I’ll start jumping on sales opportunities when the salespeople, whose job is specifically to sell stuff while I do my non-sales job, start sharing the commissions
Something no one tells you when you're 20yo:
MD at an investment bank = sales
Partner at a consulting firm = sales
Partner at a law firm = sales
CEO at a startup = sales
Partner at a VC firm = sales
CEO at a AI lab = sales
Sales is the lifeblood of any company, something I feel Europeans need to be reminded of more often than Americans.

Yes this was tried in the 18th century. It started a political movement called Everything That Has Happened Since Then

Guy said Envision and I kept reading waiting to see how the metaphor applies to a drop-down. STILL HERE BABY
Envision Texas as a guy in late middle age, sitting at a bar, paunchy and stooped, still wearing his high school letter jacket (varsity d-line, 1985) and a cowboy hat. He's here every night, living on a disability check from an oilfield job he last worked a decade ago, and now he regales the other regulars about his days playing ball, riding in the rodeo, and being a roughneck. But now he's pale and soft and only ever smiles when he's speaking in the past tense. His sons all work gig jobs and live in apartments with roommates despite being in their 30s; he seldom sees them. He'll down ten beers before he leaves and needs them to sleep now. His doctor told him to cut back, but he can barely understand the guy, what with the accent and all. Deep down, he knows he's k!lling himself, though he can't consciously acknowledge it. But man, it was great back in the day. Don't mess with Texas.
GROUNDBREAKING spirit AI data sale kicked yet again. Maybe by the time they work it out Weil’s data will be up for auction. Thinking 2038

I’m an ancient historian, not a political pundit, but my two cents. With the richest man failing to earn political prestige at home, I expect Musk will now attempt to lead an army into Parthia.

A lot of people on here are saying “Republicans shouldn’t have crashed the economy and started an unnecessary war in the Middle East.”
Should the bird not fly south in the winter? Should the wolf not leave the pack to seek its mate?
It’s not a day for gloating but celebrating democracy. Still I have to take some credit: it was my write-in vote for Mikhail Bakunin that crashed the Westchester voting system
