I have friend that said it 13 years ago. If you wanna be rich, make yourself the middle man. You can try to open a public company, market it, find investors, and hopefully you'll eventually run a profit and the stock value will go up. Or, you can be an investor making money by buying stock that provide good dividends and go up in value. But, the best position is in the middle exchanging the stock. You don't have to convince others to invest and run a company that is successful when competing with others. You don't have to investigate and guess which companies will be profitable while competing with millions of other investors, banks, and AI. Nope. You just sit back and relax while people fight each other on the battlefield field you created.

Those are the people that make it. They insert themselves in a situation where others fight but they win regardless of who else wins.

  • Ford or Chevy? Oil wins
  • Chrome or Edge? Google wins
  • Facebook or Instagram? Meta wins
  • Plaintiff or defendant? Lawyers win
  • Pay off home loan or foreclose? Lender wins
  • Thousands of IPOs? Market-makers win
  • England or France? Rothchilds win
  • Russia or Ukraine? Military industrial complex wins

I'm an American that moved to North Cakilaki and back to Florida, never to Puerto Rico or Colorado though.

The next gen is gonna be making fun of Gen Z by saying "formally Twitter" and Millennials are finally going to win.

Thanks! That's what I'm hoping for. My situation is that my income will be fine, just gotta figure out where to go. I like warm weather, Caribbean Latino Culture, beaches, mountains, communities, and having an airport to catch flights. I'm thinking a ruralish area in PR might be it. The Internet also says it has a pretty low cost of living.

This is a good starting point! Thank you very much

Good idea! Thanks for the info and suggestion.

Depends on the unit and whether it was over sized or under sized for the space, but restricting 60℅ air flow is a lot.

Thanks for your response! I appreciate it. Do you know how I can investigate this further? I would like to figure out if I'm over-stressing my unit because I've been doing that for the past ~2 years.

Another thing to consider is that if you later want to heat up the entire house, the unit has to work harder. Sometimes it can be more efficient to just keep the house close to your target temp.

Heating up the house happens so rarely that I can't remember the last time I did that. It may have been ~2 years.

I have been closing 3 out of 5. Is that too much?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

That's a good point I wasn't aware of, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. Another user recommended that I set the heater to run at a low temperature in case it gets too cold, but also to run the fan regularly so that the air moves about and addresses the humidity issue.

did you get the thing where you could hear your eyeballs moving?

OMG yessss!! But it wasn't like I could literally hear my eyeballs moving. I wasn't a sound. It was like a feeling in my ears as if moving my eyeballs would tickle or vibrate my inner ear.

I'm happy the stabbing didn't result in much worse. Glad you're still around 🙂

Cheekily "fixing" this post

 

Obviously, I've heard of table salt (NaCl), but I've also heard of others substances being called salts. What do they mean by something being a salt?

There's the regular Clorox bleach that we use with whites, but then there is non-chlorine bleach. What is a bleach?

They think, "Jesus was cool. I like him, and I'm gonna try to be like him." Kind of like their guiding light is what would Jesus do? But there isn't a focus on identification, recruiting others, judging others based on their religion, fear of God, fear of punishment for sinning, respect for clergy as an authority, rituals, worship, etc. Basically, just the example of Jesus' life.
