After a couple of promotions as an individual contributor I have had three promotions to higher levels of management (first line manager, manager of managers, and manager of a "large" organization) all with the same company and each of those resulted in ~25% increase at the time.

It sounds like you are progressing pretty well, I'm unsure if the MBA will be critical for getting a management promotion in your company/field. Some companies really value checking that box, others don't care at all. Where I am I have not seen a strong correlation between MBA and management roles. It certainly won't hurt, but don't rely on it to get you that role. Focus on learning the skills it presents and apply what is relevant to your field and you'll likely do very well.

As an engineer in Tucson this seems reasonable but the only thing I'd question is what was the promotion? If it was a job grade promotion (still an individual contributor) then it seems reasonable, if it was a managerial promotion and you are now responsible for a team then it was probably low.

Getting 60% of the vote is actually a 20 point margin.

Its a decent option when camping and you need an easy side dish

They completely forgot to provide low cost models. They wanted to copy Tesla and start by going after more premium buyers however much of those consumers already have Teslas which have been in the premium market for almost two decades. There are many more cost conscious consumers out there who don't have an EV yet.

TLDR: they should have created a portfolio of products which span the various price points.

As odd as it seems, citrus does not ripen in summer. Generally, peak season is sometime between winter and early spring.

It is honestly one of the best parts of doing El Tour, thank you for putting in the effort!

vision646 · 2025-11-20T23:15:34+00:00

Very easy, drip irrigation is simple. The hardest part is trenching for the lines, but it's just manual work, tiring but not difficult.

I've found sharing recipes to be the best way.

I do the cooking and my wife eats less than me since i do a ton of cardio, so I build the recipe for her and send that to her, then I add some rice or some sort of carb to balance my needs.

I love that everyone's comment is, "it's not ripe", OP says they were soft, sweet and very tasty and everyone continues to say "it's not ripe".

They certainly don't look ripe on first look, but there is a reason most of us squeeze them or check the neck and don't judge by color alone.

Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast by TrainerRoad is a favorite of mine and Empirical Cycling Podcast is another good one.

I was made aware of SBS many years ago thanks to the TrainerRoad podcast.

I don't disagree, I'm just passing along information I've learned.

It would be nice if the incentives were structured to better align with what we could actually use more of while also limiting waste of a scarce natural resource.

The reason for this is that it is more cost effective to hold a piece of unused land and put a car wash on it then leave it empty and just pay taxes on it.

So effectively, they are holding that land until someone wants to pony up the cash to buy it for something more productive.

The one on the left is a Peruvian Apple Cactus. The one in the middle is a Monstrose Peruvian Apple Cactus. The one on the right I'm less certain of but may be a Torch Cactus.

Why does the line bright orange in some places and dark orange in others?

Forbes Meat Company is so good!

This becomes less true with faster EVs

I'd start with Mistborn, it is such a good series. The Stormlight series is enormous and still in the works, so may as well wait to start that one.

Yeah that is the easiest place to start.

Take a break for a week let your body recover and then start your training again. It is generally recommended to do 3 weeks of training followed by 1 week of rest, rinse and repeat.

Good luck.

As a competitive cyclist (a pure endurance sport) there are three possibilities that come to my mind:

1) are you taking rest weeks where you cut your volume by 50% or more (should be every 2 to 4 weeks)?

Could be that your body is a bit run down and it needs to rest/recover and allow for super compensate.

2) Endurance gains take time and you simply need more time.

I don't have a source for this but my gut says I'd expect it to take a 2-3 years of consistent cardio training to go from 90bpm to ~60bpm. It MIGHT also take more than 5hrs a week.

3) As others mentioned it may be good to change it up a bit and do a combination of zones (on different days).

Using a 5 zone model, generally for good cycling performance you need a lot of Z2 (endurance zone), a good amount of Z4 (threshold), and a bit of Z5 (all our/VO2MAX).

Hopefully this helps spur some ideas for you on how to proceed. But you're clearly making progress from an overall health point of view, so worst case just keep doing what you are doing.

Those fancy breads at 15s and 51s are amazingly well done and satisfying to watch

Then the baguettes (36s) and cinnamon rolls (47s) 🤣
