    Best Whiskey you've ever had

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Another vote for Pappy Van Winkle here. Befriended a bartender and started talking about how I wondered if I could tell the difference between a good whiskey and a great whiskey. Gave me a pour of 12 year scotch then a pour of Pappy. And the answer . . . yes . . . yes I can tell the...

    Location-independent/digital nomad lifestyle - ask me anything

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm probably one of the few (only?) on here that fall into that category, so if you have any specific questions ask away. The short answer is the way you do it without (requiring) living in SEA is by making (and spending) more money. Real business, real business income, without the location...

    I'm back in Athens for the next 5 weeks if anyone is here and wants to meet up.

    Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but is there a way to have Trello sync so I can use it offline? It's been incredibly helpful to get all of my tasks out of my head and have Trello "remember" them for me, but I find myself completely lost now when I can't get online.

    So you want to move to Scottsdale?

    MEETUPS 
    Maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, but why are you looking for a furnished place? Just because you're not bringing furniture with you, or are you looking for a month to month type arrangement? If you're looking for month to month furnished, @biophase is right, they're either rented out...

    Painting Business

    I'm not in the painting biz, but I'm in an old school industry that share's a lot of similarities. As has been said already in this thread, the barriers are a lot highter than you might think at first. In fact the short list of issues you mention in your post are actually a pretty big barrier...

    How does Britain possibly leaving the EU effect the world?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Even assuming it has a negative economic impact on the UK in the medium term, that's a small price to pay to regain your national sovereignty and give a huge middle finger to a bunch of bureaucrats in Brussels. And that's a big assumption and a bet I wouldn't take. It amazes me how fast things...

    Not at all, but it's not really a tough choice whether to spend the summer in Greece or Flagstaff.

    Treat Every Customer Like Your Only Customer

    PEOPLE 
    I agree with the general principle. Sometimes, though, you just have to fire a customer that is too much of a pain in the a$$. I've had to learn this several times when a client was eating up far more than their share of my limited resources (mental and physical). When one bad client is...

    Haha you guys crack me up. It's like you're arguing over whether it's worse to get kicked in the balls or punched in the throat. I grew up in AZ and you will never catch me there in June, July or August. NEVER. I'd much rather suffer as a refugee somewhere with a beach.

    Upwork Increasing Fees for Clients & Freelancers

    I basically use Upwork as a consolidated, automated payment processor for all of my contractors. Has anyone come across a better solution for this?

    Awesome tip. I just added the Trello email address to my contacts. Now when I'm out and get an email on my phone that needs to be followed up later it's as easy as forwarding the email and now it's staring me in the face when I get back to my computer.

    I've been using a high tech system of notepad text files for the last year (no paper and pens for this guy). I stumbled across this thread today and set up a Trello board and migrated everything from notepad in about an hour. I've already knocked out a couple of small (but important) tasks...

    Check out the Arcadia and Biltmore areas of Phoenix too. They're my favorite part of the whole valley, but it really depends on your taste.

    Booking a one way ticket and starting a new life?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Go for it. I've "technically" been homeless for over two years now, with a wife and two little kids. I wouldn't change a thing. Keeping with the fastlane analogy, it's like a turbo charger for life. You cram so much more living into every day. You will have more life experiences in a month...

    Drink a beer (or 2) and then pick up the phone. Yes, I am 100% serious. It works for millions of men every Friday and Saturday night.

    Streamline, systematize and automate A as much as possible and as quickly as possible. Then take the extra time and money and shift your focus to B. Your question is really just an excuse to do neither.

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    I would be VERY cautious purchasing property in Greece right now. I have family and friends there and spend around 3 months there every year. They have done some very screwy things with property taxes over the last couple of years. It wouldn't surprise me at all to wake up one morning and...
