Honestly I used to get this, now I just focus on what tangible deliverables I have and if I’m getting them done in a timely manner. If I am, I take whatever time I need away from work.

I also like working flexible hours. Sometimes meetings bog me down and I have trouble constantly context switching (there’s something called a context switching cognitive penalty). So on those days I’ll relax in between meetings (other than some minor maintenance and meeting prep work), and then I’ll get some work done after hours when I’m feeling more focused and won’t be interrupted. Though this may not be possible for everyone with family obligations.

Finally, find some fun projects to do at work in between other obligations. Doesn’t have to be some major thing, but sometimes I’ll find an opportunity to develop minor tooling to help myself or my team. I try to find things that will also develop my own skillset.

Bonus is that a lot of my side projects get brought up during my performance review.

The above makes it sound like I work way more than 40 hours a week, I definitely do not lol. But doing things at my own pace lets me get all my work done and then some, and I have a work life balance.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this was the start of him stationing goons all over the country to stage a coup at the end of his term

This was a fascinating read, thank you for explaining in such detail.

Bromide sedatives vanished from the US market by 1989, after the Food and Drug Administration banned them, and “bromism” as a syndrome is today unfamiliar to many Americans.

Ahh so Mr. brain worms will probably try to bring it back eh?

So turns out this is the real reason they’re against abortions. I always thought it was the labor they could exploit. I guess it’s both

He said it was a fragment of a fossil cuttlefish so I was assuming there was more to this that was um… being used

It’s insane to me that anyone would think these things are reliable for something as important as your own psychology/health.

Even using them for coding which is the one thing they’re halfway decent at will lead to disastrous code if you don’t already know what you’re doing.
