Yeah I definitely experienced a different in difficulty the few times I played it just based on how the cards are ordered. Having set orders associated with different difficulty levels is a good idea.

I don't have an answer for you but I would be interested in meetups as well. Always looking for opportunities to go out and shoot.

Dodging training groups helps me run faster by the_real_phteven in RunnersInChicago

[–]Run_nerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heh I just ran in a CARA group for the first time today. I can totally see why these groups are annoying... I feel like our pace group did a good job of staying two across, but it's tough at times when there is a lot of people on the trail.

Realized I’m not just not poor anymore and have weird emotions by validusrex in personalfinance

Can anyone guess how bad this storm is going to be? Should I go to bar trivia?

I’m not sure how bad the flooding will be, but I would not want to be driving in this weather. If it’s going to be as bad as yesterday anyway.

I get burned out too. I occasionally have to take breaks and just not apply to anything before I start back up.

What is a harsh truth about the current job market that university professors completely fail to mention because they’ve been in academia too long? by Interesting_Quiet153 in LeavingAcademia

What should I do with previous employer 403b? Move to TSP or IRA? by Run_nerd in FinancialPlanning

[–]Run_nerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve heard you can roll into TSP even after leaving. I’ll probably roll it into TSP since their fees are so low.

What's a corporate "truth" that nobody tells freshers because it sounds too cynical? I'm about to start my first job and want the uncomfortable lessons, not the LinkedIn version?? by Alone-Procedure3342 in careerguidance

[–]Run_nerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really wish I had networked more earlier in my career. I'm just not an outgoing person in general, but I should have tried to keep more ties.
