They're not enjoying working on the company together. It's mainly that they don't like or want the stress of working on a startup, and want to run it more as a lifestyle business.

The seed investor is remaining neutral. It's not so much that they'll torch the company. They're just saying they don't have the cash so need to reduce my stake. They will budge on the 3% I'm sure, but I don't

Great, thanks for listening! I spent a week coding my own implementation via your API. It seems like a react-native dropin would be very popular. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk more about it.

I'm pretty good at UX and I don't have any issues with the current experience. It actually really helped me for my use case. I wouldn't use a spreadsheet. While I clicked 'How was this calculated?', I realised I did

Thank you for this. I am prescribed 50mg Elvanse and feel slightly worried about its long term effects - and also feel its effectiveness decreasing. I don't know where this ends. I don't want to keep increasing the dose, but witho

Irrational problems have irrational solutions. If your child is scared at night because of the monster under their bed, you don't show them that it isn't there. You make a magic stick and give it to the child and tell it that it&#
