I am software engineer and I have certainly attempted use GPT for coding with mixed results. But what I am really impressed using it for writing. I am writing the story of my abusive upbringing with a mental ill mother. I am not a writer, b

It is an amazing book, not just for science fiction fans. The first story, "Tower of Babylon" somehow is like a science fiction story but based on ancient people's cosmology. Great book.

I've found that people you hang out with understand, if they are good people they will go out of their way to accommodate you; la croix or other carbonated drinks helps with the appearance of 'not drinking' but still holding

Playing minecraft on switch vs my pixel 6 is night and day. I can't imagine performance is anywhere near what it needs to be for an end game base? But I'd be curious to see what they've come up with here.

I'm useless after 6pm or 7pm, 7am - 11am is more my sweet spot.

I'm not saying Bush didn't say that because I don't know, I can believe it. But it seems odd because 1) Gog and Magog are a somewhat well know part of Islamic eschatology, and 2) I pretty sure Google existed at that point in

Thanks for saying this. I spent years worried if I took an hour or two or a day during 'busy' times, and it turned me into a liar, because I said I do things or be somewhere and often times I did not because of work. It is always

Here is a related story. I should mention Tines or OP has no relationship I know of with Salesforce, for background Mulesolft is a cloud focused integration platform owned by Salesforce, who's big feature is visual mapping, visual work

For me it isn't so much being a 'nerd', which I am, as being very much an introvert as well. And most people don't know this, but introverts still want to be around people, just need alone time too, so I understand where

I had a handful of marks/scars that lasted for several years on my legs after using one of these. I am sure it depends on the brand, but please be careful using these.

I am curious if anyone has ever or can ever do a study to see if this would ever encourages inflation or not, or who knows if it would have a deflationary effect even?

Thanks for this. I had a mild case in January and have been feeling 'off' in multiple ways including the above. Glad to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

80/20. Everyone, parents, agents, closing lawyers all told me I was making the best decision of my life. All were saying they wished they could go back in time and buy a house when they were 24. Ended up taking a 30k bath on it 5 years

That is so similar to what happened to me, only I had graduated December 2006. So I had 1.5 years until it went south and got laid off. Luckily I had acquired a condo in that time at the market peak, so I had a place to lay awake at night a

I was a consultant for ten years, not at McKinsey, but a very small firm that actually was ethical by comparison at least, and actually got some good things done, and then later, at another small company that was completely unethical. In ma

As a person trying to deal with parents already on the ledge, I can’t tell you how detrimental this is to an already fragile situation.

I am surprised no one has mentioned mastodon. Organizations or individuals can set up their own server and people can interact with their local communities that can police and or use the data as they want, AND there is a federated feed of a

That is my schedule when I have to go in (thankfully only a few times a month), but usually the 10:00-3:30 becomes a 10:00-6:30 or 7. I guess the friend thing kind of depends on which direction they moved in relation to traffic.

I feel like what happened to the author epitomizes the experience of a generation that graduated in the year or two right before the crash of 2008. The first round of layoffs obviously disproportionately effected people that were just start
