The biggest problem I see with this is staying current and sharp with your tech skills and also explaining those gaps. It’s definitely possible though, especially if you’re able to live frugally.

I’ll probably quit next week, this one has been rough. I’m not addicted though.

After all, one can’t complain. I have my friends. Somebody spoke to me only yesterday. And was it last week or the week before that Rabbit bumped into me and said ‘Bother!’ The Social Round. Always something going on.

NDAs generally prohibit you from stating that you are under NDA.

Better to be cryptic “I can’t really go into details due to my clearance”.

I hope your eggs are newer than your bills.

The beans stay in the safe, everyone knows this.

I mean, it’s their names.

In 1869, Goldman Sachs was founded by Marcus Goldman in New York City in a one-room basement office next to a coal chute. In 1882, Goldman’s son-in-law Samuel Sachs joined the firm.

The lack of hair on the knuckles is the strangest part to me.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that smoking (including exposure to secondhand smoke) is linked to around 480,000 deaths per year in the United States.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), roughly 40,000 people die in motor‐vehicle crashes in the US each year.

Smoking accounts for roughly 12 times more deaths annually than motor vehicle accidents in the US

I envision a website where you can get a Trump Bible and a pardon all in the same transaction. And you’ll pay far out the ass.

I feel seen.

Prion diseases are scary shit and not to be fucked with.

I like to joke that the world actually did end in 2012 and now we’re in a weird purgatory type thing.

I’ve definitely dreamed or seated on project ideas off and on for years. I also like to think about pared down versions that might serve as a proof of concept that would be easier to execute. Sometimes I actually even build a thing.

But what letter is next to their name? 🤔

This is basically the beginning of Idiocracy.

When I searched for the quote, the only result was this:

From his Wikipedia page, some selected excerpts:

Thompson joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004 and was named CEO of UnitedHealthcare government programs that included Medicare and retirement, and community and state divisions in 2021. Under his leadership profits at UHC went from $12 billion in 2021 to $16 billion in 2023.

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC’s prior authorization denial rate was 8.7%. Thompson became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%. For both Medicare and non-Medicare claims, UHC declines at a rate double the industry average.

A lawsuit was filed against Thompson, UnitedHealth chairman Stephen J. Hemsley and two other senior executives in May 2024 for alleged fraud and insider trading due to failing to disclose an antitrust investigation into the company by the United States Department of Justice and by selling stock options before the probe was made public.
