    My wife just "retired" from teaching after 10 years. She taught inner city, but the kids weren't even the issue. It was all BS managerial stuff. She has no idea what she's doing next for her career, but I'm so glad she's out of there. I feel bad for all the good teachers who actually care...

    Lex DeVille's: One Thread For All My Genius, Unhinged, Mostly Really Bad Ideas

    It might be tough to do remotely, another service could be organizing/ cheap decorating for single guys so their apartment doesn't look like a dumpy dorm room if they have a lady visit. I know a few people who would benefit from something like this haha. As far as the dating coaching, I can see...

    Health Insurance for Entreprenuer

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm also in CT, and my wife just left her teaching job which provided insurance, so I'm in a similar situation. She took a year off in 2021, so I had to get insurance through the marketplace for that year. It was expensive then, and even more expensive now. It really blows. CT is one of the...

    Doing the absolute largest projects... But now what?

    QUESTION 
    You don't really have much then. You don't even know if it will work. It's also possible to get patents for devices that don't work: Patents for Unworkable Devices If it costs only $500 to manufacture a prototype, why don't you build one demo unit so you can get investors or pre-sell it? It...

    My process thread

    IDEA 
    There's a lot of good info on this you can lookup online. Essentially you need to look at the claims of the patent and make sure you omit at least 1 feature of the claim. For example, if the patent claims features A B C and D, you have to make sure you don't have all of those in your product...

    I just found out the world's largest robot fighting league is like 20 minutes from where I live. I'm so tempted to start building one and enter a competition. I still have a folder of a robot I designed back in 5th grade when BattleBots was on TV. Definitely adding this to the list of things...

    I would save the micdrop until you build a functioning prototype. Patents can be issued for non-functional technology!!

    This is awesome man, really impressive! If you don't mind me asking, how did you get started in this? Did you take a loan for the CNC machine and setting up the shop?

    What problem should I solve? - A paradoxical question!

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE MINDSET 
    This is interesting. I've found myself thinking more like this recently. This type of perspective seems to be well suited for people who like to design, build and make things themselves (which I'm also one of). I used to avoid thinking like this because it felt like I wasn't really solving a...

    Help Choose a Business Name for Beeswax Crayons!

    IDEA 
    First or second one. I personally like 2 because of the alliteration. Third one could sound dirty. Four is hard to know the spelling of someone says it.

    I could see this being really fun. I sold a bunch of "junk" a few years ago when my grandfather died and it can be surprising what things people find valuable. He had an old school print shop with manual printing presses and had boxes of old lead slugs (strips). Apparently there is a community...

    Quick update. Worked out a simple partnership with a Korean radio station in LA. They have a website with news, forums, classifieds, etc., and they offered to put an ad for our organization website on their home page for free. It went live yesterday, so that's cool. It seems like they are...

    Existential Thoughts: Change My Mind

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Seems like your thinking is very self-focused. Not saying there's anything wrong with that necessarily, but why should our goal in life be to maximize our own enjoyment and pleasure? Putting my own personal faith aside, I think putting the happiness of others ahead of yourself is more...
