You keep saying storage isnt an issue, but having a large digital footprint is just more baggage to manage in future. I want to let these conversations/relationships evolve and change over time, I dont want to keep revisiting them at a certain point.

Each time I get a new phone, I go through and curate the photos/ files worth saving, back them up offline, then start fresh.

Just because you can store everything, infinitely, forever, doesnt mean you need to.

Remember to thank your unions for the weekend.

Textbook designers know this and use images, callout boxes and insets with case studies/graphs to break up text on pages so that your brain gets extra context to map 'what' to 'where'.

This is (imo) why infinite scroll and mixed order algorithm feeds are such brainrot (even if you are looking at educational content). You try to recall something you read but it was in an ephemeral location in an always changing stream of content.

It closes the loop holes where wealthy people approaching retirement would spend a few years paying very little tax and living off capital gains instead at a ~20% tax rate.

Coastal land much more expensive. If you go to a remote coastal site, you probably won't have as good access to power.

Coastal sites usually exposed to more severe weather events.

For every other 'sale', companies have access to incredibly amounts of pricing and behaviour data. Pricematching any consumer good for a deal is more or less dead, if you wait for a specific product go on sale, it will be at the same % across multiple sites (assuming they don't do SKU differentiation per retailer to say it isnt a like for like price match).

I frequently get flagged as suspicious activity and have to pass a captcha when trying to use the Google verbatim search function on a signed out Firefox browser on android.

I think also that 'bullshit jobs' are a side effect of large (not even ineffective) organisations. At a certain size, you end up with roles and abstractions that take you far away from what your employer actually produces/generates revenue from, and if you are in such a cost center it can be hard to see how your individual work is meaningful to the bottom line in any way.

Why is ok for your employer to make you complete additional tasks, draining you of your excess energy, but not increasing your salary at all?

When there exists this productivity/energy gap, the default US view seems to be you should give it up to the employer, but the article author is instead keeping it for himself.

Spent many years and many thousands of $$ on skincare products trying to figure that out. I now avoid dairy and have excellent skin.

It is only packet size restricted in supermarkets, you can still buy bulk packs from chemists.
