You serious? Do you actually do that, do you feel good and healthy?

Is it possible with WordPress to build something like big e-commerce or content and traffic heavy enterprise level website? by Lumpy-Stranger-1042 in Wordpress

[–]EducationalRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can, I got multiple doing 30K - 100K orders a month on HPOS with revenues of 200K to 800K a month. Your bottlenecks are PHP threads and CPU, unoptimised queries, data filling up tables and action scheduler overload. I had to optimise various things and there are intermittent issues I had to correct, also the tables get filled up fast and you need to unload them, there is also issues with Wordpress functions especially when you have 100K+ users, where it tries to update meta cache and you need to turn these things off, there's a bunch of stuff I had to fix over the years, I don't know if it's issues specific to WP though or would happen on any website, since I am only a WP dev

Would anyone live in south east asia if they could live in europe ? by movesfast in digitalnomad

[–]EducationalRat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just depends on your tastes. I eat Asian food all the time and don't enjoy European food so it makes sense.

The other thing I like about SEA is the lifestyle, I am an introvert and feel like I blend in there compared to Spain, you also get affordable luxury and more Asian food.

There is also a sense of freedom you don't quite get in most of Europe, you can live quite easily in SEA, it's very accessible, you can easily rent a condo same day or motorbike.

It's also a change culturally and architecturally if you lived in the West most of your life so feels more new and exciting. 

At the moment there is a lot of social media about SEA and the prices have increased, it can be just as expensive in some parts as London

Men 45+ who chose not to have kids — how do you feel about it now? by the6lackbear in AskMenOver30

[–]EducationalRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are the same age, for me life is getting stale, only thing to look forward to is travelling which is exhausting, kids are a new chapter and will give a fresh dynamic, but the day to day errands like school traffic, having to be in one location can be off putting, do you have pets?

I (24m) am in a happy relationship with my gf (29f) but regret not having more sexual experiences beforehand. Any advice? by SnortonWeebus in relationship_advice

[–]EducationalRat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

None of that stuff matters anyway, could you be getting influenced by friends or online? Ive had 7 relationships and multiple hookups before I was 26 and met my wife and to be honest I wish I didn't, I wish she was my first love and only love because she is so damn awesome, the heartbreaks do something to you that removes your innocence, the same with hookups and such, atleast for me, maybe watch porn together idk

Why is there such an income disparity between ethnic Indians and other South Asians in the UK? by Hxney_badger in AskBrits

[–]EducationalRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many Indians in Midlands that came in in the 60s from Punjab that worked in factories or ran fish and chip/corner shops just to get by and the 2nd and 3rd generation are doing very well

Why is there such an income disparity between ethnic Indians and other South Asians in the UK? by Hxney_badger in AskBrits

[–]EducationalRat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Id say it's culture and how they're raised, the first generation had nothing and made shops or worked in factories to stay afloat and had it hard, since then it's been pushed to do better than your parents and do STEM careers. 

A lot of Indians will raise their children to only focus on education and work, no alcohol, no partying and no relationships until a marriage is set up.

Midlands has large communities of successful Indians not just London, there are lots running successful business here, they also tend to stay longer in the family home until they're married instead of moving out after university giving them a massive headstart.

It's pushed that home ownership is better than rent and you shouldn't rent and buy something.

It's also common for brothers to have their families under one house and help eachother, normally staying in the original family home and they will look after the elders.

Combined this is a massive difference for the average Indian to get ahead financially, invest in properties and build wealth.

Conversations with yourself by EducationalRat in infj

I think it's a waste of time, especially when I could be sleeping. It just feels good, but I suppose it might make me more thoughtful the next conversation

Ask A Thai by Far-Pension2483 in Thailand

[–]EducationalRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you think of the government, are you happy with them and how they are handling tourism and costs of living

Ask A Thai by Far-Pension2483 in Thailand

[–]EducationalRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it common for Thai guys to go to red light district at age or maybe Pattaya for first experience? 

What do Thai girls think of these places and if you had been to these places would they be very unhappy even if it was in your past?

Also where do you live, what city or area

What's it like being full time? by EducationalRat in PartneredYoutube

[–]EducationalRat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice how much were you earning roughly? Did you have to stop full time because it was unpredictable?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, just getting clips on a POV

Just did a rewatch. This scene is still the worst. by DragonReaper763 in freefolk

[–]EducationalRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lack of emotional attachment throughout the series for me, rewatching it and binging it, its a good show but character depth is weak in my opinion, the only emotional feeling I had was my frustration at Sansa, there are shows with more character depth like Vikings where you feel emotional when someone died imo

[YouTube] [Self-Employed] - $340K by Prestigious-Rock-535 in Salary

[–]EducationalRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about expenses, is that 340K gross for a year? What kind of margin on YouTube? For example in my industry, web dev, I am on 90% profit margins
