So we play like 10-20 minutes a few times a week. It's quite challenging to get back in, remember the special button combos, and remember what you were working on last time. Also, my little one "doesn't like" certain tasks that are important to finish to move on to the next section. So it's a challenge to do it and hear "oh maaaan not blow fish submarine daddyyyyy".

This is the first time in my career that a Mac is the preferred machine for an organization. I've been using Windows for 30 years. This is a big change for me but I want to learn some useful tips and tricks on Mac os.
This could be "what are some changes you made on the Mac settings to make your Mac experience feel more comfortable?" Or "what tool on Mac can you not live without?"
There aren't any rules really, I want this to be a fun conversation, thanks everyone!

Do most people just end up working part time for a couple people they know, but then keep expanding the network? Just curious about the building blocks for doing this full time.

I don't need this revenue at this point, don't get me wrong it would be nice, but I think of it as getting paid to learn something new.

I had heard about GLG a while ago and I was just approached by someone from GLG for a project. Does anyone have experience working with them specifically? I have never done any paid consulting gigs and I want to make sure I understand what I'm getting into.

I'm building a treehouse for my kids right now and I'm using a lot of used materials, but I'm spending the money where it matters. I spend extra for the parts that need to last or bring the strength.
I get so excited when I find something cheap or free, it is a really good feeling. I can have this thing for a fraction of the cost that would make my family's lives better.

Miyokos even makes a pourable mozzarella, for pizza, that I have heard positive things about.
This might be a weird recommendation, but Eric from Hand Tool Rescue on YouTube has a degree (maybe even a doctorate) in plants. He is a huge tomato nerd and lives in Canada. Maybe you could contact him for some advice?
