As a med-school dropout, in his early 40s (left medicine two decades ago), I cannot even imagine having enough energy to even apply for medical school. At least in the United Hates of America, this is my jaded perspective.
I became an electrician, instead, with stints IBEW and self-employed residential. Lots of money-making opportunities, but lots of unlicensed competition from handymen that "know just enough to be dangerous" — most customers only care if the light turns on, not that it's long-term safe.
I'm actually attempting to get into officework, somewhere. I can't do another twenty years of physical construction, whether in houses or factories.
>Are you self-employed now?
Yes, but I choose not to work regularly.
Fortunately, I have enough savings to not be too worried — presuming the economy picks up within the next few years (I can outlast this presidency, doing nothing).
I was scrolling around to see if I can find someone else that thought the same.
In my usage of melatonin, it's only when I'm super stressed and can't seem to calm down enough to sleep.
BigQuery ELT, the org I went to was rather immature in their data practice, and I sold them on getting some proper orchestration (Dataform, their preference over DBT, and Airflow), and keeping the architecture coherent.
I'd have rather stuck with Spark just because I prefer Scala or Python to SQL (and that comes with e.g. being far easier to unit test), but life happened and that ecosystem was getting disrupted anyway.
Cook your food. I realize some people prefer it raw but from what I understand, cooking food kills ecoli. My family has eaten lettuce that has had ecoli reports but we usually thoroughly cook or vegetables.
1. Tear the lettuce into large pieces, boil it for half a minute, and wipe off the water.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon each of oyster sauce and water, 1 teaspoon each of soy sauce and sesame oil, put it in the microwave for 20 seconds, and pour it over the lettuce.
Reminds me when I was Amazon, one of our tablets was codenamed Thor. We could ask the device what it's codename was and we special cases some functionality for the tablet we built. But it was the same code we used for the android app and it turned out some other tablet manufacturer used the codename Thor and all of a sudden the code was super broken on that device.
> Long queues of cars were stuck outside Grand Canyon National Park over President's Day weekend, one day after the mass firing, due to a lack of toll operators to check people in at the gate.
I was there over Presidents Day weekend. The first day I went in (around 3pm) there was zero wait. The second day I went (around 10am), I had to wait 10 minutes. All the booths seemed open. I didn't find this matched up with my experience at all.
The argument I use to convince people is to ask them how long your battery lasts when you’re running any apps, I’ll then ask how long do you think your battery would last if the apps were listening all day long.
I can’t tell if my friends are convinced or if they’re too polite (or disinterested) to argue.
When I was 45, I did briefly consider making the switch
