@Tamurphy The correct pronunciation is however your boss pronounces it

Republicans were given the White House, the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court. They won the popular vote for the first time in 20+ years with a real nationalist movement…

They immediately threw it all away for a new foreign war in the Middle East.

Sleep scores select for fragility.

If your 30-day 99 average requires silence, 67°F, and no woman within arm's reach, your sleep isn't robust.

You should be able to sleep anywhere. Next to your girl. On a red-eye while a baby is screaming. On the floor after a cancelled flight, head rested against your bag.

Your ancestors slept on dirt with predators nearby. Deep sleep in chaos is the signal of a nervous system that isn't afraid.

Nobody is born low agency. Babies are the highest-agency creatures alive, they will absolutely try to eat a battery, they have no concept of "I can't."

Low agency is learned, usually from being punished for trying.

@PrometheanPrt @samswoora No — breaking important NDAs can land you in jail.

Any ITAR/CUI (basically american information with export controls) or actual classified work is what I think this thread is talking about

@Bryan1721923 @ConsoomerLs I think it is important to maintain relationships. If you are moving upward to a role at another company burning the 10s-100s of relationships you had previously is not great imo
