That point about context switching most of it to me. A meeting with engineers is so expensive focus time wise. A meeting with managers is just another meeting.

I prefer to think of my manager as my agent. They have my best interest at heart, only want me to succeed, and do the messy work so I can keep focusing at what I’m good at.

My team has as engineering manager and a product manager. I also don’t like being told what to do, but whenever I’m pulled into one of these many meetings for some reason, I’m so grateful to have them

That’s calculator doesn’t take into account the crust ratio, which is much higher for smaller pizzas too.

Factor in the crust ratio of those though. We’re talking 1.5 inch of crust, so 16" vs 12" is actually more like comparing 13" to 9" of pizza with cheese and topping. 132 v 64 square inches. You’re getting 70 squares inches of crust on that 16", and 49 square inches of crust on the 12 inch. So more total food on 2 12s, but a lot more crust than one 16.

This is why, if you order pizza, getting anything less that the absolute largest size they offer is throwing your money away. Leftover pizza is great.

Redbacks are better cheaper blundstones, also made in Australia.

Starter boot? Get some redwings. The best? Whites or Nick’s. It’s worth a trip to Spokane to get sized, then they make the boots to you.

Wait, how are the illiterate who aren’t in poverty doing it?

Why? What’s funny about it?

What’s to love about it?

Can you explain why?

Uh, Chernobyl is in Ukraine. So… Chernobyl was Ukraine’s Chernobyl.

Soup is good food.

Same, it’s an objectively bad show.

I can’t see my eyes.
