    They're hungry sales people, so now is always the best time for them to get a juicy 7% of your "biggest asset".

    Glad you're all safe. :) Intuition is more than just coincidence. You can ponder whether it's metaphysical somehow, or just people filtering information they're hardly conscious of, but it's one of our more valuable survival tools either way. Another one is rationality, which sometimes seems at...

    Maybe he's trying to say Robert does not like bad things... and Robert is not like meat? So Robert is a vegetable who likes goodness, possibly. I get so confused by these logical quandaries. :inpain:

    I would tell her that I go to charity events just so I can slip and fall and sue the charity for all their money. And that's how I buy the cool cars. There's no right answer with these morons anyway, so just let them boil over. I don't actually have expensive cars... may I should buy one just...

    If someone offered you a CEO job for millions, would you take it?

    But in reality the two things go hand in hand. Nobody makes 100 million by flipping sofas on craigslist one at a time. They do it by freeing up their personal time and maximizing the leverage on their unique skills and resources. They are in effect making most of their income passive (it's...

    Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Self-Defense Systems - What Do You Practice?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    My scenario is tongue-in-cheek, but there's also some truth to it. Enemies strike when you least expect them, so the timeline would have to be long enough that their preparations are diffuse. Naturally, a personal service like this isn't worth the risk for most people, but similar services...

    Self defense drills... here's a scenario. You hire a company, and some time in the next 2 years, they tear gas your house and shoot everyone who runs out with paintball guns. Or they ambush you in the work parking lot, also with non-lethal but very stressful force. Sounds unpleasant, but maybe...

    Probably until I was 30 or so I had very low self esteem, and hardly realized it. But the voice in my head was absolutely toxic... I would never think that way now. The book that I credit with making me realize that, and figure out how to change it, was Self Esteem by McKay and Fanning...

    What hobby or business is good to expand social circle?

    PEOPLE 
    I know I already answered but... any business where you're talking to other business people. Or driven people who aren't dependent on their employers because they have unusually high levels of expertise and independence. Also... not sure op is here anymore. Haven't seen any responses from them.

    So much of the discomfort could be avoided if people would just wear ear protection while engaging in tank battles.

    Yeah, never go down the road of multiple battery systems. It's a nightmare. Now my drill, my flashlight, my driver, my angle grinder, and my computer all run on 20v MAX... same charger for everything :rofl:

    Headed to defcon next week. Kept trying to think how to rig up a hack-box in a short time. Here's what I came up with... - Raspberry Pi, because they're laying around - Custom enclosure (I'm fabricating/bending from ABS sheet and polycarbonate) - Portable tablet-style monitor from Amazon - Mini...

    My brother in law gave me a bottle of Port wine that was worth a few hundred dollars. I thanked him, and told him I would bring it back and drink it with him when it's worth $1,000. I fully intend to do that. Funny side story. My father was hunting with some people in Scotland. The host said...
