    Video games, 3D printing, and movies/television.

    Modern video games are nothing more than a linear hand holding experience with hours of pre-rendered cut scenes. If I am interested in a game, I watch a streamer play it long enough for me to be bored then I read the plot on Wikipedia.

    I used to have multiple 3d printers going. But after one broke down, I didn’t have the motivation to fix it.

    Movies and television shows are the same slop with tired tropes. I watched Con Air with my son the other day and he was amazed with the difference between the acting and presentation in the 1990s compared to today.


  • Become an LLC.

    LLC’s have more rights than citizens.

    You start an LLC, name it something lawyer sounding like the last names of your friends but never call it a law firm. Call it civil representation.

    Then when you get a customer not a client you can send letters on their behalf.

    Most people freak out when they get an official looking letter with a “law name” on it. I’m not talking about the minority of people on here, but the majority of the population.

    As long as you disclose your LLC does not practice law and you are simply “representing them” in a very general and broad sense you will be good.

















  • I had a small plumbing leak that cost me $700 to fix. There was some water damage but insurance will cover it.

    The cost to remove the water - $10k The cost to rebuild after the water leak - $60k

    The way our floor was laid makes it impossible to fix just the affected area. They need to tear up the entire kitchen, living room, and hallways.

    Six weeks of construction and while they are tearing up the kitchen we have no fridge.


  • My boss, her boss, her boss’s boss, the big boss (who reports to the CEO) and I are on a meeting last week.

    At the beginning of the meeting there were some pleasantries being shared. The big boss shared her kid was going to be featured in some large chess tournament

    My boss replies “that’s great. What kind of chess does he play?”

    I was shocked because there is only one type of chess just like there is only one type of checkers. Yes I know there is 4-d chess, Star Trek chess, and chess game variants. But typically there is only one type of chess.

    The big boss answers “You know chess. He is a grand master.”

    My boss replies “Grand master. Does that mean he is a performing magician?”

    I sat there looking at my screen in shock. My boss had not idea what grand masters are.

    The big boss had to explain the chess grand masters to her.
