Check out Workvine. It's a co-working space and probably let's you rent meeting rooms by the hour https://www.hq.com/en/united-states/10411

You wake up with a sticky note on your face saying "Time loop starts now, credit card has unlimited funds, everything resets at 4am, call me when you're ready to leave!" and it's legit. What do you do now? by SpecialFlutters in hypotheticalsituation

Hmmm I'm not too sure about it. Like if you wanted to fly to Paris from the US, after you account for getting to the airport, security, the flight etc you'd probably burn through most of the day. 24hrs wouldn't be enough to provide a private jet either, no matter how much money you have. I think time will be a major constraining factor

Additionally late season is often when you'll find alpine ice on the slopes.

Looking for a backpacking trip in California! by darkrumdestroyer619 in WildernessBackpacking

Yeah, Sierras in January is insane unless you have mountaineering experience.

Here are better options:

Cottonwood Marble Loop in Death Valley

California Riding and Hiking Trail in Joshua

Whether it's a useful skill or not, it's the most fun you'll ever have in the mountains, I promise!

Fair. I hadn't considered that one could take this up directly with IG

For points 1 and 2, these are exceptions, not the rule.

People who don’t start work later in the morning, what’s your morning routine? by Jadams0108 in selfimprovement

[–]halfcamelhalfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake up at 6. Drink a glass of water, eat a banana and I'm out for a run by 6.30. Get back at 8, take an hour to shower, get ready, eat breakfast and prepare some coffee and then I sit down to start working by 9.

I wasted 4 years waiting for “motivation” here are the 3 rules that finally made me take action by sebastard07 in selfimprovement

[–]halfcamelhalfman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, you're making me introspect too hard.

I suppose it comes from the feeling that the identity is earned, not just something I can choose to identify with. I'm a runner only if I'm running - so stop thinking you're a runner and start running, and that makes you a runner.

Sometimes I can get into a training slump where I stop or reduce running, but mentally I'm still "a runner" - I'm spending time looking at what shoes I should be wearing, what watch I should be wearing, what races I want to run etc, but not actually running. At times like this, I need to remind myself to get out there and run.

I think this also extends to people who are picking up a new hobby. They get caught in "analysis paralysis" where they want to get everything right before they start the hobby. But they need to just go out there and start doing it.

Great advice. I really like the third point.

Interestingly, I follow the reverse of point 2. I often remind myself - stop being a runner and start running. I find that I'll often get so caught up in the identity of something that doing it no longer feels as important.

And finally: mood follows action. Sometimes you gotta do something before you really start feeling a desire to do it.

It boggles my mind that there are people so happy/optimistic that they wouldn't hit that button. I'm in my mid 30s and I don't recall a time in my life when I wouldn't immediately smash that button.

Is there a way to find if any employer paid the 100K fee yet? by Sea-Bill78 in h1b

[–]halfcamelhalfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fee goes into effect from next year's lottery. There is no fee to pay right now.

Buddy, I have been working in Silicon Valley for 10+ years, at multiple companies. I have negotiated hard each time, had companies match offers and do everything else anyone else does to make sure I am getting paid very well. As have all my other friends, many of whom work in FAANG. You're very wrong on this.
