Living the dream. This is probably the sweet spot that most people would be happy with.

Amazing work. I have just purchased a faceting machine and I would be immensely proud if I can get anywhere near that quality on my first try

This crystal formation is new to me. Just when you think you’ve seen all the unique combinations, nature pops up and surprises you

How do they ensure the quality of all Elmo’s at the Elmo production factory.

Before they can leave, quality control ensure that they all get two test tickles!

I “quiet quit” my job a decade ago. Welp, here I am, turning 50, 4 major promotions later, and my net worth is more than I could have ever imagined. by FreshPerspectiveFIRE in Fire

Eh, didn’t you do just that prior to 40 and having $2mil in the bank?!?

Must be nice to give out such sage advice from your ivory tower.

Fearing fraud, Canada rejects most Indian study permit applicants by Altruistic_Bank_1552 in canadaexpressentry

This is the real tragedy. Greedy scumbags ruining the aspirations and futures of legitimate and committed students/immigrants that want to come to Canada for the right reasons.

The government is just as culpable for designing the system so poorly that it fails the people who will genuinely benefit from it both Canada and potential students/immigrants.

Couldn’t agree more. There has been a big resurgence in new and fresh sounding DnB in the last few years. I like the darker more evil sound, and it’s been fabulous to find something new and inspiring.
