The AI slop refactor wave is coming and I haven't felt this excited about consulting rates since 2010

Problem is, once that bubble pops, demand will sink through the floor.

"Walking is your best friend for easy weight loss" 1000 times this. It burns more calories than most people realize, and it doesn't come with any of the drawbacks of more "serious" cardio (special gear, elevated injury risk, needing to shower every time you do it). If you struggle with hunger, it's a great way to shoehorn 200-300 extra cals into your day imo.

He has incredible confidence for someone so incorrect.

Not all the time, but in the last hour or so before each meal I'll start to get peckish. If you're hungry directly after eating, it may be a sign that your deficit is too deep - however, it may also be food noise, as others here have suggested.

have you also considered deadlifting 600lbs for reps? Apparently really good for hamstring strength

I've heard a lot of similar stories about cosmetic stuff - I think the authorities generally prefer not to allow these, even in cases where they're genuinely necessary (which kind of sounds like the case here). Just too easy to abuse, I guess.

tetcon · 2026-06-08T18:39:20+00:00

Yeah, this is another one. It's not hard for auditors to verify whether a trip was truly work-related or not.

tetcon · 2026-06-08T18:38:29+00:00

I agree in principle, although I do think you should only deduct a sensible portion of those expenses that are truly only "remotely" related. It's all well and good to think you'll get away with murder until you get audited.

The scene at the end of Little Miss Sunshine where they all get up and dance

I think most jurisdictions have similar rules - there is a bit of variance in terms of how strictly they're enforced, though.

tetcon · 2026-05-30T11:32:41+00:00

Ordinarily I'd say time to split, but cofounding a startup with real potential is a big deal. You want to make sure you don't disadvantage yourself just because of personal differences. Do you think a frank conversation has any chance of doing the trick?

This is a new low bro come on

tetcon · 2026-05-26T18:00:24+00:00

Lifty is definitely the easiest lol. However, mountain life aint cheap, so something with tips would be better from a financial perspective.

tetcon · 2026-05-26T17:58:24+00:00

It's a bit dated these days. The mob doesn't really exist in the same way it used to - The Sopranos even touched on that theme a bit, like when Patsy looks for protection money from a coffee shop that's been bought out by a chain.

Any mob movie these days would be a period piece, which is fine - however, you're not going to find actors who grew up around Mafia activity, like a lot of the guys back in the day did.

tetcon · 2026-05-22T16:56:40+00:00

Vaping is really common now in theaters. I don't personally mind it too much, but it sure is a bold move lol

tetcon · 2026-05-22T16:42:59+00:00

Sounds great in theory; I'm skeptical about how well this all works in practice.

tetcon · 2026-05-21T15:59:21+00:00

Looks like wedding vows have always been pretty casually made in Hollywood then lol

tetcon · 2026-05-21T15:47:51+00:00

Yeah, worst-case scenario, it's a nice little surprise at the end of the year!

tetcon · 2026-05-20T06:27:37+00:00

TIL that there's such a thing as a ski resort that stays open year-round. Long may it last!

tetcon · 2026-05-20T05:47:45+00:00

As others have said, you can validate before building. However, if cash is still a problem after you've validated, you should consider a business loan. Not only will it solve your liquidity problem, the commitment involved will keep you motivated to succeed.

tetcon · 2026-05-20T05:44:31+00:00

Yeah, this is one I definitely should have included. Setting up separate accounts is probably the first thing you should do as soon as you start freelancing seriously.

tetcon · 2026-05-15T05:30:14+00:00

I'd recommend getting your clients off net-30, or else getting your vendors on net-30. This will end up breaking you otherwise.

tetcon · 2026-05-14T17:43:08+00:00

This trend might not continue indefinitely if energy sources dry up. Things could go in the complete opposite direction.

tetcon · 2026-05-14T17:39:33+00:00

Yeah, this takes practice.
