    Life just got an upgrade, man! 'All at once, the clouds are parted, light streams down, in bright unbroken beams.' (Cue Church Pipe Organ music).... ;-) Just ordered one.

    The Costa Ricans have an ultra-sophisticated technologically-advanced coffee system that everyone uses. It looks like this: I've always jokingly referred to this as the 'dirty sock.' Surprisingly, it makes a damn good cup of coffee if you use boiling water and actually clean it every now...

    Seconding a post from: jon.a Logitech Ergo wireless trackball (latest version is M575). They have a fancier version now too with a wrist angle option. I've used these for years and (I suppose) mice are highly subjective. However, when you get used to these they're fantastic and there is...

    This exact Thermos brand stainless-steel tumbler (16-oz) is pretty awesome, it eliminates coffee spills while driving and maintains its temperature. I don't drive anywhere without one of these. When this thing is closed, you can hold it upside down with scalding coffee inside and it won't drip...

    Anybody else go through a little bit of a rage phase after learning the truth about most 9-5's?

    FTE 
    Many folks take a job for perceived job security. What they don't tell you, is that an employee is the most expendable asset. What really shifted for me is the realization that you're exposed (as an employee) to the fundamental aspects of the business just like the owner is. The security is...

    Let’s be real: If you're over 35, you don't have a chance.

    He IS absolutely right, and those who agree with him ARE absolutely right. Luckily most of us are not in that group!

    Testing New Product - The Belvedere

    I like the product and have been frustrated many times by suit bags. A whole suitcase full of clothes and the suit bags do nothing to eliminate wrinkles. I agree that a video might be a good move, but so far the idea seems solid and 'if it works well in practice' I can see it being successful...

    What's going on with Elon Musk? Eccentric or going mad?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    In my book he's earned the right to have a Howard Hughes moment or two. He probably takes on too much stress and with Tesla probably takes the media too seriously. But who knows? It was a totally uncalled-for comment, a real case study in how to shoot oneself in the balls for no reason...

    How to profit from poor people

    SPEEDWAY 
    I've been thinking of the Dollar-type stores for a while. Ever hear the term "retail apocalypse"? It mostly refers to Amazon and other online influences massively disrupting the previous retail status quo in the US. Many 80's-era malls are going out of business, and there's a lot of...

    The true Darwin award winners

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hey wait a minute. With technology you can freeze eggs or sperm which can produce offspring at some point in the future (i.e. after your death) so I would not agree with this. Anyone in this business BTW? :-) Christopher Walken for example might have been a closet obsessive sperm donor his...

    Earning $2,000,000 a day. Fastlane?

    HOT! 
    My son and all his friends are nuts about it. As other mentioned, Epic Games (the author the of Fortnite and the Unreal Engine behind it), noticed the shift to "games as a service" a few years ago, and pivoted from their past success models. Fortnite was cranked out in a few months from a...

    Business Success when there's no Middle Class

    HOT! 
    Always tough to predict the future but I too think about this stuff all the time. A lot of predictions about automation and so on are pretty ominous with respect to the middle class as we know it. But there are some pretty solid trends. Freelancing is only on the rise, and depending on which...

    Feeling tired comparing myself to wealthy scripted family

    Yeah man, welcome to the black sheep club. I can completely relate; two older brothers, both successful. The oldest one loves to chime every time I see him that 'he's got more loose change in his couch than I make in a year.' He's done that for 20 years. But money is just money, frankly the...

    Successful launch of Elon Musk's Telsa in Space

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This car floating in space is the ultimate entrepreneur's statement and I can't seem to get it out of my mind. I think its really the watershed moment for all entrepreneurs worldwide. Electric cars? They'd never fly! Private space program? Only governments could pull that off!

    C- its collaborative. There multiple random stakeholders who can direct outcome. E- a dime a dozen, despite the 15 years it takes to become one of us. N- we create an uber expensive product for a niche market once every 25-75 years. T- 110% of your time until death, in exchange for a modest...

    Does wealth require you to become ruthless?

    Ramsay does have a reputation as a dick though. A raging attitude is good for everyone to not get complacent and let bullshit distract you, there's some positive motivational stuff there. I think Pena's saying, have a super work ethic, disregard convention, and don't be a pussy. Being...

    Great thread. MJ's contribution is pretty telling, too. Ask yourself the question as a customer. Was this iPad Pro I just bought created by someone ruthless? If so, did that influence your buying decision? Did you use Google today because the founders are such great guys? Or was your...

    Well I hate to clog up the forum with this stuff (going back and forth), but you've presented some pretty good articles there. The Chemical of the Day site seems very rational and balanced in its approach. The other article about this on the site is a better summary: Chemical of the Day -...
