Good advice!
I came across a quote once that said “Read non-fiction to raise your floor. Read fiction to raise your ceiling.”

Also generally speaking when your face looks like this, people want to take cool pictures of you
today I learned that my favorite coffee shop in Austin doesn't give tips from the POS to their baristas -- those tips go to the house, while only the cash tips go to baristas
the split is likely 99% of tips via card vs 1% cash, because no one carries cash anymore
this is wrong
@anothercohen
30 people is ~1.5% of their workforce. Seems about what you’d expect, no?
Also, what’s up with the patronizing tones and finger wagging from CEOs this week? Bizarre

Yea I found a dead bird on our table outside bc apparently it flew into our window…animal control asks you to put it in a paper bag and leave it by the mailbox and I took similar precautions
WORD OF THE DAY: SPAGHETTIFICATION. The vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes caused by extreme tidal forces. If interested in experiencing, find the galaxy’s nearest black hole and jump in.

The sad part is that no one can articulate what the supposed risk is of children getting HepB by sharing toys at daycare, it’s just a “better safe than sorry” line of thinking where they can’t even define safe
@Historycourses
This is less so a commentary on what does/doesn’t work, and more so an intimate look at how unresolved childhood traumas show up in how we parent
He goes from one extreme (helicoptering) to make up for how he was treated, to another — totally aloof, disinterested, and detached,

There’s an awesome documentary on Netflix called Surviving Death and one of the episodes is on this guy and specific cases! It’s fascinating stuff
The answer to your question is that scientists fear ruining their careers. A good book on this is The Spiritual Lives of Scientists
Update: the official reason that the review was removed was because it was “retaliatory”
apparently, a 100% factual review is unacceptable, but a host’s fraudulent claim that we stole items from the property, among other things, is totally fine
make it make sense 🤌🏼
@RX_forLiberty
Great question, especially since 99% of infants in the west are not high risk (e.g. born to mothers with Hep B or living with carriers of Hep B)
@LeaMaric
This is big T Trauma stuff. Good callout by someone who said his pattern throughout life was just being “done”
It’s sad that there are many out there who would kill to reconcile with their loved one and he just can’t face his pain to do so

Purple in the sense that it’s a red state with blue cities, which is far better for upward mobility (compared to blue states), particularly for minorities
@Lukewearechange
I think there are a few reasons, namely, early harvesting, chemical ripening, and preference for cultivars that have less sugar content which allows for a longer shelf life

Interesting
60,000 pediatricians in the US. I wonder if some of the $2.6m charity pool for a debate that likely won’t ever happen is better served buying a copy of the Turtles book and shipping it to every pediatrician’s office
Lol a small town
People have a love/hate relationship with cruises but it’s not a terrible deal
If you have kids, it’s an easy way to relax:
- food in one spot
- no car rental / car seats needed
- rooms nearby for naps
- endless entertainment for kiddos
- parents can drink, no
Late stage capitalism is so absurdly comical at times.
This new cruise ship has:
- 23 restaurants
- 22 bars / clubs
- 7 full sized pools + 9 hot tubs
- Full waterpark
- Rock climbing wall
- Ice skating rink
- Surf simulator
- Golf course
- Basketball court
- Rooms for

Scrappy candidate scoring framework for early stage: -2 to +2
-2 would not hire and I’d be upset if we did
-1 would not hire but can be convinced otherwise
NO ZEROS
+1 would hire but can be convinced otherwise
+2 would hire and I’d be upset if we didn’t

It’s a combination of vitamin d deficiency (underlying factor in all disease) due to spending dramatically less time in the sun + poor sun hygiene (e.g. burning every time we do spend time in the sun)
@Aella_Girl
yes,
you’ll need to upload a scrip from a doctor in the states (sometimes it’s trial and error to find one that will just write it) and they order the drugs for you. no need to test as they buy in bulk from manufacturers; the drugs are MUCH cheaper, too.
Is it possible that

’s policy is to take any & all actions, including those that proactively endanger future customers, as long as it benefits their bottom line?
Where is the transparency? This isn’t caring or open, contrary to what Airbnb’s values would have you believe

This means “we don’t actually know how safe this combo of vaccines/injections are, but we’ll have a better idea after we roll it out to millions, and in any case, we’ll always deny links to injuries, illness, or death linked to vaccines”
And I don’t think people are evil I just
I'm looking for a Chief of Staff to the CEO/co-founder of a pre-seed company building the OS for small business ownership
3 co-founders on the team, all with prior successful exits
Candidate specs:
- maniacal about operations
- up to $150k base salary
- McKinsey, BCG, or Bain
I Iove when companies have COOs and are thinking of hiring a Chief of Staff.
The first question I get from founders is usually "what's the difference?"
Here's what I've found ↓

• COO: Their team's performance
• Chief of Staff:
something i've become quite sensitive to: egos
can sense them within 5-10 seconds of meeting someone. obvious signs relate to attitude or the general vibe, but subtler ones are when the person just talks about themselves the whole time
personally, i find it *really* exhausting
@girdley
Love this entire thread!! Especially important:
- the distinction between a CoS & EA
- top qualities (everyone wants the GSD candidate)
- where to find one (if your tweets don't bring all the milkshakes to the yard like

"what is the benchmark salary for a Chief of Staff?"💰
by far this is the most common question I get from founders and CEOs I work with (and otherwise)!
I think my parents did an amazing job at protecting me from a lot of terrible realities & societal influences as a kid
We’re living in a different time today, but I think the key is keeping kids off social media for as long as possible
Maybe no phones until they’re teenagers?
Some of you might know this already, but I launched Right Hand Talent exactly 1 year ago at the beginning of my second trimester! 🤰🏼
(I like to say “we did all the things simultaneously in 2023” 😂)
Since then, I had the opportunity to become a mom, take some time off, and of

We stayed there for a month and there were 2 drug raids with SWAT, including this
the reason for the stay was to check out different burbs in Miami to see if we liked them enough to move there
this, along with other things, is related to the location of the property

yea this happened to me with an energy healing toward the end of an aya experience. the shaman said I had an energetic hole and I felt exactly where it was (on my side) without telling him
then he went to the *exact* spot and did his magic to seal it. mind blown to this day
I was up at 3am today and figured I’d create a thread of some best-kept Austin secrets for everyone to enjoy while they’re in town for SXSW! 🤠
Here are some of my favorite Italian, Mexican, Asian, breakfast, coffee, and ice cream spots to hit up while you’re in ATX! 👇🏼
