Simply adding a delay to ensure the sentence doesn't appear after it is spoken would fix this. It's something that unavoidably happens with Saturday Night Live's transcript, for example, and I prefer it for comedy.

This is why I choose to be a contractor and an engineer. If I work, I bill. I never understood how anyone in good conscience can work 15hrs while the others at the company work 40hrs and still collect full-time benefits. As an engineer I ha

Here's what my invoice looks like for today 0.5hr chats, code reviews, time-audit 1.25hr Bug#12345 ... So I have captured the ~15 minutes I spent itemizing/cleaning up my invoice for the past day or two in a "time-audit"

FWH has exposed how many white-collar jobs were only full-time in the ass-in-seat sense and how many employees should have Professional Meeting Attender as their job title. I used to be the guy who would champion efficient meeting practic

A comment and response from their YouTube video: I'm going to assume that the same propellers that took it up in the air become generators once you reach elevation? Exactly. More information on how it works is here https://w

One of the properties I own is in Reno which is a 4hr drive from SF. It's a 2br 1ba condo which Zillow estimates $207k. It's nice, fully remodeled. That would be $900 mortgage + $180 hoa + $50 taxes (?) = ~$1200/mo ? Make $20

No, probably more dumb in the "man-up" sense: running immediately after waking in below freezing weather while it's still dark out without warming up or wearing warm clothes. I felt superhuman and that feeling is addictive. P

David Goggins is that you ? I have been exercising my entire life and running is the only activity that routinely gives me injuries that last for nearly a year. Most of us probably don't have the best form but watching Goggins get his

"I want to minimize the amount of time I have spend doing it." Just to quickly share what worked for me since many of us don't have room for a row machine: a pull-up bar and a 30lb kettle bell. Every 4hrs between 9AM and 9PM

Personally I have gone ever further and started treating "I, you, my, your" as mild swear words especially around people who are insecure or who may unfairly think you are authoritarian. "one could argue", "it'

"Because who will put up with you if you don't even think you're worthy of love." The answer is people who don't know the real you. Would anyone love you if they saw a clip show of all the lies, betrayal, hypocrisy,

Exactly. The working poor want good health insurance, affordable college, paid time off, a pension/retirement, home equity, a safe neighborhood, passive income, a few yearly vacations, etc. Basically what me and all my friends and fam

I'll never understand OMAD from a minimum calorie requirement standpoint. I watched a lean muscular YouTuber prepare his one meal which was mostly cauliflower mash and totaled 600 calories, in which case I call BS since he probably nee

My bad, I shouldn't have taken the bait. What could I possibly add to a conversation about security that you couldn't do on your own as a simple thought experiment.

Well, I'll take the bait. Personally I never understood how political views on border security were anti-correlated with the belief climate change will affect food and water security. I recently purchased a SoCal property that is 400ft

Personal story, I sold my home in Austin in July of this year. I was going to sell it myself but instead found a 1% broker. It was listed at $525k and I would have taken $495k. Because I don't negotiate for a living and because $495k

Does the focus on NVH imply that the increase of rolling friction over time is negligible compared to the tread lifetime ? Or is that partly of the reason to target lighter vehicles. The above assumes the spokes(?) become stretched over tim
