Almost any decision in business and life can be decided by:

Just finished listening to this great interview of @roelofbotha by @jaltma. In it, he argues that venture capital isn’t an asset class. It doesn’t scale with capital the way real asset classes do.

Employees face the same paradox when choosing where to work. Most choices look promising; almost none become generational.

@DanielleMorrill I’d love to collab on that. Would love it for use with my family. We also buy straight from the farmer and managing what we have used from our produce and entire cow / pig can be hard when it’s piled in freezers:
@Meta Why was my account disabled as soon as I signed up for threads?!?!?!?!
Now I appealed ... and still no luck. WHY?! I haven't even posted anything for awhile.
@thesamparr Sounds like you found your answer. If it was below your ankles it could be an extra bone (Accessory Navicular Syndrome)... Our bodies are crazy.
