Did you get tested or staying under the radar as well?

I got a rapid antigen test and tested positive twice 3 days apart.
There is a one week wait to get PCR results, seems pointless to do one.
Shocked at the obsession with this still... I live with people that are covid religionists.
They caught it even wearing masks, and I said to them that it means the masks worked.
I can't help but poke fun at these people now.
A society obsessed with illness is certainly not healthy.

What do people in Australia think now after so many months of lockdowns, travel bans, separated families, violated freedoms, etc. only to in the end end up in the exact same spot as the rest of the world?

I assume they still applaud the "leaders"? LOL.

It's a mix of everything. Many people think it is a crock of BS.
But you still have the religionists that want to be locked down even harder, and the government is amazing.
People have actually migrated to Australia over this time... Just shows how differently people view the world.

What about your plans to move to Florida? Still working on it?

It's pretty much back to normal now here.
You can do what you like, and NSW have dropped V passports.
It's more so now, just tolerating the mindset of people about this, how scared some are.
I don't want to leave family either.

What the heck is going on with Djokovic? Any tennis fan who can fill me in?

He's didn't get the jab and thought he could get into Australia (he's been invited, actually, but who cares).

How dares he? We better lock him up, take his phone, let the police question him for two days, publicly humiliate him, send him to a detention camp, and then home.

It's the new normal.

It's political, other players had an exemption and got in, without any hassle he has had.
He will play.

Thanks, that's probably part of it, but many of the registrations mentioned that they read my work, which suggests its not entirely it.

Maybe a delay from this video...

People order the book, read it during the holidays, and then sign up in the new year.

But that video is two months old though so maybe not.

Could you add a question that asks people where they found you from?

Class action lawsuit filed in California alleging Google is paying Apple to stay out of the search engine business

/PRNewswire/ -- California Crane School, Inc. filed a class action antitrust case [3:21-cv-10001, C.C.S.I. v Google LLC] on 12/27/21 against Google and Apple...

www.prnewswire.com

Wow, this is the first I’m hearing of this, pretty crazy if it’s true.

I’d never thought of it before but Apple could start a search engine and dominate the market so easily.

I wonder if this was another bit of their motivation to destroy Facebook ads tracking.

Guy I live with made 500k AUD profit this year in his 4th year of being a tradie, himself and a second van driver he put on 12 months ago. He's putting another 2 on this year and will be completely off the tools in a few months.

Bonus points for getting involved in a trade that specialises in tv services lol, people gots to have their MSM on a brand new 85 inch Samsung that's wall mounted.

I’m one of his happy customers.

As Mj mentioned, answering the phone and showing up on time are value skews in the trades because most are so useless.

However, this business uses google ads/seo and a direct response style landing page that’s basically a long form sales page like a guru course to sell a trade. It’s awesome, I’m not surprised he is doing so well.

I was going for a walk yesterday morning and saw a cleared lot full of heavy duty equipment and truck trailers. It just fired me up and I couldn't figure out why.

I just kept thinking about it. And thinking about it. About 1km of walking later it finally hit me. Human started on a raw virgin planet with literally nothing. We had earth and stone, plant life, and animals.

We were able to take the raw environment around us and completely bend it to our will. Look at what we can do now!

Sure luxury and comforts are cool, but seeing the fires of industry is what really gets me excited. Humans did this. We did this! All through the power of thought and action.

I hope that my great great grandchildren are having these same thoughts as they blast around the stars and hop between planets.

I work in the mines and man I get hard every time a Cat 797 drives past. All the boys says the exact same thing.

Whoa. Over 560k views on that video!

I follow a fitness influencer with a similar following who’s posted about this book on his Instagram stories a few times. Create a good product and it markets itself. He doesn’t do paid promos for other products as he makes too much selling his own stuff but if he did this is definitely $1000s worth of free marketing.

Just because someone listens, doesn’t mean they agree with you.

Apple should just stop taking the money and make a search engine. Bing sucks, and Google censors search results.

Could you add a question that asks people where they found you from?

I try to minimize questions as more fields lowers conversion. The current question simply asks "Why are you joining?" and many mention my work to some degree. This field also does the work of filtering out spammers as many use that field to post affiliate links, MMO opps, and other BS.

(5) suppression of the competition of smaller competitors and foreclosing competitors from the search market; (6) acquiring actual and potential competitors.

Not surprising. Most top search results on Google are big corporations and narrative-feeding media empires, long gone are the days when a small company from Cedar Rapids Iowa could show up #1 for a particular search.

Sometimes I image the world if Google and Facebook were wiped off the face of the planet.... we'd live in a much more pleasant world.

Apple should acquire duck duck go. Can you imagine the duck logo? It would be sleek as hell.

In all seriousness, the door is open for Apple to just take a stronger and more public stand on privacy.

I think it would be cool for them to make a search engine, BUT I'm not too hopeful about how they would handle it.

They would probably run it just like Google, with the same censorship and selling out. Coke & Pepsi.

Duck Duck Go is its own thing, and it's pretty good.

It is hot here. Just ordered my kids an inflatable pool off Amazon. Not gonna lie, I am pretty excited for it haha. They can splash in the back yard and I can finish Rat Race while watching them.

You should change your location to Mexico because it's kind of confusing to see Canada and hot in the same sentence, particularly now lol.

My dad sent me a message yesterday and said that it was the same temperature where he is and where I am, except his had a " - " in front

Any favorite videos when he's showing something and not simply talking to the camera?

Just listen to it like a podcast then, while going for a walk?

That's my problem. I almost never listen to podcasts and if I do, just to long-form ones on long drives. I find talking head extremely boring. I'm actually surprised how popular these are.

I'm changing up the copy on my offer and I sort of stumbled upon an interesting discussion about crafting offers.

Is it better to make an offer that sounds good, but doesn't mention the mechanism you use to get the results?
Or is it better to make an offer that sounds good and mentions the mechanism you use to get the results?

Example:
I help 2X your profits - with a 100% moneyback guarantee. (no mechanism)
I help 2X your profits by building you a premium website - with a 100% moneyback guarantee. (with mechanism.)

Also: If you feel this is worthy of a poll, I can make one.

I am about to attempt walking 1km from the local oxxo back home, carrying a 20L water jug in each hand. Wish me luck.

 

[WillHurtDontCare]

Lots of crazy people don't look like crazy people.

Some are 98% normal and 2% "holy F*ck what is wrong with you; I need to go back to church."
