Tripping alone can be wonderful, just don’t take too much.

Misleading headline, he wasn't swallowed. Still an amazing story.

Have you counted on how much this would have costed?

I have not had the time yet, will do it ASAP. I watched the full video you recommended though, that was exactly what I needed to see now!

Our current situation looks like this: Since we are in the beginning of this business we work with it on our spare time, while keeping the day jobs until we get more gigs. We have gotten our first gig, which is to build an application used in the shipping industry. We wrote a contract for the first delivery worth approx $25,000, and we have gotten a full payment. We have gotten promises on 2 more deliveries that will average approx $30,000. The issue is that now they are trying to put a lot of shit into the first delivery, although it's not in the contract. We (the two of us in the company) have let ourselves be a bit pushed around in the past weeks and have put at least 20 hours each into building stuff that was definitely not in the contract, with the fear that if we say no then they wont let us continue working on the app and we can forget the coming $60,000.

Anyway, your comment and the video made me realise that the way we are trying to please them right now is just stupid. We have the next meeting with them on Monday, and I know exactly what to say: Fuck you and pay us :D

So when they ask for more than what’s in the contract, how should I respond?

Thanks for a great answer! After reading this, I will continue to charge per project (because that's what I really want) and just be smart about it.

Thanks for your response. With deliverables, do you mean that you divide the project in parts and get paid for every part separately?

This is exactly what has happened on our first project. My thinking was that we have to write the contract more detailed in the future, but I guess it will be hard to avoid these situations anyway. I'll try out your advice, thanks a lot.

Can I buy food with Bitcoin? Pay my rent? Get clothes for my kids?

If I would have been required to sign up, I would have closed the browser. Good choice!

The Bible was written 300 years after Jesus lived, so some of these things might have been confused...

My theory is that both Christianity and Islam exists because of the fact that deep prolonged mediation causes hallucinations and psychotic experiences. Why? Because God talked to both Jesus and Muhammed while they where meditating in the desert.

That’s some good arguments, I change my mind.

Have you tried? In that case, what happend?

> There is growing awareness that this service should not be run by private companies/banks.

I don't agree. I'm a Swede too (as I assume you are), and I have basically never heard anyone complain of BankID being owned by the banks. I am really happy that our government does not own BankID, since they suck badly at developing software.

Point 1 and 2 shows why hiring based on gender instead of merit is a bad idea. It would have been way better for the author of this post to have been turned down by the diversity seekers and found a company that was looking for someone with her skillset and personality instead.

Point 3 is such a stupid thing to say. I don't know about reporting him for it, how about just telling him that he is stupid and condescending? That would work in Sweden at least, maybe there is a different work culture in USA.

Point 4 is actually true, proved scienctifically, and has nothing to do with discrimination. Due to differences in the brain that we are born with, men are on average more interested in technology than women. That does not mean that you can point to a specific women and draw the conclusion that because she is a women she is less suited to work in tech than a man. It does however explain why more men than female study computer science for example. Yes, I'm sure phenomens like computer games biased towards male might enhance this, but even without it you would see the differences.

USA is basically surrounded by large oceans and they still spend by far the most on defence.

Don't take this wrong, but I'm pretty skeptical of a positive outcome of your life too. We all die in the end.

Do anyone know if I can choose to only use (and pay for) Starlink like a couple of months at a time? I want it for my rural summer house that is used like 3 months a year. Would be like 400 dollar /month if I have to pay all year.

If Bitcoin uses that amount of energy now, imagine how much it will consume when a large amount of the population actualy uses it for payments.

Until recently, I was.

Every day before going to work I had anxiety. My workplace was extremly toxic, people talking behind each others back etc.

I got home and instead of hanging out with my gf and 6 months baby I escaped into video games, or news. For some reason, I blamed my family for my shitty life, and where mean to my gf.

I used to read a lot of books and be interested in a lot of stuff before, but the recent years all I have had energy for has been to browse my normal time killing websites. In my mind, the reason for this was that I was getting older (just turned 35).

Anyway, a while ago I got a "moment of clarity" that I just had to change my current path or give up completely and start drinking or something. I quit my job without having a new job. The first week after quitting nothing changed really, but week 2 then things really started to happen. The heavy anxiety in my stomach dissapeared. This in turn enabled me to do more stuff.

Another thing I did was deleting my Facebook account. I have been wanting to do that for years, but I have always resisted since I would then lose my way of communicating with a lot of "friends". Anyway, after a few days of that, I somehow felt that my head felt clearer. I was no longer filled with other peoples bullshit thoughts.

Inspired by this, I stopped reading newspapers online and started buying paper versions instead. That also had a positive impact on me.

My relationship with my family got sooooo much better. I started to having long conversation with my gf, something I realized I had barely had for a lot of time. Also, I started to feel all these feelings when being with my kid, and I am so happy that I now can be in the moment with her.

In two weeks I will start my new job. I don't know how it will be, but I know that if it sucks, I will talk about it with my gf instead of escaping into the internet.

This article enabled me to see and take care of my news addiction:

> Speed read parts that might not be useful to remember. My brain cache is limited, there are things I like to keep and things I just discard. Learn to recognize those parts of the book that you need to remember and those that can be discarded.

Why read those part at all if they are not meant to be remembered?

No one ever gave you cash? Did you ask for it?

We do have a way, it is called elections.

I have similar experience as you, and what I concluded was that it was the 4-5 hours of looking busy that really made me tired, usually I was surfing the internet, switching to a new page every minute.

A better strategy is to work 15-30 minutes and then take a few minutes break where you meditate.

Is there some evidence that neanderthals did not organize themselves in tribes? I think we were just more aggressive and killed them all.

I think we just killed them all, considering that racism is omnipresent, as well as human cruelty.

I'm from Sweden and I used to work at a warehouse before and between my stuides. Here, everything if focused about the rights for the employee. As soon as you have worked for 6 months at one place, you have what we call "permanent employment", which basically means that you can't be fired unless you repeatedly fuck up big time (coming drunk to work repeatedly, steal from the company etc).

Anyway, here you can be sick for 5 days in a row (and get 80% of your salary), after that you have to go to a doctor and get a paper that you are in fact sick. Futhermore, you can be sick for 6 times a year, after that you have to talk to the boss and explain yourself. People used this to the maximum, meaning that on top of the 5 weeks per year people got payed vacation, they were all "sick" an additional 6 weeks, always 5 days at a time. The employers can't do anything, as people with permanent employment can't be fired.

They are missing the stack sizes of the players. Would love to have logs that include that info!
