Interesting read.
My pain point at the moment is where do I go to start to find interesting people? I am in a city I haven't been in for 8 years, the people I used to know our lives have drifted apart.

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing
Now that is someone who has thought about this question a lot
Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.
Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good
I mean in some ways what percentage of emissions come from NZ? The whole country could disappear and it would barely make a difference.
Surely they have bigger things to focus on?
Went to a festival and had 1 day before the festival started. Hiked up the nearby mountain and was greeted with semi frozen lakes and plenty of snow. Being my first time seeing snow it was an amazing day, even got to slide down some of it on my rain jacket.
Smartphones were a joke until the iPhone. There will be some resistance, but someone will crack the code to make it easily acceptable and then the race is away with the AI products
