Yes, came in here to say that, the fact they’re aware of their shortcomings puts them way ahead of the pack already.

The bass line from 7 nation army by the white stripes (can also be played on a guitar).

I got dragged to Málaga against my will (family stuff) and it was horrible. More pubs than tapas places to cater to the British crowds…

Charleroi is super depressing indeed.

By far the simplest AND the best solution.

Had to go check then out when you said yours was EIGHT KILOGRAMMES. Crazy pillows.

Why buy a Les Paul of all things if you’re still learning?

They might have bought a “project house” and went the DIY route. Especially big country house, etc. In France I knew folks that bought a super cheap “small” castle, and have been constantly renovating for years and years. For example when up keeping the windows, by the time they get to the last one they can already start over with the first one again.

I’m the latest season of Clarkson’s farms he converts some old shelter to grow mushrooms and it looked amazing, definitely made me wonder if I could grow and sell some as a side business. Apparently it also caused a big uptake in people using lions mane as a supplement in the UK.

Yeah sounds about right, I mean they covered Africa by Toto lmao.

I think even bagpipe players agree with you.

Who doesn’t like a full rack.

Yeah same, we took a mini trip on the way home from the wedding, with plans to do a huge trip “soon”. With our lifestyles we already “need” to travel multiple times a year just for family etc, so taking the time and expense for such a trip just never really works out.

In french we tell people “je te dis merde !”, it’s the equivalent to break a leg, literally just means “I’m saying ‘shit’ to you!”.

45?

That’s a great movie from Quebec btw.

Yep this is the reality. I was a small business owner before when I was young and I was decent at what I did but I had no idea of the realities of running a business. I did 10 years in corporate before starting another one and it’s night and day because I now have way more business context and can breeze through all the side tasks with an understanding of how successful businesses are actually run.

That last part is tricky, after all there’s also a saying “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”, it’s a balancing act.

For example most of my business comes from repeat business customers and it’s definitely underpaid compared to what I can get in different niches, but on the other hand I get regular jobs from it. My colleagues focusing on the better paying niches are always hunting for the next gig and don’t know where the money will come from next month.

I’d have to go through a bunch of concepts about light, moving motion and photography in general but I’m sure we’d get there eventually.

Basil smash is my house specialty but I’ll experiment with it, had a big phase of getting into mixology this year though it’s currently a lot less due to following a strict calorie planning.
