A slow-burn read by learning Japanese first. This one will take me while.


Which one, if you can recall? I love interactive books.


It’s a worthy story. Lots of little Easter eggs.


Write a book where the spine is a required piece of the story for its understanding or completion.
Kind of like how House of Leaves is best enjoyed with the actual book.


I don’t understand. Someone read this to me.
Ahh, fair. I misread that.
The US went off the gold standard in 1971 and OP is talking about 10 years ago, so 2016.
Disregard. The commenter is referring to the 100 or so years ago.


Explains the seemingly random PW reset request email I received the other day.
Use a hardware security token for 2FA and sleep easy at night.


The constituent parts of gunpowder are sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. None of these chemicals are psychoactive in humans.


Well, part of that is owed to the fact they were basically using a speaking code, Cockney.


It comes with customizable alarm clock snooze, right? Right…?

Clockwise and anticounterclockwise


Or to Stranger in a Strange Land, at least the very beginning.


When you borrow $1M from the bank, it’s your problem. When you borrow $100M, it’s the bank’s problem.


I heard there is a browser extension which does this


In the era before the average net worth of a Congress person was in the tens of millions, it made sense because it prevented them from their wages being held hostage.


You’re facing an extra tough time right now because computing has optimized the hiring process so much, it’s difficult to get your foot in the door, and geopolitics are complicating things.
You’ll need to keep in mind that 21 is still quite early in your life, and the world and pop culture really pushes an “instant success” mindset that sets all the wrong expectations.
You’ll need to do several things, unfortunately all at once. First, deeply understand personal finances. Understand that you need to “pay yourself first” (savings/investments) and then what’s left over is what you have to manage expenses and debts. If you keep yourself out of debt you’re better off.

You’re going to have to continue school. You need an Associate’s at a minimum. Go to a public community or municipal college. With an AA from here, most states will grant you automatic admission to public state universities. Research this. Regardless of what your views are on the utility of college degrees, you have to play the game. A college degree is a clearing house to larger companies. Trade school, is another option.
You’re going to have to work, to finance your costs of living plus your education investments, unless you’ve got someone or some financial instruments which let you focus on school.
With respect to college specifically, you’ll get out of it what you put in. Many folks will say it’s a waste, that “they didn’t learn anything new” while they went through. Well, that just signals to me they phoned it in; maybe they got lucky and got a break on their job, too.
From there, you’ll have your personal finances on lock, and one or two degrees (AA and a BA, and maybe a certificate or two) and you’ll be much more competitive.
The real game changer after all this is networking. The saying goes: It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. The best jobs don’t get posted to corporate websites, or if they do, they’re posted for labor law compliance and they already have a candidate in mind. Become a master at socializing (≠ partying), hint: it’s mostly just listening to other people.
It takes time. Be patient. Stay focused. You’ll get there.
Just wait until you learn about companies which pay per diem when traveling.
