For those of you that have upped daily dosage, have you noticed a difference? I’ve been taking 5/day and occasionally will try 10/day when really active.
No difference felt but have never done 10 or greater for a week straight.

re: 80% of HR employees are women, why is that?
Posted by litenin on 5/21/25 at 5:42 pm
I’ve left two organizations because HR was treated so poorly that they left and I had to pick up a lot of their tasks temporarily. Or people left because there was no HR.
HR can mean a lot of different things. Multiple interviews are usually due to President/CEO or Executive Management preference. I’ve never seen a situation where HR is making decisions unilaterally or really even pushing their ideas (although I know it can happen).

Is he the guy that once hypothesized that if we focus our thoughts intensely on what we want to achieve, they will come true? That he dedicated much of his youth on wanting to be a cartoonist along with other aspects of his life that eventually played out?

I feel like a lot of Louisiana is not even that aware of this culture and music. I only started hearing about Jordan Thibodeaux a year or two ago. Been a fan of Lost Bayou Ramblers a little longer.
I encourage everyone to check out the free festival in October Festival Acadiens in Lafayette for many of the best local bands around.

For the 2004 Yankees, the mythical Curse of the Bambino plays a factor.
For the Red Sox to finally break through and coincidentally ALSO do it that way through the Yankees, I don’t know if Yankee fans were ever the same. To this day, they are still overly arrogant but now with a new inferiority complex.

I lean against the conspiracy theory but hard not to ignore. Does EY have peer review on this like they do with general audits?
Peer review was implemented after the early 2000s fraud epidemic and maybe (?) specifically at Arthur Andersen looking the other way on their bigger accounts.

re: What classes do you take at the gym?
Posted by litenin on 5/12/25 at 6:46 am
I’m roughly one-third weight room, sports, and classes (each).
For classes, I average about 2/week and rotate between the following:
Barbell Strength
Ultra Fit (gradually works up to an all out sprint on treadmill with balance & body weight floor mixed in)
Heated Yoga (some with HIIT components)
Strictly Strength (full body dumbbell workout)
Then Spin, GTX, or other classes once in a blue moon.
One great thing about classes is they are no extra cost at gym but you get constant tips on form.

For most of the 90s, they had Milwaukee’s Best draft for 50 cents. I drank a plethora of them, even when it was going down like a beast in my internals.

We are now about halfway through the ‘Warring 20’s’. Hopefully we make it to the end of decade without too much carnage.

He is probably the only person from that era that I will occasionally search for to listen as background music while working. I don’t really know anyone else.
I’ll queue him up today for a bit.

I work for a PE that is acquiring a bunch of small family owned HVAC/Plumbing companies. Most of the former owners are seemingly average intelligence and management skills but they are cashing out with anywhere from 2-15 million depending on size of company.

re: Basketball shoes are ugly
Posted by litenin on 5/5/25 at 8:47 am
I’ve played basketball regularly all of my life but quit buying/wearing basketball shoes in about 1996. I just wear cross trainers and everyone asks how I don’t have sprained ankle issues.
I mostly stopped buying them because of the look (along with being a poor college student at the time).

re: Steve Kerr postgame speech on Popovich retirement
Posted by litenin on 5/3/25 at 11:16 am
Sometimes when I see how much Pop struggled post-Duncan, I wonder if he was actually a great coach. Sort of like Belichick now.
I’d like to see Kerr without Curry and see how he’d fare. I doubt the Pelicans could make the Finals even if Kerr coached them for a decade.
He’s so condescending when he talks, seems like a miserable person in general.

I assume Gilbert has some type of mental disability.
Larry from Stafford seems like a decent guy with his opinions but I can’t stand his voice and instantly switch to Sirius music whenever he starts talking.

re: If the Rockets lose in 1st round…
Posted by litenin on 5/2/25 at 1:45 pm
I think I agree in this case. All year it felt like the Green criticism was overblown. Now I look at his playoffs and he’s averaging 9 PPG on 30% FG when you exclude game 3.
He was supposed to be the best player on team but maybe just make him a 6th man for now (next year) that plays heavy minutes if he’s starts well. Game 4 was maddening how he struggled just dribbling.
