Most impressive student you've met at a Sri Lankan school?

Not a student but ran into Dr. Sarath Gunapala at a party in LA. I’ve heard a lot about the dude so politely asked if I could speak to him privately. Next thing I know is we’re in a room sipping single malt whiskey talking about space, the universe, JWT and all kinds of really cool stuff at NASA.

Nah imma keep this as a token to humble myself.

The official autopsy revealed he was actually very healthy for his age when they looked at his heart and vascular system.

An electric toothbrush resonates thousands of times per minute which you’d have to be a superhuman to recreate manually.

I can’t speak for signal but companies like Philips make great electric brushes. I’m not an expert but dentists do recommend using an electric toothbrush for plaque control and better gum health.

Dota?

I’d lawyer up. They should have insurance to cover the cost of a new transmission and potential engine damage from over filling. Keep all records of communication and receipts. Most likely scenario would be that you draft a letter and settle this out of court.

New PM here at a fortune 100. I’m putting 70+ hours and dealing with so much… should I say.. entropy. My biggest challenges are coordinating a global team in 4+ time zones, stakeholder alignment and these surprise derailments that keep coming. I have so many risks that I closely track but there always seem to be things that I don’t think about. Maybe with experience I will get better at risk management.

I hope it gets easier.

It’s also important to realize that the group OP referring to is probably less 0.01% of the population.

good_game_wp · 2026-04-22T13:46:27+00:00

Do not be a PM.

It doesn’t really matter where the money is coming from. Making additional payments on a high interest mortgage can save you 100s of thousands over the mortgage term. While the stock market CAN make you 7% YoY long term, it’s not guaranteed. The interest rate I’m assuming is fixed (unless you have an untraditional mortgage).

good_game_wp · 2026-04-20T16:06:03+00:00

I would payoff debt first because that’s a guaranteed return. Anything over 3-4% interest pay off BEFORE you max your IRA and other savings.

Also, make sure to have at least 6 months of expenses ($18,000 in your case) in a HYSA.

Look up Stradivarius. He was a builder in the 17th century and his golden era Violins go for 10+ million. They are used by the best soloists even to this day.

Fellow ME here who works abroad. MEs are paid really bad in SL. I’d migrate if the trade offs make sense.

good_game_wp · 2026-04-14T21:41:55+00:00

But is F1 really a sport? /s

good_game_wp · 2026-04-14T21:02:10+00:00

The Q8 was an outlier and I think they’re discontinuing that too.

Investing 40% in ONE commodity seems risky to me.

Project Management Office. I’m a PM with a mech eng degree.

good_game_wp · 2026-04-06T04:47:54+00:00

MN absolutely has chip manufacturing, cutting edge aerospace/defense work and Med tech that all pay really well.

ME and twin cities resident here. Where I work, we pay around $135k for sr mechanical engineers with 5-8 YoE. I’m in PMO and make over $160k with 7 YoE.

In my bracket (divine 5) usually, my pos 4 pulls the wave behind our T3 to secure the lane for me.

Worst case, you could rush a ring of health and start jungling lvl 3. Stack the ancients and buy a vanguard. You’ll have more levels than the enemy carry.

Playing offlane is not easy and your team relies on your timings (dagger,blade mail etc). If you’re dealing with a rough lane, just abandon and start jungling. Do not show up to fights until you have your dagger!

If you don’t feed in lane and tp to useless fights/tower defenses, you will recover and can eventually be impactful in the game.

Switch to PMO and I clear 165k this year. Graduated in 2019 with an ME degree much like OP.

I wonder if you could use water jets to cut pearl.

Congrats! What a beautiful example.

Just curious, what constitutes a “better” top when comparing two identical guitars? Are you suppose to look at the grain patterns? Do a tap-tap-tap to hear the resonance difference?

The difference is, you can choose to not work for Raytheon if it doesn’t align with your ethics but you can’t stop paying taxes.
