I hire electricians regularly. Driving a grounding rod is physically demanding. Moving conduit and hoisting it overhead for long runs is demanding. Carrying tools around, mounting light fixtures…and this is for light commercial work. It’s definitely not easy on the body and why older electricians want to transition in to design and engineering as opposed to field work.

Been on this thesis for the last few months. Any companies you think are interesting or have potential to grow during the energy crisis? Looking for more prospects to evaluate.

Drivers don’t keep surge pricing anymore. Goes to the platform.

What’s one example of this working in the last 10 years?

This sounds like the equivalent of “get rich dropshipping”.

This is a PAGA lawsuit. Person filing it will get quite rich.

Ah, I’m in this boat. My advice: stop trying to force a job. Explore your interests until you find a spark. Talk to a lot of people about what they’re up to. Maybe you want to go on one of their journeys for a bit.

This was 100% my experience. The assistant teachers had no experience with anything beyond goenka vipassana courses. Was not helpful when I was encountering partial dissolution of the Self and high bliss states.

Thank you for the recommendations! I've been looking at my next retreat and this is the second time Spirit Rock has come up. The goenka retreat was very harsh, very insightful, but ultimately lacking in teacher quality. From what I could gather the teachers available to me had only ever meditated in the vipassana style and were not particularly helpful.

Question: have you sat for a retreat? The reason I’m asking is I’m curious if it’s a “dosage” issue.

I sat for a 10 day goenka retreat and was shocked at how psychedelic the experience was for how little warning I was given.

It’s a multi-billion dollar BK so they take a while to resolve. Payout amounts have been finalized and the deadline to provide your information is this week. I’m expecting a payment by EOY 2024.

Claim at the time of BK: 50 coins @ $100/ea. Was told that mtgox only had a small fraction of deposits left and there were non-depositor creditors suing. 10 years later and there’s ~20% deposit payouts happening in btc.

That’s roughly the situation. The trustee sold some of the coins so some will be cash.

Maybe whatever coins they recover increases in value substantially and creditors can be made ‘whole’ like with mtgox?

My claim in mtgox was worth ~$2000. I almost didn’t file because I was busy running a growing business. Today it is worth 150k. File the claim. You never know what it ends up being.

When I studied GR my professor said that Maxwell was close and had he not died young it would’ve been him.

This is my reality as well with a family member. The only real option is to move to a state that has more effective mental health laws. The self-destruction that takes place during episodes isn’t fun for the niece either. Similar to my situation the government doesn’t make conservatorship easy to obtain. The practical solutions (10 day forced stays with up to 180 days involuntary) are nowhere to be found. Instead the govt thinks the best option is for the person to go bankrupt, burn all social relationships, and put themselves on the streets for a few months every other year.

They temp banned the whitehouse press secretary for linking to the NYpost article about the Hunter laptop.

You’re hitting the nail on the head. Sustainable dietary changes require finding foods you like to eat. If you live in West Hollywood there is no shortage of delicious healthy meals you can go out and buy. Outside of similar environments you need to learn how to cook or the healthy meals available to buy at restaurants are going to taste terrible.

Who can listen to Chamath seriously after his SPAC fiascos?

It’s not that rare. I had it for ~18 months after a heavy trip at age 20. It’s dose dependent and can self-resolve. Even if it hadn’t self-resolved it didn’t substantially interfere with my life during that period.

You don’t need to be cynical about being agreeable. You can just have a positive disposition, smile when you sit down, and find the positives instead of surfacing the negatives. A lot of people get an ego kick feeling smarter than others because they’re more cynical.

I’m in the field as well. I own/manage multiple commercial properties. It’s in my post history.
