! I learned to play at 32 and I am having a blast. Still some risk, but my local league is very laid back and we run very safe games. Being kitted out in protective gear really does make a difference in preventing injuries.
Check and see if your local rink has an intro to hockey class and use that to get a feel for hockey.
Of all the hockey injuries, this one rates pretty low for adult beer league if you just wear a cage. Wearing a full face cage reduces the risk of losing teeth to almost 0% chance of happening.
Hockey does have risks of course, but playing in a non checking league takes the risk down to manageable levels in my opinion.
Kitchen rat from 16-27 years old, worked shitty dives to fine dining. Realized working kitchens is not healthy or profitable long term so I made my hobby (tech) my career. Overall it was a great decision, but I still deeply miss the kitchen. If I could have a sense of normalcy and decent pay I would strongly consider going back to the line.
The posters point was that crossovers are not true SUV’s, they are built on a sedan frame not a truck frame. It is pretty great when compared to the 20mpg average of a Tacoma truck.
Hybrids are great, but it is sidestepping the point that the poster was trying to make.
How effective is telling people that? In what way is it different than what we've been telling people for decades? When would you estimate it will start being effective to tell people to put in the work and discipline? How many more decades?
Or maybe we should do something that works in reality for real groups of people.
For people with addiction problems, they can't. Addicts have this problem where they can't. They're sitting there thinking don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, and then what happens is they go and do the thing. They're unable to do that work and discipline because they are not tall enough.
And both things are true. Both parties do various bad things, and their supporters hide behind the "well the other guy is bad too!" argument. The best candidate is the one who has the lowest expected badness; and yes, their chosen party membership is a valid and at least somewhat-informative prior on badness, depending on your personal badness disutility function.
