The Wikipedia article [1] has a lot more details about the case including the extent of the child’s injuries (far more serious than his cover story would indicate) and Mr. Roberson’s prior history of physical abuse of ex spouses and his oth

I like the approach of a Hall of Fame NHL player, Teemu Selanne- he asks "how good are you on your bad day?" and "if you're having a bad day, what can you do to make it a little bit better?" Obviously there are exce

lol this brings back memories. Spent 5 years working in BBV in high school and college, my first day on the job was when they installed dvd shelves in the middle of the store, was there when we removed all VHS, was there when Netflix strea

One thing I haven't seen mentioned- a wall mounted monitor arm. I use an adjustable sit/stand desk and hated even the minor vibrations produced by my typing, attaching my monitor to a wall mounted arm eliminated this issue.

I'm not a dev but more technical than the vast majority of the non-dev population- I couldn't get docker to work and gave up trying to get it to work.

Don’t confuse angellist with the crowdfunding platforms. Crowd funding platforms are used by companies that can’t attract legitimate VC investment, angel list are real VC syndicates that send accredited investors opportunities to invest in

The large platforms enable millions of eyeballs to be aggregated together to attract advertising dollars. In return, the eyeballs receive an algorithmic feed of bite sized dopamine hits (a Tweet, a short video, an Instagram image, etc). I

"89% of the world's billionaires have not held or sought political office." Makes a far less interesting headline.

In my mid 20s, I was about $100K in debt, failed in the career that I thought I'd have after undergrad, compounded my problem by running to a grad school program because I thought it would give me a new chance at money post program and

No. I don't want to get locked out of my password manager by some algorithmic mistake (like has happened to some users that have their Google accounts locked).

I think this is part of the reason why Berkshire Hathaway has been so successful. Sure they buy good companies, but for the most part they buy them, keep the current management and then leave them alone to continue to do the things that ma

Your comparison is a poor one. Chechnya wasn't ever an independent country. They declared independence, but it was never recognized as an independent country by anyone, including any countries in the West.

Just a heads up “weight loss” is a poor metric if it comes at the cost of lean muscle mass. It seems that 39% of weight loss associated with Ozempic comes from lean muscle mass which isn’t great. https://peterattiamd.com/th

Sure, here are the most impactful changes, they may sound simple to some, but they had a big impact on me: 1. I had already been blocking out "no meeting" time of 2-4 hours a day to get work done, but during this time I would list
