Ugh, group projects in college were just the worst even before AI. In the real work environment, if someone doesn't show up, doesn't do any work, or is just not good at their job, they can be fired. In college group projects they just drag everyone else down and either people do their work for them or others get a bad grade.

Yeah I have done some trips before, max was 8 days with 85-100 miles each day, some decent elevation (max 11k feet in a day, but others around 5-6k) pretty bad weather, mix of paved and gravel. No chance I’m coming anywhere close to Lachlan’s time on GDMBR but I do need to finish in under 40 days.

This guy was using Rockbros bags and rack and I’m wondering if I should swap out my Tailfin for a more durable OMM rack…

I have 2500 miles so far this year and could do a century any random day without preparation and I’m doubting whether or not I can do GDMBR, meanwhile this guy didn’t even own a bike, didn’t even do more than 30 miles once he did, and just set off across the country. I guess I should just do it.

This is a fair bit easier as a remote worker, but even in-office you would just sandbag your time rather than publishing the finished work immediately. In-office it's more likely that you would waste time on the internet rather than working on a personal project though.

> many people do not brush their teeth

many? (!!!)

Googling it all I found was one dentist website that said 2%, but didn't seem that reliable

Grenfell Tower was "fireproof", and yet...

I have a sub-40 week at one of the big tech companies, idk why this article is being so confident that we are all pushing 80 hours?

We are tech workers, we need time to go to the bouldering gym and to take our Patagonia hoodies to see the outdoors.

Is this a thing about how restaurants in some European countries charge for water?

https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

It says “based on” in the README, which could just mean “inspired by”, but it’s also in the license so I thought that it was an actual fork. Looking at the actual history would reveal the answer, but idk, works basically the same.

There is a maintained fork called “Rectangle” now.
