I guess it depends on the labor market, it could mean more competition for the same pool of game developers.
Jokes on them, we used IVF, they got picked for who knows what reason under a microscope.
From your most photogenic swimmer.
This is my time to shine, my body is full of useless, I can:
I’d love to see more content and engagement. It’s hard when you’re a niche community within a niche platform. More posts amongst the same small set of voices may or may not end up leading to meaningful engagement.
Perhaps a parallel question to consider that ties in with your goal of helping more people improve their financial lives: What content would attract new members to the community? Naively the back to basics type focus seems like something that could be welcoming for newcomers, even just explaining what FIRE is and how the (Shocking Simple™) math works.
Honestly it’s a shame there wasn’t a meaningful migration of FIRE folks from reddit to lemmy.
Peelastic is stored in the balls.
Formal attire, old computers, and over the top weapons. I just like the concept.
I’m pretty sure all insect fragments, rodent droppings, and the like all vanish as soon as they cross the EU border in accordance with food safety regulations. /s
I did start reading into said EU regulations a bit, but I won’t ruin your day.
I enjoyed the show as a kid and only found out about the comic later as an adult. It’s probably why the show sticks with me and I don’t remember much about the comic.
I’ll let you know when it happens. 😅 I’m solidly in OMY syndrome.
I think I’ll stop in the next year or three, but that might just be the one more year syndrome talking.
Why I think I’ll do it:
You’re not going to be encouraged by everything else they allow.
Though I think (anyone feel free to jump in if I’ve got it wrong) that the coffee limits are not 10% non-coffee matter by weight but rather 10% of beans demonstrating insect damage/infestation/mold. This is not exactly reassuring, but it’s almost certainly far less insects than 10% of your coffee bag’s weight being ground up buggies. You can read about the FDA’s coffee analysis process which is interesting, if somewhat opaque.
For those not aware it was a comic first, which if I recall correctly the cartoon only covers the first half of or so.
I’ll have you know roachfee is a sustainable alternative to pure coffee. /s
More seriously it looks like this is primarily based on anecdotes and was directed at ground coffee vs whole beans.
I don’t know, it looks pretty sturdy to me.
… Now I’m curious how you change the oil.
I have a fire pit in my backyard that I enjoy, does that count?
Definitely wait for the second or third version, you don’t want to pay the early adopter tax.
Yeah, the time to heat has been my only real complaint. I know you can get point of use solutions to eliminate that too but that’s even more $$. Going tankless and remodeling one of the bathrooms to be a wet room was a big value add now that we’ve got two little kids who splash everywhere and have to be dragged out.
I realized it’s been just over seven years since I started pursuing FIRE proper. Prior to that I was saving and thought about retiring early but without much of a framework or depth. Since then our net worth has gone up five fold. Our lifestyle has also inflated a bit, we’ve bought a house and had kids. I’m contemplating pulling the trigger in the next year or two, or at least stepping back and changing what I’m optimizing for with work (eg. less hours and stress, more enjoyment and balance).
Looking back at some old mint emails I had about an early retirement goal I’d setup it’s fun to see how far I am ahead of that timeline and also how much lower the target was.
