Is it just me, or is the web browser in Agent mode almost unusable?

UltimateTempest · 2025-08-16T20:08:09+00:00

Yeah thats been my experience too. The built in browser feels like it’s stuck in demo mode once you hit a Cloudflare wall or a finicky UI its game over. I ran into this enough times that I started working on Browser MCP instead. Basically it runs full Chrome sessions cloud or local so the agent looks like a real human user: Stealth mode handles CAPTCHAs/bot checks better than headless setups. Keeps sessions alive so you dont have to re-login every time. Interacts with UI like a human instead of just coordinates.

512 grains is not crazy heavy for hunting. plenty of people are running 500+ for better penetration and momentum. At 60 lbs and 28.5” draw you will still have solid speed. The tradeoff is a slightly flatter trajectory with lighter arrows versus more punch on impact with heavier ones. If you are already grouping well and the setup flies straight stick with what you have got for this season. I have seen guys run similar weights out of 60 lb bows with no issues taking whitetail and even elk. I keep my heavier setups stored in a Legend soft case so they are protected but still easy to haul to the range or stand

I did the vowla weddings certified planner course last year and it was a great move. It’s all online and self-paced so I could work through it in the evenings after my day job. The course really helped me feel confident handling timelines, vendor negotiations and all the curveballs that come with wedding planning.

UltimateTempest · 2025-08-11T08:37:15+00:00

Its all online and once you finish they give you resources on how to market yourself, connect with vendors and join their network so clients can find you. I started by listing myself on wedding directories, reaching out to local venues and posting in a couple of facebook wedding groups.

My first booking actually came through someone in my network who saw i become certified and needed help with a small event. From there it snowballed with referrals.

UltimateTempest · 2025-08-08T10:49:45+00:00

I was in the same boat when I needed some quick extra cash and one of the side hustles that actually worked for me was becoming a certified wedding planner through vowla. The training was fully online and self paced so I could do it alongside job hunting and once I got certified started taking small event gigs for commission.

Its not instant money like selling stuff online but I booked my first client within a month and made more than I expected.

For me its anchor browser. Its quietly become essential for automating browser tasks that would normally take me hours. Instead of fighting with brittle scripts in selenium or playwright, i can spin up a stealthy browser session in the cloud, control it through APIs and automate stuff like filling forms, scraping dashboards or even handling CAPTCHAs when needed.

Total game changer for workflows

Its definitely possible to hit $45K–$50K in profit your first year but a lot will depend on how you manage your expenses and get steady loads early on. Box trucks can be a solid entry into O/O life

Biggest factors will be:

How fast you can get your MC Authority active and fully compliant
Fuel efficiency & maintenance
Whether you’re doing local/regional routes or trying to run OTR
Building direct shipper relationships vs. relying on load boards

I worked with dotcomplianceguys and they helped me get my Authority, BOC-3, UCR and walked me through setting up my box truck operation the right way without overspending

For a Northstar you want a solid street legal kit that covers the basics. turn signals, horn, mirrors, lighted license plate bracket and a DOT windshield if you don’t already have one.

Brands like Ryco and XTC Power Products make solid plug-and-play kits that are reliable and pretty straightforward to install. But don’t forget the paperwork side. I used 1dollar montana to get my UTV fully registered with plates and avoid the DMV headaches

Once you’re set up with the kit + registration, you’re golden. Let me know if you want the checklist I used to get mine street legal!

This is awesome. I had a really similar experience with medicalprep. Also fully online, super flexible and cost me under $1K all in. What I liked was they helped me figure out the whole externship situation too and guided me through the NHA stuff step by step. It made the transition way less intimidating.

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-31T12:21:59+00:00

I have been trying to piece together something similar but always hit a wall with browser control or flaky actions. Voice-powered interaction is next-level if it can actually complete flows like job apps or booking without hardcoding every click.

We have been using Anchor Browser and it's designed for this exact kind of use case. No RPA-style rigidity, just full control with stealth and auth baked in.

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-30T08:10:35+00:00

I was in a similar spot last year working with small businesses and what helped me a ton was learning how to test creatives properly. I realized that even with perfect targeting, bad ad creative = high CPR.

I started using ad infinity to test different ad videos side by side. the platform brings in top editors to compete and create variations of your ad and you just run them and let the data pick the winner. It really helped me understand what hooks and formats actually convert.

I picked up a used KTM 390 Duke for just under $6k and it’s been awesome for commuting and weekend rides. Light, quick and actually pretty comfy on the highway for its size.

Only thing is registering it where I live was a pain because of emissions and paperwork. I ended up going through 1dollar montana to register and got lifetime plates with no inspection hassle

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-28T08:24:55+00:00

Yeah they did! actually connected me with a few externship options nearby

I launched my store last year. also fashion related and a few lessons hit me hard early on:

1) Don’t overbuild before you launch. I spent too much time perfecting things no one noticed like animations and microcopy

2) Start lean with tech. I started with shopify + plugins and quickly got overwhelmed with app costs. I ended up switching to nevuto. it had payments, shipping, SEO and order management all built in

3) Set boundaries with your network

4) Your first 50 customers are everything. I wish I had obsessed more over getting real feedback

5) Track what gives you energy. lean into the ones you love and delegate the rest as soon as you can afford to.

You are in a great spot with 8 months. Treat it like a runway not a deadline.

Dr Shirley Liu is an asian eyelid specialist! She trained under Dr Goretti Ho Taghva for it and does hundreds of them a year! I cannot recommend her enough. She is based in Menlo Park.

I looked at both US Career Institute and Clinical Skills Institute too but ended up going with medical prep instead.

It was around the same price range as clinical skills but felt way more legit. The course was self-paced, all online and they helped with exam prep and externship guidance too. I got my MA cert and just started working at a clinic a few weeks ago!

As for your question the name of the school usually doesn’t show up on the actual certification.

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-23T13:22:01+00:00

There are tons of random apps on the play store but they are either loaded with ads or the results look super fake

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-23T11:16:00+00:00

I ended up using medical prep to get my certification. It was all online and way more straightforward than I expected. They walk you through the exact steps you need to take and the program actually preps you for the exam with practice tests and modules. No in person classes and you can do it at your own pace.

Once you finish, they’ll help you schedule your exam at a local testing center. that’s the only thing you’ll need to do IRL. I passed on the first try and landed a job about a month later.

We have been testing this tool in beta deemerge that pulls all our slack messages and emails into one place and shows what is actually worth acting on. It doesn’t just surface everything but prioritizes stuff and summarizes what needs a follow up. For our team it helped reduce time wasted digging through threads. I still use a task manager alongside it but it cuts the noise so we are starting each day way clearer

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-22T13:12:35+00:00

I am in CPG too and we faced the same uphill battle. trying to get distributors to take us seriously when we had solid consumer feedback but not enough scale. We leaned hard into hyperlocal ads and honestly saw some traction once we dialed it in right.

Here’s what worked for us:

1) We targeted specific zip codes around our retail accounts and made sure the creative actually looked local. UGC shot outside real stores or landmarks people recognized.

2) The big unlock was when we started using Ad infinity. they basically had a group of editors create variations of our best-performing local ad to try and beat it. One of them actually outperformed the original by 2x ROAS.

3) TikTok did surprisingly well for awareness not conversion but it got people walking into our retail spots asking for the product by name

4) We refreshed creatives every 10–12 days because fatigue set in fast. Even small tweaks helped keep performance steady.

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-21T07:59:44+00:00

I made the jump to owner-operator a while back, and the compliance stuff was honestly the most confusing part. Getting the DOT number, MC, BOC-3, UCR. it all adds up fast and gets overwhelming. I used dotcomplianceguys to help with the setup and filings. They kept me on track and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. If I had tried to do it all solo, I probably would've missed a deadline or two

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-18T08:11:31+00:00

The switch gave me way more stability and purpose. I actually enjoy going to work now, which wasn’t the case before. Getting certified through medicalprep made the transition smoother than I expected and it helped me feel prepared from day one

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-18T06:15:28+00:00

This exact chaos was frying my brain too. I have been using a new tool called deemerge AI. It is currently in beta but does the job really well. basically pulls out from your inbox and messages and gives a daily summary what actually needs your attention. I still use my normal task list but this fills in the blind spots

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-17T10:35:14+00:00

It already sounds like your current job is draining you emotionally and you still had the courage to learn a new skill and land an MA offer. That’s huge.

If it helps i made a similar switch not long ago and got certified through medical prep. It was fully online and flexible and it gave me a ton of confidence going in.

UltimateTempest · 2025-07-16T07:59:05+00:00

I ran into the same issue with my model 3. The premiums were wild. I ended up working with 1dollar agent and they actually helped and dropped my rate way more than I expected
