i made a website where founders compete on lifts i started lifting weights regularly 2 months ago i saw how @levelsio and @marclou get healthy and ripped in public and wanted to do the same i’m still a beginner but every time I go to the gym i get closer to their results i think competition is healthy and it keeps me motivated so i made a website where you can show off your lifts – the heavier you lift, the more people will see a link to your product featuring lifts from @tdinh_me, @bchesky, @bryan_johnson and the king of deadlifts @nntaleb i will be RTing the first 10 people to save and share their lifts on X – so tag me in a post, so i see it!

I recently started recording videos and wanted to have a teleprompter Before AI I would go online, search for a teleprompter app, install several on my Mac and pick one that suits me best Now I don't even wanna mess with the shitty software other ppl write, so I gave a task to Claude and had my teleprompter ready in 5 minutes And I can change it in any way I want, customize it to my needs and have the design I like Btw I took a picture with my phone because Claude was smart enough to make the prompter invisible to screenshots on the first go!

Yerevan 🇦🇲 is the only place in the world where you can get a European lifestyle, Middle Eastern taxes, and South-East Asian prices Over the past 2 years I’ve spent 2 months in Yerevan I came as a tourist first and then couldn’t help but return here again and again Yerevan has a lot of monies and the city is missing in a lot of respects The public transport is nonexistent, the traffic is crazy, the number of bike roads is 0 It’s a terrible city if you are a 50+ yo who wants quiet European life But it is perfect if you are young and building a biz The city has a Christian European culture and virtually 0 crime - I accidentally left the car open with engine running yesterday for an hour in front of the restaurant. When I came back both the car and my backpack inside were intact - imagine the same in Paris or London! Yerevan is full of amazing coffee shops where you can drink good coffee, work and meet other expats Most locals speak English. If you speak Russian you will do very good, if you speak a bit of Armenian you will get discounts and gifts at most places Yerevan is well connected with Europe - my flight from Slovakia cost just €30 with Wizzair, same for Vienna last year And the main pro for me - Yerevan feels like an adult playground The prices are so low that stuff feels basically free if you earn in a European/US tech hub. You get a MUCH better quality of services than anywhere in the US or Europe The tax rate for individual properietors is 1% - set up a US LLC for stripe, and IP in Armenia in one day and you are set. Crypto dudes in Dubai pay x4 European prices for goods and services to get the same tax regime, you will pay less than half of them. You won’t ever need a car - a 30 minute taxi ride costs under 4 bucks here, and the whole city center is very walkable. Armenia is the only democracy in the Caucasus and if they play their cards right, I’m sure they are gonna reach at least the Polish level of income soon - I’m very bullish on it So now is very good time to come and visit here while Armenia is still cheap and low tax!

I met a guy who makes €50,000 from a train restaurant in Poland 🇵🇱 Long-distance Polish trains have a restaurant car called WARS. Rankings often put it at the top of the world's train food services – unlike other companies that just warm food up, WARS cooks national Polish dishes like pierogi, schabowy kotlet, and pancakes fresh I traveled on one of those trains last week and was amazed at how tasty the food is – I ordered two portions of pancakes in a row, and had to turn off my calorie counter 😅 I said to the guy at the bar that I really liked the food, we talked a bit, and he turned out to be the owner of that restaurant car I was surprised to find out that WARS trains operate like Polish Żabka or 7/11 – it's a huge franchise network where business owners rent 1 or 2 wagons and operate them like their own business The parent company still controls the menu and the look of the restaurant, but they get an owner attitude and A LOT of motivation to make money from the franchisees This business is also quite profitable – in the summer season you can get up to €10,000 in profits after taxes from just 2 cars In the X bubble, it's easy to forget how many ways there are to make money outside of tech, and stories like this keep my belief in capitalism and human creativity high!

I quit my job to work on my own apps. Now my day looks like this: 9:00: wake up with no alarm clock (#1# perk of a nice boss) 9:15: my AI agent sends me the tasks for today (he is my boss) 9:15-9:30: block fraud users and bots from the night; make sure I don't go bankrupt 9:30-10:00: breakfast (coffee + tears over the note from the tax office, almost go bankrupt) 10:00-12:00: marketing, crying over the times when I was a developer and didn't need to do marketing 12:00-13:00: hit the gym, lifting (goal: be the biggest guy in prison if my accountant makes the stupid mistake from last month again) 13:00-15:00: more marketing, realize I talk more to random guys on Reddit than to my wife 15:15: burnout from marketing, FINALLY build some features with Claude 22:00: token limits hit, built 16 new features (nobody gonna use them) 22:15: screens off, read a book (selection: 0 to 1 by Peter Thiel, Life of Steve Jobs, Elon's X account) 00:30: sleep (the only time when I'm not tachycardic)

My variation on Piet’e acid mushrooms I didn’t have balsamico so I used the juice form a whole lemon 🍋, a tea spoon of sugar to imitate balsamico sweetness and a lot of smoked paprika The proteins part is played by grilled smoky paprika chicken breast 🐔 Normally chicken breast is very dry, but if you use the grill mode of the air fryer, it gets juicy, more like suvlaki (but you need a grill plate for that) Overall you get a tasty and balanced meal (better than in 99% if restaurants in Western Europe)

I've been running a mobile AC in my home nonstop for 3 days now It used around 65 kWh, an equivalent of 30 euros, where I live It's still barely cooler inside than outside, even though I have really good isolation If I had a normal split AC, I would run it for only about 1/3 of the time, because it's much more efficient in cooling I would have used a fraction of the electricity by mobile AC users, and hence, it would've been much better for the climate People in the EU are massively buying super inefficient mobile ACs and waste A TON of electricity, because stupid, outdated regulations don't allow them to install split ACs the rest of the world has So if you want to save the climate, you either have to ban all ACs (and maybe other electrical devices as well), or review the regulations and normalize split ACs in Europe Despite all this Europoor BS, Europe can absolutely afford normal ACs And if we decide tomorrow to have them, it will actually generate a lot of orders for local firms and boost GDP! I hate to see people in Europe queuing up for cheap Chinese mobile ACs or Midea who monopolized the mobile split market, while the US and Asia enjoy the variety of good and more efficient split ACs
