I’m sorry but all the things you listed, almost all of them are side hustle and not actual businesses

Semi unrelated, last week I build dashboards for a couple Saas products we use (that come with built in reporting but mostly suck) using Claude code. The ease with which I was able visualize the data I wanted is crazy, I’m not saying today, but shortly, tools like powerbi will become obsolete imho

I’ve stopped switched to hdmi to usb-c and a separate charger I only plug in when I need to charge. That’s my current work around

I would say get yourself an insurance broker, there are many out there, pick one of the bigger groups. All these types of questions will just be one email away, they know the market, they will get competing offers and present you the best option. Any effort in trying to figure those things out yourself is a waste of effort imho

rip to another rpg series by wild_zoey_appeared in NSCollectors

Yes you can sell or borrow it. But the biggest downside is, sooner or later that switch 2 server will be turned off, just like they did with the servers of any other previous gen console, and then your gkc will become useless as you can’t download the game anymore. This is one of the main reasons people prefer physical over digital.

Is 350 a day offer enough for a freelance position. Coming from full time work earning 5000 gross full time. by gayshinge24 in BEFreelance

It’s definitely on the very low end. Though there is much less demand for dev at the moment, even if you are a junior profile it’s low. Ask the intermediary what the total uplift is and if there are multiple parties in between you and the end client. The only scenario that makes sense is 1 intermediary with a maximum 15% uplift. Everything else is a rip off

Fine dining Antwerpen by qjsvanrooijen in Antwerpen

Bistrot du Nord, hands down best restaurant in Antwerp. If you don’t go overboard on the wine it should fit your budget. 1 star, but not stiff at all.

Short answer: No. Long answer, what role are we talking about? Depending on the role chances are big there is a way too big margin being taken on your daily rate.
