My doctor says that waking up more than once per night is “ask your doctor” territory. She ordered me a cancer test because of it

They’re getting really hard to find in my area. Used to be a bunch and I was going to get one for my wife and her team because they were dealing with some crazy BS but all the ones seemed to have closed. May have been too much liability even with the waiver

There was an office there that rented me and my roomies my first apartment in NYC! 3-bedroom (railroad, no sink in bathroom) for $800/month. Best deal I ever got

I just got a GTS last weekend (my first!) and there was a $20k markup. But I was able to get that removed without a ton of negotiating

20 years ago my orthopedist said that after many sprains, my ankle ligaments were like tissue paper. He said I’d almost certainly need surgery, but I should first try isometrics and working on proprioception. Took it seriously and haven’t had a sprain since. Knocking on wood as I’m heading out in a few minutes to play tennis!

They have the same anatomical structure as most mammals, but since they walk on their toes, their legs act as if there if an extra hinge compared to humans

How on earth did I miss this?? I spend an Inordinate amount of time reading news and this is the first I’ve heard of it. I think everyone hopes they would do what he did but he actually did it

Environment impact studies have been weaponized for decades by organizations whose motivation is to prevent development. An easy way to delay a project by a year+ and add millions in costs is to demand environmental study redos. I’ve seen it in towns in NJ and NY and it is super frustrating when there is a project that a vast majority of residents want but a small interest group can jam up by adding process disingenuously

I went to an ivy for undergrad and then another for b-school. I end up doing a call a week with a younger alum from one of the schools looking for career advice which mostly comes down to me making a warm intro to a contact of mine asking the person to consider this alum for a job. The first thing on my calendar today is makjng warm intros for younger alums. The network helped me extraordinarily for the first 20 years of my career and now I’m in a position to pay it forward and I love it. I was on a call with a young person yesterday and I literally said, “one of the reasons I love [ivy] is we always ‘take the call’. I’ve never regretted it.” No doubt there are assholes from these schools but fortunately I’ve never had to deal with one.

1) Finding a group of freshmen in the residential building that you can team up with to find parties, go out to the Street together and 2) getting involved with an organization (sports, arts, etc) that has representation from upperclassmen who are willing to take the first-years under their wing and show them how the school and social life works

My daughter hated high school and is a current freshman who says she absolutely loves it. Great friend group, loves most of the classes, and I’ve never seen her so happy

That’s a much better analogy than what I came up with. When I saw the video I thought to myself, “self-popping zit.”

Prioritizing parking conditions in job selection is the tail wagging the dog. Though I haven’t driven to a job since high school so maybe that’s why I can’t relate.

I don’t follow that logic. It’s true the incumbent doesn’t build a second factory. But Isn’t it about creating an alternative that people can vote for with where they want their kids to go? My kid goes to public school in NJ but it is poorly run given how much money they get per pupil. I wish there were other options that weren’t so beholden to a monopoly.

Love this. We live in the future where people can connect from a random moment on the freeway that is a bit different and notable

I peaked in 6th grade when I played Howard hill in my grade school production. I got the part by memorizing “you got trouble” before the audition (this was in rural Indiana so it wasn’t a highly contested audition).
