I have a blood deficiency from birth that says I can't take quinine. So yeah, I always am very clear and send it back if they give me tonic.

It... it’s not?

Guys tonic water is disgusting. It's ok with gin and citrus but on its own that would be the worst surprise.

Soda water is just water with carbonation. Soda water is delicious.

A few months back, I was taking late night calls with China on Thursday nights. I was going to a Jack in the Box for the late-night munchie meals, and I kept ordering plain soda water.

After a week or two, the drive-in girl recognized me and said it was weird to get soda water.

I stopped going because of the recognition (and it's a lot of calories), but there's a lot of people that'll have nothing to do with unsweetened seltzer.

D5, huh? Soda water has no calories. Tonic water has sugar and therefore a lot of calories.

The munchie meal that I was getting was like 1000 calories, haha

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Recruiting for a Corporate Strategy role (individual contributor) for a non-profit focused on the Accounting & Finance professions.

Role is fully remote (no travel), incredible WLB (seriously), and comp is $85-$110K (all base, no bonus), depending on experience, which for this role, we are targeting 2-6 years of consulting, strategy, or other similar experience. This should be considered a pre-MBA role.

DM me for additional details if interested. Thank you!
