I'm a father of 7 children. I'm the youngest of 5 siblings and my wife is the youngest of 6 siblings. Both of our mothers had college degrees and jobs and chose to stay at home with the children, and neither of our fathers had any

I’m working on building a payroll outsourcing company targeting the construction industry. 2,900 employees paid last week! Deep ERP integration is our competitive edge.

2.5M isn’t much. Is this possibly related to second- or third-tier subcontractors or suppliers not getting paid by the next subcontractor up the chain?

The European (ok, Swedish) attitude is: the authorities are there to enforce the law. The American attitude is: the law is there to support the authorities.

Fun! I bought all the versions of this game off of EBay, and showed my kids how to play. My youngest struggled with the abstractions in the game, so I 3D printed a hex board and the airplanes. It took way longer than I thought to figure out

I have a lot of anxiety as well, and I (now) am assuming that a large part of it is due to ADHD. What did/does therapy look like for you?

I don't know if I'd call it a "large" organization, but it could be--I for sure feel like I avoid the larger items at times. Looking at the last 10 years, I've build 10s of routines to compensate without knowing why

Thanks for the input. Parsing what is a negative consequence of this compared to a negative consequence of other things (e.g. lack of support systems at work, inefficient delegation, etc) will be tough and a good exercise to go thru.

Yes, coffee really does help--and fails to keep me up at night if I drink it late. Thanks for the tip about doctors being hesitant--we'll see what happens with my primary care. I suppose I'm the same as you in the aspect that I&#x

I loved it. We moved there with 4 kids and had number 5 there. Life-changing, wonderful experience.

I’ve heard that it has similar effects to Bulletproof coffee in that way.

I’ve experimented in the US since “real” kaffeost is hard to get ahold of, and I’ve found Wisconsin cheese curds to work the best.

I’m an American, but I lived a year in Kiruna (up north, mining town, part of Lapland) and it was a common thing among my friends from there. Common enough that I brought the tradition back to the US and enjoyed a cup of coffee-cheesed coff

Fun to see Kiruna here on Hacker News! My wife and I lived there for a year in 2014/2015. The mine is the _reason_ for the town, and it's exciting for my friends that live there to see additional minerals other than the high-quali

When I lived in Sweden I read about the concept of “no permanent damage.” The playgrounds seemed much more dangerous than the ones I grew up with here in the United States. I suppose liability has a lot to do with it. I’ve attempted to inco
