I disagree, other than a few notable counter examples most times folks are only successful when they build reliable business relationships. Most relationships will dissolve if one party is playing games.

On average it's more effective to follow "The No Assholes Rule". There's plenty of studies (referenced in the book Good To Great) that indicate that humble business leaders produce build more stable and long term profitable companies.

Lying manipulators can sometimes get ahead but just as often they get found out and blackballed.

I think it might be like a game theory type situation where if everyone is honest, then the first liar might get ahead a lot (although I suspect in that situation they'd immediately be shunned by all honest folk if found out). If everyone is a liar then honest folk have nothing to hide and probably will just be really defensive in their dealings.

Hey this looks like my Dwarf Fortress entrance (when I use tile mods)

Ah that makes sense. Do you like the taste better?

It's surprising to me it's more expensive to make at home with the same ingredients. Are you making the beans from dry, and shredding the cheese?

I used my old standby QMK and just wrote the config with cursor/vim.

Here's a cool picture of my soldering job, I didn't test it until the end, and it all worked first try!

 

I wanted a dedicated keyboard to control my home assistant for lights and stuff. Inside the junk drawer I had enough extra switches and a spare RP Pico, so I printed this enclosure.

This time I kept it super simple, just soldered right to the switches, no lights, 3x4.

Now it's up on my desk, and I've got a few unused keys for expansion!

This is one of my comfort movies from a six month hike. I'd crash in a hotel every so often and use a Chromecast to stream the MTS3K version. I love the southern robot

I'm playing through Another Crabs Treasure and this post gives me flashbacks

walk this way hobbles up stairs, looks back

the doctor hobbles along the same way

I must say though, that movie kind of creeped me out as a kid. I really didn't like the blind man just trying to be nice but everything going wrong.

"the poor dopamine seeker, I fear his long-standing obsessions have affected him"

 

I have managed to maintain a low bar squat 4x4 at 1.5x my bodyweight for the last five sessions! This is the longest I've held this weight without dropping off or getting hurt.

This time, I'm doing everything right:

  • good sleep
  • lots of healthy food (caloric surplus)
  • enough protein
  • squatting 1-2x a week (I need a longer recovery)

I have a goal for the rest of the year. Right now, my squat+bench+deadlift working weight total is 650. I really want to get my working weight total to over 750 by December!

I'll keep posting here with updates!

Right now I weigh in at 150lb, up from about 145lb when I started lifting heavy again this time last year. All the veggies, fiber, and protein has really gotten me stronger with more visible muscles, and only a small increase to my waist.

 

It's roughly 6 weeks till the final frost here in 7b.

I have a spot of grass and ivy that I want to turn into an annual veg garden. I'm waiting on soil nutrient results.

My current plan is to silage tarp all the grass and ivy for 3-4 weeks. Then cover with any needed amendments, 2 inches of compost, 4 inches of wood chips, then tarp again for the remaining 2-3 weeks. When the final frost passes, transplant out my annuals.

After the growing season I'll cover crop with peas, clover, vetch, oats. Repeat next year.

Does this make sense? Am I missing anything?

 
 
 

Switched my desktop last weekend from Ubuntu to Bazzite on my Nvidia 1070. It's been a great week, everything runs so much faster and smoother!

I was able to bump my main game Predecesor from all Low to all Medium settings while still keeping 60fps.

Discord runs faster, Spotify feels snappier. All in all I'm really digging it.

That's all, just wanted to say I'm enjoying it and it's working well for me.
