Re: ADHD meds update
Not sure if this thread is still relevant to someone but I take 50mg/day (I started with 30mg/day).
At the beginning I also felt a high level of stress, but actually it taught me that I do way too many useless things in my life I should get rid off.

Re: Best way of using Google Sheets as a database?
Like I said, you don't even have to code. You can easily use Google Sheets to create insert statements like that:

Then simply copy all these insert statements into a .sql file and import it into your relational database. Then you can run queries on it using SQL.

I really like your project, must be a lot of fun to get that apartment in better shape. I think I'd spend way too much money on that so it's interesting how it works out for you.

Re: Acceleration of market trends - due to COVID or new normal?
Oh, bonds deliver nice returns when interest rates drop. As we know, 0% is not the limit. -1% is not the limit either. You don't need to buy bonds for interest payments.

Re: Best way of using Google Sheets as a database?
Oh, if you know how to use sql you should be able to do it. You could directly generate insert statements as this can be expressed with a formula, copy them to a text file and import it into a relational database.
Or maybe you can even directly import CSV.

Re: Acceleration of market trends - due to COVID or new normal?
Well, shouldn't there be a balance between passivly and actively funds as soon as the markets become inefficient due to the passive investing and give the active managers the opportunity to exploit these inefficiencies?

Re: Best way of using Google Sheets as a database?
I assume you know how to code, right? I personally would write a job that fetches the data from the google sheet, insert into a local relational database (sqlite should be sufficient) and then run the queries there.

Another problem with these fake meats, besides the disappointment, is the price. Not a good value.

Re: Acceleration of market trends - due to COVID or new normal?
Historically speaking, low interest rates have the tendency to increase speculation much more than of real economic growth.
The flash crash in march was the best example. Everything (even highest quality government bonds and gold) were sold and there was a high correlation of all asset classes. Why ...

Re: Income sources other than ‘normal jobs’
I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm under the impression that donating your plasma is also donating some of your stem cells. I don't know about these in all that much detail, so perhaps someone else can chime in, or you may want to research this if you aren't already familiar.

Re: Income sources other than ‘normal jobs’
I started donating blood plasma again. It's 1650€/year if I donate once per week, it's a nice way to do something good (a lot of lives depend on plasma donations) and I can read books in peace while I am connected to the machine.
