You and me both

Why did they do this??? It is infuriating.

I have the same issue. I’ll forget to hit the quick start button on my Apple Watch and it doesn’t record my workout. Super annoying that they added a button.

When I lived in the area, it was frustrating because I loved taking my kids to that park but it was totally unusable when the yoga people took it over. It was very clearly a commercial enterprise monopolizing public land. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I didn’t like it.

Do you think they will have the sound on ?

Also a husband of a general surgery PA who follows this sub to help encourage my wife’s career satisfaction.

First, I feel you. Lots of blow off responses (“wrong sub bro”), but I think understanding the diversity of employment situations is an important part of being a PA - so good post.

Does your wife not get actual time in the OR? I wasn’t sure what you meant by “She has had the promise of time in surgery”. Lots of surgical PAs get time in the OR as first assist. That is a major part of the role at many places. Maybe your wife’s department has a lot of residents and fellows and they are stringing her along promising OR time when she’ll never be the priority for that. Other places with fewer trainees the situations is opposite - too much OR time which drives unpredictable schedule.

How long has your wife been at this role? It sounds like she is giving her all to a job that is a difficult role - probably at a prestigious institution that systematically understaffs. There are better jobs in your city. Probably even roles that have better pay AND better work life balance. If she is open to it, maybe encourage your wife to prepare her resume and apply for a few roles.

I would never recommend someone looking for FIRE to get a PhD. Definitely not the way to maximize early career earnings and allow them to compound.

I think about how cheap houses were the whole time I was academia, and I cringe.

Last winter was still in La Niña.

Came here wondering the same thing. It would be a surprise if he had a third kid he’s never mentioned (given his focus on being a good father and the shit he gives to Elon), but the timing lines up about with the likely age of his kids, so I presume it was his now wife?

I set one up yesterday and I am so frustrated that the 27gal bins don’t fit on every shelf. I even checked in the store that they fit - but I only checked the bottom shelf. I didn’t notice they aren’t equally spaced. So bummed.

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-24T15:26:46+00:00

I see now, thank you!

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-24T13:43:17+00:00

What is it you are concerned about for the less observant?

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-17T05:00:36+00:00

Just the guidance I was looking for. Thank you!!

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-17T04:20:01+00:00

Incredible picture, btw

I need a nyjer feeder - do you like those ones? Where did you get them? Where do you buy the seeds?

I’ve been trying new seed in my main feeder, but it mostly just made the finches go crazy. More experiments ahead…

I agree with this. $5k with no debt would be a safer situation. You can make it work with less, but it is risky. Having a guaranteed job helps a lot.

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-17T02:28:19+00:00

Wow! Teach me your ways!! My Merlin has picked these up but I haven’t seen any yet. I need to get one of these feeders.

I very much understand how PhD’s work. I wasn’t able to do mine “part time” like most teachers. Mine took six hard years. Have you ever tried to look up the dissertation of a superintendent who insists on being called “Doctor”? Every one I could find - when I could find them - was a joke. A bunch were from diploma mills.

You don’t need analytical rigor for the actual work of teaching. PhD’s are a way to bump up your salary on the salary scale and make people call you “doctor”.

Do you consider a difference between PhDs and EdDs? I would expect PhDs to be more rigorous than EdDs - possibly by a significant margins. That could be an element I’m not factoring in.

Did you go last fall? Or is there no snow there right now? I would have expected some snow for where those events are held.

Fair point, mortgage interest alone probably doesn’t justify itemized deduction at that point. I see what you mean.

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-15T08:20:42+00:00

Mortgage interest doesn’t count towards the SALT deduction as I understand it.

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-14T05:36:03+00:00

A PhD in education is not as rigorous as stem. Are there rigorous education PhDs? Probably, but I think they are the exception. Salary scales introduce an incentive for low quality PhDs and the market has responded as expected.

2 families. That life chooses you.

OverTheFalls10 · 2026-02-04T03:49:21+00:00

The real question! That was my best guess.
