This became me, somewhere along the last 5-10 years. Not the being proud of it part, just the realization that my breadth of book reading has taken a nosedive. Unfortunately I haven’t read a single book of any kind in the last few years. Having kids didn’t help, but I am planning to change that finally.

Supermarket loyalty card surprises me there. It isn’t just a physical card? Or a phone number? That’s all I ever use at any of our supermarkets.

I was confused at first, thinking this was going to be an updated version of the original.

Unfortunately, it seems like they’re becoming more common in the last 6-12 months.

I really disagree with that stance. It would be trivial to have it ask you questions about what it produced to ensure you understand. I’ve literally already done that several times.

Yeah, I can’t imagine having something “weeks or months” late without intervention. That isn’t a failing of AI or the junior, that’s a failing on the team processes/manager/everyone else on the team.

Allow/force medical schools to grow, increasing the provider pool, thereby reducing their pay?

Seattle Public Schools currently still has a “Highly Capable Cohort” program, though it is phasing it out.

I’ve been using it in the tech space for many years now, no idea where I picked it up. Also this is the first I’ve heard Claude is using it!

> It's more that money and power enable you to be who you really are

If you’re only a certain way when you have money and power, is it really “who you really are”?

I just bought a 2008 odyssey last week!

The super ferry was incredible. Being able to drive your car on a different island was such a game changer vs buying flights for the fam and then having to rent a car. I miss it!

It’s a terrible job market and they pay notoriously well.

> Neither will deliver a pizza in 30 min or less, for example.

Looks like Amazon will deliver me a (frozen) pizza in 23 minutes, actually!

It was a remote gig

Note “official” in the request… there are unofficial ones.

> That's one of the answers: it's seen as a "women's" sport mostly. In school boys play football and girls play soccer in rough general terms.

I’ve never heard that, in fact there are more boys who play in America than girls.

I believe most of what you said, but no college varsity player is playing only a few times a week. Even the lowest division of NCAA teams would have practice or matches 5-6 times a week in season.

My last employer had a monthly Day of Learning where you could study whatever you want (so long as you could sort of tie it back to work). It was great. They’d organize presentations from employees but you could spend the whole day essentially however you wanted.

My last employer had a very generous moonlighting policy. You could absolutely use their hardware.

People often have accounts at multiple banks…

That may be true in theory, but not so much in practice where they only have so many people in their classes and extracurriculars.

Most people giving birth have insurance, and $20k would not be their out of pocket cost.

I definitely don’t think they’re generally worthwhile and don’t subscribe myself, but my in laws have had excellent luck with their policy.

I bought a fixer upper a few years ago. It was a solid six month stretch of various projects of various sizes rushing to be done before my child was born. Since then it’s been very chill, though I did just spend about another six months renovating a bathroom down to the studs myself, but I took that upon myself for the thrill of it.

Heh, gotcha. Yes, as a homeowner, the buck stops with you since you own it.

Yep, I debated mentioning home warranty services, but that is also a thing a lot of folks surprisingly don’t know about.

Of course that’s a benefit of renting. How does that relate to the OP _homeowner_ saying one downside of ownership is they don’t have a single number to call for any maintenance issues?

If the buyer wants to move in, isn’t that a just cause for eviction? If the new buyer just wants it as a rental, sure, carry on.

> There's no one person I can call for every single problem.

There absolutely can be if you want to pay for the service. Look up home concierge / residential management services, like Para Home Services.
