Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

Jan 21, 2025 at 8:17 PM Post #179,566 of 182,317
I believe the world is more complicated than many “successful” people realize. The most significant factor for success is having either a strong support system (well educated family and friends) or enough focus and determination to overcome the lack of those. A larger than expected portion of the population is coming to realize they are autistic or have adhd or both. Some of them can and do build successful lives but many more cannot. Everyone struggles to some degree but for many simply holding down a 9-5 job is a tremendous feat.

I have never been an ambitious person. I’m just wired differently. I came from a stable but very lower middle class family. I’ve always known I was different than my peers but it wasn’t until the last 7 years (In my 40’s!😳) that I understood what it means to be autistic and how it has shaped me. It might sound like an excuse but it does hold me back. It does keep me from doing what I must from time to time. Understanding this about myself helps a little but it doesn’t fix me.

It’s interesting to hear about guys like Tom who really seem to have life figured out. He seems to have an immense capacity to juggle many balls and and the discipline to maintain them. In my world he’s literally extraordinary! We all know Jason isn’t perfect but he too seems to have an enormous ability to cope with stress. I remember him saying that he always knew he wanted to run a business. He’s just kinda wired that way. Maybe that’s why I’ve stuck around here. To be amongst greatness.
You are too kind. I have been told I have a high AD personality so I can easily see how to accomplish goals yet it is easy to forget the human element. I try to work on that so if I can ever do anything to help in your audio journey just message me and I will see what I can do. This only applies to you, I am still not going to build Cowen some ginormous tube rack.🤪

This is a cat, right?

The fence looks to be just the right height to prevent escapes or injuries to spectators. :)

Change the bookmark to page 999999 or some other very high value — that’ll always get you to the most recent page.

This is my bookmarked link:

By my calculations, based on the current speed of the thread, that should work fine for another four or five months… 😬
That is a great life hack! Thanks!

I know that it was all the little craft breweries that drew you to Boerne, but I recently discovered why Lisa wants to move here:

She asked me specifically, "Where did you find the turtle pile?"

Cibolo Creek — not just the name of a great little brewery, but also the home of dozens upon dozens of terrapins.

As long as that cat doesn't grow any bigger. Might have to raise the fence then.

You need a bigger bathroom, this one won’t fit next to the toilet.
Thankfully, that's not one of ours. It's at the botanical gardens where Lisa sponsors a bunch of other tortoises.

Just remember that the longer you wait, the bigger it will need to be. Not that I'm buying any more tubes or anything. Maybe. :laughing:

Careful. You shouldn't give away your bargaining position like that.

Going after all those GE tubes while you still can I bet.🤪 I did just win a bunch of cherry on EBay but I know you have a tiger maple fetish so this won’t do.🤣
