Any basic budget advice says to cut starbucks out of your life and make your $5 latte at home, but why stop there?

Caffeine pills work out to $0.05/cup-equivalent, aren't going to make you take bathroom trips, aren't going to give you bad breath, and aren't going to stain your teeth. I usually keep a few in my pocket in case I get randomly drowsy in a meeting or if I'm driving far. I haven't looked back, and I used to pull my own espresso and roast my beans.

oh poo poo I was literally contemplating about switching to caffeine pills yesterday because I can't get the energy to make a cup of coffee (caused by caffeine withdrawal, I'm so bad at addictions lol)

does that make me into a hacker news

is it terminal

help

I certainly don't support fascism but at least Hitler had some interest in science. Things are worse in India. We spent 0.8% of the GDP on Science and Technology. At the same time, a part of that (taxpayer money) is spent on Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and Cow Urine/Dung Research.

I don't find this proverb convincing.

The best time may be only marginally better than the actual second best time. It's main value is that it's a personal Schelling point (see also [1]) for doing the thing.

"Now" is not a good Schelling point because it's the same as "in a minute" or "in an hour".

my only direct experience with them was when they warned me not to use the word "racist" when calling out blatant racism posted by another user so I'm gonna disagree there. I understand they're entirely :decorum:-poisoned but it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

What about mixing it with damp sock or rag or dishcloth.

"fuckcloth" "fuckrag" "fucksock"

"he's a damp fuckrag" "a damp fucksock" "a damp fuckcloth"

works pretty well imho

Also lol at getting myself downvoted because I asked for evidence that a highly paid tech employee on hacker news is "the average" and not just an outlier.
