My cleaner just moves stuff to the side, cleans that area and slides them back. So at most it's like a few inches from where it was before or in the same general area. We have a really sweet lady come once a month and it's so nice to not worry about doing deep cleans. I do basic cleaning in between if stuff gets really dirty.

My family says your an adult the day you enjoy buying adult things. I just recently bought some good knives and glass food storage containers. I was super excited when they arrived. Video games and other fun things are exciting to buy myself but some good knives were next level.

Growing up our drier had an issue and when the repair man opened it up we found all the missing socks. The dryer only ate a sock once or twice a year but after so many years there was a good number in there.

From what I understand a lot of Hollywood contracts (for writers, actors, etc.) include residuals for tickets sold or views on streaming services. However, streaming services did not have to provide the actual numbers of streams so people couldn't determine how much money in residuals they were owed.

I believe there were also some questions about streamers fudging numbers to say shows were more/less watched than they actually were so it's a big step to knowing what's actually going on.

I think the problem is that no one can agree on what makes the world shitty. Some people think the rich should be taxed, some people think other people shouldn't have equal rights. And then other people are purposely using the disagreement to get what they want. It's a mess with no clear fix in sight.

Alcoholic drinks, for a good part of history, were safer to drink than water because its production includes a boiling step that kills bacteria. We know now that you have to boil or treat water before drinking but for most of history alcohol was safer.

I reply all to all work related emails because people will add someone who needs to be aware of what's happening and I may not realize this is important to them. If they don't want to be on the email they can ask me personally and I'll take them off the chain.

I never reply all (or at all) to company update posts (e.g. new hires/promotions/other bs). If you want to congratulate them do it privately. The whole company doesn't care.

If by a "mixed way" you mean 1-2 days in office, that would never work for a lot of people for the reasons below.

  1. You have to commute those days.
  2. You have to find child care but it's not consistent so your possibly paying more per day for the few days vs. getting a good rate for weekly.
  3. You have to carry all your equipment with you. (I personally have to carry my laptop plus the equipment I support which takes like 2 trips from the car to my desk plus time to set everything up.)
  4. Not all of team comes in the same day/same location, so your still on virtual meetings anyway.

To be fair a lot of this is my personal experience and other companies may work differently but for me, I'm staying fully remote. Good companies/teams make it work. If your company/team can't work like there are other issues at fault.

AI are already generating antibody treatments. Companies provide AI with the disease/issue and antibodies that kinda work, then have the AI generate antibodies to fix the disease/issue. The best antibodies are then made in a lab and tested in vitro. However, as somone else noted, antibodies/medications are patented, which is different than copyright. Patents can be done on the process of making the antibody so you patrent the final process of making the antibody, not the AI work to come up with which antibody to make. Source: I attended a Patent Law seminar on this a few months ago.

I think he means that when most people genuinely smile, the muscles around their eyes also pull up. However it looks like Mr. Beast is just pulling his lips into a smile and not his full face. This makes it feel like the smile isn't genuine.
