A fair few HENRYs work in industries where part of your pay is in RSUs, generally being stock in your employer which you get up front but only vests properly over to you after a period of employment. That way there's always an incentive to stay at the company as each year some of the past RSUs unlock and transfer over.

I'm curious what people in these jobs tend to do with the RSUs once they vest? Do you like to sell them immediately, so you can move the funds to something more diversified? Is that even possible, or are many RSUs in private companies and have no secondary market until a takeover?

My firm has limited AI use so far, mostly access to a bespoke chatbot but it's really just a ChatGPT clone with no risk of our info put in being shared with anyone outside the firm.

I've asked it to do research on queries I've received, and it's decent but surprisingly patchy. I'd like to use it more if I could use it better though. If you've found ways to get good results then please do share below.

My curiosity here is partially driven by the contrast to the US, but also the UK where House of Lords reform has been on the sidelines of politics for a long time but almost always with a proposal to make the upper chamber elected. Simply abolishing it is almost never proposed to my knowledge.

Had a no knife procedure in the UK yesterday. Felt basically fine right after. Felt basically fine that evening. Woke up this morning and feel basically fine. Used ice yesterday at home but only because of all the advice to do so. Not bothering this morning.

I feel like I could go for a bike ride no problem. I feel like if my girlfriend had drugged me last night and had the surgeon sneak in to do this I might not have even realised when I woke up. I feel like I could do Parkrun tomorrow.

I'm not going to hop on my bike today, or tomorrow, or do Parkrun, but my provider told me to wait 4 weeks to cycle or run and that feels a bit mad at this point. Do some vasectomies just get done really clean and recover really fast?

I was in the London Marathon last weekend and doing really well for my goal until just after 28km I felt my right knee begin to hurt like my left did last year when I wrecked my IT band. Last year I didn't know what it was and thought it was just soreness, so when it began to hurt with 5km left I just ran on through increasingly bad pain each step. Long story short: I finished but took the entire summer getting back to running with a lot of physio.

This year my knee moved from discomfort to pain around 32km and I stopped before 33km, having tried twice to rest/stretch and restart without any improvement. My own fault: I wasn't diligent enough with the physio exercises after I got 'better'. Did a couple of halfs late last year and thought I was fixed so got lazy with the strength training.

I did consider just walking/hobbling to the end, but figured it would take at least 90 minutes or so if not longer (I wasn't walking great either by this point) so I didn't. Alas, it was a DNF for me.

It got me thinking: How far would you push on to finish? Obviously if I'd passed Mile 26 I'd have crawled the final few hundred metres if it came to it. 3km? I'd walk that in pain. 5km? Mmmmaybe.

You?
