    Just saw this video suggested to me on YouTube that reminded me of the subtitle chat here a few weeks ago, and why it's more common to watch with them now. Super basic recap is that there are 2 things going on. One being that movies are now being mixed with the optimal, highest level of...

    My Dad is an electrician looking to start winding down as he gets older, and is thinking about starting a little test and tag business. Not sure what licensing is required for this in the states, but in Australia I don't believe you need a full electrical contractors license to do it. Seems like...

    Damn, that's pretty cool! I only kart with some friends once a year or so. I'd love to get more into it. The rental karts in Australia suck haha. I always enjoy visiting the track in Phuket when I'm on holiday there as they're not as safety conscious and you can rent a kart that actually has...

    Language barrier hasn't been a problem for me. I really like the city and find there are countless restaurants and rooftop bars and the like. I found it far more interesting than Singapore. I've been coming here every 2 to 3 weeks since April but back to being based in Bali next month...

    Yeah, but it's always just the threat of it happening. In the end it never goes through or gets reversed pretty much straight away. I remember a few years ago they were talking about making sex outside marriage illegal in Bali. Good luck with that... And the case you mention just sounds like a...

    Haha yeah, the beds are not fabric and the pillows and blankets are on top inside a sealed plastic wrap bag so you know they have been cleaned. Better than most of the cinemas I have been to in Australia actually.

    Damn I love going out for lunch or dinner in Jakarta. Food and drinks (too much to finish) for 2 people for about 20 USD. My girlfriend is Indonesian and thought it was a rip off though lol Then going to a movie in a velvet class cinema which is a giant bed with food and drinks delivered for...

    I'm a huge fan of F1, but it always amazed me how much they were leaving on the table when it was being run by an 80 year old man who had zero idea of modern marketing. I'd like to say I'm surprised by the massive increase in revenue since the Americans at Liberty Media took over, but a blind...

    Man that sucks, I haven't used Upwork in 5 years but it was great back then. Sounds like they sealed their fate.

    I had a friend watch everything with subtitles on. I thought it was weird to begin with but now I actually prefer it as well. My girlfriend is Indonesian so always has Bahasa subtitles on and it's helping me learn the language so much faster.

    Sounds like the angry South African mechanic I have at my job site. 15 people share this work ute and I'm the only one that takes it to the workshop straight away when there's any issues, so I always get the disgusted disapproving look and treated to an angry tirade as if I'm the one trashing...

    Moving to Bali

    I've seen some recent videos showing many parts of Athens looking like a drug and crime infested hellhole. On the other hand, I had friends that recently went to some more rural parts of Greece and said it's now one of their favourite parts of the world, and they've been absolutely everywhere.

    Haha yeah you definitely need to learn how to drive a scooter if you want to live in south east Asia. The not allowing females to own a business is news to me though. I know many Western women that own businesses over there and they certainly aren't treated like 2nd class citizens. Maybe it is a...

    Plenty of nice places in Bali. Legian st sucks though. If you go to the crappiest street in any big tourist places you're of course going to have problems. If I had a family though, I'd choose Thailand over Bali

    Thanks for this! This guy was a bit of a legend at a coworking space in Bali I was living at about ten years ago. He once gave a talk about his system for launching new products and services which was great. 10 years. Holy shit... Interesting to hear him talk about requiring a much higher...

    I had an argument with a friend a few months ago (he was drunk while I was sober though) and he genuinely believes, whole heartedly, that all rich people are the type that will pick up a 50 cent coin from the gutter and that's the type of mentality you need.
