He’s not working an extra day a week, he works from home 4 out of 5 workdays per week. 1.5hrs commuting. Young, no kids (mentioned at least), tons of flexibility. It’s 7.5 hrs travel per week, not 12. Do it while young & free / if there are no kids or major commitments in the picture. That base salary is also a stepping stone to higher salaries. I’ve made a number of jumps and without bouncing around, it’s generally really hard to get to a certain income.

At $42k, an $18k raise is transformative. Would be much less of a no-brainer (to take the new job) if they were already making say $75k. And the commute is not crazy by any means. Since you’re living w parents it sounds like you’re young/ no kids. My advice: 100% take this opportunity if that’s your situation. Stay living with your parents if you are OK with that outside of the commute consideration, thoughtfully saving to set yourself up for later.

Sorry but this is fucking hilarious: OP posted the very opening paragraph of the article, verbatim. Very clearly, you did not read the article at all, since you are claiming OP is making sweeping judgements himself.

Absolutely hilarious that you have this whole nonsensical thought process based on frequency, and your example of a “color” on the EM “scale” (the word you’re looking for is spectrum) is 120hz. Visible red light is about 430 trillion Hz… cracking me up that you said one hundred and twenty lol. You’re on the right order of magnitude on sound.

Re: planting seeds - the light experiments make perfect intuitive sense as photosynthesis is deeply sensitive to EM frequency. The sound experiments are interesting and less intuitive but the gist of it is that sound is a mechanical stimulus.

Your claim that the frequency that is most harmonic with water is ridiculous in the way you are presenting it, but that said, the wavelength of the laser used was critical in the results observed. But literally nothing to do with the “harmonic frequency” of water.
