    Interesting read, two guys try live Unscripted off the grid, and not with a lot of $$ to do so... While it didn't turn out very well, but it looks like they'll be able to connect the dots looking backward. https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/friends-diy-cabin-build-washington/

    What was MJ DeMarco's Relationship Rule?

    NOTABLE! HEALTH QUESTION 
    This is a solid philosophy and the path I took as well. I wanted to morph into my minimal best vision (MBV lol) of myself before seeking a permanent partner. Also, my parents divorced and I felt the breaking point was my father succeeded during the marriage, and the marriage represented his...

    A cautionary tale of Amazon being Amazon...

    SCALING 
    Yes, THEIR DATA. And then using deception to access MY DATA. Theft is not "upping their game." A metaphor is inviting a network technician into my house to fix my internet, but then he installs a packet monitor on my network to grab my banking passwords to rob me blind.

    How to think clearly?

    INTRO 
    Stay off social media. Stop scrolling and swiping. Get off your damn smartphone. You can't focus when your brain is addicted to minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour dopamine hits. Start there are you will see some improvement.

    A cautionary tale of Amazon being Amazon...

    SCALING 
    No, it's not the same thing; Amazon Basics and legally getting access to every detail of my company (under the guise of acquisition talks) for the purpose of theft are two different things. But thanks for reiterating what I already knew.

    What was MJ DeMarco's Relationship Rule?

    NOTABLE! HEALTH QUESTION 
    Quite possibly the worst analogy I've ever read, absolutely irrelevant and an apple/giraffe comparison. I also wouldn't take marriage/relationship advice from someone who has an insect as their avatar and marries outside of their religion, which is about as valid as a conclusion as yours. Not...

    What was MJ DeMarco's Relationship Rule?

    NOTABLE! HEALTH QUESTION 
    My stomach turns whenever I see young people who just met running off to get married... oh we met 7 weeks ago and are getting married in the summer. Wow, are you that stupid? WTF is the rush? If the relationship rocks, it will also rock in 2-3 years. Freaking wait. Discover each other. Grow...

    Opportunities in Pickleball?

    IDEA 
    I consider my wife a longevity expert; she literally has consumed 1000s of hours of expert testimony from people who study long, healthy life. She ventures into all types of echo chambers in search of truth (the proverbial vegan eavesdropping in the carnivore camp and vice versa). In her study...

    SCALING 
    When Amazon comes knocking at your door wanting to invest in your company it's time to celebrate right? One would think... However here is what one author says is the Amazon way of business, conducted via their Alexa Fund... 1) Claim an investment interest in a new innovative tech company...

    HOT! CHAT 
    My dog attacked a skunk and he literally mouthed it up and shook it like a rag doll for 3 minutes before the stench forced him to drop it. He started foaming at the mouth and nearly had a heart attack after. It was pretty scary stuff. We spent hours trying to clean him and he stunk up the...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    I think this format might be promising, the ads blend in really nicely and it gives you a chance to deliver value in the ad. Many times I find myself reading some of the ads, not knowing they are ads. The key is, if the ad delivers value as a response, it likely will generate a click.
