    MARKETING CHAT 
    I'm learning how to properly setup GoogleAds, and I have a problem now. I set it up for 10€/day, maximize clicks, 0.5€ max CPC bid, 13 keywords all phrase match and 2 negative keywords (android, free). After 24h there was only 72 impressions of the the ad. I have no idea how to tell am I bidding...

    My opinion hasn't changed since my last post above. I'm doing 100-300€ monthly for one time purchase software monthly, so I'm way smaller fish than you or Tau Ceti. Probably best to adjust your value of my opinion accordingly.

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Damn, I was posting yesterday about that feeling of "buying the ticket". And it's so true. Today I found out that only thing that is outside of my control will be 99.99% (knock on wood) resolved shortly after New Year. After that, my only barrier to semi-permanent move to SEA is making enough...

    Sure, but I wanted so say something else. If you had a conversation with your wife, and she's fully on board with this. And you have a conversation with the kids what are they thinking about. And you already know what you want. The rest becomes math. As in, these are the goals and constraints...

    Realistically, even if you had none of those barriers for moving, it would still take at least a couple of months to move. So the difference between 3,4 months to 18 months is small IMO. That leaves you plenty of time to setup everything, maybe the wife can find another remote job, find a place...

    Do I need to unstuck? And how?

    QUESTION 
    I read this post at least 6 times, and I still don't understand what exactly are you asking. You started a business, it's going well, money is coming in, 10k/m, you are planning to grow it, growing has challenges, you have ideas how to address those challenges. But you don't consider yourself a...

    Regarding Godot, anyone who has spent any time in that Discord should've figured out which way the bread is buttered. There is a reason no studios decided to use Godot if the aren't a really small team. Everything about Godot is so loud compared to how inconsequential the actual engine is to the...

    Well... I could write a 10000 word post about what I don't like here. Weather is a part of it, that's why I write posts here. But the reality is that if I don't like everything around me I'm the problem. I'm simply not happy with myself and others here on any possible metric. And that means I...

    I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Are you asking me what is the time frame or what has prompted me to consider moving?

    Currently in Croatia. Most likely Bangkok, it ticks almost all boxes, and I already tested living there and all over Thailand. I will try BGC Manila, Cebu Island, Da Nang, Saigon and Kuala Lumpur before making final decision. I would love to test living in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan or...

    Adaptation is the real problem. I definitely cannot take all the swings. I assume most people would adapt to most weather if it's stable. As an example, yesterday it was 31/15C, today it's raining whole day and it's 14/10C. My head hurts the whole day because of the pressure drop. Hopefully it's...

    How do I check whether the page is genuine? Warning of Impostor Website Scam Scheme

    QUESTION 
    I'm writing this more as a train of thought. Problem is that I don't understand the mechanics of your industry, what are you trying to achieve or where you are in the world. That's why this is so confusing. I try to put myself in your shoes, and many questions pop up immediately. Are you going...

    Slight rant but it is what it is. I think more and more that I'm not fit to deal with all the weather changes. When the 35+C heatwaves started 2 months ago, it took me good 2 weeks to adapt, after which it was as fine all things considered. Max daily has been 30+C from June to August. Even...
