Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
It’s not much but getting 0.5% BTC back paying estimated taxes every quarter takes a little bit of the sting away…

My principal asked me to do a write-up on the following. So I did.
Many of our students face multiple problems at home. Hence, school becomes more than a place to gain knowledge and skills. It needs to be a safe haven when they build strong relationships with adults who believe in them.
At NorthLight School, we believe in our students’ ability to triumph over their personal circumstances. We organise a GRIT (Growing Resilience In Teens) camp designed to boost their confidence and coping strategies. Through this and other programmes, we want them to “see vitality in themselves” (Joseph Campbell). Under our guidance, students transform into inspiring bearers of light.
As they grow into independent young men and women, our students start to lead their families and communities. They shine light into others’ lives - and the ripple effects of their positivity become an uplifting force, benefitting society at large.
This is why at NorthLight School, we say, “The Darker It Gets, The Brighter It Shines”. This is why the ‘L’ in NorthLight is capitalised: to remind students of the bright light that lies within them, ready to serve as their North Star.
Writing Considerations
  • kept it short (about 200 words)
  • used plain words (good for emotional resonance & memory retention)
  • focused on relationships (the most important predictor of happiness is whether we have close relationships. I want the kids to know that they already have what it takes to be happy)
  • included GRIT & ‘the darker it gets, the brighter it shines’ (helps kids see that the things we do are part of an interconnected whole)
  • referenced Joseph Campbell (tagging a well-known quotation helps in memory recall)
  • wrote about the link between ‘North’ & ‘Light’ in the last line (hope it packs a rousing emotional punch)

Successful day freaks,
I'm thinking tonight might be a coffee work and podcast kind of night.
Thanks, Hustle

Very few people deny meat is part of a healthy diet. That's a tiny vocal minority from the vegan community. Probably an imagined adversary in your head 😂😂
But put some fruit and vegetables to it, bc fiber & vitamins 👍🏻👍🏻
reply
Last I checked my normie friends still seem to believe a vegan or vegetarian diet is healthier. Glad your circles are well-informed. But there is no adversary at all.
reply
That's a tiny vocal minority from the vegan community.
And most of us are saying it's unethical not unhealthy.

If someone wanted to disrupt the infrastructure as a service, they should make it faster. All this infrastructure as code stuff is better than what we used to have, but the development cycle is still incredibly slow: make change, deploy, wait up to 10 minutes to find out something is wrong, wait for rollback, repeat.

Good morning stackers.
Day 74 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.
reply
Good work! I'm joining the challenge
reply
Welcome to the fun. I started doing this back in late January because of this post. I don't know how many are still doing it, but it seems only @grayruby and I are reporting on it each day. I think @Undisciplined is also still doing it, although he doesn't seem to report daily on his push ups. I hope people who joined the challenge are still doing it, but are simply not reporting on it.
reply
I'm still going. I'll probably just do monthly updates.
reply
I still train every day or almost every day, but maybe reopening a post about this would be fun, why did you stop posting about this?
reply
I don't understand your question. I write a comment in the Saloon every morning on this. So what do you mean by "you stop posting about this"?
reply
I meant that I think you had a post exclusively on this topic, I don't remember if it was you, I asked you why you didn't publish that thread already.
reply
It was grayruby that started this challenge. I don't know how he thinks, but I thought it's too much to dedicate a post each day just to report on doing 100 push ups, so I opted to make a comment in the Saloon as my daily accountability post/comment.
If you're looking for the original post, it's this one.
reply
Howdy!
75 days of 100 push ups a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go. 71 days of 100 squats a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go.

I think young people should have fun, but I don't seem to have any... I wasn't always this introverted. I'm disappearing, avoiding most things. I'm full of dust and guitars. I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time. I've got a very irregular head, and I'm nothing you think I am. I'm sorry... I can't speak very coherently!

Good morning stackers, coming back from doing the daily exercise routine, have you done yours?
