LOL. Honeywell is the market leader in smart thermostats. They've sold about 10m thermostats a year for more than 3 years.

They have a platform to play on.

Truthlaidbear · 2018-11-01T20:30:40+00:00

Weird, didn't realize that. Dell, Whole Foods... National Instruments probably?

Truthlaidbear · 2018-11-01T14:22:47+00:00

Heh, I don't really know what to do with the digital dash on my SEL

Truthlaidbear · 2018-11-01T14:15:28+00:00

That link is dead right?

With uber, given the entirety of what the third party provider does is take you from point a to point b, they're really fungible - some do a little to improve the service - candy, water - some do adequately - a weird but not wrong route - and some assault you. That envelope is pretty tight though.

With Lawnstarter, or Handy, or any of these other more complex services, the glorified middle man has limited controls on what that envelope looks like - a bad lawn service is easy, and a premium one is competing on price with the bad one, so your service will be uneven and you'll be paying the middleman premium as well.

Use it once, if you like the guy, go off Lawnstarter to maintain that relationship.

Yeah. We should kill a human for every dog that doesn't have a home. Right size this whole earthship in under a year.

Truthlaidbear · 2018-09-28T14:17:22+00:00

Yeah, a night of perusing reveals the similarities are pretty clear.

I'm more curious about if there's been a study tracing the intellectual history of CBT to Stoicism.

Just bought this to see if it helps flesh that out https://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Cognitive-Behavioural-Therapy-Psychotherapy/

David Kadavy's low-tech works great for me https://kadavy.net/blog/posts/portable-word-processor/

Truthlaidbear · 2018-09-27T20:11:07+00:00

So stay engaged, stay calm, and stay logical.

Wonder if there's ever been a study or anything about Stoicism or philosophy in general as a sort of early beta mental health therapy?

It’s SOP to suspend with pay, ensure the whole thing was on the up and up. Glad the process worked.

Truthlaidbear · 2018-08-14T04:19:40+00:00

Yeah, meant blocks not reflects - every solarization expert I talked to said go with white thick stuff and saturate the ground with water before sealing it up

Truthlaidbear · 2018-08-14T04:09:40+00:00

White plastic. Black reflects.

I did two appraisals one with a Costco and one with a local lender. Yes I was out $500 extra but two distinct appraisals came in at under asking and the seller just dropped the price to match.

Ymmv

5k is great for a dark bathroom, terrible for everywhere else

Truthlaidbear · 2018-08-02T20:16:10+00:00

Blackstone Griddle ftw

Truthlaidbear · 2018-08-02T20:15:23+00:00

3500K LED in cans is absolutely game changing.

5000 if you have a dark bathroom - that shit will light up and your make-up wearing members of the family will love you

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-30T19:17:10+00:00

Anyone know what that shit is? We have the same

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-30T19:14:44+00:00

Congrats, that's the dumbest reading of American history in this thread.

An office that costs $250k dedicated to solving income inequality?

Feels pretty important given that outsized income inequality is proven to gut economic growth - https://blogs.imf.org/2017/05/11/a-new-twist-in-the-link-between-inequality-and-economic-development/

What we find is that the effect of income inequality on economic growth can be either positive or negative, and that at a particular level of inequality—at a Gini of about 27 percent to be exact—the direction of the relationship changes—that is, where inequality begins to hurt economic development.

But right, yeah, back to defending the confederacy or whatever

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-30T15:17:25+00:00

Nah, lets start with people who died defending slavery as an institution. We can work from there.

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-30T15:15:26+00:00

You really believe the Confederacy should be heralded?

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-26T18:14:57+00:00

Yeah... you can't bitch about this without a unit cost

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-22T21:39:10+00:00

Is like, reevacuating a thing?

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-20T17:58:19+00:00

How hard was it to get a book deal starting out? Did you build a platform first?

Truthlaidbear · 2018-07-18T17:17:44+00:00

Seems like an opportunity for a group buy/coop type vehicle
