While the market has been amazing and I hope you all got a good bite of this cake with one of the stocks that ran, remember that trading is a cash flow scheme. Its not a get rich quick scheme. Use the money that you made - celebrate your loved ones, move the money into less risky assets, start putting it towards something that can help you create generational wealth or your kids college fund and never touch it.

Over years I have seen so many post screenshots and make a lot of money in the market and only to lose it all when conditions become tough. (I am not trying to be a party pooper. I love your success)

The euphoria when winning and the fear when losing both are equally harmful to you in the long run.

Ok, time to celebrate. Dallas weekend 👾🎃🫶🏽

Suddenly, you're 27.

You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.

Then you wake up, and do it all again.

And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.

How did everything pass by so quickly?

You don't even feel 27.

You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.

But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.

But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.

Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.

So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.

The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.

Is hiring a project manager worth the expense?

After decades in retail real estate, I still do not pretend to know every detail about construction, renovations, or navigating the endless stream of change orders and permits. That is why I bring in an experienced project manager, because their expertise often saves more than it costs.

From multimillion-dollar renovations to complicated tenant buildouts, their oversight has kept projects on budget, on schedule, and just as importantly kept my stress levels in check.

Why I will never take on a major project without one: ✔️They catch costly mistakes before they happen
✔️ They keep permits, contractors, and timelines moving smoothly
✔️ They handle complex lease requirements and vendor coordination

Let's break down how a GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) actually works in construction.

There are many misconceptions here - and that's why some folks end up in costly disputes later.

First, let's be clear: The "Guaranteed" in GMP isn't as iron-clad as it sounds. This is fundamentally a "Cost Plus" structure with a ceiling.

Anyone telling you differently doesn't actually understand how these contracts work.

If India wants to stop migration of the talent pool - we need clean air. It is not just an environmental concern anymore. It is an economic concern.

[Amit Schandillia @Schandillia]

India is filthy.

Few places in the world are filthier. There are countries with a fraction of our GDP that look pristine in comparison.

There’s a country with the same population as ours and a worse economy until not too long ago, where street-food carts in a tiny frontier town looks cleaner than the kitchen of a star-rated restaurant in Mumbai.

There’s places with half our literacy and twice our population density that enjoy better air, cleaner water, and a more evolved civic sense.

There’s rivers that hold zero religious or cultural value and are still far more potable than the ones we call and worship as “maa” here.

India is impossibly filthy.

I don’t know which government has the wherewithal or even the will to do anything about it, but it’s beyond depressing.

No amount of moon missions and AI will ever make up for this most fundamental negative in our culture.

If a government really wished to do something revolutionary, this right here is what it should fix.

How, I don’t know.

But we have zero rights to take offense when the world runs hate campaigns over our ugliness.

And no, frantically googling images of dirty Philadelphia alleys and packed Chinese trains won’t help. Sanatan-kanging won’t help. Harping about “muh million-year-old culture” won’t help. Calling every criticism an anti-India conspiracy won’t help.

Acceptance might.

The stereotypes exist for a reason.

Today, it’s one podcast, tomorrow it’ll be the rest.

20 years ago we released Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas.

The original plan was for the 3 cities to be on separate maps. The player would travel between the cities using trains and planes.
(Gta 1 and 2 also had three cities on separate maps)

Memory was very tight on the ps2 and with separate maps, the other cities’ skyline models wouldn’t have to be in memory.

It would also make it easier to have different police/ambulance/firetrucks for each city. Different pickups, weather types etc.

It would also be easier to contain the player until it was time for the next city.

It would also make it easier to organize the models on the DVD city-by-city which would help the streaming.

Just before the artists started working on the three maps, we had a final meeting at R* North in which we changed our minds and decided to go for a big map after all.

We still ended up doing city-specific pickups, police cars and weather.

Happy birthday San Andreas. You turned out all right.

Do you ever feel that older cities are just more interesting than new ones?

Well, it isn't just because they're old.

It's because of something called "vernacular architecture"...

In 2003, Saturn released a commercial that ironically highlighted the inefficiency of cars and how much space they occupy.
