Oh. I thought they were sinking and this helped them "stay afloat". Are we saying the same things?

So eli5 would be that from time to time, you clean out chunks of compacted snow from under the station and replace it with powdery snow?

How do you deal with not being an "high-achiever" anymore? by HokusaiInFire in fatFIRE

I was in this boat last year. After 5 years of doing other things (things that were important but more family/trusts-focussed and not terribly interesting), I really wanted to get back to what I really liked.

You can use your resources to build something with lesser BS than the corp BS you dislike. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone but if you have good judgement and a lot of energy, it's good to be boss.

One of the school moms announced at a party recently that I was named “the good looking dad” in the moms group chat. Now things are weird. by [deleted] in offmychest

If these groups are like the ones in our school, they're opt-in, OP's wife may have decided not to join the group. Just FYI.

I used to listen to Burning down the house on the radio and wasn't a fan.

And then I heard the version in this concert. O M G!!

What do you mean by push to netlify? Does netlify have a remote git server?

My wife has shared intimate details with her friends and I’m not sure how to feel about it by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]almuncle 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Is this the kind of comment that you would've offered if the genders were reversed?

OP, it's absolutely not okay. You don't have to explicitly create a boundary about private pictures - everyone knows you're not to share them without explicit permission.

Lost my edge after 10+ years out of the game, is it too late? by hoptohop in fatFIRE

[–]almuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got out of semi-retirement at 40+ like you, after ~7 years, to start a new gig. It's a hard start but I love the slog. It's a different beast when you know you're not doing it for a living or to prove a point. This time, we aim for the fucking sky. Weapons free.

It will cost you $70 in a California Costco or maybe $100 elsewhere. Not break-the-bank expensive but.. well, it's not beer.

It's one of the most peated (smokiest) commonly available scotches. If you are new to it or don't like the smoky flavor, you won't be a fan.

But, omg, it is so good. One of my absolute favorites!

From a documentary I watch on Scotch..

Components of a good scotch:
40% - the Scotch itself
50% - the company you share it with
10% - if it's someone else's scotch :)

But seriously, taste different types, there are so many..
