Which way modern man?


Actually such a white pill to see so many people trying shit out. Buying Mac minis and messing around with bots just because it's new and exciting and why not. Regardless of whether legit or hype the impulse to act on pure curiosity is really admirable and totally a winning trait

One thing I learnt living all around the world for the last decade is that there really is no perfect place Some places have clean air like Portugal and Spain but that's also because they don't really have industry and their economies are in many ways broken Then you have the booming South East Asia where everything seems to be growing at all times, you can live in skyscraper penthouses with infinity pools for less than you pay rent in Europe, but then you also just have really bad air quality and the highest traffic deaths in the world You can go live in Japan and Korea where people are so polite and it's so safe, silent and tidy but then you realize they're also some of the most socially isolating places on Earth, kinda because of it You can move to the US, have the most functional economy in the world, with the largest product and service offering, where people actually want to work, but then in general most places aren't walkable and you're driving everywhere because that's just how most of the country was designed You can then live in Europe where you have actually do have walkable streets, a pace of life that's more about life than work, but then you have the issue everything is slow and many things don't really work properly and you're lucky to get a plumber to come, because people don't really care about work (how's that slow pace of life, huh?) So yes there's no perfect place, and the longer you are in one place, after the honeymoon of a new place is over, you often start getting annoyed with all the things that are wrong about that particular place One solution to this that me and my friends have found is to mix at least 2 places to live (and we even have friends with many kids that do this), this is kind of a brain hack: you let your brain never adapt to one place by switching to the other place every 6 months or so. Your brain keeps thinking it's getting the novelty of a new place (honeymoon vibe) and you can have the pros/cons of two places that are counter in many ways to complement each other: For example Portugal and Thailand: - Portugal has clean air and mellow lifestyle near the beach, but services and gov stuff doesn't really work well - Thailand you can have the 10 million people big city lifestyle in skyscrapers with amazing convenience and everything works, but you have really bad air quality much of the year There's lots of combos that can complement if you think of it like that


@arithmoquine Throw this thing out, if that's an ultrasonic you need to get that away from you asap or only ever used distilled water













@hxiao Yeah, I remember that @levelsio mentioned that he installed Claude code on a VPS a few months ago, now clawdbot seems like a similar concept but with more features.



You’re selling when everyone else is selling, and buying when everyone else is buying. How’re you going to make any money?


Side hustle: one of my daughters is a SAHM & she cooks 2 weeks of meals for a professional single guy. She makes the menu, does the shopping, makes the meals & gives him a price he pays.
