Well, as far as breaking the laws of Judaism more generally, the only things you can't do to save a life are:
- Adultery
- Homosexuality
- Incest
- Zoophilia
- Debatably, interfaith marriage
- Murder
So, get married to your (assuming straight) sister, then fuck your brother and his dog while worshipping Allah, then kill all of the above - while, of course, eating the burger.
I feel like the burger idea itself (not my version thereof) is actually pretty emphatically Jewish, at least reform/reconstructionist. There's the oft sermonafied story of Jacob wrestling with angels, as a parable for the value of questioning beliefs.

largely off topic, but are you suggesting withdrawing 5-7% per year from the 401k? (50-70k/1M). 4% is generally the "safe rate of withdrawl" I see quoted.

Unless you currently work for a tiny company whose mission you care about, fuck 'em. To whatever extent this hurts your coworkers, who you reasonably care about as humans, this is on your manager to fix. If there is not enough slack in the system for someone to leave, that's a management issue, not a you issue. If the company laid off a coworker, there would not even be two weeks' notice, and you would have to pick up the slack - a symmetric situation, and also the company's fault.
I say give zero notice. If you really need the reference, give two weeks, but certainly don't feel guilty. Since most references consist of "I can confirm the dates of employment and will say nothing else for fear of lawsuit," again, I say give zero notice.

Good luck. I saw some good advice on the subreddit. See also the followup comments. The original comment is below.
My ideal interview goes like this:
I paste problem in to doc
TC ("the candidate") reads it
TC generates and solves a trivial example to confirm understanding. E.g. for two sum: so f([2, 3, 4], 5) is True, but f([2, 3, 4], 12) is False, right? No discussion of algorithm yet
TC asks 1-2 needless pedantic questions. Can we assume f is called with appropriate types? Do we need to check if nums fits in RAM? If there is actual ambiguity, ask about that instead.
TC says OK I think I see a way to solve this using $DATASTRUCTURE, in worst case O(n2) time, where n = ..., which should be optimal theoretically because ....
TC verbally, with a little writing but not pseudocode, describes the algorithm, and checks it against their earlier examples.
TC says I think that sounds reasonable, should I start coding it up?
TC codes it up, using at least one helper function, and at least one piece of language-specific style/syntax. Functional programming is always nice.
TC comments at least once that there are two ways to write a thing, and pros and cons stylistically are...
At each step if possible, or when done if not, TC steps through their code with the same examples as before.
My biggest pet peeve is when TC is confused, asks broadly for "a hint", rather than putting in any effort: "I could almost X, but that fails because Y; do you think there's a way to remedy that, or maybe I should consider other options". Bonus pet peeve points if, given the hint, TC has no idea what to do, but confidently says "ah yes of course, thanks"

For Vim, sure (even then, more like twenty commands for break even: hjklf/nydxrgg would get you pretty far. But for Vimmium, literally just f is enough to be a game changer. Through in udjkF and now you've really got a stew going.

If psychology and psychiatry aren't working for you, try something else. (Or try again - the right med and/or therapist could in fact exist. I think guanfacine is highly underrated.) Lift is the obvious answer, or exercise more broadly, if you aren't already. Or even more broadly, get off the internet and go do things at a place.

30% seems wildly exaggerated. I think suppressing the river to the sea sloganning on TikTok would only make it louder on other platforms, so I'll put the effect at "decreases by X%".

Not sarcasm, but definitely not a symbol I'd heard of before.
Perhaps less predictably, however, others focused on the octopus, interpreting it to be a kraken, a mythical, multi-tentacled sea beast that was occasionally used in Nazi iconography.
“What does the Kraken next to you on the couch mean @GretaThunberg?,” one account with more than 1,000 retweets wrote. “The Kraken was, and is, a well-known sign of the Nazis for the anti-semitic term international finance judaism.” The post included an image from a 1938 Nazi propaganda cartoon showing a person as an octopus whose tentacles are encircling the globe, with a Star of David over their head. (The image appears to be depicting Winston Churchill, who was not Jewish — but to be fair, the Mogen David over the octopus’s head doesn’t indicate the artist had warm and generous feelings toward Jews.)
In a follow-up tweet, Thunberg, who is autistic, clarified that the plush octopus on her shoulder was not a reference to a (frankly, somewhat historically obscure) anti-Semitic canard, but to a common toy used by neurodivergent people to express their feelings. “It has come to my knowledge that the stuffed animal shown in my earlier post can be interpreted as a symbol for antisemitism, which I was completely unaware of,” she wrote. “The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings. We are of course against any type of discrimination, and condemn antisemitism in all forms and shapes. This is non-negotiable. That is why I deleted the last post.”

Do you stretch, like ever? Yoga is great, but if it feels like a high bar/difficult to motivate yourself too, you'd be amazed what two minutes stretching once or twice most days will do.
If you go the yoga route, consider 30 days of yoga with adriene. Minimal woo, beginner friendly.

Meta: I think it's interesting how many responses assume you will damage the relationship if you are honest and wrong. That's not obvious to me. There's a short list of people in my life who could absolutely tell me "you can do better" or "nah man time to settle" and, right or wrong, I'd be thankful for the opinion.

+1. You could get a power meter to see if you're near 600w, or use a calculator, but it seems likely. You've clearly put work into having good airflow/thermals, so this is the main thing that's left.

$1.8B/5200 teachers = 350k/ea on average. $1.8B/8M people in NYC = $250/ea. Not nothing, but not that much really. Certainly less than the amount from one year's income tax that goes to education.

So how do you want me to interact with this post other than saying "nice blog bro!"? We aren't here to be your therapist.
The rest of your response is...alright, I guess, but this line we could do without. His post is exactly about culture war, and at that, a part of it that is relatively rarely discussed. I found it interesting.
