    How do you feel of a portable AC that will cool you down in hot weather?

    IDEA 
    The US might be a big market, but it isn't the only market. It's warming up a bit in Europe as well. I mean, you wouldn't know it here as it's been raining for most of July, but I read that some bits of mainland Europe / Med area are pretty warm.

    I don't find a great thread that I read few weeks ago.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There's a "watch" button in the top right corner, there might be somewhere to bring up all your watched threads.

    Welcome, from another UK-based (former-ish) software developer.

    Does it matter? If you're writing the content and getting someone else to illustrate it, you could just use Notepad and it'd be fine. A bit of a waste of time looking at what to edit it with, IMO.

    Learning a skill and making fast money

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's only come back up the list because of the ChatGPT poster, prior to that it had gone dormant of it's own accord. But the OP is still active on the board, so maybe they're taking on information from the other threads and forming a different view.

    For future reference I think the easiest way is to click the "Report" button in the bottom left corner of the post. I think there's a comment box where you could put why you're reporting it, in case @Andy Black isn't watching next time.

    There's something about it that doesn't sound right, apart from being basically off-topic and not really answering the OPs question. The poster's only other post has been removed because it was ChatGPT text.

    HOT! CHAT 
    I used to work with someone that was always late for meetings, no matter how important the people we were meeting. If it was really important, we'd just tell him the meeting was 15 minutes earlier than it really started. Doesn't really work when you set your own meetings. In days gone by I...

    Looking for a change

    OP hasn't been on here since October 2019, hopefully because they're really busy with their business.

    How can I find my "Lambo"?

    HOT! MINDSET QUESTION 
    Presumably it will take some money to move to Italy and get citizenship, and then to continue to live there? Then, that's your "Lambo". Or maybe it's the difference between just about being able to get to Italy and exists there, or to live somewhere really nice. I've never been to Italy, but it...

    Feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances I'm in and feeling that any way out is not worth pursuing.

    MINDSET 
    It's also worth considering that your friend may be shooting holes in your business idea because it's not something they've thought of, perhaps they're entrenched in their 9-5 job and a tiny part of them wants you to be stuck in yours too, so they shoot down your idea.

    Finding common problems businesses face

    IDEA FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    Well, that's the whole key to things - spotting something that people need help with, and figuring out a way to help them. I expect it varies in each individual case. Instead of targeting entrepreneurs, just try thinking of something that will help people you already know or have easy access to...

    Feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances I'm in and feeling that any way out is not worth pursuing.

    MINDSET 
    If you're underpaid for the skills you have, is there an opportunity to change job to get a higher income, to ease the pressure on that side for a while, or are those the other trades that come with other caveats? When you say you're "far underpaid", how can you improve that, even if it's only...

    I want to work hard for little money

    INTRO 
    Just picking on that one thing - put yourself in the position of the person who receives your email, and then think of the other hundred emails they get every day. Yours is asking them to sit down and spend time thinking of a list of things that they need, without any idea of whether you are...

    I AM GOING TO GIVE MORE VALUE THAN AMAZON

    HOT! MINDSET 
    "I am going to give more value than Amazon" doesn't really say much either - in certain fields, I already do that, but you don't want to emulate what I'm doing. Good, but again concentrate on what you're going to do, not who you can rival / prove wrong / give more value than.

    Didn't you read the original post? He's given up EVERYTHING - all the mass of tasks and responsibilities that a 15-16 year old has. Seriously though, some detail from the OP might make the posts a little more credible, and stop everyone just taking the mickey. Great to have a goal, now flesh...

    Idea feedback: Inventory Management System

    IDEA 
    Inventory management / stock control has been done so many times for so many businesses you'd need to have something very special to make yours stand out from the crowd. What will that be? "Easy to use" and "better inventory management" are pretty generic terms - the software I wrote in the...

    I presumed it was people who live locally and would rather push their shopping home in a wheeled thing than transfer it to bags and carry it home, i.e. the bone idle. A lot of the supermarkets here (UK) use security systems to prevent them from being taken past a certain perimeter, but as...

    Headlight polishing at home

    Really? So the only solution is to replace the headlight? I have an old Audi and yellowed and fading headlights are pretty much standard equipment on old Audis.

    How do I make money off my Programming Skills?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    OK, try that. Maybe don't stop after 2-3 hours though, it seems a bit pointless to put a limit on before you've even started. The trouble with writing operating systems is that not many people want an OS that isn't one of the mainstream ones, and I say that as someone who spent a lot of years...
