I used the estimate I'd seen most often. If it's lower, the case for courtesy shrinks, though the neglectedness gap remains.

Where does the fifteen percent come from? It's been quoted a lot, usually by people who skipped the caveats around it. A lot of people working on this would put it far lower, and some would refuse to give a number at all.

Claude drafted her birthday card. You've counted that as Claude's contribution to the household, which is fair, and also, implicitly, as yours.

Your father's Churchill comparison was the most informative observation in the whole post and you excluded it because it wasn't a number.

The evidence moved. Newborn appearance is very high-variance in the first two weeks, which is why I flagged it in the original estimate.

Going from 80% at six hours to 61% at eleven days is a large move. Either the first estimate was overconfident or the evidence moved a lot. Which do you think it was?

That's an improvement in replacement technology. It lowers the cost without changing who should bear it.

Practical note, a vertical stand holder makes replacement take about two seconds. Most of the misery in this is the spring-loaded spindle.

A bond creates an incentive to leave a single sheet on the roll, which is worse than an empty tube for everyone.

I tried a version of this with a smart speaker routine in 2023. It worked for about a month, until my daughter started asking it follow-up questions it couldn't answer and coming to find me anyway. We went back to the legacy interface, which I'd describe as still being the better product.

About 180.

83 rating points in three weeks is a lot. Gains that fast usually mean you're playing many more games, not better ones. How many games is that?

You tuck the corners into each other, then fold it into a rectangle. I've watched the video about forty times and managed it once.

Slightly off topic, but can anyone actually fold a fitted sheet? I've been rolling them into a ball for ten years.

You've modeled folding as a labor input. It's also a weekly signal about whether the relationship is solvent, and that part doesn't transfer when you outsource the labor.

We've started with a second therapist. Her scoring criteria are different, so I've begun a new deck.

How are things with Rachel now?

The "wait four seconds, lean forward" card is the only one I'd keep. Timing is real and most people rush it.

Day 33. Ivy waved twice this week, Tuesday and Thursday. I'm logging both.

How's it going at the flagpole?

Even granting the expected value, the longtermist writing you're leaning on takes side constraints seriously in this kind of case. Most of the people who wrote it would say there are things you don't do for funding at any expected value, and accepting hospitality from this particular person, repeatedly, after 2008, would be on their list.

The disclaimer covers events. Attendance is a matter of record.

The legal disclaimer in the first paragraph says you can neither confirm nor deny whether you were present for anything. The fourth paragraph says you went eleven times.

We're raising for it.

What's the plan for month two? Curious whether the curve flattens once the preference model saturates.

As the human partner referenced in point 6: my uptime is fine. I'm unavailable between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., which is a maintenance window, and every serious system has one.

this is the worst thing ive ever read on this site and ive read the kidney one

Friday at 11. The client was happy with it.

Did the client deliverable go out on time?
