yeah tried to reserve ibu for sleep and during the day walking as much as possible. I know not everyone feels better while walking, luckily I did.

Try dealing with a herniated disc, more ibu is definitely better. Too little wont do anything, proper dose and you feel healed

Seems like all dutch cheeses are just grouped under gouda, fine but there are plenty of extra hard, hard, semi-hard, semi goat cheeses. Same with the cow cheeses.

See hard goat cheese example, its delicious https://www.goudsekaasshop.nl/geitenkaas-oud-1-kilo.html?gad...

I always thought of this idea in the city, there are lots of driving schools and perhaps taxi drivers that can drop packages off if the packages are not in a rush. That might be a start.

because stripe on purpose hide fees, constantly asks you to try out new features and then secretly charges you more then market price when you say yes. See radar, managed payment, stripe billing management etc.

It costs much more then that, that's their feeds on top of CC, conversion etc. at 20K mrr you are easily paying 1k p/m in Stripe & Processing fees.

He is right, reading the docs you have no idea which events leads to what. Nowadays with llm's it's easy before that I still dont know which events mean what.

I work with large files a lot, running claude code on it is not token intense at all. Probably because it does a lot with scripts. But its a bit more raw, but i think in the end more powerful. Have to pick a good excel library and language. I do node, maybe python can work as well
