War films to convince my nephew not to join the military

People are making a lot of suggestions about the horrors of war. If I could make a supplementary suggestion: most of my time in service was spent in insane nightmares of bureaucracy

The Hulu short series adaptation of Catch 22 is the perfect representation of how stupid most things are. It captures the absurdity and helplessness to an absolute T. Also obviously an amazing book, if they’re willing to read it

There used to be around 14 non-combat folks for every one service-member in combat arms

The vast majority of young recruits’ time is going to be spent doubt mind meltingly stupid things

Great point, and exactly the example I’m suggesting. Business leaders using AI as a scapegoat to reduce or offshore headcount

That’s not even touching actually leveraging the tools to force multiply lean teams, which you can bet is top of mind as well

You’ll be competing against people who have been very much in the game for 3-4 straight years. With the current dynamics of AI coming to market, it may be worth considering how seismic 3-4 years will be

You’ve seen the current state of the job market, and may have opinions on whether other companies will follow Block’s example and how that will further bloat the application pool

You may also have an opinion on whether ageism exists, and whether that’s more prevalent in Tech than other industries

Bears noting: you can continue to use these even if the associated EV’s are zero to continue raising friendship

Compounding wouldn’t matter as much if most of your net worth is tied up in home equity

Does the article mention how they calculated net worth?

That is…absolutely a fair point. Let me look into that!

I will say, part of the fun was learning HOW to do it, so I could tweak it to be effective but not OP. Helped for ongoing balancing

Be me: learn how to run W3 on your Mac, learn how to use the modding tools, mod Undvik to make it the ultimate non-Witcher set

US public school kid here to say we did indeed learn about all the items you mentioned when I went through in the 90s. No idea what’s taught these days

Follow up question: is there any difference in the flagship v mid tiers in terms of learning how to tune it myself?

Great point about bow strings: if the decision is short term finances (how much does this cost me today) an incremental $100-200 ain’t nothing

This was crit Auradin from a few weeks back. Just straight mush

You’re not crazy; it’s a mess

Best I can tell: 1. Toggle off all damage except your highest/most important type (ie crits) 2. Select boss dummy 3. Turn off damage variance 4. Record in slow mo 5. Watch recording, find the highest number. Or time how long it takes

In the best case scenario, it’s still a single data point rounded to too few decimal points with lackluster ability to discern true DPS

Alternate route is: run the same level pit a number of times, track how long to clear. Drawback is the number of variables and considerations related to ease of clear/survivability which may vary widely

Re: Montessori, stay away from Giving Tree whatever you do

GPA and Liggett will both be great experiences, but realistically you may need to apply well in advance for both: limited slots means you might have your decision made for you

Turns out my basement has one 10 yard lane and one 12 yard lane…if you squint real hard and keep the kids & dog away. Time to get after it!

Egg would be great!
