    What y'all think about Threads by Meta?

    Reminds me of when Facebook first came out when I was in college. I reluctantly signed up after the first wave... and not so reluctantly posted some of the most cringe things that I still shudder to believe...

    Is programming a worthwhile skill to learn for entrepreneurship?

    HOT! INTRO 
    I've thought about this some. I still think programming, even if it's assisted by AI, is worth having as a skill. I also think about something related to my work: mechanical engineering analysis software. It can take days to run a realistic analysis solve on a cluster. And it can still be...

    I'm glad that I decided to learn Figma. I had a basic site/app prototype that I was coding by hand and learning just a bit of Figma is going to make it a lot easier to experiment and lay something out visually appealing before I jump to code. Trying to get as much done as I can before I go on...

    Maybe also add some sunlight/vit d? I had the worst colds when I was in Seattle. Even though I was taking 5-10k IU pills of vitamin D a day, my recovery was poor. I've stopped taking them for 3 years since moving in sunny FL and my mood is overall better and recovery a lot better. I blame the...

    Done in mornings/evenings before after work: Finished one of the several books I've got open for refreshing my memory on web design/coding. Have a few left to finish. I'm not doing every single exercise but am doing essentials and anything that I know I need to do. Still have great problem...

    Wow. I may catch the end in person again. I caught the end in 2012, and will be around Paris this year. I'm spending more than $200 though .

    This thread has really motivated me. I'm not sure about the goal of doing a bjj match, I may try to win a race or something though. I did my first windsurf race last year and didn't come in last, but I was NOT fast. People I were against may be big names next year... Definitely am going to push...

    Thank you, I definitely wasted too much time due to how I let things affect me the past few years. It took a lot to shake it off.

    I've unfortunately worked with and left companies that displayed arrogance like that. Heard rumors about other places from people that I know. Thankfully, I've been good enough that I haven't been fired. I have been shuffled around after standing my ground and refusing to work on things that I...

    Did a normal workout at the gym, including deadlifts and goodmornings and then did some calf warmups and a short jog afterwards, then tried sprinting from a dead stop. I was totally warm from that workout so I was less worried about pulling something. On all 4 runs, gps watch says I broke 20mph...

    If you were dropped off in another state/country, similar to your own, what would be your moves to achieve financial success?

    IDEA 
    I kind of did this. Quit my job to live in a country in Europe to try freelancing away from a regular job. Spent a bunch of time dealing with legalities/work visa issues. However, my approach was: Try to find companies/people that could use my existing skills, contact them, determine if we...

    Started making a pretty simple app that I think some others will use. Just re-learned a bunch of webdev stuff and added basic database skills and am throwing together something appealing but it'll take time squeezed in before/after work.

    Thank you. Thankfully, I kept weight training through my late 20s and my 30s (I'm 39 now), I just never made running much of a priority. I get greedy with progress sometimes and can David Goggins my way into injuries if I'm not careful.

    Had a couple of short running sessions since then, including today where I threw in some sprints just to see. I previously pulled a hamstring trying to go too fast too soon and this time it felt good. The max pace of 3:32/mile apparently is ~17mph, which seemed fast to me, but maybe the watch...

    I think I got lucky to get the timing right. When I moved back to FL from Europe/west coast I still had some savings. My rent was at 1450 a month downtown starting in 2020. My renewal this year would've been 2200 a month. That was for a <700 sqft place, but right where I didn't really need to...

    After that 2 mile run yesterday we went on a bike ride for ~16 miles to explore a new lake. Woke up early this AM and windsurfed for ~2.5hrs until my legs were about to start cramping up. Been feeling beat up and out of energy today all day after that, which means I'm probably pushing it.
