    I just have to mention this somewhere. Solar flares and solar storms send out blasts of microwave and radio energy, as well as other frequencies. This is caused by electrons being accelerated in a magnetic field, with higher field strength correlating to higher energy frequency. Here's just a...

    If someone offered you a CEO job for millions, would you take it?

    HOT! CHAT 
    If I wanted the job, I would already be pursuing it. I'm not, which means I don't want it. Therefore, I would turn it down. Also, anything that involving the following list of misfortunes is a hard no: Attending more than one business meeting per month Being part of a publicity campaign...

    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    NOTABLE! HOT! 
    Well that is good, and I've known at least one person who related that level of satisfaction and freedom from regret at the end. To me it would be a little strange to focus only on the future (especially the last moment of the subjective future), and simulate that future self reflecting on the...

    Presumably the last sentence in a novel is not the entire value and meaning of the work though, right? If I'm the reader and I look at a novel, there's more to it than the fact that it eventually ends? You could say that novels are meaningless because the universe will collapse into a...

    If you're trying to keep manufacturing in the US, there are people who want to see more of that happen. I even know a few, so DM me if you want an introduction. More importantly, this will be a recurring national priority as we re-evaluate supply chain risk. It's very much on the radar, and US...

    Not exactly. PR wins and sharing online are the more transactional/momentary part of a spectrum that describes what socially motivated individuals are really looking for. Think "instant gratification." Like candy or snacks, likes and subscribes might hit a craving, but they do not necessarily...

    My country is about to go bankrupt

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Probably not the most up to date news. I saw that they were swimming in his pool and taking photos in his bedroom. That's generally not a sign of stability, so I wrote "political transition" as a euphemism. I've been in the midst of a political transition or two myself. It's never boring, I'll...

    My country is about to go bankrupt

    Sri Lanka strikes me as a beautiful place; the natural features, flora fauna and minerals are fascinating. Also the culture, with similarities to SE Asia and India, yet unique. Would love to visit some day when things are stable. Hope everything goes alright during this political transition, if...

    Why don't you give me your money? Because I am a victim and you are rich!!

    RANT 
    Yep, definitely seen this with entitled people. Funny thing is, you could give them 10x the amount of money, and in a month they would be broke and asking you for more. They're slaves to their own indecisiveness and self-defeating narratives. Truly victims of their own choices. Keep at it, and...

    How to value my time more?

    EXECUTION 
    Just measure things on the basis of "does this activity move me in the direction I want to go?" You'll naturally start doing more things that matter in terms of your objectives.

    Profit attracts capital. So if you could prove that building stable, nature-friendly ecosystems is profitable, you'll attract capital to the concept. The nature god/ess, whoever that might be, will surely be relieved. That said, social status also attracts capital, and can probably be thought...

    Forest farm? You grow pods of mutualistic trees/shrubs and mushrooms, harvest the mushrooms and fruit/nuts/drupes/leaves, and it provides habitat, socks away carbon, improves the soil, etc. My father in law is an extraordinary botanist and educated me about this concept. I've also seen large...

    Gurus are intentionally over the top though. Their real model, most of the time, is to snow you with lots of activity and emotional charge so that you'll temporarily forget that you're "stuck." It might even work every so often, as a kind of catharsis. But mostly it sets new priorities by...

    For fitness watch things, I like the Garmin Tactix. Doesn't bother me about not-fitness-watch things, and I can use it for GPS and other interesting stuff if I want to. Useful for tracking sleep quality. Built tough so I don't accidentally smithereen it.

    We have way too many of them. They're part of the suburban development concept in use here. It starts out as "who will repair the wall around the subdivision?!" But with the formation of an HOA, the trolls of the world are attracted to the board, where they make and enforce inane rules, and...

    I think I'm sleepy when I wake up. After that, if I have a project I'm working on that I really like, I do get... excited? Maybe motivated + positively anticipating. I mean, I'm not excited like atoms in a nuclear reactor, or like a 5 year old waiting for birthday cake. That would be too much...

    I wonder how safe it would be in a country where the government whips people and summarily executes them for having the wrong plant in their pocket? There's no situation where everyone is disarmed, ever. The only choice is between concentrating the power to kill or defend with a few people, who...
