Yossarrian22··on Job application asked for my SAT scores
I didn't take the SATs in the 80s but in 00s I don't remember any of the concepts translating well to understanding calculus or statistics and I scored well enough it gave me a free ride to college (well that was the PSAT but it was in line with my SAT score). If they wanted to test that they should have tailored an exam similar to my college when assessing my math capability.

Yossarrian22··on A short history of Cerro Torre, the most controversial mountain (2012)
I can't find many details, but I had heard Hayden's name before, he sadly died of suicide after losing his partner in an avalanche ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_Kennedy_(climber) ). Jason Kruk appears to still be climbing to this day, so neither appeared to wind up in significant legal trouble after rightly or wrongly damaging a tourist destination.

Yossarrian22··on The weird, wild story of humanity's obsession with gold
Any war that has the USD no longer be accepted has significant existential risk, and besides if things devolve that much you should be worrying about any entity holding the gold for you or someone killing you for the gold you personally hold.

Yossarrian22··on Ti-84 Evo

To be, or not to be? That is the ultimate leadership challenge.

Are you playing it safe and suffering the "slings and arrows" of a volatile market? Or are you ready to disrupt the status quo and take arms against a sea of industry challenges?

Let’s break it down: • Strategy vs. Execution: Is it nobler to endure the grind, or to pivot and end the struggle? • The "Sleep" of Stagnation: We all want to end the heartache of inefficient workflows, but are we afraid of the "dreams" (or risks) that come with true innovation?

The "undiscovered country" of new markets can be intimidating. It’s easy to let the "pale cast of thought" lead to analysis paralysis. But great leaders don't let their "currents turn awry"—they take action.

Don't let your resolution be "sicklied o'er." It’s time to scale, optimize, and make your mark.

INPUT: We’re all going to die!!!

Output: Reflecting on the ultimate deadline today.

In the fast-paced world of business, we often forget that our time is the most finite resource we have. Facing the reality of our own mortality is the ultimate wake-up call to optimize our workflows, prioritize high-impact networking, and truly lean into our core value propositions.

Every ending is just a pivot to a new legacy. Are you maximizing your ROI before the final Q4?

Because if you get in an accident you personally not Tesla are liable. Soon as I’m not liable for an accident when the computer is driving I’d sell my other cars and put my family in pink PT Cruisers if those were the only cars offering that
