Also tabbed web browsing. I tend to line up the YouTube vids I want to watch while coffee brews, then watch with coffee in hand. Sometimes they get left there for the entire day, minimized while I do something more productive. At least with chromium, that takes a lot of memory (even though it does a few things to conserve). I also have a few other applications running all the time. It gets pretty close sometimes.

Anyway, now that they're available, I'm getting one. I sure have a lot of Pis nowadays.


A lot of people don't seem to realize polyamory versus open relationship. Polyamory is about holding multiple relationships. Open relationship is more about the physical act, without additional relationships.

Multiple loves, versus getting it on with others once in a while, but not forming lasting relationships with them.

My partner and I have open relationship. We don't "date" other people, and actively avoid the baggage that comes with people who try to turn it into that. But a sexcapade or romp is fair.. we might be sexy, but not the only sexy people on the planet.


I suspect the drone companies that do larger exhibits must practice somewhere, and at night, to know that their routines are working correctly, and maneuvers are tight.


Look up info on neuroplasticity.

One of it's primary areas of study include how the brain physically changes in response to behaviours, learning, stress, music, etc.

From Google's AI: Neuroplasticity can involve:

- Structural changes: The brain's structure can change through growth and reorganization.

- Functional changes: The brain's functions can change in response to stimuli.

- Synaptic changes: The strength of synaptic connections can change, and new synapses can be formed or eliminated.

Here is a book that I've read on the subject: https://www.amazon.ca/Brain-That-Changes-Itself-Frontiers/dp...


I think a better idea would be to pick up a few issues of Robb Report, or peruse their website articles for a while. That's how you find out what wealthy people want and are willing to pay for.

I've never seen an issue covering photoshop alternatives.

I thought of something similar, but less intrusive.

An app that uses your chosen or GPS location to point out nearby Michelin rated and other high end restaurants and amenities.

When with a group of other likewise wealthy people using the same app, you all "swipe left or right" the suggested food styles (pizza, Japanese, French, Michelin Starred, etc), and it returns info and links to the restaurants that fit what most of the group agree upon.

Of course everyone gets to rate the experience after. Something that is valuable to the businesses as well. Maximize!


That's how "the poor" imagine the life of "the rich".

Being not wealthy and haven't diner before at a Michelin rated restaurant, could lead to the assumption "I want it now and I can afford it, so I go and get it" is what the life of a rich men is - but, all of the Michelin rated restaurants are booked out for the next weeks and months. Just thinking of el bully: "we're booked out for the next 2y. Would you like to make a reservation in ... September 2034?" :)

So, this won't work out as imagined.


Uh, you've never been around wealthy kids and young people. My partner works at one of the most exclusive private schools in Canada. We're surrounded by wealthy people. Sometimes even royal reps and the occasional prince. I know exactly how they respond to amusements like in this thread.

Also not all Michelin rated (and otherwise great) restaurants have years-long waiting lists. They exist, but you are pretending they are all that are available to the wealthy. Not all of them are even that expensive - wealthy people go for the best and/or most reputable of everything, which tend to be expensive, but are not always. They don't automagically gravitate to the exclusively expensive just for expense's sake. That, my friend, is the imaginations of "the poor."

You obviously missed out on "Pizza" being included in my list. Rich old people might not like it, but rich kids like it BIG TIME. Hell, Drake is rich, and his favourite resto according to those videos, is a cheap Chinese hole in the wall (it's actually pretty good, but it is cheap).

Your first sentence, and subsequent meandering pretends that you know something others don't. You obviously don't. And that's okay.


Your reading skills pretend to be good, but obviously there's need of them being adjusted :)

It was a point against the "app for the rich" + "to point out nearby Michelin rated and other high end restaurants and amenities." in the context of suggestions for app features.

There's also a pizza in this context.

So, why would Drake use the rich-people-app if he loves eating in a hole in the wall and can order doordash to be delivered food from that hole? You see your misthinking now? If it's not exclusive, then there's already a solution for. If it's exclusive, then it's restricted and not in the abundance.

But that's ok, too. I don't care about the wealthy, because they're not on my wavelength at all. And that's also not my biggest aim in life. If you're surrounded by them, enjoy!


So what would enchant them as an app or even a web service? I think you might have that answer


I don't get this reply. They don't need a Ferrari or Patek Phillipe collection either. They don't need 10 bedrooms with separate in suite washrooms, and both an indoor and outdoor pool.

I live close to Toronto's Bridle Path. Nearly everything I see around the neighbourhood is not purchased out of necessity.


This vertical is already catered for: Vertu sells expensive phones:

E.g. SIGNATURE COBRA LIMITED EDITION KEYPAD PHONE US$504,308.00

They have a concierge service: https://vertu.com/concierge/

Something like ask Siri, but staffed with actual humans that can arrange real services.

Have a look at what's on offer.


There was a time that a simple purple diamond image on an iPhone was enough. It is akin to the duct tape banana art that recently sold.

What amuses the wealthy people you'd like to target?


Murder requires premeditation, so that precludes self defense. The two parts are: The killing of someone without legal justification (such as self defense), and the premeditated plan to accomplish it. There is something called "mens rea," the guilty mindset, that informs the court of guilt or innocence.

This will get you into manslaughter and other shades or degrees of killing, too.

The rest of what you said, I generally agree with. If you believe someone with a mental condition can sometimes "come around," then you'd also have to believe that someone who killed because of a DSM-5 defined condition that lists it as a symptom or hallmark can be cured of the triggers that made them do it. But I'm sure in most cases that privilege has to be long fought for.

I always thought the Biblical command should have been "Thou shalt not murder" since it is absolutely possible to kill without even a trace of mens rea. Auto accidents are a good example. And war killing in the Bible, as in modern life, isn't considered murder either (Geneva Convention subjects aside). There is legal justification.


Cool.

When I was younger, I could never get these. But one night in bed with my tablet, I saw a magic eye image, and I guess because I was really tired, I was able to see the hidden image.

Since then, it's been pretty easy for me to see them. Even the animated black/white static snowman one, which I think was pretty advanced since it offered no clues for your eyes to latch onto.
