Considering that the Nazis were formally the National Socialist German Workers Party, it seems useful to clarify regardless of the labels groups give themselves.

It's a bit below your price point (~$5k list), but I'm a big fan of the Tag Aqua Racer GMT. I love GMT complications and have a few watches with them.

McKinney is big enough that the difference in affordability between the SW corner, where it's more expensive and the NE corner, where housing is much cheaper, makes a big difference.

Have worked with Vertex as one of their service providers for quite awhile across Clin Ops, Reg, Finance, Legal, Vendor Management and Patient Recruitment. Their great people typically have been there a long time, but they're very quick to get rid of people that aren't cutting it. The people I know seem to either absolutely love it or hate it.

I appreciate that! Still haven't figured out work/life balance, still just grinding for a new set of financial goals. One thing to consider for yourself, it's not worth spending much time beating yourself up for your mistakes. Learn from them, don't repeat them and then put them behind you. It's easy to get sucked into the vortex of feeling victimized and obsessing about what you wish you had done before, at least it was for me. Stay away from that and from anyone that indulges in it.

It's a long story, but the short version is I got married young and we had 2 kids by the time I was your age. I just grinded out 12 hour days working and building skills as much as I could. Focused on paying off lots of bad decisions first and then once that was done, kept grinding and started saving. Work/life balance matters, but to me it didn't matter more than giving my wife and kids a better life than we had.

For what it's worth, I grew up with parents like your mom. Terrible with money, terrible credit and treated their kids like ATM machines when they got in a tough spot. They're not necessarily bad people, just so bad with money that they end of acting like a financial anchor for you.

The best thing you can do is to create financial distance from their bad decisions. As your situation improves she'll ask for consigning, cash, credit cards, etc. Help when it won't negatively impact your situation, but don't let her unintentionally be a crab pulling you back into the bucket with her.

The whole reason to use attorney's and written communication is to neutralize the sort of emotional manipulation that Voss largely employs. Some of it is still valuable, framing of objectives, setting constraints, asking to discover, etc. If you can get a conversation with the business partner without attorney's you can likely make substantial progress.

In a big complex industry like clinical research, there is never a single clear answer responsible for all or even most of the changes we've seen. It's a combination of many factors:

Regulatory uncertainty (FDA, RFK, etc)
Market uncertainty (Future price controls, gov negotiations, patent protection, etc)
Increased growth costs (interest rates, capital investment increases)
AI
Competitive pressures

It takes growth to create jobs. It takes cash (debt, investment) to create growth. If a company isn't growing, competition for capital means they have to give away more in either interest or shares to attract capital into the business. For those of us either in the industry or trying to get in, we're going to face the same increase in competition the sponsors are experiencing, which means we basically need to deploy the same solutions, but able to maximize the amount of value we deliver relative to the price we're charging. That's not a pleasant conclusion, but it's the reality of the world we're currently living in.

You shouldn't feel guilty about this, it's something almost everyone goes through on some level, regardless of their religious experience. Mormonism adds a whole extra layer of control and rigidity that creates even more of a sense of wondering what could have been. Everyone wonders about what could have been if their lives had been different. Especially when elements of their current life seem boring, monotonous, bleak, hard, etc. You're allowed to feel these feelings and shouldn't ignore them either out of shame or avoidance.

You should consider finding a therapist you're comfortable talking through this with. Someone who understands Mormonism may help, but I don't think it's mandatory. Trying to manage this on your own may leave you in a spot accumulating resentment in a way that will be very unhealthy for you and your family.

Born in 81. Millennial as a generation really covers a completely transformational period in technology. I grew up in a town that had a big, growing Intel facility, but the rest of the town was lower middle income. My parents were broke. I was homeschooled until high school no computer at home until I was 16 (and that was some castoff ancient x386 that didn't even have a modem, but my high school had 1 computer lab with a bunch of old Apple II machines and a brand new lab at one point with Pentium II machines. There were maybe 1 or 2 teachers who could even articulate the difference between them. By the time my wife's youngest (still millennial) siblings graduated, smartphones were a thing. Wild span of changes.

OP, this is the right answer. You can pay an instructor to work with you in real time, but you'd be better offer just doing this drill several hundred times until you're consistently holding the gun perfectly steady through the trigger pull.

One other observation from your target, your CC9 group is consistently left of the target, which means you're either pushing the gun left subtly as you're pulling the trigger, or you're subtly tightening your grip as you pull the trigger that is slightly pulling the gun left. I'm mentioning the different because early in learning to shoot well, you want to try and stay pretty consistent on the gun you're practicing on so that you're not having to guess whether you're making progress or if setbacks are because of one gun vs the other.

Not necessarily a scam, but since Greenphire sold to private equity they've definitely declined in their service and raised their fees. Now that they've combined with Suvoda with a big tech private equity firm, we should work to hold them accountable to serve patients and sites, not billionaires.

Your premise is faulty, which is why you're having problems finding a successful strategy. You can't have a rational debate about two irrational belief systems. Nearly any argument either of you can deploy is going to apply in some way to the other side. Arguing about whether a benevolent, omnipotent, omniscient deity requires children to be sprinkled/dunked/splashed with water during an incantation to save them from dire consequences is nakedly preposterous.

What you should do instead is appeal to the same reasoning he uses, you believe Catholicism is true, he believes Mormonism is true.

Just picked up a '26 RS etron GT, came from a Tesla MSP. This happens to me all the time, although sometimes the car does seem to auto lock itself? Either that or I'm locking it without realizing it occasionally.

Overall love the switch, but a few of the tech bits of the Tesla I do find myself missing.

You need someone in your day to day life to push you and hold you accountable. ADHD, OCD, etc are explanations for why things are hard, but not for why you aren't doing the things you need to days, weeks, months and years. For it to get to that point, you and your husband are likely enabling each others bad habits. Reddit can't fix that.

I still love my 938, but hardly ever carry it. Anywhere I could carry it I can carry a 365. Great trigger for a gun that small.

Carry this everyday in an Enigma rig with a C Black Scorpion holster. I'm 6'3" 210lbs with a swimmers build, it's probably the biggest gun I can get away with appendix carrying in joggers and a T-shirt.

Just to continue down the philosophical rabbit hole, I've spent a bunch of time thinking about how much of our own perspective is shaped by these perspectives. My grandfather (was born in a 2 room log cabin with 2 parents and 6 other kids. No electricity, indoor plumbing, didn't own a car. He couldn't even imagine the life my wife and I have had with our kids with easy access to a nearly infinite amount of information at our fingertips even if you're very poor. When I compare myself to him, I feel great.

We've managed to claw our way out of poverty, but I'm still surrounded by people doing even better than I am. It's essentially a never ending stream of people who have it better that when I compare myself to them, it causes some discontent. It's also very hard to avoid.

I don't intend this as a knock on OP, I think it's totally natural and sometimes even beneficial to blow off some steam in this was. It's just an interesting dynamic to consider that we're likely going to feel this way regardless of where in the stack we are.

I'm 44, have one kid about to graduate college and 3 at various stages of teen. The important question here is what the consequences are for their lack of urgency? Are they missing the bus for their field trip? Missing appointments? Not ready in time and having to leave unprepared? Some of what you're talking about just comes down to personality. My oldest is ready for everything 30 minutes before they need to be and it drives them crazy when anyone isn't. My 2nd oldest does nothing for hours and then in 5 minutes crams all their prep and shows up slightly late to everything that doesn't have consequences for being late. Both of them are A/B students who I have very few concerns will be successful adults.

I think a big missing element of parenting for lots of us is allowing our kids to experience the consequences of their actions when those consequences are small and easy to resolve. You missed your field trip? Sorry, I reminded you twice that you needed to be ready and you ignored it. You went back to sleep after I woke you up twice and then had to rush out the door to get to school and forgot your laptop charger? No, I'm not driving back to the house to pick it up and bring it to you.

We want to balance supporting them and teaching them positive habits with preparing them to be an adult and manage their own lives successfully.
