At this point, I need to actively choose to be less powerful both because I hate it and also because it does appear to corrupt.

Absolutely delighted to stumble upon this old Gauntlet Legends cabinet at Sandy Nickelcade. I bet this thing has been here for at least 25 years. The three letter initial and password combination for saving your score was so cool!

This Lion’s Mane is popping off with a really solid first flush. Looks about ready to harvest to me, what do you think?

When an executive fails the worker is punished. When the worker succeeds the executive is rewarded. C-Suite incompetence leading to business failure is a symptom of these broken incentives.

Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for 15 miles (2 hours) to get home from a day at Brighton Resort in Utah. When is it time we demand these resorts to chip in to improve transit infrastructure in this canyon?

The holidays (aka year end) are a favorite time for layoffs. Funny coincidence. Leadership doesn’t care about you enough to ruin your Christmas, it’s just numbers. 🎄📉

After years of struggling a pothos can still produce gold if it can find the right conditions. They yearn for light, growing towards the places they need to be to succeed.
I definitely have a favorite leaf right now 🤫😍🍃
This pothos is my OG! I call him Socrates 🏛️ he’s been with me while I was learning that plants needed light and water so to say he’s been a trooper is an understatement.

While disappointment may sometimes be inevitable, let joy in discovery carry you through another day. Enduring will produce a harvest in time.

Looks the age 8 year, Gen 1 purist inside of me is pretty loud. Honorable mention for Onyx as I couldn’t in good conscience leave out my little homies Geodude or Farfetch’d.

I didn’t buy my LegionGo expecting weekend morning gaming at the breakfast table, but it has definitely become one of my go to spots.

Just got my first taste of Bambino’s on Main in Midvale. This mushroom pizza had a mountain of fresh greens on top. Delish! Made me feel less guilty about a stop at the dessert bar after clearing the table. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
