It’s a common trope, in the US at least. The gift can be different in different countries. In the Philippines other local-made snacks might be brought for teachers.

All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.

Is snooze still the obnoxious 9 minutes?

The blurb here makes me think the main article is an “advertorial”.

I prompted ChatGPT to write and adjust a linear Python script for a repetitive task I needed to automate. It took 30 minutes versus the 6-12 hours I would have consumed if I had coded it myself.

It’s a huge force multiplier when used properly.

Big Toothpaste gonna fight this. Tooth and nail.

So much pomp in that one. I’m a fan of Norton I. Emperor of the United States, and Protector of Mexico. Rolls off the tongue and can be delivered between bites of fruity pebbles cereal.

That’s how they started out. In 2007 I had the seven-at-a-time package because my wife and I would watch a movie a night. Shipping took 3-4 days, so by the time I got to number 7, I’d have only had it for 3 or four days before it went straight back into the mailbox.

It was a different time. As fast as things were starting to go, in retrospect it was all still pretty slow.

To this end, for some it might be helpful to start with tracking spending (speaking from personal experience). I couldn’t determine what was a reasonable amount for a given category for a budget because I didn’t see my current circumstance.

I spent several years categorizing my expenses into two broad categories: fixed vs variable.

Fixed costs are utilities, mortgages, grocery, and insurance etc, variable costs were anything else (more or less).

By doing it this way I could see the minimum I needed to live—and also how much I was spending on frivolous shit.

Use Google Docs, and make a simple spreadsheet to track numbers. It doesn’t have to be a beautiful sheet, just functional. It will grow with you over time as you add and remove functionally to track different aspects of your finances that are important to you. If you don’t know how to use spreadsheets, online MOOCs have courses for a tiny amount of dollars relative to what you learn.

We’re Disruptors.

These are called hypnic jerks.
