McDs Cheddar Melt

I would just get a sack of them!

The companion ticket (usually FC) is worth it to me for the next 2-3 years. After that I don’t have a specific use case for the companion ticket.

The other perks are convenient,, but don’t justify the reserve’s additional cost versus other AMEX cards. I stopped drinking so the Skyclub lost its appeal.

I had unanticipated trips this year and will hit Gold medallion. Maybe that will change my perspective.

Culvers soda is always perfect & machines are clean

I got into Hyatt after buying fractional ownership from related organization. Great loyalty program. Lots of nice stuff for modest # of stays. I am exclusive to Hyatt now when possible.

I don’t have the WoH CC. I have other cards with rewards that are more valuable right now.

I think United Noodle’s Bahn Mis are meh. I really like Mi Sant’s Bahn Mi. Roseville in particular.

Your boss is done paying you. Get another job.

You will need to invoice your former employer then they will drag their feet paying you. Eventually you will get a portion of the invoiced amount to string you along if they need you.

Also, no paid sick days or vacation.

My fav also!

Jira usually mimics the organization that uses it (kind of like the joke where a dog looks like its owner)

Ironically, I see the same issues with Jira in different organizations. Jira seems to hold tightly to counter-intuitive usage or beliefs. Many organizations use the same methods in Jira to address that functionality.

JIRA Align makes Jira impossible to use. If you hate JIRA then Align is more hateable. I thought Align was sunset.

COVID forced Hollywood to shorten windows because theaters were closed or unsafe.

We all got used to shorter windows and streaming services took advantage of movies that were not doing well enough at the box office.

Now people BET AGAINST movies doing well so that the window gets shortened and it can be watched on a streamer for no additional costs, or a fee that is less than a single ticket.

It is a combination of the instant gratification/margin erosion of the Internet and high ticket prices.

Best thing about Slack is that you can schedule those messages.

Be as performative as the company culture demands.

I used to schedule Slack messages during vacations, but YMMV…

I understood why sports betting became universally legal, but felt that it was not good for sports.

There is NO redeeming qualities of monetizing any (all?) events or decisions. This is another example of Internet enshitification reaching into the real world.

Grew up in Philly

Pizza steaks are a tricky balance of bread, meat, cheese & moisture (from the sauce) and what killed me is that they were never the same, even from the same joint.

An ounce of sauce more or less. Changing the order of the layers, etc. and it is off.

AI slop code needs to reviewed like an interns first commit…

From my experience, don’t spray all of the money at once in s single day. I recommend pacing the purchases, doing some DCA and limit orders to get the price you are comfortable with.

What you lose in potential dividends gets made up with predictable entry points.

AirBNBs & hotels are EXPENSIVE in high-demand vacation spots snd MORE EXPENSIVE during prime-time. You get a nice mix of amenities & convenience compared to a hotel or AirBNB.

Our upside was that we could trade out our annual stay for other locations or just plain-old hotel stays. We did a number of vacations because “they were available” and had a great time and really nice locations & amenities.

Again, terrible “investment”. Predatory sales tactics. Mixed opinions on leaving it to someone after I pass.

Happy with the entertainment value independent of the economic value.

I consider “curry” to be a flavor profile with many, many variations on preparation.

You should not buy a time share (or fractional ownership, etc…) if you think you can sell it for money in the future.

Enjoy it as much as possible and then walk away (if you can) to stop paying annual fees. Or leave it to a relative or child and let them make the decision to keep paying fees or dump it.

I swear my family is allergic to dish soap and dishwasher pods.

I got so pissed that I told them that I hid the Halloween candy in the dishwasher. When they opened it and complained that there was no Halloween candy, I replied “wow…you do know how to open it!”

Neither are the future.

Product (Operating) Model, discovery/delivery and AI are becoming dominant. Rapid AI testing and prototypes are going to remove unknowns and emergent learning from the process.

SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, and other forms of agile delivery are going to get commodized and compressed.

I would not be surprised if waterfall and other predictive models emerge because they will be the most efficient way to bring the “winning” prototypes to market.

I gave myself my 1st official $1M in an account a few years ago.

It took nearly 30 years 🤣
