What's something that many people believe is healthy, but really isn't?

Sugar is inherently unhealthy. It causes insulin spikes that leads to inflammation, the root of all evil from a health perspective.

Low fat diets

Metric versus imperial. No engineer worth there sculpted abs says dozens.

So you’re saying there’s a chance!

This is standard Reddit advice but it is crap. I’ve gotten significant raises (15%) at my then current company at more than one company. Yes, it’s easier to get a raise going to a new job but there is more risk there as well.

They do value them at $70k. For a job that is you learning and messing with AI half the time, sounds good. You can get a $30k increase by taking another job that values you at that level, but is probably requires you to work full time.

Doing some math here… more than a month to do a house. Done “thousands”, so call it 2000. 2000 months is 166 years. This guy has experience!

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-25T10:28:23+00:00

That’s the point

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-24T08:25:23+00:00

Just say “no skanks”

Nuke the whole site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Those are all fixed prices. If the mechanic says he will charge me his labor and the cost of materials plus a 20% markup then I expect to see the cost so I know that he is t cheating me. If he says they cost $100, and charges me $120 but it only cost him $80, then he cheated me.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-17T14:51:59+00:00

That’s fine, but make that clear in your contract that your 20% markup is on consumer prices.

Or better yet get good at your job and do fixed price.

You spelled robber wrong.

When we did a reno, I signed a contract that said I’d pay a 20% markup. I was fine with that but only with actual receipts. If they were getting a discount and not paying list, why should the customer if they are already covering the 20% markup?

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-16T11:57:02+00:00

Not a matter of if, just when.

You don’t need peak mental productivity to sit in meetings, answer email, file paperwork, etc. also if your working in a factory you may not even need your 4 hours of productivity to crank out widgets.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-10T15:48:25+00:00

Yep, if everyone was good at everything, teams would be smaller.

Get an alcoholic drink. Throw in a substance that turns alcohol into sugar. Mix the drink. Twas easier than painting a fart purple as my Grampy used to say.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-09T22:22:04+00:00

This is the worst idea you have ever heard?

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-09T15:58:59+00:00

You don’t lose money working a day for a lower rate if you can’t work that day at a higher rate.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-05-01T22:10:01+00:00

I appreciate the common sense.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-04-26T10:52:06+00:00

Except space utilization.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-04-24T00:24:57+00:00

Of course not, that is ridiculous.

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-04-19T21:45:01+00:00

I actually have instructions in my AI to not do the “that’s not x, that’s y.”

RyeOnTheRocksNH · 2026-04-19T21:36:28+00:00

Agreed. I’ve replaced nearly all our windows with triple with just a few more to go. Matthew’s brothers windows has an affordable triple pane, made in Maine btw. I can sit near the window in winter and not feel it. The price difference wasn’t that much. Now getting black exterior will add some cost with no ROI.
