Poor Charlie's Almanack is a good one; it is quite a mix of stories, advice and wisdom that you can read in parts here and there when you have a moment.

So doesn't MB own part of Tesla? (Edit: yes) I wonder what the overlap is here. And I wonder if the Spanish Gov would ever let this in... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc.#History "On May 19, 2009

I don't know, I live in Alicante (15 years now) and know many working folks and professionals who take 2-5 off, though in the summer they will go until 3 and call it a day.

Similar in Alicante, though chains here, and often nearby shops, are open until 2200.

Okay, I'm a Canadian living in Spain and can tell you, from 1200 - 1900 in the summer the sun hurts , and yeah, a lot of stuff is done locally = walking or biking (usually walking). It is much easier in local towns and villages to wal

Wow! What a throwback, I was on that CSS list and Philippe and I would do a lot of css writing and testing together, along with 'Big John'. I recall a day when this 'Dave' guy came by asking for people to check out his g

Something for scale in those images would have been nice. Perhaps the video does the size justice.

"The Iberian peninsula is a great resource for renewables and wind energy, not just for the region but for the whole of Europe." Sure, but the inept Spanish non-government will never do the right thing with this amazing opportunit

Many years ago I worked as a geologist and watched as a very low-yield gold mine went thru cycles of getting funded, building some infrastructure and then declaring bankruptcy, until finally there was enough infrastructure there to actually

Another great reason to buy from small, local companies. Keep it simple, be wary of over-specialization.

I went thru a round of something like this, where I had been a developer+copywriter+editor+salesman for en early internet biz. While I have a degree related to my field, I found that the network I had built up over the years, thru sales and

Yes, part of what I was trying to say is why not get that handful of folks together and go to Japan, to the source. Logistics? Ego? Funding? Perhaps a trip is in the cards...

I remember at university how, when attending the few multi-disciplinary meetings or get-togethers, I would marvel that these people - on the same campus! - didn't get together more often in order to share and stimulate growth or share

Nice. I'm still struggling to feel I know enough to do my own thing other than lead gen and optimization for others.

"I know everything there is to know." I kind of took that to be like how Musk talks about needing to know first principles. In the article you can see that he was humble about what he thought he knew, took jobs here and there and

That only lasts so long until the client figures out they are being fleeced. My wife hawks those businesses that are way overpaying for their web hosting and the like (maintenance each month to keep sites live).

Your idea is somewhat like Hawkers Sunglasses here in Spain. If you can read Spanish, check this out it is packed full of what you are trying to do, except they made way more money: http://www.elconfidencial.com/tecnologia&#

Sure, I don't think they have ever hid the fact that they play the game, what they are trying to do is play it in a responsible manner. Yvon Chouinard's book is worth a read, it's a fine line to tread and, in my opinion, lazy

Maybe read the book rather than let this person 'ruin it for you'.

Have you asked them? They have some pretty crazy stores about reaching back to repair old gear.

You have changed 'individual consumers' to individual. As a consumer, make the choice to consume goods that cause less harm and then make them last longer. As an individual, there are likely better things you can do, sure.

Sadly, I doubt that manufacturers are consciously thinking about durability and (more-so) repairability when planning. "In some cases repair is the most efficient choice but in others it is not." I doubt that choice - one way or a

No problem and good luck with whatever you do. Once you get going with this, and it starts to work for you, it becomes part of your process and an asset in your life. (btw - St. Albert ftw!)

tl;dr: spend 3 hours a week doing food prep such that you can throw together many quality meals with minimal fuss over the next week. Food prep: buy your veggies, Broccoli, Asparagus, meat, potatoes et al on Saturday. Boil, bake and prepare
