    Is this a good time to travel to Europe for vacations?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Considering the pace of just food price increases in europe in hand with business insolvencies, it may best to only go (in the middle of the oncoming dark winter) if you are very wealthy and don't mind drastically overpaying for everything and your basic necessities on the trip.

    My experience in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber (HBOT)

    HEALTH 
    HBOT therapy looks very promising and has also come up in treatment for people with cancer. Unfortunately, it's also expensive. I ended up looking into but had to choose on starting on buteyko breathing instead (breathing lightly and slowly enough to simulate air deprivation- replicates the...

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I'd love to say "Glad I don't have to be in Europe right now" but have the oddest feeling sh!t like this will be in the U.S. soon. (Didn't california just declare a grid emergency this week after shutting down a bunch of nuclear plants? Ditto for France)

    Alright. like 430 calls at this point, FIRST SALE came through... it's like 150$ + 10$mo for hosting and I was able to get them to pay for and set up their domain name so I won't be stuck with the renewal.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I've gotten flak from older people for years for saying this, but this has always been the natural end point of speculating on land and housing and treating it like an asset instead of simply a place to live or be. We're already at the point where my generation and Zoomers are expected to be...

    Alright, 2 weeks and roughly 270 calls, 51 of those today. Maybe not as delightful as the first week when I ran into a lot of nice business owners, but still doable nonetheless.
