Thank you for this. I hate the stigma.

It would be easy to construe Pete Carroll's words as throwing team ownership under the bus, but it sounded more like he was lamenting that the plan he presented for next season focused on football minutiae, and did not address media criticism compellingly.

I think he was arguing that they were going into the final year of a 3 yr post-Russ rebuild on track, and was trying to argue that Shane, Clint and their schemes just needed a few specific scheme tweaks, personnel upgrades and a healthy line to bring it all together in 24.

While media criticism directed his way has largely been perceived lack-of-discipline i.e. Jamal, DK, cigar-gate, pervasive game-changing penalties. A bit about getting away from the run and problems tackling. So a disconnect his plan and what ownership hears in media.

Okay, I take back every negative thing I've ever said about Pete Carroll

Replying to @nicolefv
@nicolefv a friend is asking advice on upwardly managing the owner at a design firm with an absurdly "anti-Westrom" culture and process. Glimmers of self-awareness that they are bottleneck to productivity, if not poor culture... Any beyond-DevOps resources you might suggest?

I really want to suggest Accelerate, but the minute I say DevOps... 🤭

What are y’all morning routines? With my #adhd, “chaos begets chaos”. If I don’t do a routine I’m less likely to have a well-structured day & follow thru on other things cause my perfectionist brain goes, “well you already didn’t do the first thing right!” & it feels harder.

Over 41 million Americans rely on Adderall. It's time for the FDA and DEA to get serious about fixing this shortage. I'm pressing federal officials to get to the bottom of this crisis once and for all. oregoncapitalinsider.com/new…

If Yamaha is ever in the market for a celebrity spokesperson, Payton Manning is the only logical choice.

I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant. The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate.

#TSAPSA Aerlingus doesn't do TSA precheck, so brave yourself for a long-ass line. P.S. no, autocorrect, I did not mean analingus.

Hey #sommelier web, I keep hearing that cheap wine gives you a headache because of unfermented sugars, but if that were the case, wouldn't headaches also correlate to juice/pop/fruit ingestion too? And all wine has sulfites regardless of price point. So what is it?
