I had considered doing this about 3 years ago. I purchased a 1986 Vixen 21TD (a BMW diesel powered, 5 speed motorhome, build specifically as a motorhome, and gets 30mpg). Ultimately, my goals ended up changing. I did a bit of modifications

I actually own a studio that does just this. I think that for a lot of businesses, they can hire internal developers prematurely before they have a clear vision of the product that they're building or need. We structured our studio as

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, at 31 years old. It made so much sense. The idea of your "future self" is actually what helped me improve my ability to form habits. "If I do X, Y, Z, today, then tomorrow I only have to d

A travel mug is more an amorphous volume than simply 20oz. A Stanley Mug, like the recent Stanley x Starbucks collaboration is 40oz. I believe this may be what they are referring to. However, it's rare that individuals with the 40oz m

Honestly, advertising is not inherently evil. Putting a sign out front of your business with your logo is advertising, though it also helps your customers find you. You are advertising your location. How would you know where a restaurant is
