In Orlando, if you go to disney and you are a techie, it is a must see, is a company called SkyCraft Surplus. They go to companies who are getting rid of old equipment and resell it. Some stuff is new, much of it unused. Brought a friend there (EE major) and he was fascinated by the fact that they had a lot of old Radio Shack chips, diodes etc.
Tell them I sent you and they will ... well nothing, but I am happy to support them, as it brings me much joy whenever I visit.
From HR perspective it might be the best place to work.
I would look at glassdoor.
Realize it could be great and awful depending on where you work. HR could be great while IT could suck. I interviewed at a place that on glassdoor was listed very well. But when I examined the reviews in detail. Everywhere BUT IT had nothing but praise. IT was a dumpster fire, probably why they were hiring.
Valid point. I am often amazed the reports (all sides of the political aisle) will list a number without context. Twice as many as last year. Went from 1 to 2, and we want you to be upset. It forces me to check multiple sites to understand the real numbers.
In the past I have attributed this to people being bad with numbers, but it is more and more apparent it is to hid the real meaning and push an agenda.
I cannot speak to crypto, but as far as the others go:
Gold is at 4988 today, MAX was 5626... beginning of November it was 4000, so in 3 months up 25%, what do I care about the max it was for 5 seconds.
Silver is at 88 today, MAX was 122... beginning of November it was 48, so in 3 months up 80%, what do I care about the max it was for 5 seconds.
DOJ is at 49500 today, MAX was 5328... beginning of November it was 47500, so in 3 months up 4%, OMG now I am mad! That is only 16% average a year.... With inflation at 3%, a real rate of return is only 13%. I can laugh all the way to the bank on that one.
This is why dollar cost averaging is a critical method.
I was discussing market crashes with a friend. He pointed out that it took like 25 years to recover from the great depression. Which he was correct, if you put ALL of your money in the just a minute before the crash. If you had been doing $100 a month for 2 or 3 years, your recovery was MUCH faster.
10K Pushup challenge
3 Key take a ways:
Use a spreadsheet to track
Start simple - if you can only do one pushup that is enough
Do it multiple times a day
I am past 1000, and feel great and my body shows it.
I love walking around as a mental break from thinking. Preferably solo, but when at work I typically invite others as it is the socially approved event and makes me feel like I am being a good person, despite rumors otherwise.
At home, for fun, I enjoy working with plants. I get a joy out of re potting plants. I especially love finding out an experiment to propagate a plant worked. Ask me about my random Christmas cactus success. I was so thrilled, 6 months later I brought in to work a dozen little plants to share.
