Idk numbers, but that big 'un looks bigger than the one that made my doc say "Oh, wow. You're VERY allergic to dogs."

Every weekday I clock in to an echo chamber of "people who want to develop, build, and operate utility-scale battery storage in exchange for money and a health care plan"

You're welcome to join so long as you commit to the code of conduct. The great news is it's a really simple code (be nice to tess, support efforts to be nice to tess, do not support efforts to be not-nice to tess)

What's it go into? Is it for doping silicon to make the transistors?

Oh, I didn't look closely at it and I thought it was a fabric cutting board! Makes sense, those wouldn't have circles on them

Hmm. Pay attention to my body & the headache it's giving me and go to bed, or buy PokΓ©mon Pokopia and stay up til (past) 10 to play it on release

Tough choice

so a month of this war is about a year of USAID

Here's my basic theory on updating priors and the truth:

People update their priors when the benefits of updating their priors are greater than the costs.

You might reasonably point out that the truth has benefits. And it does. But they can be very small if the truth is not actionable.

HMU if you have any Qs / would like to see how I approach it / want to bounce an idea off someone. I'd be glad to hop on a screen-share on Discord or w/e if helpful.

Also, if you haven't kicked off a trial yet I can give you a referral link that gives us both a free month if you decide to keep it

And having a very good system is far, far less important than having a system *that works for you*, whatever that looks like.

I pay annual and it's worth it for me, but I also probably have too many accounts w/ various institutions. There are some good free options out there. I used to use Goodbudget's free level, but reconciling my records manually was getting hairy. The app is less important than having a system, though

If this is more than a rhetorical Q, I'd be glad to share some tips / how I manage things. It's mostly YNAB (which automatically pulls together my bank and CC transactions) and a spreadsheet to handle my personal budgeting quirks that YNAB isn't exactly built for
