i’ll address this as if it was a genuine question. my handwriting is awful, not to mention that my physical notebook management is awful. i’ve considered a supernote nomad as a way…

there’s space for both perspectives. they are not “leaders” in the purest sense - they don’t demonstrate characteristics of leading, but rather characteristics of people who strive…

i’ve walked the via francigena and the italian section has quite a few sections of ancient roman road. they’re admittedly not contiguous, and are worn more extensively now, so i do…

you’re going to pay the cost regardless. one approach absorbs the cost up front, and the other defers it, with interest

catastrophic converter is such a hilarious autocorrect.
