I took a picture of the back of my pizza box for you guys just in case you were stuck home because of the snow and needed something to do.

Airbnb's struggles go beyond people spending less. It's losing some travelers to hotels.

I had a similar experience with VRBO. My family booked way in advance to see the eclipse, and the host ended up cancelling it a couple weeks before the stay. No penalties for them. I suspect they realized they could charge way more than what we were paying.

Finding another goal is a good suggestion. It's what worked for me, at least. Instead of it being about how I appeared in a mirror (which was suuuuper variable and depended a lot on my mood), it became something measurable I could easily track progress with.

It's also really great when someone is driving to pick you up. You can see how far out they are, and be ready when they arrive.

I'm the same way. Hate being cold. I've started to just say my favorite season is "not winter". Though it helps I live in an area with incredible summers and miserable winters.

This is funny, but don't you mean to say: "I'll be there 6-7 6-7 6-7". Makes more sense that way

I dream of my company going to that schedule, but I don't think they ever will. It's great to see other companies shifting that way though :)

Yeah, I had my Facebook set to leetspeak back in the day when it was restricted to college students. Of course, Zuckerborg was still a POS and I got rid of my Facebook ages ago

'Wood vaulting': A simple climate solution you’ve probably never heard of
Reply in thread
There are several major problems this solves. The forests are overstocked, which is part of what leads to larger and more severe wildfire. These are live trees, and won't break down, but need to be thinned. And if the forest does burn, that dead wood needs to be removed to prevent it from burning again. This wood could break down eventually, but it makes it riskier to replant (for both the people planting, and the new seedlings).
Both of these activities are incredibly expensive, and burying the trees in a vault on site could provide a way to manage all of the wood, and pay for it.
Should wood vaults be the only solution? Probably not. And we should definitely remain skeptical as they are proven out. But proper forest management is challenging, expensive, and is often neglected (at least in the US), and I think it's overall beneficial to explore novel solutions like this.

The place I go to has an option for a "quiet haircut" when you book the appointment. I'm pretty social, so I don't usually do it, but I think it's a nice idea for those who want it.
