The most important thing to do when going through a performance review is to identify your value to the company. It’s not about bragging. It’s not getting people to say you are great. Most importantly, it is not about how hard you worked. No one cares how hard you work. It is about the impact of the work you did.

Excellent! This is the equivalent of keeping envelopes in the junk draw for various funds.

I guess I read and interact with different people. I’m more in the Chris Kresser vein of Paleo.

I’m curious. Do you actually know anyone who follows a paleo-type diet that believes they are recreating the diet of cavemen? I’ve never come across anyone with that interpretation of paleo-type diets.

Great point. We know very little about food tolerance. Whole 30 cuts out a bunch of foods, not because they are bad for everyone, but because they COULD be bad for you as an individual.

I don’t doubt this hypothesis, but to me the reason football is getting worse is all the whistles stopping play. It is sometimes difficult to watch a game, when it takes two or three attempts just to get a play off.

This is a great feature, especially with a tablet or laptop with a touch screen. I can type formulas for my notes. It’s the only solution that has worked for me.

What amazes me about nootopics is the vehemence some people show against them. I remember one small-business owner who asserted she has a right as a business owner to know if her employees use them, because they are dangerous. I replied that doughnuts are dangerous too, but we are all OK with them.

That’s what I think. Most drugs require complicated labs and expensive research. Marijuana is cheap and easy. They can certainly synthesize the cannabanoids, but many will simply find a strain they like and smoke it or eat it.

Of course I did. Adding BP coffee to a shit diet isn’t going to do much for you. But, replacing Sonic Breakfast burritos, doughnuts and Bagels with healthy fat sure was a significant part. My typical BPC was two TBS of MCT (NOW brand) and 3-4 TBS Kerry Gold butter for 500-600 calories. About 25% of my diet. I would…

Interesting data. For many people this will be useful. However, the number of hours does no account for sleep quality. It also does not show any causality. Still, it asks some good questions. Just don’t assume that if you start sleeping 8-9.5 hours you’ll be happier.

It worked for me

Anecdotal I know, but the Bulletproof Diet changed my life. Butter and MCT in the morning helped me lose 20 pounds in three months. Resolved a host of health problems. Allowed me to go to school full time while working full time and made it easy after I failed three other times. So, actually, butter in coffee can help…

Not surprising to me. The NFL wanted a specific conclusion, so they went with someone who would give them what they wanted. It’s Bountygate all over again.

Exactly. The judge cannot rule on Brady’s innocence or guilt. Only on the correct interpretation of the CBA. Rules that apply to teams do not apply to players unless specified int he CBA.

Excellent discussion. We don’t speak enough about how many of us disagree on how to interpret terms like force, coercion and consent, false claim. Yet, we don’t talk about it. Kudos to the author for bringing this up.

This is the most pernicious kind of sexism. How do you combat it? As a man, I’m sure I’ve participated in such things without realizing it. I’d like to think that I’m more aware now, but I’ve actively sought to learn about it.

I hate PDF. I like to break down large pieces of text into smaller chunks using incremental reading. PDF makes it very difficult. Without the semantics of XML or HTML5, converting to text reliably is impossible.

Excellent summary. That's the 20% effort that will give you 80% of the benefit.

If you time it right, you can take a loan when the market is high and pay it back while the market drops. Instead of losing out on earnings, you pay back with interest and grow your plan. Right now seems like a decent time for this.
