Do you have difficulty spending money

41

Really, the presentation of the 8$ bakery item (that in itself does look tasty!) is leaving lots to desire:

  • Paper box!?
  • Bathroom tile!
  • Drink in a plastic container x.x
  • with a paper straw!!

Do they not give a f*** or what is happening in Basel?

  1. I ordered to go
  2. This was the surface of a table outside the shop
  3. See #1
  4. Blame the greens

The drink was some kind of combination of milk + matcha + mango.

I managed to sample a bit of both before my kids devoured the roll and drink in record time and it gave them a sugar high to run around Basel like crazed animals.

If you’re paying that much already,
maybe try something decent next time. :sweat_smile:
(If you’re passing by ZH one day, happy to recommend a spot or two)

Ah, you wanted to get Exorcist props? Is that what that green ladida detox thing and the goo on the cinnamon roll are? Is it celery?

Have you started a second carrier at Google as, ahem, wait, 
 product information distribution manager?

Touché!

To be honest, I have a grandfathered in -- aka not having to pay for it -- Google Workspace for businesses (Gmail & Docs & Sheets & etc) for my domains that now includes Gemini Pro. It's just convenient to use, unthrotteled and free (for me), while other LLMs (in their free version) typically throttle me.

But I’ll happily wear the title Google VP of Product Information Distribution if it comes with a new set of stock based comp 
 :wink:

Fair enough. I have removed you from my watchlist of product information distribution managers.

And to illustrate the dangers in waiting, this component has now gone up in price to 7800, though there is a similar SKU for 7022.

True, but you can easily offset the cost of those GPUs by running your own SMR.

Combine this with trading 235U on the spot market and you’re almost guaranteed to permanently extinguish that smoldering fire of having difficulty spending money.

The simple solution is to get a wife - but you already did that I reckon. :sweat_smile:

Wife is more frugal than me.

Next step up is a mistress! :wink:

Many retired youtubers talk about this. I’m just at the beginning of my journey towards FIRE, but already enjoy thinking about it. For example Joe Kuhn’s channel.

I repeatedly hear that FIREd folks start spending much more on stuff that maximizes their remaining time and experiences. Like paying for anything that feels like a chore (cleaning, shopping, repairing, administration, driving, cooking for some).

I’m listening that book on youtube. Apart from the typical 1000 words to express 100 word ideas, I have to say that it show some good points.
Still it doesn’t solve my problem. :confused:
