- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 11 months ago:
I also did not make the connection, after a 12 pack this lovely Friday night. OP is not wrong - even as someone who sometimes dashes for extra cash and hates people just like OP - but was thinking I missed some cultural reference.
- Comment on Will there be power issues if I plug an unpowered USB hub into a powered on or vice versa 11 months ago:
How high is the consumption of the devices? Probably better to invest in multiple powered hubs for this use case. Not that it couldn’t work, but you’re certainly increasing the odds of intermittent and damned difficult to troubleshoot problems by doing it as you described.
- Comment on How do I make myself smarter? 11 months ago:
Hang out with folks who are at least nominally more intelligent than you. Never be the most ignorant person in the room, nor the most intelligent / expressive.
That holds pretty true no matter your industry - and if you can identify the actual thought leaders in adjacent biz areas, so much the better.
Read. As much as possible. And then think about it, find the takeaways. The takeaways will be crap at first, but will improve rapidly.
Know your limits, but also know your cheat codes. Use the latter to gain admission to progressively more challenging circles.
There is no one on earth, and no series of events, from whom/which you cannot learn something. It might not be life changing, but it’s still worth searching for the worthwhile content.
