Do you and your spouse sleep in a separate room?
Do you feel a change in restfulness? In satisfied with my quality of sleep for the duration, but then again ive been snoring since college so its always been the same frame of reference.

The Italy Thread
Its kinda like how good BBQ isnt exclusive to centex anymore. Those other places do good Naples style pies. Just not *that* special. The Bonci stuff floored me because i didnt expect a fluffy square overloaded with a bunch of unusual toppings to be delicious. Complete surprise.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
My immediate team of 11 people represents 10 nationalities, only 1 of whom is a native English speaker (not I!). We communicate in English though, and I don't begrudge anyone for not speaking it perfectly. I just don't see the point of guy doing all of the talking when he's understood by perhaps 5% of the audience.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
There's this really high ranking technical guy in the company who's got a SEVERE stutter--both dragggggggggggging words and rererepeating words. And the company keeps dragging him out to give speeches and talks to big audiences. And nobody can understand a goddamn thing he says. I'm very sympathetic to people with different accents and language abilities, but I don't understand either. It's painful for everyone to stare at him blankly for 40 minutes, unable to process anything. Sure man, the guy might be an absolute genius with a thousand patents and great technical advice, but what is the point in making people sit through this stuff? By the way, he's not a 30 year old, he's senior aged, so it's not like they're doing this as a form of exposure therapy to reform his speech; all of this has to be voluntary from him. But goddamn why?

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
This is actually not the stupidity of my wife, but the stupidity of her employer. They ask her to go on a business trip in May. She just booked the trip. Now they go back and say please cancel the booking, and to re-book the trip in April (Q2), when it likely costs more, because they don't want to recognize the cost in Q1. Nevermind the trip is like 0.00000% of company financials and etc.

So i had no idea about this, but apparently the value of federal gold (eg ft knox) is valued, based on old ass decree, at $40/oz. Thats about 80x below market value. Which means that the govt has almost 1 trilly in gold, instead of just 10B. Which is 3% of US Debt. So they got that going for them, which is nice.

Yeah, Bessent has not been coy on his comments about the stock market. The heated bond market (as flight from equities and/or expectation of lowering rate in response to economy) is good for the treasury in reducing the cost of rolling over the debt coming due soon. And theres a gigantic mountain of it due, in part to the recent administrations issuing them as shorter maturity bills and notes.

I enjoy the dicing. It's the peeling of onions and carrots and garlic and trimming the ends and cleaning the shreds of skin and washing of the board that slowly triggers my curmudgeonliness. There's an appeal to just tossing shit together just to do the actual cooking. Hence the growth of the meal kit business.- 2021 UFC/MMA thread
Ank earned it and deserved it. Lots of people were unhappy with the fight. I think its more that they were unhappy with the result? It was a good, tense, striking match for 4.5rds and stall grappling for 0.5rds but thats why its called mma ?- Electric Cars
This would be the neatest commuter car, but i didnt know that it was never in the US, or that honda killed it entirely https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46104688/honda-e-ending-production/- Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Spacer is furthermost away from you when facing the device with sideways port- Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I really miss living next to a major airport hub. From my current residence, anywhere we need to fly are all best served by a hodgepodge of nickel- and diming- discount carriers. For leisure, for work, short haul, medium haul, doesnt matter. No full-service legacy/flagship carriers unless flying long-haul, and thats with a minimum of 1 stop for basically anywhere.- Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I identified with this meme for a long time, until one day it dawned on me the plastic spacer thing is meant to go on bottom. Once you realize that, hit rate goes up to 90%- The Italy Thread
Anyone have memorable pizzas in Rome? I wanna sample all of the top favorites but have limited time. Tried Nerone, Ai Marmi, Dar Poeta. Only one I want to revisit is Bonci (serving al taglio squares).- Shit I've Cooked Lately
Get rich business idea: sell sprouts that are halved with the outermost layer already peeled.- Spain--April 2018
Thats a good sampler. Depending on what you’ve booked and how you plan to get around, I might swap Madrid for Basque country because you’ve already got BCN for a big city. The other cities will be for regional/cultural exposure. - Markets still falling like whoa
