I did it (we called it 6x12s) for about 2-3 years in my 30s. At the time it felt worth it; food, lodging, and transportation were all covered as well. I don’t really regret it most days but looking back years later I think it may have damaged friendships more than I’d realized until recently.

There’s no fucking way I’d do it now. Now I’m just one bad day away from rage quitting and retiring. Unfortunately I’m in a great position with a great boss and a reasonable work load and ample coverage and support and never been denied time off so that bad day isn’t likely to come anytime soon.

I can’t think of an explanation for the periodic grid like clusters. Anyone?

I’m familiar with it. I have (“had” actually) family with it. Just trying to understand if OP was referencing something in particular.

It sounds like OP was cursing this guy with the disease they have. So not random then.

Is this a reference to something in particular or just picking a random shitty disease?

On first read this sounded like you were challenging the basis of the previous comment. But then you went on to provide a couple of your own examples.

So on that basis after rereading your comment, it sounds like maybe you’re actually looking for recommendations.

Ive seen a lot of praise for Kagi over the past year. I’ve finally started playing around with the free tier and I think it’s definitely worth checking out.

Microsoft confirmed to The Verge that it has implemented some form of email changes to reduce “politically focused emails” inside the company

“$800 million worth”?
“Nobody wants”?

Sounds like creative accounting…
