    I am. I'm currently taking prednisolone eye drops as I recover from eye surgery. Started at 4 drops a day but I've tapered down to 1. Let me know if you have any questions.

    It's more than that. Yes, they're designed for efficient assembly, which is different than designing for easy, cost-effective repairs. The bigger issue is the business model changed. It used to be the companies expected to make their profits from the original sale. Later repair support was...

    I have my own air popper and don't bother with packaged options, but I figure humidity is the issue. Get a hygrometer and see what happens at different RH levels.

    Sounds like AI automation opportunity. It could scan posts as they're submitted an offer a warning and chance to correct: "This post appears to be about politics, which isn't allowed on this forum." Buttons "Not political, continue" and "edit post."

    They already have. The Fed controls monetary policy, which USED to be the dominate factor. But fiscal policy (government spending and taxes) dominates now.

    Looks like a shorting opportunity. But my platforms don't allow shorting BTC, so I'm sitting this one out.

    Dude. Come on. I disagree with @Supa on politics, but he's totally right here. Continuing to discuss politics here is disrespectful to our host.

    That's quite the bet! I'd be more inclined to take the opposite side. Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. Gold has had quite the run. I won't say there isn't more opportunity to the upside, but the higher it climbs the more room there is to fall.

    Hopefully it's clear that we're describing cultural differences, not racial differences. It's easy to conflate the two, and natural for people to be surprised when they start doing business with different cultures. There are East-Asian cultures where the norm is for each party to try and take...

    Thanks for clarifying. In your previous post it kinda sound like you'd double the price as soon as you figured the client was Indian. A practice that would be problematic. This post clarifies that you watch for certain *behaviors* that will trigger the higher quote. This is the way.

    I'm trying to picture how this works in practice. At what point do you or your employees decide "ok, this person is getting the 2x rate."

    It's a national defense issue, and the US government recognizes the problem. There's a lot of money to be made producing drones for the military.

    Does trading (stock/bonds/crypto) make CENTS?

    INVESTING 
    I totally agree that Need is the toughest one here. And that I strongly prefer businesses where it's obvious what need they're filling. Heck, I really prefer it to be tangible. My background is in manufacturing. I sidestepped describing the need it fills as that discussion is rather esoteric...

    Does trading (stock/bonds/crypto) make CENTS?

    INVESTING 
    If you'd care to elaborate where it fails the CENTS framework I'd appreciate it. I see it as similar to being an author: it's very difficult to be good enough to make it, but if you do the payoff is there.
