Florida Teachers Can What?
RANTCanadians as well, but it's important to note that this is simply an issue that many non-Americans just can't relate to and it would be ignorant to casually impose the values of one country or region on another without some serious research and experience to back it up. In Ontario, where I...- JAJT

Game of Thrones Season 8 Thread (SPOILERS)
OFF-TOPICA more enjoyable episode but "rushed" is going to be the buzzword for this season, for certain. The consistency, pacing and scale is just all over the goddamn place. Every time they try to tell or show the audience something they somehow manage to screw it up, sometimes basically immediately...- JAJT

Place to go in ameriaca ?
PEOPLEHave you looked into HOW you plan to move to America? I'm Canadian, one of America's closest allies, and even we aren't allowed more than 6 months in America without a valid legal reason for being there. And I can't lift a finger (legally) to do work in America while there for those 6 months...- JAJT

Plant-Based Opportunities / Vegan Business Opportunities
HOT!Beyond Burger seems to be sweeping through Canada like wildfire. It's already on the menu at a few places I frequent, which is surprising because "smaller" US companies generally don't sweep through Canada like this. A&W being one of the larger chains that are shouting about it from the...- JAJT

Game of Thrones Season 8 Thread (SPOILERS)
OFF-TOPICYeah, honestly you could remove him ENTIRELY from the series and nothing much would change - the very definition of a bad character. As best I can tell he's little more than the magic version of a remote control drone. Except he offers no real use. If he was directing armies in the battle...- JAJT

Game of Thrones Season 8 Thread (SPOILERS)
OFF-TOPICIt was a real mess of an episode, and too dark, agreed. They had an army the likes the planet has never seen, ruled by a queen that has literal fire breathing dragons, and the entire army was dispatched in minutes. I was beyond disappointed that the best warrior races were portrayed as little...- JAJT

Anybody reading fiction??
HOT!This is largely what draws me into classical literature - the author's writing styles in those great works just seem so unique and engrossing in ways I don't normally experience. Sometimes the language is just older, sometimes it's a unique style, sometime's it's just something magically that I...- JAJT

Anybody reading fiction??
HOT!Stopped reading Wheel of Time around book 6. From talking with other folks I seem to be far from the only one to get "stuck" with his work there. The first few books were absolutely amazing though. I had to do some more digging because this is more of a story about a school board giving in to...- JAJT

Anybody reading fiction??
HOT!Some random favorites: - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Such a great read. Philosophical, entertaining and thought provoking. It's centered around a father and his son travelling on motorcycle with some friends cross country while being "haunted" by a "ghost" of the father's former...- JAJT

leaving 9-5 job
PEOPLEWhere will you get the funds to expand, grow, pay expenses, etc? I quit my job to do e-commerce full time and I basically traded no time with lots of money for no money and lots of time. Something that took me a long time to learn was that it's pretty darned hard to live on your business in...- JAJT

Tony Robbins sells out; reveals his Paradox of Practice, cringeworthy.
HOT!Does anyone else think it's funny that we crap on gurus who don't practice what they preach, yet we praise entrepreneurs who solve problems for others that they don't actually use themselves? On this forum we tend to see advice and ignore it in favor of criticizing the speaker, yet we see...- JAJT

Eric from Erics Cheesecakes
NOTABLE!Also consider that the best chefs in the world aren't always the ones in their own kitchens. They go home at night, they take days off, they travel, they eat at other restaurants, they get inspired, and leave their very capable chefs to prepare their very delicate and particular creations in...- JAJT

Eric from Erics Cheesecakes
NOTABLE!Sounds like you you've fallen into the trap of thinking you aren't replaceable. Have you read E-Myth Revisited? Because you REALLY need to. Hell, I even think the MAIN case study in that book is a bakery. Look, here's the bottom line - if you aren't replaceable, this is the math: E =...- JAJT

Are you a Multipotentialite/Polymath?
HOT! MINDSETI think the Internet has made it easier than ever to "deep dive" into multiple subjects effortlessly in ways never before possible. I'm 35 right now, which means I'm that funny generation that was old enough to know life before the internet but young enough to have basically adopted it...- JAJT

Man stole $122m from FB & Google by sending them bills.....which they paid.
FUNNYIt says he's a renowned money launderer, so my bet is that he started small, got good at it, and now this is where his comfort lies. He could probably do very well legally, but this was likely a path of least resistance, given his experience. The article says he had to forge a bunch of stuff...- JAJT

Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech
HOT!Without going through the entire thread - this basically sums up my opinions succinctly. I think there's a big difference between being simply being a "gigantic company" and being specifically and actively anti-competitive. If you're in favor of the free market, but the free market produces...- JAJT

The 5am Club - Worth it?
HOT! MINDSETI wake up at 6am every day even though I don't actually have to be up until 7am. Here's what I found: - I don't journal - I don't meditate - I don't exercise - I don't plan my day - I don't do my most important work I mean, those DO happen occasionally, especially when I'm really excited...- JAJT

Speed Reading: Is it worth it?
HOT!If you are currently reading 1-2 pages per minute - I wouldn't worry about it. If you are only reading 1 page every 2 or 3 or 4 minutes you should probably seek out to answer why and then focus on trying to get that up to the typical 1-2 pages per minute mark. Also learn to skim and stop...- JAJT

All Meetings Are A Vain Waste Of Time - No Exceptions!
RANTWe had a 1 hour sales meeting every Monday at my last job. In a room we put our head of marketing, head of engineering, head of sales and myself (I was a sort of "swing" sales guy who typically touched most opportunities across the team). In that meeting we went through the entire sales pipe...- JAJT
