> That works out to 12 hours per day, Monday through Friday

Given that they reverted back to an in-office policy, and given the crazy housing prices, you probably have to factor in ~1h of commute in each direction.

So you basically leave at 7 am, work 8 am to 8 pm, come home at 9 pm, and then maybe say good night to your kids if you are lucky and then rinse and repeat until the weekend. Not sure if/how that's sustainable in terms of productivity.


Wasn't AI supposed to make us more productive so we could work less?

On a more serious note, instead of overloading people on 40-hour contracts, why not hire and train more workers to share the workload?


Why buy more lemons if you can squeeze the lemons you have just a bit harder...


I used to wear sport watch rubber/resin bands (like G-Shocks) but am way more conscious nowadays and opt for metal band watches. At the same time, while I feel like the lawsuit may have a legit point there containing these harmful materials, if you buy a rubber-based wearable, you shouldn't be surprised that it may contain forever chemicals.

Well, those who have been around a few decades do not associate "rubber" and "do not touch". It must be a new thing.


Fair. When I grew up, most bottles were still glass based. Later, when plastic bottles were introduced, it didn't occur to me (or anyone I knew) that those might be harmful etc.

Also, I don't worry about drinking out of plastic bottles occasionally when traveling and when it's convenient. Same with other things (I am typing this on a plastic keyboard, lol). It's all a matter of over-exposure though I think. 30-years ago it felt like 20% of things were plastic. Now it's like 90%.

I am not crazy about avoiding all plastic but sure I think it's kind of common sense to avoid plastic containers for (esp hot) food, etc or things like rubber/plastic wearables that you wear like 24h a day.
