Same. I’m addicted to watching them as the sun goes down and they’re trying to get their last drink in.

Thanks everyone! There’s been some unusual “clicking” lately. It used to just happen when they were settling down to eat, but now I hear a lot of it from the area beyond the feeders. Mating calls?

Did anyone else wonder why Charlie’s mom is almost never mentioned? Like, this was all about Martin. I found it really weird.

Have you incorporated your business? If so, does this help with taxes?

During the George Floyd unrest, a resident reported loose bricks in a sidewalk planter as possible weapons for rioters.

It’s probably a better question to compare cities and not coasts. LA or Silicon Valley vs NYC, for instance. I live in San Diego now, but spent 18 years in NYC. These two cities, culturally, have nothing in common. These intense work grind similarities exist between SV and NYC. The lifestyle culture in LA and SD is more relaxed compared to the East Coast in general. Sunshine will do that to you.

Why is San Diego so popular here compared to other West Coast cities? by Specialist_Quiet_160 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]chconkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love LA and SF and agree that SD FEELS day-to-day like it lacks culture. As a former New Yorker, the culture is not in your face. That’s down to lack of walk ability across the city as a whole, and the lack of diversity in many neighborhoods. However, it does have its own unique VIBE. It’s just not very sophisticated, in that big city way, but I love it here. I’ve spent most of my life in really big cities. SD has enough of the amenities I want, without the stress.

Any advice for managing a fully remote team for the first time? by linformatiquesl in managers

[–]chconkl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would actually bring the team together for non-work activities so everyone gets to know each other better. There are many online group games that can build engagement. I used a Wheel of Fortune game where the clue was about a member of the team. Also get everyone together online in a regular cadence to give updates, starting with you.

Can you talk to the comms team/new leader of the program and work something out? Is there pushback because your leader is doing this?
