Tripping guy, "I was+6"

Sober partners, "Dude you were+21"


A couple of places I used my real name since I had no issue, or invite contacts.

Anywhere where I think my opinions might affect my income I stay anonymous. My name combo is very unique, so anything I post would be related to me.

Honestly it's a small world and anything could be sourced, just making it less casual.


In my 60's now, in my late 20's due to a layoff I ended up taking a year long "Sabbatical".

It wasn't planned and I didn't have the finances setup but I made it work and spent my time doing volunteer work, some personal spiritual exploration and low cost travel.

Granted, single, no one needing me for anything, so your mileage may vary.

For me, best decision ever. I really enjoyed getting to point of not knowing what day it was.


I was interviewed by the Union Trib in the late 80's about home affordability.

Between the Sunshine Tax and thin strip of land that everyone wants to live in, and there is no solution to affordability. (Except the usual go So Cal go east until the price drops)


Yeah, you can’t even use density all that well near the coast since everyone will sue if you block their view by building higher and coastal erosion/earthquake safety increases the cost a lot. The best idea I’ve had is more inland density paired with bike highways and transit so people can go to the beach without spending 40 minutes inching around PB looking for cheap parking.


As other have said, PLM and CAD tools are very pricey.

Palantir is a recent hight water mark I've seen as well.


I was seeing the same with my Pixel Buds. I've started to give them a little extra nudge when I put them back in the case and that has seemed to eliminated the issue for me.


I’ve had to move around my airpods to get them to charge but often times when i close the case they stop charging. I will never again Apple headphones.


If you're "supposed to know", I would assume enough use to not need to brush up. Brushing up implies not used enough to keep in the mental model.


Knowing != passing the interview. They are in different layers. Any cs student would know about things like the hashmap, stack, queues, linked list. You encounter those data structures everyday especially when you are doing debugging the source code.

That's still different compare to interview though because you need to explain, code, solve a question under 20-30 minutes. It's not hard if given enough time. But most people would need to practice some questions before going into those questions so that they can solve those under the time limit.


Old guy 911's, gotta love it.

61 here.

Had a Miata myself, have shifted to SLK's same fun, slightly bigger, some with very large horsepower.


Curious what state did you leave for, and why the exit back?

Reason, live on NoCal and plotting where/what next options. Also know that for us at this point in life that leaving CA is a one way ticket.


Have done a couple of sleep studies, no apnea, but snored terribly. (Have snored my whole life)

During the studies they had me try a CPAP, none chance I would ever be able to wear one. I have a strong gag reflex.

I've worn a number of mouth guards, all fitted by my dentist. I wore them for about 25 years. Absolutely noticed the change in my bite, but was will to put up with it to allow my wife to sleep at night.

I've now changed out to device that holds my tongue. Much less stress on my jaw and works just as well as any of the mouth guards.


Which device do you use? I'm also a heavy snorer, but tested for apnea and came back negative. I've used a mouth guard that was supposed to be fitted but the drooling and the jaw pain makes it impossible for me to use consistently.


I'm using the Aveo, https://na.aveotsd.com/

I'm a pretty big drooler when getting dental work, and I'm ok wearing this device.


does it hurt your gums much?


Not at all.

It only contacts my tongue and then my lips.

It took a couple of nights finding the correct position, how far in to stick my tongue, from there it's been no issue.

Less complicated than any of the mouth pieces.


Thank you! I'll give it a try :)
