Wild that an org sent me spam mail with a $5 bill in it. I thought it was fake as a shady tactic to get you to open it but it was real

It's incredibly beautiful that scientists have been able to predict the existence of things in the universe just through the math alone (e.g. positrons, electromagnetic waves) and then it gets confirmed once the experiments / observations are possible later on

Ireland’s School of Falconry was one of the coolest and most magical experiences I've ever had! Get to walk through the woods for an hour with a hawk following and landing on you

When joining a startup, the 2 things I optimized for were mission and caliber of people I got to work with. Meant that even if startup didn't work out (default) I'd be passionate about the work I did and learn a lot from the people I worked with. Leads to no regrets personally

Spent the last 14 years with work as my #1 priority, now in my season of learning physics daily out of personal interest and having a kid in a few months. Plan is go to insane with work again but very lucky to take the time to slow down and enjoy my first change of season

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day. A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go

Every person I've introduced padel to loves it and wants to keep playing. So fun, quick to pick up, and ends up being great exercise! Highly recommend

Once I stopped fitting in all my clothes during pregnancy I started using Nuuly for monthly clothing rental and it's been great! I don't have to buy an entire new wardrobe. I dropped my return at the UPS today and there were dozens of Nuuly packages so seems they're very popular

I recently learned it's common among wealthy people to use concierge doctors who don't accept insurance (more time with doctor, specialized care, etc) and just get insurance with a really high deductible to cover crazy expensive emergencies

Optimistic about AI helping solve a lot of cold criminal cases that were previously underresourced. When I worked in cybercrime investigations, there was an immense amount of manual work filtering through data. Ultimately can help catch some very bad people and bring closure

Finished reading my second physics textbook Classical Mechanics by Taylor! Great deeper dive on mechanics esp learning more derivations on formulas, new methods, and helpful examples/problem sets. Also pushed my math more with linear algebra later on. Fantastic book
