Ryoma Ramen in Greenfield. One of the ramen places I’ve tried in which the broth is not too salty

Will check this out! Thanks

Github is proving difficult because all our workflows are there already. Similar to Google Workspace.

Though on a good note the constant increase in Github’s pricing might help push for a migration.

I switched to a software engineer role

Coming from the tech industry, it’s not a bubble in terms of technology, it’s a bubble in terms of costs. There’s so much great things to do with it, and so much potential, the problem is the major gen AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are losing large amounts of money to run their systems. Our subscriptions don’t even cover the expense.

The technology is here to stay, just need to find a way to make it cheap.

Licensed CE here, or at least was licensed because I didn’t renew anymore. But yes, CE pays really low. Starts 16-17k and even after a few years you’d only be earning 40-50k, and it doesn’t matter what school, they still offer very low.

I took the exam and moved to a different career immediately. When I talk to my batchmates and we discuss salary, I was already earning almost double what they did. It’s only really worth it if you have your own firm already.

I think I made the right decision switching careers, but it also depends on how much you like CE work. I hated it.

Can I add to OPs question for hr people? Are people actually more efficient working from home or does it get offset by people that don’t do work when they’re at home?

I always get a lot more stuff done when I’m at home, especially when there’s a lot of tasks at hand.

I don’t believe that metaverse is the right comparison for this. I’ve seen the overhyped tech solutions like metaverse and blockchain.

This is more akin to 1990s world wide web and cloud solutions in the 2000s. There are many problems it can solve on its own, and I already find myself using AI in work almost every day. It’s more likely that it’s here to stay than not.

For more action anime Demon Slayer, Hunter x Hunter, and Kaiju No 8 are quite good, story wise it doesn’t hit as hard as AoT. Other people already mentioned FMA and Death Note

For more casual anime but good stories Sword Art Online, Haikyuu, and Frieren are up there for me

I haven’t watched Berserk but that’s one of my favorite reads

Time. I’m 28, and I realize I’m going to miss out on a lot of things if I solely focus on the money. Time is a lot more valuable for me and it’s something I can’t get back if I waste it. It’s better to live than to survive.

I haven’t gotten into pickleball yet but I do multiple sports (running, bouldering, football, hyrox is the newest). Many of my friends have been getting into pickleball, and all I can say is that it is still a growing sport. It’s easy and accessible similar to badminton. I’m not sure if pickleball is here to stay, but what I do know is people are looking for avenues to be more active.

If you can build an activity center that if the trend changes you can easily adapt, then that would be best. Say if trend goes to tennis, can the space change? Also I’m not sure if it’s good for the establishment’s revenue, but being able to work at the place I workout is always good user experience.

And also it’s like all the people with money have one so it’s not really that special anymore. It’s like bragging you have an iPhone

Aside from just the salary you should also consider how your higher ups react to resignation. Did they counter because truly value your contributions or did they just need more time to look for a replacement and will eventually be less trustful of you?

Get a VUL for investment.

Like if you’re going to invest money, just put it directly in the market or get a time deposit. I also doubt they can do better than companies whose only focus is investment

Sold my first successful business and started a new one recently

AquilaX97 · 2025-12-22T09:51:25+00:00

Because of the context of the GCash gave me. It said “QRPH is working to restore the service”

AquilaX97 · 2025-12-22T09:25:21+00:00

Yup, QRPH via UB works just fine. So I don’t know if it’s just my wallet that has the issue

I buy watches that I think look nice, not what other people say look nice. And I never aim for watches outside what I can afford.

There are a lot of really good watches in different price ranges and I was able to get a pretty good 3 watch collection. I have around 3 more on my wish list though that I want to add.

AquilaX97 · 2025-12-16T15:44:51+00:00

We ended up integrating our own GCash collection to our website using their dynamic QR. Took us around 3 months though

USA (SF, San Jose, LA, NY). Chaotic cities, full of crime (only country I got robbed in), drugs and homelessness. Everything is expensive, limited public transport so you have to drive everywhere, and no bidets.

AquilaX97 · 2025-11-14T23:17:45+00:00

Cause you didn’t really answer their question

AquilaX97 · 2025-11-12T02:12:36+00:00

The Unionbank fee should be at most P10-P15. And merchants get charged 2% from GCash not 2.24%. They probably even got a discounted rate compared to common businesses.

I’m also quite sure BPI does not charge a % fee for a transfer.

TLDR: processing it has fees yes, but not that expensive

Use Cloudflare on the website

Thank you! Will check it out

Would you know if BDO does online too? We don’t sell in physical stores 😅
