One of the ways I knew I was burned out from my job was that when I got back from vacation, I felt as bad as I did just before the vacation. No improvement at all. The vacations were fine, but it was like opening a door into the same flood every day.

Can confirm, I've ridden a few centuries too, both outdoor and on virtual cycling platform. My longest is 120 miles, actually.

It's hard.

Yeah. We have a 2009 MacBook pro here that still works great, other than being horrendously out of date. I was getting 6+ hours of battery life out of it when it was new, which is pretty surprising in those days.

And OS X is pretty nice (or was for the life of that laptop, I haven't used it much since then), and still Unix.

When my wife needed a new laptop a few years ago, we got her a Mac, because it's just so much less maintenance for me, compared to Windows. (She uses some stuff that Linux does not yet support.)

Oh that's nice. We visited Germany about 10 years ago and didn't get international cell service, so we were relying on hotel wifi and other wifi hotspots. This kind of thing would have been great.

Ours was on a wall across from the office, but the wall opened up to the cafeteria just next to it. I recall students sometimes using it during lunch.

Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Except that Trump is a user - a people user - and he saw Musk as someone he could use.

There are two things about this falling out that surprise me: First, it took a LOT longer than I expected, and second, it's nowhere near as contentious as I expected.

A woman I know did just that, except she wrote a book during her "off" years.

He was in charge of the Personals and was a Comic Stripper for a while.

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

Wasn't Tesla the company that had a person (or group of people) dedicated to distracting him, thereby letting the rest of the company actually do work?

I LOVE that he thinks his leaving government to refocus on Tesla will solve the sales issue Tesla has been experiencing.

He just does not get it.
