I knew it. I after with the sentiment this is a good thing, but it’s really bad for domestic manufacturing. A few of my friends work in manufacturing and their companies are already ramping up assuming these contracts will be fulfilled. I warned them that there may be a rug-pull coming and here it is…
I may be reading this wrong, but that’s almost their entire net worth of $1.57T.
…good
Physical feedback becomes un-ignorable.
If I’m not standing or moving enough, my body tells me because my back, legs, or knees hurt. Drink too much or too late? I’ll wake up at like 3am and not be able to go back to sleep. Haven’t worked out lately? Everyday tasks are perceptively harder and I’ll sleep like trash. Eat too much or not healthy enough? Tummy ache.
Feeling good is simply being kind to my future self and I actively know when I’m mortgaging my short term future.
Now if I could just figure out how to do the same thing with work obligations…

Totally agree. We’re the most prosperous country in the world but we basically fail all social health markers. Literacy rates, quality of healthcare, infrastructure, deaths during child birth…all these are inferior to many European countries with a fraction of our GDP. It’s shameful. We can and should do better.
The major takeaway: wealth does not equal a good life.
American here, can confirm. Drank the “greatest country” kool aid as a kid, then started to travel in young adulthood.
I’m still struggling with the fact that I feel least “at home” and most isolated in the place I call home. Every single place I’ve ever been outside the US (7 countries and counting, 4 in the EU) has seemed more welcoming, interconnected, simple to get around, and vibrant. Let alone a more reasonable cost of living and a much better safety net.

I think it’s because most people are right handed, often landing harder on their opposing foot, leading to a “rightward” bias, or counterclockwise.
It’s an issue with orienteering where people tend to walk in circles, even when trying to keep a straight line. This is where dead reckoning pays dividends.
Art of the deal!
…but…I only have one upvote to give.
This is a great explanation. Thanks!
I’m just curious, why only 2%? I diligently pay just about 30% combined, maybe a bit less.
2% is a great start, but unless there’s a good reason, I think it would make more sense to demand closer to 25% or more.
A reasonable argument that I can see is 2% is better than nothing. I’d like to demand equity up front and then negotiate from there.
It’s on sale for like $2. I’m giving it a shot.
I get superstitions about being cocky or headstrong. Nearly every time I do, the universe corrects my behavior, typically by me failing in some huge, embarrassing fashion.
There’s another way. Adaptive headlights can fix this: https://youtube.com/shorts/AgxVuXC0T44
You’re not wrong though. Even crappy headlights on taller vehicles seem much brighter to observers. My buddy’s 2005 RAM is proof. When we’re in it, I’d have better luck seeing with a flashlight, but when he’s driving behind my car, it’s like someone’s shining the bat signal into my rear window.
Also, don’t get me started on people who replace their bulbs with HID or LED bulbs but don’t spend the money on projector headlights. It’s infuriating.
All fair points. Also, I meant the EU. 🤦♂️
I’ve had some success playing tinnitus ringing over headphones and it made it markedly better. Still comes and goes, but from what I understand, it’s encouraging the mind to start ignoring it. Kind of like going nose deaf.
Or earwax. See a doctor.
Honestly, my heart goes out to all these people. Every person on both sides of this senseless invasion is a person. They have parents who probably love them and want to see them again. Friends, siblings likely.
Also, Russia has a long history of conscription, right? I’m wondering how many of these soldiers want to be there.
So much senseless violence and loss of life on both sides, and for what? It’s gross.
