Better just tap them in back of the head with your foot as they sit in the blandpitTM

Invest in your education first because nobody can take it from you.

Buy the crappiest reliable car you can stand to be seen in. (If you need a car at all)

Invest in a house as soon as you can. Buy the crappiest house in a nice neighborhood.

These have helped me treat a Depreciating asset (like a car) purely as a tool for utility and helped me recognize that a nice car is ego on display. For me it applied to computers and cameras too. I could definitely afford to drive a nicer car and I've learned to turn the pang of shame in parking my crappy old beater next to my BILs' hot cars into a trigger of self assurance: "I'm living by my internal values" ... "damn right!"

There's a famous meme about this in the WORCESTER MASS community... Titled basically "it wasn't a self portrait"

He looks like every central mass townie combined into one diner-dwelling chain-smoking semi famous illustrator.

It's like a frustrated old lady in the church basement on a Friday night ... I can't get bingo. I can almost get bingo twice. But no luck.

Yes, and Soivane Eparn is the top of the warning label on mine as well.

My wife cried as she destroyed 3 years of animal and human samples collected by her team of ~100 people in Africa through three major institutions. Each sample represented hundreds of man hours and... There was no funding. Her new job in Europe was starting (two months ago) and we had to leave - there was nobody to continue the work. She searched everywhere for ANYONE willing to analyze/finish the work and take first author. The cold reality was very very sad. There was no freezer space for work that nobody would continue.

In the coming decades she hopes to go back to discovering the mysteries that zoonotic diseases will help humanity unlock.

IT'S LIKE RAAAAAAAIIIIINN on your wedding day.

A greeeen light, when you're already late.

Some good advice, that you just didn't take.

And who would've thought, Al Gore was based.

There is a long, thin, rubber-y line wrapped around/connected to the water line pictured below.

Other angle:

The piece in question is loosely hanging via a zip tie on my main water line about shoulder height and can be moved up/down easily.
