God, I miss my nice/peaceful commute home. Listening to a podcast in traffic was one of the highlights of my day

Hang in your office location at home for 45 min and listen to a podcast. I did that tonight after work and before closing my computer

Even better, walk outside and sit down on the ground 500 feet from your home. Every 5 minutes, move 50 feet closer.

Hmm. Well, you have an opportunity to use that time to move instead of sitting in traffic - take a walk for your “commute” whilst listening to your podcasts.

Walk around your neighborhood instead while listening to a podcast. Way better!

Take a walk around your neighborhood with your earbuds in. I take my dog with me and wind down after work from home. Much better than my 3 hour daily commute 😀

Quick survey: Do you guys think having a template package to envelope an ML model as an application would be helpful.

I’ve tried earplugs but the noises tend to vibrate my office building so the earplugs don’t work well as an entire block.

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

1 thing that has resonated with me on this App throughout Covid, is that the beliefs I held about my consulting colleagues were completely & totally wrong. A variety of the discussions, particularly those re: the political environment in the US & the widespread movement to pursue equality, have demonstrated that many of my peers are sociopaths incapable of exercising the same objective & critical thinking skills they they apply when charging clients hundreds hundreds of dollar an hour.
