  Taking Vegetation of North America instead of Physics 2, as a science elective, was one of my worst college choices. Forestry students had multiple classes that overlapped while the handful of us CS majors simple had to wonder if the TA was messing with us when they picked up a twig in class and asked “what tree is this from”.

  Those numbers are accurate . I really don’t understand how more people I work with haven’t retired. I made sure to avoid too much lifestyle creep but I can imagine it’s addicting for some. I’m 40 and making the switch out of tech soon. I couldn’t imagine doing this another 10-20 years.

  The problem with tech is that you aren’t usually doing the thing that made you want to go into tech. For me this was creating things and solving interesting problems. Most of my days are meetings, dealing with clueless people and having to deal with leadership and product team changes that ruin already completed work. Thankfully being at large tech companies has enabled me to hopefully retire in my early 40s. I can then continue with tech in a way that is meaningful to me while also spending a lot more time outside. The PNW is beautiful and I intend to see much more of it .

  This looks amazing. I’ve been looking for restaurants that have these but am coming up short. Some places have pictures of them but nothing on current menus. Hoping I find somewhere.

  I’d like to know who needs a daily reminder.

  When I was in college I would make toast, put sauce and cheese on it, then microwave. We called it poor man’s pizza.
