My friend's private office / coworking in Lisbon got burglared at night They took his Apple Studio Display of about $4000, he even made a custom travel case for it which had an Airtag on it, the criminals were smart and packed it in his case and took it He had an Airtag on it so tracked it, he found it in a warehouse south of Lisbon He reported it to Portuguese police, and showed where it was with the Airtag, they said they couldn't do anything because it was inside a building and by law they could not enter private property to recover it If they can't then what is police even for?

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”
