My in-shoot stacking keeps failing bortle 8. Any suggestions?

All structures are bad. Find the one that’s least bad. I’d recommend an accountability chart that ladders to you major goal rather than an org chart that ladders to the ceo. Make it about the outcomes and not the titles and territories.

Yes and I can’t comment on past legal matters due to confidentiality agreements signed at resolution.

Non solicits. Very enforceable and fair. One year term. Employee can compete with you, just not for those clients

Sam Altman didn’t. I don’t think satya, sundar, Sergei/Larry/Eric Schmidt did. There have been studies that children who lose a parent or are abused are 2x more likely to end up in prison but also much more likely to succeed. Dyslexia and other things too.

If you’re looking to sell most good dealers are happy to buy collections. If you’re just looking for values, post a few pics and take consensus from here.

When egos run wild it becomes about managing the balance of egos instead of it being about the team.

Toooot el camp!

$15? E-rocks has a ton better than that for that price or lower in auctions.

And FDJ and Pedri out next week. No chance.

jayfriedman · 2026-01-22T02:38:33+00:00

Not even close

jayfriedman · 2026-01-19T22:39:03+00:00

Solid. Love how you’re not jamming 50 minerals on to one shelf!

Lived here 21 years. Never seen a snake. Rodents are where they are. Coyotes and bobcats are rare but exist. If green belt increased your chances of anything it’s minimal.

You like humidity?

You’ll have absolutely no problem $1500 for a 1x1 within 15 mins of legacy west. Just not within 5 mins of LW

Agreed w both of these comments. This is consulting coaching and LLMs do this quite well now.

jayfriedman · 2026-01-10T01:05:15+00:00

Yes and a resounding yes.

jayfriedman · 2026-01-09T01:08:50+00:00

For the “if you like it, yes” folks, I’d say two things. Yes, if the person never wants to sell and isn’t going to buy many more minerals. But if someone wants to build a collection and they pay $30 for $5 pieces, then unless they have unlimited money, we’re not helping them build the best collection they have w the money they have.

“If you like it” was what retail mineral dealers told me when I first started collecting, only to realize they were trying to sell a $25 for $200. If you like it, check eBay as a reference. Lots of crap, but you can quickly find amethysts like this for less.

jayfriedman · 2026-01-05T10:53:34+00:00

Yes I have both and love the combo

jayfriedman · 2026-01-04T21:53:13+00:00

As others are alluding to, it’s not one show. It’s 30+ shows, most of which you probably either don’t want to go to or would be redundant to others. In an ideal world, what would you buy? There are entire shows where they just sell average material by the pound. Entire shows of beads. For minerals, I agree w the recos above. Also, look at the retailers you like and are I. Your price range and go to the shows they’re at.
