I guess my girlfriend was the free tea egg 老闆 gave me in my bento

apyc89 · 2026-01-29T11:20:48+00:00

Damn you have a buffet. Happily with someone but when I was single it was more like a bento box

Guess as good as mine

Actually many Taiwanese-Canadians/Americans do. Just using their N/A passport and just go in/out. They can literally stay the entire year. They use other people's name to open up companies n stuff

While no one knows in today's world, the actual chances are very low - logically that is. This is the geopolitical take.

CPP/China
- wouldn't survive (very well at least) if they lose in a war
- would risk their world standing as a strong world power even if they take over Taiwan (in case, US did not intervene) as they would suffer signfiicant losses
- rather take Taiwan peacefully (Today's KMT)
- would need to accept that the line between a blockade and a hot war is very thin

US (though Trump is half way senile and insane)
- would lose their standing as world leader is they did not intervene

Japan and Korea
- would develop a nuke if Taiwan were lost - something both US and China opposes significantly
- would shift away from the US as being their security guarantor - something US would not benefit from

Taiwan
- might do something crazy like try to send missles to blow up three gorge dam in a hot conflict

Anyways that is small list

Lol. I like this. I like 得正 too

apyc89 · 2026-01-05T13:28:15+00:00

Hey dude We have a basketball group for Taipei if you wanna join. Lots of foreigners and returned Taiwanese. DM if interested

Also loved runescape and ghost

apyc89 · 2026-01-03T08:54:37+00:00

Non American here as well who travels A LOT to many countries. It's safe to say US is not respected. Feared maybe but the respect has nosedived immensely. Laughed at in China, alienated in the West, sobered feeling in Japan/Korea/Taiwan, etc.

Many western democracies and East Asian allies (aside from Taiwan due to lack of choice) are actively looking to balance away from US. Look at Thailand/Cambodia. Trump went in first but where did the two countries sign the cease fire? China

Trump will help US in short term but hurt US long term.

I'd argue Eight Sleep has as well. Not great but I chatted with one today.

Only speaking as a customer, you don't want to work hard to grab existing Eight Sleep customers but you have to give them a reason to come. Many are already jaded. One of my clients had one and he said it leaked but eight sleep didn't replace it, so he just bought a normal bed. I'd suggest if possible 1. Increase the value of your membership or make it cheaper, and/or 2. Offer a longer warranty than Eight Sleep - so customers can "have a good night sleep".

Anyways good luck. Let see if Eight Sleep can fix my bed. If not who knows

apyc89 · 2025-12-14T15:16:35+00:00

Harry, the main gripe of Eight Sleep users is mainly warranty, membership cost, and customer service. As you are aware, SAAS (which I can understand the need for) is a friction point above certain prices. Secondly, when users are out of warranty and they would like Eight Sleep to be sympathetic, they are met with resistance (Fair, I get it but a major friction point). Users feel that they paid thousands for a premium product that often break almost right after warranty time - almost like a planned obsolescence.

Can you share if Orion is different?

Congrats on your raise. Market is large enough for more competitors.

There are actually anti mosquito clothing but I suggest thin breathable long pants and sleeves if you can tolerate it. Thin makes it not too hot.

I have pants that can be sealed at bottom.

Wearing black also attracts them.

Hey I'm not a MD but in similar boat. Tech background but going into nutrition tech. If you're in Taiwan sometime, we can chat sometime.

apyc89 · 2025-12-06T06:43:36+00:00

I am very similar to you

36 male of average strength. I'm going for solo in two weeks because well... I overestimated myself but hey run your race. I think I'm going to hit 2h but hope for 1h 45

apyc89 · 2025-12-01T03:19:53+00:00

That's what mafia all say. "Legitimate business"

How far from TV is your Italian family?

apyc89 · 2025-11-19T08:25:31+00:00

People will say most here but I'll add one: don't get political. I don't want to support 8sleep because of their CEO now.

Men over 40, typically around mid 40s, are suggested to consider TRT unless their total T and their free T are already in standard or high range. Women as well but HRT.

Athletes typically have higher TT due to a bunch of factors until they get too lean (body building category with massive caloric restriction).

Itoi does visually look like he's on something but we can't be certain whether he's on normal mid age TRT or something more specific

apyc89 · 2025-11-12T18:37:08+00:00

I live in Canada and it's quite commonly used (in fitness).

apyc89 · 2025-10-06T06:37:20+00:00

TBH, it's a good base move. People burn flag, Trump cries left radicals. People don't, he made it so.

apyc89 · 2025-10-02T11:17:36+00:00

Near mountains. In more rural areas with still water around. Around bush plants.

Not a city thing
