    Trudeau just announced that Canada is shutting our borders and for all Canadians to get home now 'while they still can'. Airports will be denying symptomatic passengers from boarding. Exceptions exist - Americans are still allowed in for now. I suspect this is likely because of how difficult...

    Came across this randomly today, sounds scary: The neuroinvasive potential of SARS‐CoV2 In short, it sounds like they are theorizing that this disease may be neuro-invasive, meaning (if I understand this correctly), the virus can invade your central nervous system and hang around even well...

    The virus is 10 - 30x worse than the flu, by present estimates. That's not nothing and people need to stop saying it's nothing. Panic isn't overwhelming hospitals - sick people are. Not being able to get toilet paper isn't an emergency - that's just the result of panic buying. People do...

    Is Tim Ferriss a fraud?

    HOT! 
    Yes, he even admits as much IN THE BOOK! He said he had a bunch of different titles, split test them on Google (or whatever) and chose the highest converting one. The title of the book was literally an example in the book of how to put his ideas into practice in a practical way to maximize...

    Is Tim Ferriss a fraud?

    HOT! 
    I personally love a lot of Tim Ferris' work and attitude. He seeks out people who are doing amazing things in non-conventional ways and/or breaking new ground in not-yet-proven fields. I find he's one of the best casual sources for what the future might look like in a number of fields. He's...

    This brings up an important point that so many people aren't familiar with. Keep this in mind as we go forward when reading headlines: The difference between in vivo testing and in vitro testing. In Vivo = inside a living thing. Animal trials, human trials, etc. These are the headlines you...

    I read the article and it seemed to contradict itself. I think what it's TRYING to say is that anyone capable of working from home should do so, those who can't (such as delivery and warehouse) get access to a sick fund.

    Well this escalated quickly. I think there's only 2 confirmed cases in Ottawa and within the last hour I found out that: - My Disney on Ice tickets we won for the kids that was schedule for tomorrow are cancelled - Schools are closed until April (extending march break by 2 weeks) Was at the...

    Ottawa, Ontario got our first case! Kind of surprised it took this long, given that Toronto and Montreal both had cases for a while now and we're smack dab in the middle of them both. Also these three cities have quite extensive casual travel between them - especially for shopping, sports...

    My good God man. The flu itself is a serious annual disease that has every public health expert urging everyone who is capable to get the flu shot. It "only" has a death rate of something like 0.1% and represents a massive annual risk to a significant portion of the population who are older...

    One of my favorite posts in this thread. I almost feel like I'm addicted to this thread just to see what people will post next. Is it news? A conspiracy? Unfounded claim? Interesting anecdote? Mathematical extrapolation? It's almost like a soap opera that I just can't stop watching.

    Literally no expert has come close to saying this to my knowledge. In fact, they are all basically saying precisely the opposite. In fact your own video states that this is up to 10x worse than the flu (0.1 for flu, up to 1% for corona) It's totally okay to feel that this is overblown but...

    Dealing with stress and burn out?

    MINDSET 
    Meditation helps tremendously as a reset in your day. I personally find that about 10-15 minutes of genuine mindfulness meditation leaves me feeling very similar to a good night's rest - my problems aren't gone and I may still be stressed about things but I'm significantly "renewed". If you're...

    Confusing correlation with causation

    IMHO you're being too sterile / binary and not looking at this holistically. Specifically this: The issue is that you're discounting the value of these activities down to zero as they relate to success. It sounds like you're saying that correlated factors have no impact, which isn't true...

    @PTFIRE You're pretty new here so I can understand if this thread seemed vague from that perspective. To fill you in - Kenric (@biophase) is one of the most open, giving, detailed and active members on this forum. He's posted personal details regarding his decision making and aspects of his...

    Why wouldn't you be focusing on doing the exact reverse - keep doing the quoting, scheduling, customer back and forth, job applications, etc and hire someone to do the customer visits? This keeps you working on the business while getting your employees to work within it. A selfie stick would...

    I suspect that entrepreneurs also perceive being prepared in a more positive outlook than 9-5 workers. While both 9-5 workers and the self-employed are equally capable of "prepping", there's a huge difference in meaning/purpose behind the prep in these two groups. I suspect that the...

    Why not? Let's math it out: - 30 days in a month - $666 per day - Let's assume he does 4 houses in a day - That's $166 per house. This.... doesn't seem unreasonable to me. In his youtube video he offers some numbers as well: Basic washing service - $175 per house (above my $166 estimate)...
