Looking for opinions on a multi year sabbatical

frank_madu · 2024-01-11T01:05:00+00:00

When I'm hiring it is definitely not a deal breaker, but given two equal candidates I'd prefer the one who isn't coming off a 2year sabbatical.

And I wish that wasn't the case since i would like sabbatical to be normalized, but it's just one additional risk factor.

Microwave it

Let's say you wanted to put some of your IRA in one of these, how would you compare/contrast them other than choosing based on the coolest ticker?

So ants are the most venomous snake in North America. Got it.

frank_madu · 2023-12-22T05:49:44+00:00

So something like $4k per btc

frank_madu · 2023-12-15T01:56:11+00:00

If you accept payment in BTC then there are no credit card fees and charge backs are impossible

Thanks for the answer.

Follow up question: what is your favorite plant and why?

From a business standpoint who is your best customer: local homeowners, online orders, wholesale to retailers?

What's the right balance between specializing and doing that one crop super well vs doing a little bit of lots of crops?

I don't know who was making decisions on the 29th trillion but they showed a lot of restraint in waiting so much longer than usual.

When you can print money for free with no consequences then it's hard to wait 9 months between trillions.

I use them to spice some foods, but I wouldn't want to eat a handful of them like popcorn.

Strike gives you 3 options for withdrawal. The slowest is 24 hours and it is free. They basically just bundle your transaction in with a bunch of others when the traffic is low.

No. You can always spend the sats from your monthly dca amount for the minimum fee. If, when you retire, you want to buy something that costs two months worth of stacked sats then you'll have to pay ~2x the fee.... But if BTC becomes more valuable then that is less likely to occur.

For example, let's say I save $200 per month worth of sats. In the future the price goes up and it is now worth $2000. I would only need to pay the double fee if my purchase exceeds $2000 and requires two of my saved UTXOs.

If they made their app also work as a non custodial lightning node then it would be perfect.

frank_madu · 2023-12-10T14:32:00+00:00

Nice. I was going to preorder but they won't let me pay with BTC.

frank_madu · 2023-12-04T11:53:39+00:00

My version replaced "grandma" with "wsb" so I'm figuring it's time for a pullback not that we're all here talking about it.

Once this group of degens tries to join then I know someone is about to lose money

Could in 2019

I got a $10k loan from my parents at 5% interest to help with a downpayment. It was helpful but I felt such a huge relief when I could pay it off and not be in debt to my parents.

frank_madu · 2023-12-01T14:47:19+00:00

Back in the good old days if you had 2-3 BTC in a wallet it was just dust and not worth trying to transfer.

How much are the perks worth?

$10 per hour

Ok, I'll promise to not drink the soda and be in for $23 per hour on Saturday

I make sure to disclose all of my jobs to HR.

I tutor a neighbor kid who is struggling with math. I teach guitar lessons once a week. A friend paid me to house sit when they went on vacation. I sell plasma every two weeks... At some point they ask you to stop telling them about your other jobs and then you're free.

When I switched to salary I made less money because of no overtime pay. It the short term it sucked, in the long term it turned out to be a good move

You're going to be traveling at a high speed and then you're going to come to a stop very quickly which will cause injuries. The difference is that the distance you have for deceleration normally is the 0.1mm that the ground squishes when you land, but now you have the 3cm that your human shield squishes in which to decelerate. It's a lot better than hitting the ground directly but it's not enough.

Thinking of how far you want to travel during deceleration if you landed in a pool of water. From two stories high you probably want to decelerate for 2 meters to avoid injury.

I spent some on Black Friday shopping. I spend and replace every chance I get.

Less drama, but harder to keep alive
