    Observations From Around the Globe

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I really want to check out Lisbon. I've only heard good things from friends that have been. I really liked Copenhagen. You can also catch a train over the Oresund to Sweden in no time at all. I was only there for a long weekend though. I think I may have been bored if I was there for a whole...

    How Much Is Luck vs Hard Work

    QUESTION 
    I don't really understand the point of this. Not really thought provoking at all. I like MJ's gumball theory when it comes to "luck."

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    Yeah. I'm all for healthy scepticism but guys like him are so far at the extreme that it actually become suspicious. In this case, the worst part is that people like him hold the keys to what kind of access is allowed.

    Well, Joe Rogan finally got his hands on Zahi Hawass, the Egyptian archeologist that has been the governments head of antiquities in one shape or another for decades. The guy is famous for being universally hated by other researchers for his blocking and refusal to accept any ideas that don't...

    I really liked the American Underworld series by James Ellroy (also wrote LA confidential and The Black Dahlia). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld_USA_Trilogy

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    Oh man.. A woman with low self-esteem due to childhood trauma has to be one of the hardest breakups. She's great in every other aspect but the need for constant reassurance and wanting you to be their therapist because she refuses to see one is so draining. I've been pretty good at dealing with...

    I'm just happy "that's a vibe" seems to have died. I used to work with a bunch of kids in their early 20's and the way they would try their hardest to squeeze that one in was F*cking cringe.

    Maybe using a vehicle for interstellar travel doesn't hold up as well for atmospheric entry. Or they have learned from the issues over the last 80 years. Not like we hear about crashes anymore. That doesn't really fly though if you also believe that they have been visiting for thousands of...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Agreed. This is one of the best service biz threads anywhere on the internet. I used to live with a guy like Johnny who was growing a service biz and it was great to see the behind the scenes. Now I'm surrounded by wage slaves and it sucks lol. Hopefully this thread continues!

    Ha, I'm looking at a 2016 car this weekend with only 65000 KMs. The others this age have double that. An old grandpa owns it and has a service history logbook. Let's see. Not sure I'd trust a modern car with 150 thousand miles though. My old mechanic had a 35 year old Toyota truck with almost...

    Is minimalism a coping mechanism in response to stress?

    MINDSET 
    My Dad is an electrician and would hoard things in the garage and sheds. My mum would hoard things more inside the house. Both would hypocritically accuse each other of being hoarders :rofl: I wouldn't say they were like the people you see on hoarding tv shows lol, just too much stuff for my...

    Is minimalism a coping mechanism in response to stress?

    MINDSET 
    I think I turned to minimalism in regards to things because my parents were hoarders. Then travelling for a few years made it even more a part of me. Doesn't mean I want my bank account to be minimal though.

    The black Lambo I want to buy - Why am I not rich yet?

    I'm with you. I just want to keep having simple Toyota's that I don't even have to think about. I kinda like old classic cars though. I find it a bit amusing to see car reviewers talk about how much faster this is over that, I mean, when are you ever going to go that speed on a public road...

    Quit Alcohol. Try it.

    MINDSET 
    Yeah. One of them just lost a 250k construction job for failing a drug test. He had fake piss but didn't get it at the right temperature and got busted. It was a TOTAL effing pain to have to rely on someone that was hungover at work too.

    Quit Alcohol. Try it.

    MINDSET 
    Coming up to a year of no alcohol now. I'm so happy I did this, and it was actually kind of by accident. Maybe a few times in the first 6 months I kind of wanted to, like when everyone at a conference was having a few drinks at the end. But now I have zero desire. Actually less than that - the...

    Congrats! That's awesome. Why not expand in a bigger area/city? I like Tommy Mello in regards to growing a service biz. His is garage doors. He also works closely with a guy that specialises in setting up SOP's for growth in service biz. Yeah a friend of mine has been stuck at 3 vans for a...

    Nice! I can't wait to get a home theatre again. Perfect movie to test it out too. On a side note about movies, there is a new one out called Warfare from Alex Garland that is getting great reviews from Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. Which makes sense as Garland also had an Iraqi war veteran...
