  1. @Something Funny Manufacturing is hard. I tested it myself.

    It depends what kind of product you want to create. If you start from scratch and create unique product, your manufacturing process is going to be very ineffective. I will assume here that you are doing it yourself. It means that your pay per hour is going to be super low.

    Another problem is selling your product. You need to spend a lot of time advertising to even make people aware off your product. Than you need to convince them that it's worth paying premium.

     

    Because of problems mentioned above I switched to reselling. Product is already made and well known. There is zero risk that I will not be able to sell it. There is also no need for advertisement.

    Having great product is secondary, first you need to be able to sell it.

    I just started ebay reselling a couple weeks ago. I dont know about speculative resources but this channel has been really helpful in the systems building aspect of a reselling business. 

    I listened to a couple of videos. It's quite interesting.

    However I'm doing exactly the opposite thing. I can't dedicate a whole room for my stuff at the moment. I keep most (in terms of value) of my stuff in just two suitcases.

    He claims that you should sell 10 items a day. Two items a day would be perfect for me. I tend to have a lower return form investment but I avoid buying stuff that will earn me less than $15-20. I like to buy stuff that costs $80 and can be sold for $120. It also takes as much space as a boxed mobile phone.

    I would like to transition to another category of product in order to make my stock smaller. Selling 5 expensive items a week would be perfect.


  3. SHORT STORY:

    I don't remember exactly. About a year ago I found some cheap used item. I didn't need so I bought it to sell it with profit.

    Once year later I'm getting reasonable income. My room is messy (not only).., bicycle parts are laying everywhere. I struggle to open my wardrobe because of boxes. I also have video LED lamps under my desk.

    HOW I WORK:

    Sometimes I fix stuff or make it look nicer. Sometimes I buy a set of items and sell them separately. Sometimes I just buy cheap, make a good description and great photos same make a good profit.

    PROBLEMS:

    My inventory is growing. At some point I will need to scale up because it doesn't make much sense to have more than five or ten identical items.

    If I'm syndrome selling cheap stuff because I got them as a set with one or two more expensive items. It's time consuming. Preparing two or three auctions a day would be reasonable. At some point I will need to scale up and find more expensive items to buy because my time and energy is limited.

     

    QUESTIONS:

    Do you know any good resources for a speculative reselling?

    What are good items for reselling? Bicycle parts are good because for an ordinary person it's hard to estimate a value. They are also quite small and easy to store.

    The only way to get hair where there ain't any, is to plant it there.

    (...)

    Hair is not magic, it needs a root.

    Funnily few days after writing this fist post I noticed facial hair in area I never had them. Maybe there were light colored, soft hair but nothing like a beard. I forgot to write an update :$

    dude
    dont listen to anybody here 
    this works like magic but you gotta do it for a LONG TIME

    Now I think that it might work but there is a risk that it's not going to be enough density except on the bottom of my face. My face is rather narrow and anything like goatee would make me look horrible.

    Maybe my business idea will work out and looking half my age isn't going to have any negative effects on my income :D


  5. By 'same space' do you mean same room?

    It reminds me my ESFJ mother. I dubt that you can do anything to change her behavior. Tere is a huge difference in a way me and my mother function. It's like I'm making a making a call - there is a start and there is an end. She acts as if the call is on all the time.

    The only way to solve this issue is to be in a physically separate space. If separate room is not enough maybe you should lock the door.


  6. Minoxidil doesn't cause hair regrowth, it's not going to recover hairline, it rather improves density in places you still have some hair left. That's why it probably wouldn't help me grow beard. Another issue is that it's not effective for many people - I don't know if it's true but I heard that spray/foam works for only about 30% of people. Oral form is supposed to be more effective.

    I don't know how long hair will stay if you stop Minoxidil. Some people claim that you may be able to stop using it after one year because hair growth cycle lasts 2 to 6 years. It would make sense that you should be able to use Minoxidil for one year and than keep decent beard for another two years. However scalp hair growth cycle doesn't differ all that much.

    I started balding at about 20 lol you win some and you lose some in the genetic lottery 

    My father is in his late 60s and have better hair than my friends below that are below 25 yo. Maybe except for the crown region. 

    I suspect that beard probably wouldn't work well with my face shape. I guess that guy that designed me knew what he was doing and it's better for me to shave less often.


  7. I'm soon to be 34 with almost no beard - only very sparse goatee. I also look quite young. I met my distant cousin, I've seen her when she was a child and she didn't remember me.  She is 19 and she thought that I'm 21 yo :D Sometimes it's beneficial to look younger but in a work environment it's going to be problematic.

     

    I decided that I will test Mindoxidil. I used it twice a day. I didn't take any photos before and after. You are also supposed to use the bottle up to month after opening it.

     

    My results: after a month I noticed that my beard is getting thicker. After almost two months my beard is much more dense, like twice as much hair..? However I haven't noticed any changes in areas I did not have facial hair. I had zero side effects - no skin irritation at all. I also applied it once a day to maintain my hairline (some people may experience receding hairline while using Minoxidil). I suppose it would for hair regrowth but luckily I'm still 0 in the Norwood scale.

    It works, however it seems to make beard more dense but it doesn't seem to be effective for beard growth if you don't have any. Not for females, sorry 9_9 I think that's the end of my experiment because I don't plan on buying another bottle. In my case it doesn't make me look any better. It's just more visible when I'm not shaved. I suppose it's time for me to dye my hair grey.

    * Minoxidil may cause skin to produce less collagen, this is also the reason I'm not willing to continue experimentation that doesn't produce enough results


  8. I recommend this podcast "sexual attraction vs energetic attraction"

    https://www.taylorjohnson.life/sexual-attraction-vs-energetic-attraction/

    I believe that the Twin Flame is a real phenomenon. There is a person that I knew that has to exist before I finally met her - she matched the energy I was searching for. There was something trippy about her (waveing walls etc) and when I connected deeply with her via messenger I had amazing energetic experience - it felt like we melted together. I felt aftereffects for a whole week. At this point I feel kind of disgusted of other females :D

    I guess that soulmate is someone that matches you energy attraction to a certain degree.


  9. I tried using LSD analog twice while socializing. First time it was 100 ug during wedding party another time 150 or 200 ug during a party.

    In my experience it enhanced social skills and confidence. However it's not going to work if you don't feel comfortable.

    Wedding party was amazing because there was a girl with whom I had great chemistry. LSD made my mind so fast that I was fully in control of her emotions. I was able to say thrle perfect thing to steer precisely in the right direction.

    Anther attempt wasn't that successful. I couldn't connect this way with anyone, so there wasn't anything to enhance. I felt powerless. Whole experience was rather underwhelming.


  10. I highly recommend (I had similar issues and it worked for me):

    1. Bending back 

    2. Sticking thumbs into your shoulders (google 'Himalayan mruga yoga' by Kevala Foundation)

    3. Stretching by standing and touching the ground with fingers/fists/palms.

    3.5 Superior version is Maha Mudra. However it was impossible for me to perform properly (with legs straight) because I was barely able to touch my feet, I had to stretch a lot. After few months I can touch the ground with palms so Mahamudra isn't a problem anymore. 

    Also hanging might be very good - it would work in a similar fashion to 3 and 3.5.


  11. Good quality chocolate doesn't have that much sugar. You can eat chocolate instead of bread! ^_^ I wish it had none but even stupid law in UE doesn't allow to name chocolate as 'chocolate' if it has other sweetener instead of sugar ¬¬

    Don't panic I had super annoying tooth pain, I was sure that I will need to have a canal treatment. I turned out everything was fine. I suspect that I had some vitamin C deficiency.


  12. I'm still using my first wax plugs when sleeping. They still work, however because they aren't sticky enough now, they are much less effective in blocking sounds.

    I ordered foam plugs similar to those - they seem to be safer. Mine are going to be green. As far as I know pink/yellow ones have much larger diameter and might be only suitable if you have big ear canals.921265.jpg

    Leo made me buy foam earplugs but there is an issue with wearing them. They will block not only noised but it will make impossible to listen to music or use YouTube for work, cooking or whatever.

    Here are two solutions:

    - using bone conduction headphones

    - using closed headphones as an ear protection. Sometimes I wear them, even if they are completely off (no ANC).

    I see lot of talk about baseline lately. For which I had my first LSD trip this weekend. My consciousness has changed since then.

    You can use LSD will help you to purify your energy. It's like taking a shower. You took it and now you are cleaner. Your cleanness isn't going to stay forever if you are getting dirty :P You made a small step but you have to fix your hygiene - this will raise your baseline.

    Another analogy is a plugged pipe. If you use a proper solvent it will increase it's diameter. The stronger the solvent the better. Your bad habits cause pipe to be clogged more and more, but using solvent from time to time is still helpful.


  14. Finding a good source for a first time was a huge waste of time. I had to use reddit and trustpilot to avoid getting scammed. I would like to be able to share and receive information about vendors.

    At least it would be nice to ask if some vendor is safe and asking for a DM with information about trusted sources. This way this it would make harder to advertise but we wouldn't waste so much time to find a good source.


  15. I'm utterly shocked ?

    I was watching latest episode from actualized. I was laying on my bed with my headphones on. I did not expect anything. Than suddenly around 30 minutes mark you smirked (I saw it despite listening to audio only) and made loud "HShHhSSshHHsssHSs..". I got hit by the energy, it was almost as strong as 5 Meo. I gave into the vortex and pressed my phone against my forehead.

    My sister and my mother came to my room to rescue me because I was making weird noises. I wasn't able to speak a word. I was only able to show them thumb up.

    Sadly this episode never existed. Also I'm not living with my sister since many years. Everything was imaginary and happened when I was sleeping just minutes ago. I took 10 mg of noopept and 40 mg of huperzine 6 hours before this happened.

    But guys, do you think that it is a possibility that his friend lied? Just to make drama?

    This is just his opinion. I guess that guy didn't tell him if he likes you or not, so in this case it would be just him guessing. I doubt he would lie.

    You are making it more simplistic than it really is. There are many aspects and degrees to attraction. The funny thing is that it's possible to develop feeling for someone and not be willing to do anything about that. If I interact with a female it might be easy to get hooked - just because of polarity. However it's still obvious for me that it will fade quickly.

    Obviously he 'liked you'. However it's almost impossible to guess his intentions and I think that's what you are really curious about.


  17. Cycling while tripping is the best ;D However I do not recommend it before a third trip. It's best to stay at home till the end if you are tripping for the first time.

    Also be prepared that you will be really depressed for a week or two. I felt as if everyone died. I felt really disappointed about reality being 'fake'. It went away but I needed time to integrate.

    ..and as I mentioned earlier do not eat a blotter. Opposite direction is so much better!! The only important thing is emptying bowels before. I find the easiest way is to eat something, go to toilet, and than plug it. 


  18. @Yarco I was worried that I might accidently push the earplug to deep while sleeping. Is it possible?

    Another danger is that shorter earplug can possibly go entirely inside and I will not be able to take it out.

    @Blackhawk $$$ 9_9 $$$

    It seems that replacing seals is enough, probably I will add another E seal (so it would be 2xE + 1xD) because I have some left. I will see how it will work out. At this moment I have an impression that I hear at most 5% of noises that I heard before. Not only I hear less sounds but they are quieter.

    Having 3 layers of glass would be cool but it means that I can't have internal blinders. That wouldn't be so cool.

    @integral Good luck working on a computer this way ^_^


  19. @Yarco Thank you I will probably try foam earplugs it the future. It's nice to hear that they do not cause wax build-up. I'm just worried that some they may go to deep, so I would rather choose weirdly shaped ones that can't go too deep.

     

    I replaced window seals. First I added E type, they noticeably diminished noise level. Than I replaced super old D type seals. They were in a really bad shape. Now in most cases I can barely hear cars passing, no more water splashing sounds. Before it was impossible not to notice each car approaching, accelerating (there is a slight slope) and than passing. I get the impression that now if my window is tilted it's not much louder than with completely closed window before replacing seals 9_9 I wouldn't believe that $5 seals can make such a difference.
