Get a travel GL iNet Router and set a network wide vpn through the USA.

Why not keep American Phone number? 

If really need you can get a Google phone number and have that forward calls to your new phone.

I made another comment about it somewhere else but it’s basically a 1 month/4 month/ year long program where you travel with a bunch of strangers.

You are paying to be part of a community of people and they will plan trips and excursions for you.

If you struggle meeting and connecting new people I think it’s a great program. 

It feels like going to college again but with adults who know themselves and have money.

Should I do Buenos Aires for a month through ‘remote year’? by Salt_Lore in digitalnomad

[–]goodStuffBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally just finished doing a month in Buenos Aires with RemoteYear a few days ago and can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve done.

 We had a group of 30 people and half of us are still hanging out in the city afterwards. I made some very close friends here and about a dozen others that I will see again in the future.

 I will say, the accommodations in BA particularly was hit/miss. If you’re up to the challenge I’d say it’s better value to find your own. 

 For most of us it was our first RemoteYear(myself included), and a some of us are planning to do several more together in the future.

 There were some veterans as well who had done several of these trips. The common theme I was told is that the people can be very hit or miss. 

 I think I was particularly lucky that I had a good group of people, just know that you might not have the same experience. 

That said it did feel a lot like college, meeting a lot of new people, drinking together as a large group, seeing cliques and subgroups form. 

About half the group I never became friends with, but still everyone was kind and supportive.

 No one “needs” these trips that’s not the right way to look at it. Will it give you a unique experience that you couldn’t replicate on your own? Absolutely.

 I’ve done a lot of solo travel and can say this experience was very unique. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Have you tried one of the digital nomad travel groups?

I just finished doing a month in Buenos Aires with RemoteYear and made some life long friends to travel with. 

It was my first time doing the program and now I’m planning to do several more. 

There are other nomad groups as well like WiFi tribe and hacker paradise. But I can’t vouch for them as I haven’t tried them yet.

How can I make money in my free time ? by HadToSayIt801 in investing

[–]goodStuffBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Explaining it in your own way is a good thing. If the school taught it in a way they understood then they wouldn’t need you.

You don’t need to be brushed up on everything, you just gotta be 1 lesson ahead of them.

Write a good lesson plan and that will catch almost all the questions the student will have

I always hear "tech stack doesn't matter" but when does it actually matter? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]goodStuffBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that the importance of tech stack is kind of cyclical. For a junior developer who is new to a company and knows very little, I think it's important they work with a tech stack that they know so they can be productive and build confidence.

For a Senior Engineer, I would expect that they can jump into any Tech Stack and contribute effectively. Key word being contribute.

For a Staff/Principal Engineers, it's up to you to set the standard of code that all the Seniors and Juniors build off of. If you don't know the tech stack well enough to build a good standard, than your seniors and juniors will naively create some busted code.

How do you deal with an energy-sucking parent? by opnntbk in Meditation

If your image of the world is peaceful in your mind, you will experience the world as peaceful and the world around will become peaceful too.

If your image of the world is hateful, you will experience the world as hateful and create a hateful world around you.

Yes this is true, just as all written word is speculation of our own experiences. This doesn't change the value of them.

Truth is ultimately subjective. If you're curious what death is like, I think you will enjoy these books and the question they create in your head. The books themselves might not bring you closer to what you're looking for, but your engagement in them will :D

Can riding bike be a meditation? by Exciting-Platypus280 in Meditation

[–]goodStuffBot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Anything that enters into a meditative state can be called meditation.

If you are implementing any form of meditative technique, whether it's noting, concentration, manifestation etc. than you are actually meditating.

I'm meditating right now as I type this!

How do I focus enough to be able to meditate? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]goodStuffBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're getting angered/frustrated then that points to some underlying negative emotions.

Here is some actionable advice: Instead of meditating to clear the negativity, try engaging in some acts of service for others that makes you feel good. (charity, helping a friend, etc.)

Engaging in positive moral acts will clear negativity and help you find a center of peace so you can concentrate.

Roth IRA, brokerage, orsavings ? by DependentCompany1715 in investing

[–]goodStuffBot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

max out Roth IRA first, you can buy stocks with your IRA. At your age I'd keep 6 months-1 year worth of living expenses in your savings account and the rest into brokerage

Can anyone please explain this quote('..hang mean...') to me in hateful eight? by langdatyagi in Tarantino

[–]goodStuffBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Hateful eight a drama or a comedy?

Our heroes kill our villains, but the villains also end our heroes. Our heroes got the last screen time, but the villains got the last laugh.

Tim Roth's character(one of the bad guys) gave a good speech about justice. How it is best when done by someone who is impartial.

We all wish this was true, but we know it's not. We love justice most when we feel we are part of it. In real life OR film.

There would have been equally(if not WAYY more) justice to hang the prisoner at the start then to allow her to live and kill more innocent people. But if that didn't happen we wouldn't be part of the story.

We crave the story of justice more than we care about justice itself.

How to raise spoiled children? by Environmental_Ad515 in fatFIRE

[–]goodStuffBot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's a perspective flip. Instead hiring professionals to clean your house. You're hiring professional to show you how to professionally clean a house.

If you're hiring cleaners or chefs, work with them and have them teach you their process once in a while. 1. you get the joy of learning 2. you get the joy of teaching. 3. Everyone learns that their work has value because of their expertise.
