You're welcome, I hope it helps. You can't beat an incredibly smart person explaining complex problems clearly and in a balanced way.

You're both doing amazing things for Sophie. I had a fearful dog, not to the same level, and the process took many years to get him into a happier place.

Getting a second really chilled dog helped him a lot. She was very loving and ignored all dog aggression, which defused every angry dog she met.

I agree, it's so hard to explain to people. It's a bit like watching a film when the sound is lightly out of sync. You know something is wrong immediately.

The actions of the person don't match their inner self. We can see the inner self, even if we can't articulate what it is.

I think there's good value in letting people know they don't always have to be busy. I feel like being 100% busy is counterproductive. Time to think is undervalued

I've started appreciating friction too. In terms of tech deliverables it gets everyone to pause and think rather than trying to constantly smash out tickets.

Yes you could do 2x the features and slowly burn out. Alternatively you could do the one truly valuable feature and make a real impact.

This has an unexpected knock on effect of also assuming your kids will want to be mega independent. This is coming from a realisation I had about my parenting style.

The curse of the night owl. The only way to explain it to those morning folks is like them having to get up at 3am

Same here. I think some of that comes from growing up undiagnosed autistic and just finding it exhausting trying to explain the adjustments I'd like. Just do it yourself, the way you're comfortable.

You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further.
The 1999 Toyota Corolla.
Let's talk about features.
Bluetooth: nope
Sunroof: nope
Fancy wheels: nope
Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn.
Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End.
You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up.
This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children.
Things this car is old enough to do:
Vote: yes

Consent to sex: yes
Rent a car: it IS a car
This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would.
Interesting facts:
This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey.
In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional."
When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla
You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey.
Favorite food: spaghetti
Favorite tv show: Alf
Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms
This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-

When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine."
Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

The cut scenes are cringe as hell. They approximated something slick but missed the mark by a mile. It's better if you skip them all.

Test Drive Solar Crown is a fascinating exercise in how to take something really cool and make it boring as hell.

The driving is quite good when you turn the assists off. The AI is terrible at racing and the player base is tiny so you have the world's easiest races.

It's almost impossible for me to not correct someone when they say something that is illogical. The only way to socially survive the situation is to remove myself from it.

I'm sad they've changed the headline. It was "Cold water dip and beavers unleashed"

The behaviour and beliefs of some of the UK people in comparison to our European counterparts is comparable to how Floridians are seen in the US.
