- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 1 week ago:

- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 2 weeks ago:
Get that bait gel. They eat it then die back in the walls where others eat it and die.
Glue traps.
Seal up everything. Foam for the larger gaps, caulk for everything else. All baseboards.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
- Comment on what's the best material for wiping out a cast iron skillet? 4 weeks ago:
Modern soaps lack the phosphates that really mess with cast iron. I typically do this.
Little bit of water, heat on high until it boils most things off the pan.
Scrape with metal spatula and stick items.
Hit it lightly with soap and sponge.
Dry with paper towel.
Spray with oil.
Wipe oil all sides.

Yeah, heat pumps use a lot of energy when running. They are the most efficient way to cool your home though.
Only an electric water heater or clothes dryer compares to the amount of electricity they use.
You can improve your homes insulation or set your thermostat higher if you want to reduce the amount used.
- Comment on Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed? 5 weeks ago:
Silica is expected to survive for thousands of years in nearly any temperature, humidity, and chemical environment
Thousands of years is very different than 1 million years.
- Comment on Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed? 1 month ago:
Even things that seem like they won’t ever change don’t last. Erosion, tectonic plate movement, natural decay of atoms.
Even giant letters written inside of a mountain won’t last.
Best you can do is create a simple structure that takes intelligence to create with the only purpose being to show that you once existed.

- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 1 month ago:
- finding and hiring staff will be harder
- attracting top tier talent will be harder
- rent will be more expensive
- childcare will require more sick leave
- illness will require more sick leave
- expanding to new territories will be harder
The c-suite evaluated the cost of rent pretty good and had an existing problem of not being able to hire above average younger talent because the work they were doing was pretty boring. Advertising a good hybrid wfh policy (once a week or once a month in-office depending on different factors) has brought in good people.
Basically, they saw that it was bringing in cash.
The biggest challenge has been getting new hires integrated well with existing team leaders.
There’s also team leaders that refuse to use Teams/zoom, but also don’t answer their phone. In the past you could corner them in their office but now they sort of anchor their team. It’s mostly self-repairing as they stagnate and other teams flourish.

- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 1 month ago:
No.
I’m watching Jean Claude Van Damme’s filmography right now. He’s a trained fighter. He was taught to act, but was never really good at it.
- Comment on What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer? 1 month ago:
