from what i can tell, a significant part of what creates happiness in life is always having something to look forward to.
English
My agency sends 30,000+ cold emails/day.
I just created a FULL guide on how to make $10-20k/mo with cold email.
Like + Comment "COLD" and I'll DM it to you.
(Must be following)
English
The commercials are all just an incoherent mishmash of celebrities screaming and telling terrible jokes. Chaos. How is this the standard?
English
@Austen You can get a steroid shot ~1 x year that will cure you 100% for 6-8wks. Save it for your worst season and it’s a godsend.

Ok what do I have to do to rid myself of allergies forever

@thesamparr WSJ recently wrote about this. 1) more walking 2) less processed food / additives wsj.com/health/wellnes…
English
Lots of Americans vacationing in Europe say the same thing:
- I didn’t eat healthy (they normally eat healthy in USA)
- I ate a lot.
- I walked normal amounts.
And yet:
- they lose weight
- feel better (less full, less achy).
Any data on why?
And What about your experience? Did you notice this too when you moved from Europe to America or Vice versus?

@immad Takes a bit. I found that once I could run 5 miles consistently (~4X per week) without stopping, it turned from feeling ugh to really good.
English
@thesamparr @jwmares has a great newsletter on this. TLDR; stop wearing plastics (in most popular athletic clothing)
English
The Financial Times had an article this week about plastics and how they’re reducing men sperm count along with other health issues.
They also said pregnant women consuming plastic will have issues.
Eye opening. But not actionable.
What do I do on daily basis to address?

@rohindhar Today hotels are largely selling a completely different product. Though, many seem to be buying houses and condos near their hotel to more directly compete.
English
Hotels are absolutely going to *crush* Airbnbs after they add a kitchen, a living room and maybe a few extra bedrooms.

@thogge @kimmaicutler 💯……The “our hands are tied we must keep breaking things” argument is so absurd
English
@kimmaicutler Change the constitution if it requires you to harm your state and the country. It’s not a good enough reason to do something stupid.
English
For the 50th time, California is constitutionally mandated to refund taxpayers when budget growth is faster levels set in 1979 + a set rate of population growth & inflation. Guv can call it whatever he wants but he legally has to do it bc of the Gann limit cato.org/commentary/gan…
immad@immad
A slightly counter intuitive thing about inflation is that to fight it you have to reduce consumer demand. California and UK politicians giving money to consumers to help them handle inflation makes inflation worse. These type of policy is what leads to hyper inflation.
English
@immad @kimmaicutler Your point is still valid! If they had any brains they’d amend the constitution
English
And there is also the occasional guest that loves your home but gives you a performative 4-star review so they can demonstrate to the world what discerning taste they have 🤦♂️
English
One of the hardest things about being a short term rental host:
19 out of 20 guests will *love* your home 🥰
But...
1 out of 20 guests will absolutely *hate* that same home and let you know😵💫
It's inevitable.
English
If you want to bring something to your workplace that will be transformative, bring a high level of energy.
That stuff is infectious.

@OberholzerM @rohindhar Totally! It’s an experience game in a crowded market. Obsess over customers and deliver over the top delight and you just might win.
Hotels are getting into this game with force and from my personal experience are out delivering any STR I’ve stayed at.
English
@mhawk @rohindhar I've always liked the "what would a hotel do" litmus test. And, shocker, usually the answer is nothing in these situations. Cost of doing business.
English
Okay, follow up from yesterday’s post where a STR guest likely made a hole in the wall during the stay but never mentioned it.
Time to review them. Do you:
A. Leave negative review mentioning hole
B. Leave regular/positive review not mentioning
C. Don’t leave a review at all
English
@maiab the cognitive load required to deal with all of these unnecessary "smart" devices is untenable
English
but I don’t want to watch my favorite tv shows on my fridge while cooking

@JoshuaBaer Leaf blowers are the absolute scourge of otherwise quiet suburbs!
English
Why is it accepted standard practice that most landscapers use blowers to push all of the leaves and dust into the street instead of cleaning it up?
