Well hey, thank you! It was a fun prompt, I appreciate the inspiration and the feedback.

Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.

Yeah, I got tired of being the product. It used to be Google phones were significantly cheaper, that’s just not nearly as much a thing anymore.

Then you have to take the additional steps of finding privacy focused roms etc… It just wasn’t worth the savings to me. There’s things about Android I miss, but the fact that my phone is good for years and years is such a game changer.

I have been gradually transitioning over to proton for additional privacy and I’ve basically completely divorced myself from Google at this point.

Any good tutorial videos you’d recommend?

The grinder for pepper corns. It gives you more flavor than ground pepper.

It’s a hot take! Wouldn’t be good if it weren’t inflammatory.

Pepper Mills are overrated.

Serious answer:

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

I wasn’t double tapping intentionally! That’s the ticket. I was tapping around looking for a collapse trigger and must have occasionally tapped quickly enough to earn a double tap.

Very cool and thanks for making this.

Very neat. I haven’t used Reddit in a year, but I wanted to check out your app out of curiosity. I think I feel much healthier without it being a regular part of my life, but this is an interesting window I could glance through from time to time.

The comment collapse feature seems to work very inconsistently. Where should you be tapping or how in order to collapse a comment thread?

Yeah, there was an exhibition match between Serena and Venus and the 203rd ranked male player.

There are myriad eulogies shared across the cortex, but the one that rises to the top: “Today, bigotry claimed its final life. Never forget what fear of the other and the unknown can do to our very humanity. Let today be a day of solemn remembrance for the lives lost, but also a celebration of those who courageously choose hope in the face of uncertainty.”

That’s a fair point.

I think because guys are pound for pound stronger than girls. I’ve read stories on Reddit years ago by girls who are wrestlers or fighters and get into a playful tussle with some random guy and they describe it as terrifying.

Never even heard of it, but it goes on the list!

Yes and no? My team is scattered around the US, so if my east coasters hit a snag early, I genuinely don’t want them in a holding pattern until I get around to it. Same for my coworkers on the west coast.

Some of the intensity of it has been that I assumed control of a team that was already severely mismanaged and had missed it’s initial deadlines by a month.

Of course that manager got promoted to an area that better suited his skills and I was asked to step in and try to right the ship. Our final deadline is today and we only have minor and cosmetic bugs left (that we know of).

We have plenty of new features to add moving forward, but with the project back on track and the foundation established, I’ll be able to set better deadlines for everyone’s work life balance.

I will probably always have some temptation to pull long hours for my team scattered around the country, but it becomes much less urgent now that we’re past our insane crunch.

Maybe it’s hopelessly naive of me and the next deadline will also become a crunch, but I have some control over those future dates, so I hope it will be less of an issue.

While it can’t “know” its own confidence level, it can distinguish between general knowledge (12” in 1’) and specialized knowledge that requires supporting sources.

At one point, I had a chatGPT memory designed for it to automatically provide sources for specialized knowledge and it did a pretty good job.

Really good advice, thank you.

Really helpful. Yeah, it’s already invaded my vacations and time off, but I’m working to create better boundaries moving forward. The problem is that there’s literally no one else who can answer certain questions or resolve certain problems and everything will grind to a halt if I don’t deal with it in a timely manner.

I know this is just a joke, but I’ve recently become a project manager for the first time. I’m open to tips and suggestions.

I’ve really enjoyed it and have worked hard to give my developers everything they need as soon as possible. Otherwise I try to stay out of the way and do my best to shield them from the pressure that’s being applied on me to achieve deadlines.

I’d agree that anyone can ask for project updates, but I really do work hard to balance client demands with c-suite expectations and the realistic outcomes described by my developers.
