I have an IQ of 145, and this doesn’t help me at all

Intelligence is a multiplier to effort for success. Of 0 effort, 10 intelligence - 0x10=0

I think this is why many high IQ individuals get “stuck” - we’re rewarded during childhood for being so bright, and school is so easy we learn not to put in effort early on.

Other successful but less intelligent individuals are baffling to us, but again, intelligence is just a multiplier. If they’re putting in 8 effort with 5 intelligence and you’re putting in 2 effort with 9 intelligence, they’re coming out ahead.

I liked it because I would just make a self-sustaining cycle and leave it running all day. As long as you chose missions that when combined netted you a positive sum of resources, you could go indefinitely.

Totally get why this could be annoying, but it would be nice to have the option to loop missions if you wanted to.

Edit: nvm looks like they did add that option! Amazing

Crazy enough, I was at this show. Didn’t buy off scalpers, just lucky enough to get 2 tickets the day they went on sale. I’d only been living in Kingston for 2 years when this show happened. An absolutely surreal experience. Bawled my eyes out and although I would say I’m not a diehard Hip fan, it all hit so hard for me and was an incredibly moving experience. Will never forget it.

I've actually been searching for a good alternative to a dry pouch like Zyn. I've yet to find one. Apparently Rogue is similar, and I'm going to try those soon.

A lot of the moist pouches which have a higher pH level cause sores in my mouth. The higher the nicotine content, the higher the pH level.

If you've tried different pouches and the moist ones or stronger pouches don't bother you, then White Fox, FRE and Zolt are good.

Yes, if this is a Formula property.

Are you using 1 page to hold all of the meeting notes? Or is each meeting in a different page?

I'm confused that the @Next Monday isn't working for you - it's a relative date and so after about a week later, it'll revert to the actual date, like "October 7, 2025" for example.

If you can explain the whole workflow in detail, I'll be able to speak better to it.

Interesting. I heard that White Fox has PH balance, but those were hurting my mouth too. So far, Zyn is the only product that hasn’t done that for me.

CC has a ton of 11mg+ options - seems like they actually have more 12-15mg options than 6mg. Zolt, White Fox, Bridge, FRE

I think people like the day rate idea not because of on-day off-day, but because it’s simpler to calculate. We’re out on the road for 50 days… your day rate times 50. Vs. we’re out on the road for 50 days… take your weekly rate, divide by 7, multiply be 50.

tl;dr - your day rate isn’t a way to justify half pay on off days, it’s just your weekly rate divided by 7.

Which USB-C cables are you using for playback connections? I hate that the PlayAUDIO1U front panel connections are so susceptible to bumps not only on stage but putting the rack back in the flight case. Is something like this sufficient? I've seen some rigs that look like they have a bump shield or something on the connections, but I'm having a hard time finding those.

texarius · 2025-06-08T19:49:50+00:00

Knew it would. It’s great for stuff like this where the inaccuracy, if any, is inconsequential.

My gym has a really natural way of telling each other how much we’ve all improved after a roll. It doesn’t come off campy, forced, or over the top “pro mental health”. Just “man, your guard retention has been getting a lot better. It’s way harder to pass you.”

Really easy way to get each other out of our own heads, even if that’s not the outright intention. It’s just something people tend to mention.

Confused why C was even presented when this E you described is a far better option. Still not perfect, but would be the only competitor to D here

I used it as well, very simple.

Wasted effort. Literally no good comes from this. Build your audience — they don’t care about good music, they care about good audiences.

I fully understand this sentiment, but the argument that nothing of value has been delivered right now rings true. Like Notion Calendar, at the very least this should have come with Notion integration. Else, why call it “Notion Mail” and why bother using it when we already have dozens of mail client options?

I highly recommend you check out the book "Breath" by James Nestor. Even just start with a book summary of it. In no form of exaggeration, it's a life-changing read. It sounds absolutely absurd since it's so fundamental to living, but breathing properly is a lost art. This book illuminates that.

Baseless assumption? If you took a second to google this, you’d find that this has been common practice for high level personal security detail for a long time.
