It is now easier to identify political whackadoos and disengage.
I moved to the bluest neighborhood in a blue town in a purple county in a bluish purple state. I actually enjoy talking to my neighbors about politics now, I can out out positive messages without getting my house egged.
It could also be a nerve thing. I’ve had that happen with Upright Rows. For me the immediate prevention was loosening my neck (avoid clenching my neck) during neck-adjacent lifts like that. Long term fix was PT to resolve some posture issues I have with my neck that can cause nerve impingement.
Who wants a g&t?
I thought libertarians were cool. Then I learned about the “fiscally conservative “ parts.
You have your preference, I have mine. An underdone cookie is gooey and melty but still brown around the edges, best of both worlds.

I’ll give you handegg but the other one looks more like groundball
I am wearing the cheese, it does not wear me
The crickets and frogs outside through an open window.
If altitude is portrayed I don’t see it. I think this map is purely to show borders/adjacency without consideration of size and only vague consideration of location. Size kinda sorta correlates with the number of adjacent countries but also seems a bit arbitrary.
It has been interesting. I wanted to teach at university so I went straight into a PhD program after my 4 year engineering degree. Found out that being a professor, at least at an ivy league school, was 10% teaching and 90% funding and politics, also did not mesh well with available projects and support, dropped out with “half a PhD”. Worked 12 years at steel mills, the first one sucked but I learned a lot, the second one really developed me into who I am now from an entrepreneurial and leadership POV. Went to business school at night and simultaneously got a Manager job at a shitty company, got fired, got an engineer job elsewhere and quickly promoted to manager where I rocked the house. Left for a senior engineer role elsewhere with better pay and work life balance and I am loving it so far.
Lots of luck, lots of effort, lots of learning through failure and success. Best thing I did was probably business school. The engineering degree is what gets me in the door but the tools I learned in getting my MBA have proven more valuable because most of the problems I need to solve are not exclusively engineering problems.
It was really weird to go from a high performer at one company to getting fired at the next. Thankfully I’ve had two great experiences since then, so I guess it was probably them not me. Getting fired messed with my concept of self worth for a bit but I have worked through that now.

I told her friend that I liked her. She married me (eventually).
I quote cars.
Availability. You’re more likely to go potty when there’s a toilet, you’re more likely to eat when there’s food, etc.
Ducks always look so frantic, like they’re surprised they can fly and worried it’ll stop working.
WAP and Big Energy.
Compartmentalization. I only focus on what I can control. I read local news and mostly ignore national stuff because it is beyond my ability to affect change.
