come back home in Costa Rica and descend a steep downhill with the car, then breaking started being less effective at slowing the car. A burnt smell entered the inside of the car, we managed to stop, and one of the brake was smoking like its burning!!! Managed to get back home safely after waiting for them to cool down and drive at 5kph downhill with micro braking, will need to go check at a garage soon cause this ain’t safe #life

schedule wire to personal bank of money from sale of a stock picking that worked (+40%), cause I’m cash poor and I need money #life

buy some more gold to bring gold assets to 10% of my total assets since times get more uncertain now #life

drink less coffee today and actually feel less burnt, maybe the cause of being tired was building caffeine dependence after all #life

disable auto-audio level feature on AirPods cause very annoying when a car passes far away on the road my AirPods suddently start blasting in my ears even w/o ANC on - in my experience, the dumber AirPods are, the better they are #life

lose power again as the whole village tripped, power on 5G router on big battery for backup internet and be glad I charged all batteries today when power got back in the morning #life

experience a first earthquake since in Costa Rica, and realize I am 60km away from an active volcano #life

nuke all social media from phone (Instagram + X) cause I realized it's been 3 days I started doomscrolling and it never happened to me before, maybe since X forced the loading of images in my timeline which I disabled but they removed the option from the app, need to fix the addiction before it starts so I wont be using any social media anymore #life

gain back grid electricity and thus charge up all batteries to be able to last the day if it falls down again #life

wake up and realize we lost all grid power for good in the village after the storm, I am glad I charged up all batteries to be able to keep going on and have internet cause 3G towers still on #life

charge all backup batteries to 100% because power just got cut and we are in the middle of a storm, and we got power back but maybe it'll go off again soon — that will power backup 5G router and charge phone for lights if power gets out for too long #life

sleep 13h tonight to recover from overwork 12h hours a day work week this week #life

reply to 3rd bank / broker this week about data request on origin of my funds, cause they all think I’m money laundering this month for some reason due to EU KYC regulation shit, send all the evidence to my bank and lose 20 minutes of time to EU bank compliance #life

cleanup personal Dropbox storage of all useless files and move some files locally on my Mac, only keep shared business stuff on Dropbox #life

take time off in nature to keep energy levels high cause too much work lately, and it’s very effective #life

eat the best food in the world #life

feel tired this morning, slow things down a bit cause realize been so intense for the last 6+ months non-stop like a machine and its quite taxing on my energy now, can def feel it — creativity needs a huge recharge, been half a year I didn't touch my side projects at all and they usually help a lot 🤡 #life

upgrade all personal vps linux and apt dependencies for security #life

try macOS Tahoe in light mode and get shocked at where we got at in terms of contrast, UI elements blend together and the difference between sections is not even visible, making all apps in light mode UI barely usable and hurting my designer eyes — I think it's only good-looking and usable in Dark Mode — missing the good old time of Jobs' Apple #life

make specialty Costa Rican local espresso on Wacaco #life
