    Nice win :)

    Back in college this kinda thing would happen to me a bunch. The fear of forgetting would stress me out so much I’d lose sleep and compound the whole mess of problems. Ended up keeping a notepad by my bed to scribble my thoughts onto so I could give my poor brain a break for sleep.




  • I kinda laughed when I read that headline - give people money and they won’t not have money! Hehe. But I’ve always wondered what kinds of upward or downward pressures that would make on the prices of certain things. Or on purchase patterns in aggregate. I’m no economist, so I’m not aware of all the history of similar programs. I have seen some really weird things happen in closed systems like FSA benefits that people ‘use or lose’ here in the US causing weird purchase patterns that cause shortages of certain things that people end up over-purchasing just to not feel like they’ve lost a benefit. Dunno if you have a similar program there. But in a scenario where it’s just money, I imagine the patterns would be completely different.
