The fact that you don't get hangovers is part of the problem. If you did, you wouldn't be able to drink and function the next day. Did you ever get hangovers?

Of course. Over time they got milder and now it's basically nothing.

I don't think this is unusual[1]

>> Often those in the first stage do not get hangovers.

I like drinking from time to time, but the hangovers put me off, which is nature's way of saying, leave off. If I have more than four drinks I have to spend the next day in bed. I simply can't function. I know a couple of alcoholics and neither suffer from hangovers (or ever have done). When I read "functional alcoholic" I think of someone who doesn't suffer from hangovers.

I'm the same way. Four drinks is too much for me. I usually feel I the next day after 2. I.enjoy drinking for the duration of the act, and every moment after that is mostly regret.

There was no tech crash in 2007.

Yes I think it's the main trigger. Vancouver is in a major house price bubble and the correction is going to be huge.

Good point.

Perhaps starting off with some short-term consultancy gigs to build it first would help.

Lee Smolin, Time Reborn (although he is unaware of the work of Henri Bergson before him).

You could also ask, what if time is the primary thing that exists? That is, it has authority over everything else that exists. This would mean that the laws of physics, for example, could change over time.

Check out Henri Bergson. The first person to argue that Time is Real.

He had a public debate with Albert Einstein about the nature of time and lost badly. Never fully recovered.

Similar introvert here. Open plan offices destroy me. It's a balancing act, not being too isolated so you get depressed, but having your own space really matters

In Brazil, architects often build a social space into their apartments. It's a good idea and works really well, but the people have to want to socialise together in the first place.
