Great writeup and great read. This reminded me of the time I took the Coast Starlight from LA to Seattle with my mother. Some beautiful memories. I highly recommend taking a long distance Amtrak route, when you can. You get to see a beautif

It filters your shower water depending on the type you get, in my case it's a simple chlorine filter from Brita. All the ones you see online are largely the same type with different branding. It's not to expensive, personally I va

There you go! That's a good start, believe it or not the initial step is hardest, from here on out all you have to do is consistently share and not care about the outcome. First time of hearing of nicheless, looks cool! One thing I for

No its not. I argue that its actually a great time to apply. Yes there is more competition because of the layoffs but you should know that as businesses layoff a big number of those are for low-value positions/work. If you are competen

Your blog is really nice! Information like yours is great to see more of. In regards to discoverability[1] I shared a rule you may find useful, why is it a huge challenge? Are you aiming to monetize? [1] - https://news.ycombinato
