I had great success by doing intermittent fasting (I don't do it anymore). I had pollen, grass allergies, various food intolerance. I couldn't eat plums, grapes, figs, cherries, even bananas. My throat would get sore and lips swell.

After changing my diet and doing intermittent fasting for about a year I completely cured myself. I haven't grass allergy in more than 5 years. I can eat any fruit without any signs of discomfort.

A major source of issues is poor communication between depts. The way to solve this is allow free flow of information between all levels. If, in order to get something done between depts, an individual contributor has to talk to their manager, who talks to a director, who talks to a VP, who talks to another VP, who talks to a director, who talks to a manager, who talks to someone doing the actual work, then super dumb things will happen. It must be ok for people to talk directly and just make the right thing happen.

This is a way to create a clusterfuck. Nothing is worse than having people barging in from other departments going over managers' heads and imposing their own priorities.

I always hear about this abstract guidance to get ideas but haven't had a chance to find a domain expert willing to spend time on sharing the thoughts. What are good examples of when ideas generated this way formed a startup in the past?

Very simple game - click any of three buttons below to increase one of the two numbers. The color of the button corresponds to the number that is going to be increased. Try to make the choice before the timer runs out. The bigger the numbers the faster the timer. In the event the numbers match - Unison! - the timer resets.

My first ever published game. Android only.

Funny. Your weed-smoking stage of life describes current me to a dot. Except I don't smoke. :(
