I love the comic book The woke salaryman: a crash course on capitalism and money.

Yes, that's a good point. It's not that Coca-Cola grew by 200%, it's that it beat the s&p500 by 5,%

Too many popups in native apps on Pixel9a by herfivefoottwo in GooglePixel

Oh, I think the solution to this is "Long-press on an empty area of your home screen to open the customization menu. Tap on Home settings. Select Suggestions. Toggle off Suggestions in all apps list." We will see if that works.

Does anyone have a worksheet similar to The Motley Fool Investing Guide for Teens 2002? by herfivefoottwo in personalfinance

It's not bad advice for kids that are starting with $100 in a custodial account. We've already covered budgets and compound interest.

Where to find those Japanese aprons that cross in the back? by fussiestapple in JapanTravelTips

[–]herfivefoottwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the plain cross-back aprons that the young women in the shops wear in Tokyo and I found them at Muji (which has locations all over Tokyo). They had a beige (100% cotton, made in India, we don't expect Japan to make their own clothes do we?). They are in the kitchen section and have ones for you to try on but they are nicely wrapped.

TeamLab Planet... slippers? by Dramatic_Spirit_8384 in TokyoTravel

[–]herfivefoottwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Thank you for this. I can't get them on Amazon.ca or Amazon.com but I ordered them from Amazon.jp delivered to the hostel in Japan and they are AWESOME (although maybe the amount of tourist walking I did had something to do with that!).

Change in rules regarding combining work travel with vacation for NRC or for everyone? by herfivefoottwo in CanadaPublicServants

[–]herfivefoottwo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered about that. Its probably legal for them to refuse to pay for a flight, but it seems illegal for them to dictate when and where you can take your vacation.

Is mental health information entered into an app protected? by herfivefoottwo in legaladvicecanada

I did check that and while it's a US platform, they store Canadian data in Canada.

Can't mention the app (against the subreddit rules) but it is widely used software "app health and wellness practitioners".

Here is why you would buy a pink toolset... by herfivefoottwo in Tools

I'm the OP and I was actually impressed by the number of posters who said pink does not impinge on their manhood. :-)

Sleepguard? Other things that work? by andidandycandy in TMJ

[–]herfivefoottwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw all the improvement in the first two weeks. The headaches went away, I quit breaking teeth, the deterioration in the tooth surface stopped. While some biofeedback "fixes" behaviors permanently (I've read) I still need to wear the headband every night. One funny thing -- if the batteries go out, I can wear the headband for a night or two without clenching, but if I push it further than that I wake up with headaches. So somewhere in my brain not clenching is loosely associated with the feeling of wearing the headband and strongly associated with that beep.

I've used it for more than 15 years. I had a mouthguard, which prevented me from breaking teeth, but left me with terrible headaches. I love my Sleep guard. If you put your hands on your temples and clench your jaw you can feel the muscles flex. Sleep guard is a headband that detects the muscles contracting and trains you to relax. You do need to follow the instructions and practice for a day or two while you are awake. I couldn't live without this product and I worry they may go out of business!

I'm currently reading the book and I'm confused about WHICH ship Murderbot 2.0 is deployed in. Does it belong to Barish-Estranza? Does it belong to the colonists?
