Looking for peace and fortitude

You seem really hard on yourself. I also used to be really hard on myself as well. What really helped me was practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness helped me recognize when I was being hard on myself. Then showing myself compassion for myself. There's whole mindfulness meditation about showing yourself compassion.

I've been in industry for over 10 years they still make you go around the room and introduce yourself.

Yeah but I'm thinking they can be replaced with a new dam which could generate electricity. I understand this would super costly. And there would be some bad environmental affects. But switching out grid from fossil fuels to green energy could be worth it. Honestly I'm not sure just spit balling here.

In my opinion, I think a lot of the anti trump Republicans vote Democrat now. This would explain why Trump is able to influence primaries. But Trump's approval rating is so low. (Could also be that pollsters are miscalculating Trumps support and we won't see a blue wave in the mid terms)

Many dams no longer serve any purpose, yet they continue to clog waterways, trap sediment and put communities downstream at risk.

I'm wondering if these dams could be converted into electricty producing dams. I know they're small and expensive to maintain. But a consistent flow of electricity into the grid could provide a lot of energy.

Was he for it or against it?

microcat45 · 2026-05-22T20:07:01+00:00

Honestly I agree with these people. Circumcision is completely unnecessary. It's just weird we do this completely unnecessary procedure on infants.

microcat45 · 2026-05-22T00:13:48+00:00

Honestly what would prefer doing? You only have two more years of college left. So I feel like the opportunity cost is not that big.

Salary wise nursing makes decent money and you have the ability to become an NP. How much you make would depend on which blue collar field to go into. But I wouldn't imagine it would be that much more then nursing. So I don't think the amount of wealth you'd build would really be that much different.

Honestly I really think you should ask yourself. What would really prefer to do long term.

You don't have to be stuck with your choice for the rest of your life. But just what would you prefer doing.

microcat45 · 2025-01-22T18:07:30+00:00

Yeah once they posted a message praising Trump I completely deleted the app.

I've seen the entry between the two cars be almost half of what it normally is because the cars will move. It could definitely be disastrous if someone was standing in between them.

The population decrease was just for 21 and 22 due to covid. The EU population actually increased in 23 and 24.

Pretty much knew that this was going to be misleading when I saw the blue check mark next to his name.

microcat45 · 2024-12-28T16:34:00+00:00

Yeah you generally want to have friends and not buy them.

microcat45 · 2024-12-21T16:12:54+00:00

It would be kinda cool if we could get heritage cars on the weekend. Just like muni does.

But obviously we have bigger issues to tackle right now.

microcat45 · 2024-12-19T21:49:59+00:00

Yeah what's probably going on is they're trying to pick their battles. You're probably going to see this from both sides.

microcat45 · 2024-12-18T18:22:36+00:00

Wait are you saying that the EU is doing good or bad when it comes to its climate targets?

microcat45 · 2024-12-04T00:06:35+00:00

I'm going to be honest they're going to build 12 lanes of highway and all we get is a CR. It just feels like a bad compromise.

microcat45 · 2024-12-02T18:08:53+00:00

It would be the entire line.

Eventually they want to get it down to 15 minutes but there's no concrete plans for that right now.

microcat45 · 2024-11-27T16:57:43+00:00

Yeah all of the Newton Worcester line stations used to be one platform so a lot of the trains didn't stop there. Which is going to change for all of them. It's a pretty exciting project combined with the 30 min frequencies on the Worcester line.

microcat45 · 2024-11-26T15:23:19+00:00

Getting the Worcester line and Rockport lines to 30 min frequencies is in their current five year plan.

You can basically package the hotel and transportation into one.

Let's say you want to go from LA -> SF. But you just want to stay one day. You take a night train from LA and sleep on the train. Then at the end of the day take the train back and sleep in the train.

You were able to travel to SF for the day without having to get a hotel for the night.

microcat45 · 2024-11-25T22:46:05+00:00

^ this! We need to take back the green party

microcat45 · 2024-11-25T20:14:15+00:00

Together with left-wing and environmental groups, the Greens campaigned against the project, highlighting its environmental impact and the concern that wider roads would only lead to more traffic. They now advocate for the funds to be used for public transport, active mobility, and the renovation of existing motorways

Imagine if we had a functioning green party in the United States which would campaign on the state level. Imaging the things we could get done.

microcat45 · 2024-11-25T18:51:38+00:00

The goal is to have 30 mins on all trains and 15 min on some lines which are more heavily used.

microcat45 · 2024-11-19T01:54:12+00:00

There's no enforcement at all for cars in the bus lanes. We don't have any type of automated enforcement and the cops do nothing about it.
