  • Probably going to be Lost. I’m 3 episodes in as of 2008 and haven’t gone back yet…if I ever do, it will be the longest to get into for me by far.

    In seriousness though…As others have said, The Office and Parks & Rec took me about a season to get into.

    Arrested Development, I admit, took me a few episodes.

    Always Sunny took me about a season…I think just to get into a groove of the style or something, I dunno.






  • I have 4 different bank accounts that I use primarily (technically 10 total). What I do is split up my direct deposits and/or schedule transfers so that everything is bucketed. One account for fixed monthly bills, one for variable things like groceries, one for savings, and one for whatever I want, etc.

    I put a little more than necessary in each account each month, so every so often I may have a surplus for a given bucket, too. This will either go towards the accelerated payoff of something or I’ll split the difference and move half to my fun bucket.

    For the most part, this keeps necessary money (bills and savings) out of sight or mind and it’s easier to control my impulse spending when the only account I can/should be spending from has a low limited amount.




  • 3x base salary at least. No-thought commute, so maybe provide transportation for me. I currently live what is about 1.5hrs away each way now and there isn’t a public transportation option.

    Commute time should count towards my “8 hour work day”. No distracting desk drive bys. Provided breakfast and lunch or an optional lunch stipend or whatever to cover if I go somewhere near the office.

    Not sounding great for the company? It isn’t meant to. It would be nearly impossible to get me to go back to the office, as it should be.

    I’m not being unreasonable. I am at least twice as productive since working from home and even simple internal reports can prove that. I’m also 2-3x happier and less stressed, nothing can really replace that.



  • Agreed!

    SMS via 3rd party apps has and always will be buggy in some way, shape, or form, at least on Android. No clue why. Since the dawn of Android phones and after some 25-30 Android-specific phones owned in my life, I’ve yet to use a non stock SMS app that worked flawlessly all the time. Closest I’ve come, unfortunately, is Google Messages, and even that isn’t perfect.

    My parents use Signal and are the most tech averse people I know, so it isn’t that hard. I converted all my friends to Signal. Switched wife to Signal.

    SMS is maybe 3% of my usage these days and about 2% of that is just restaurant reservations or spam. There are two people I message via SMS like once a quarter and that’s it.

    It’s one pixel per user per timeframe, not one pixel per timeframe - if that makes sense.

    Outside of that, it’s likely timestamped to the milliseconds on the server side, so it’d be pretty rare for two users to hit the exact same pixel at the same time and millisecond (or fractional millisecond). And even if, the server would still process one first, not both at the same time.

    For some larger coordinations, there are bots that one can use to achieve swaths of changes very close together.
