I feel I’m in a similar position. It’s not that I’m not working but I’ll often realize, in hindsight, that I’ve spent way more time on something than it was worth. This kind of single track mind also has me waiting last…
For an example: I am enrolled in a woodworking class my Park District has. It is $50 for about 8 classes. YouTube is great but having an expert to ask questions to is priceless. I am also planning on getting a…
Apple TV (hardware), Apple TV (app), and Apple TV+ (premium subscription). It’s like they try and keep it so simple it makes you feel stupid
You’re right but I find it funny that before this thread I was reading this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31133963
In jest, I had a teacher say something along the lines of “Nobel Prize winners are experts at the end of their careers or the novices at the beginning.” Thinking outside the box can be made so much easier when you don’t…
TLDW Tablets aren’t bad but if you don’t fill your prewash compartment with detergent you’ll get worse cleaning. The prewash compartments are meant for loose powder or gel so might as well just use that detergent for…

I just did the chat option and it put me in a queue to wait for an "Account specialist" that is estimated to take 25 minutes. Other two options were phone call or text. I actually did intend to cancel today so ill see…
I have friends in the philippines (Manilla specifically) who told me this
Such a good post of a great lesson learned. I see a lot on how zoning in how much to charge, a lot on how to get customers but do you have similar posts about the other stuff on the biz end of things that fill the gaps?…
