babyboy808on Ask HN: GF cheated on me, so packing up and moving to UK, advice plesase :(

Thank you for the reply phaet0n,

I'm based in Ireland and don't speak any German and I wouldn't know anybody there. UK is right across from me and I have some clients there. No, sorry I should have been more detailed with my question. I should have said:

* Where is the best place to move to that is cheap so I can get myself settled in, anywhere at all in the country but possibly just outside London?.

Thanks again

I started juicing (organic) about 6 months ago and love it! My current fav juice is carrot & apple. If you want the freshest and most natural juice try juicing your own.

Also, love me some Ice cold coke!

babyboy808on Ask HN: What should we eat?

I personally believe we should be eating raw food. (plant based foods etc) and not meat, although I still do :|

Some great points are:

+ Look at our teeth, they are made for eating plants/veggies and not meat, unlike lions etc.

+ Cooked foods kill the nutrients, unlike eating raw organic food.

+ Our digestive tract is long, apparently to process plant based foods, compared to a meat eating anmial like a lion, they have a short digestive tract, so they can process raw meat quickly.

+ Animal meat is the only food that gives us colesterol.

babyboy808on How To Become a Millionaire In Three Years

From the person who asked this question on HN, I thank you Jason for making this blog post.

All the best!

babyboy808on Ask HN: How to become a millionaire in 3 years?

Number 2 is an interesting point, thank you!

babyboy808on Ask HN: How to become a millionaire in 3 years?

Thanks for the reply, good points.

I disagree with the following though: "Imposing a deadline on a result that is largely beyond your control will serve no constructive purpose".

True - that the goal is way beyond my control, but I think it forces me to take action and make it happen.

babyboy808on Ask HN: How to become a millionaire in 3 years?

Thank you Jason! All great points there. I particularly liked:

- Inequality of information

- Look in obscure places

- Get as many distribution channels as possible

- Be an unrelenting machine <-- Love it! So true and congrats on the weightloss. You have added so much to my motivation you don't know!

babyboy808on Ask HN: How to become a millionaire in 3 years?

Good question.

But why not 3 years?

As we all know, let's say if we are given an assignment for college to do and we are given a week to complete it, almost always, I will start the assignment about 3/4 days into the week and then as the deadline looms closer, the real work happens! So in answer to your question, if I said 10 years, I would be focused on 10 years :)

Commented on your blog

"Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the theme. To be fair to Freshface and other authors on Themeforest, support is completely optional and he is doing nothing wrong. But I do also agree that it would only take a few minutes to look over to try and resolve the issue."
