The problem with that is that we don't know how another person finds our communication. The reason the phrase "let's talk" leads to alarm bells is because one side has the self-assured feeling that they have good communication and don't take the other side's ability to respond into account. Moreover, when we initiate a work-related meeting with no context, we provide no frame of mind or ability to prepare to the other party.

If our request isn't high value enough to provide the other person additional context, our request isn't so important it can't wait until coincidence or regular schedule allows the discussion. We're responding to our own feelings of urgency in the moment rather than the planned and understood needs of our roles. When we do that, our communication, even if we feel like it is healthy and well-built, is only coincidentally so and its health is subject to swift erosion.


Unfortunately, for people that don't know you, this can be spooky to the other person while reassuring yourself. If you can be specific and provide context, you can prepare the person to engage you much faster and more effectively.


"You'll never guess what happened. Hit me up to find out more"

if it works for headlines, why not messages to your co-workers?


"Three things you don't know about your future. yet. see me at 4 for more details"


"This mother of 4 earns over $4000 a week from home!"


Great. Clickbait meeting announcements, just the thing we need to reach the next level in this game of Corporate Dystopia.


Four secrets to managing reduced workload, as discovered by a Mom.

This is awesome seeing a paas optimize for expert users before planning how to expose those features more broadly. I hope their documentation follows suit!


I felt the same, but, having tried it, I can say it works in both directions. I can comfortably tolerate both hotter and colder temperatures than before.


Huh, that's promising, thanks. Is there an easy resource on the method? I downloaded the android app but it needed a sign up so I uninstalled it.


Looks like some videos are coming up with a DDG search: https://youtu.be/nzCaZQqAs9I


Thanks!


It's possible! But there's been been many instances of material exchange between the inner rocky worlds that could have seeded life on any or all of them. Either way, seeing evidence of flourishing biota on other worlds, be they local extremophiles or alien life, is exciting


I'm curious what his examples of horse breeding and bodybuilding technologies were that have made it into mainline human health. I know early HRT used mare estrogen, but that seems less a technology than a means of manufacture.


Though they have similar names, GEICO and GE are unrelated businesses. The former is an acronymn for Government Employees Insurance Company, the latter stands for General Electric


If you remember 30 Rock, It's just "G" now - they sold the "E" to "Samesung"


oh, I'm corrected, thanks.
