Most importantly: Only ink matters. Nothing else. It doesn't matter what they say. Whatever you agree upon, be it the money itself or how they actually influence your business, do not under any circumstances rely on any agreement made verbally. It's in the contract, in the law, or it's void...

The extracted gold won't be of the quality needed to sell it directly to customers and will be mixed up with lots of other materials. You'll have to sell directly to the parting work, I guess. It's certainly better than just throwing that stuff in the trash, but if you calculate the time you...

I accept the fact that most often in life, you make decisions based on imperfect information. And that's just normal. When it comes to making those decisions in the first place, I learned to literally trust my guts. For some reason, my stomach and my intestines make far better decisions than my...

I'd joke about making anus rings but I'm pretty sure that would be a viable niche according to rule 34. @Gepi: Didn't happen to me, yet, but I was warned by a local jeweler who ran into some trouble with organized crime and he said that's fairly common.

Hey folks, I didn't post in a long time. Long story short: I realized I wouldn't have a lot of valuable stuff to tell until I got going, my job was getting on my nerves, and I got a tumor removed (I'll get the biopsy results in 10 days...cancer corollary, anyone?). But I think I can now post...

Remember how MJ said something about planning to sell apples but ending up with an orange slice factory? Well, you know what I mean. Anyway. My situation has improved a lot. - I found something I can do freelance and get paid for 60-150€ an hour. I'll probably discuss what it is at a later...

Work on the business, not in it, right. But may I ask: Why would you need a delivery guy if you don't have the sales to deliver? Maybe you could come to an understanding with an Uber driver, for example? I'm pretty sure that would save you some money before you'd actually have to hire someone...

Repeat after me: I'm an idiot for never having checked out Upwork when my freelance work dried up and taking a job instead. Always had it in mind as a smug Fiverr. But there's some good jobs there that pay a lot better. And a lot of jobs I'm really qualified for.

Sure. Just drop me a message. And you're never too old to learn anything. You probably learn slower, but if you're going at it with passion, you'll be far more dedicated than the common computer science student. As almost always in life, consistency is of the essence. The spasmodic Hercules...

My archery trainer said something to me that stuck with me and seems to apply to a lot of things. "The first time you hit the target, it's luck. The second time you hit the target, it's chance. The third time you hit the target: It's skill."

You're attracting the wrong kind of woman (and there are lots of those) if this truly poses a problem, or you come to a wrong understanding with them. Also, you got to figure out what you want from a woman. If it is "just sex", I can tell you that masturbation is the way to go. Because no...

Yes, that part especially rang a bell with me. People often ask me why I don't become a programmer, because I already know how to program. My reasons for this are: 1. I'm probably not good enough. Sure, I can get things to work, but far from elegant and I probably need far more time than a...

I don't know when the last time was that you used Linux. It has come quite far. I remember the days when it needed days of tweaking before even running properly. These days, it works OOTB and leaves few questions unanswered. And has great UI, too. Certain distributions have reached a level of...

11.52 PM. I wake up after falling asleep at 6:30 PM. I stare at the clock. Around five hours. That's ok. I should probably sleep a little more. The dog snores, shortly waking up, licking my hand. The dog. Who has been throwing up for weeks and finally doesn't anymore. Oh, that's going to be a...

Kid, you waltz in here, make one post, make a second post and explain to everyone how nobody here has it harder than you and how you're going to be offline because we all have boring problems. (Besides: This is a forum about entrepreneurship, did you read that?) I'd make a bet that most of us...

If it is good enough for the Finnish army, it is good enough for me: J.P. Peltonen Sissipuukko Sharp as hell. You can really hack through wood with it. "EDC" is relative. A knife this size is a no-go in Germany unless you carry it for a specific purpose. I only came into the situation once, but...

Hmmm. While eTox probably would have had a lot of insights to offer, he basically did the same as he did in my thread: Tell you it won't work because he failed to do it (in my thread, I even explicitly stated that it is close to impossible to make reasonable money as an indie game dev). There's...

Rant deleted. Whatever I write, it could be interpreted as against the law or as a threat. All hail to the government. All hail. May you forever halt all business, don't do your job anymore, and still expect us to pay taxes. I'm wasting my time here. The applications don't get processed, and I...

Fascinating how fast you can actually do your morning routine when your alarm clock failed.

I already had started two companies while at uni. One does still exist, but is more of a hobby. The second one was shut down by customs. I just started the third one. Sold my shares in that (not that it made me a lot of money). Which are the skills uni actually taught me...hmm. I became a great...
