Ma coloc est en M1, elle dort ses 8 heures, elle se couche pas tard, et elle se lève rincée tous les matins. C'est pas un problème de quantité, elle a essayé de dormir plus et ça change rien du tout.

Elle a fini par aller au SUMPPS. On lui a dit que c'était le stress des partiels, ce qui est peut-être vrai sauf qu'on est en août.

Là où ça devient bête, c'est qu'elle s'est mise à acheter des trucs un peu au hasard pour compenser. Du magnésium Juvamine à Carrefour parce que c'était à 4 euros, puis un complexe B de chez Nutrimea parce qu'une amie lui a dit que c'était mieux dosé. Elle prend les deux depuis six semaines sans savoir si elle avait besoin de l'un, de l'autre, ou d'aucun des deux.

Ce qui me chiffonne c'est l'ordre des choses. Elle achète pour compenser un truc qu'elle a jamais fait vérifier, donc dans six mois, que ça aille mieux ou pas, elle saura toujours pas pourquoi. Et pendant ce temps elle dépense tous les mois.

Le souci c'est qu'une prise de sang large sans ordonnance ça coûte, et avec une bourse c'est pas une dépense qu'on fait à la légère.

Ceux qui ont eu cette fatigue qui part pas malgré le sommeil, vous avez fini par trouver d'où ça venait ?

Our PMO ran AI pilots across the whole stack last year and by February most were dead, still in the account but nobody logging back in.

Asana's AI felt half-built, and ClickUp Brain got a couple of good internal reviews before it disappeared, the two left in the stack are Notion AI for docs and BuildBetter for call summaries, and I'm not sure the second one belongs in a PM workflow or if we're just keeping it because nothing else filled the gap.

Maybe we picked the wrong batch, so what held up at your org?

We're at a 15-person b2b consulting firm, doing around 300 net new contacts into sequences per month, and after 8 months of adding tools whenever a specific gap showed up the stack has more overlap than it should.

We're on Lemlist for sequencing and Clay for enrichment and list-building, both of which have held up, but we also have Smartlead seats for warm-up that overlap with what Lemlist already handles natively and a handful of Apollo seats added midway through the year that never got consolidated into one workflow.

The redundancy is getting hard to justify month over month, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a clean framework for auditing this or if it just comes down to running an A/B and seeing what the numbers say.

The 2 specific things I'm unsure on are whether dedicated inbox warm-up platforms are worth the separate cost at this volume compared to what's native in the sequencer, and whether Clay is irreplaceable at a 300-contact monthly pace or if a lighter enrichment option closes most of the gap.

Would be useful to hear from teams who've been through a similar stack rationalization and what they changed.

thanks!

Been on unwrap since late last year for reviews and ticket analysis, and it's decent for that, but all our signal from Zoom calls just sits there untouched.

We tried enterpret, but it felt like a step sideways given they're built for teams with massive feedback volume, which we're not.

Testing BuildBetter right now since it ingests the recordings directly, and last week a batch of calls turned into a feature gap doc that ended up in our sprint planning.

wondering if we've missed something though, so anything else in that lane worth comparing before we commit?

Mon frère bosse en 3x8 chez un sous-traitant aéro du côté de Colomiers depuis onze ans. La semaine dernière il est passé à sa visite médicale quinquennale au service interentreprises. Il en est ressorti avec une feuille A4.

Test de vue, tension, deux ou trois questions sur le poste et le sommeil, un tampon, apte. Douze minutes montre en main. Il avait posé une demi-journée pour ça.

Zéro prise de sang. Il a demandé, on lui a répondu que c'était pas prévu sauf exposition particulière, et que pour le reste il fallait voir son médecin traitant.
Il a 44 ans, onze ans de nuits alternées derrière lui, et notre père est diabétique depuis la cinquantaine. Donc si quelqu'un mérite un contrôle métabolique un peu sérieux tous les cinq ans, c'est plutôt lui.

Il a fini par aller faire une prise de sang de son côté dans un labo Labosud, et il a pris un truc en ligne pour l'interprétation parce que le PDF tout seul lui parlait pas, Lucis je crois. De sa poche évidemment.
Ce qui me dépasse c'est l'écart entre le nom et le contenu. On appelle ça une visite médicale, la boîte coche sa case, tout le monde est en règle, et il n'y a pas eu un seul examen capable de détecter quoi que ce soit.

Je sais qu'on va me répondre que c'est pas le rôle de la médecine du travail de faire du dépistage, et c'est vrai. Mais dans un bassin où la moitié des gens qu'on connaît tourne en équipes, il faudrait peut-être appeler ça autrement, parce que beaucoup sont persuadés que c'est leur check-up.

Ceux qui bossent en 3x8 ou en poste exposé par ici, votre médecine du travail vous fait des analyses ou pas du tout ?

We're close to signing with an EOR for our Germany and Netherlands hires and reading through the draft contracts flagged a few clauses we want to push on before we sign.

We're looking hard at termination first, who can trigger it, what the notice period is, and what the employee's situation is if the EOR relationship ends while they're still active, and we're checking the DPA the same way since we want to confirm it's GDPR-compliant and not just written that way in the MSA.

Entity structure is the other thing we're pushing on, whether the EOR employs directly via its own entities in each country or routes through a third-party employer, since that changes the liability picture entirely, and we want to know what their ceiling is if they misclassify or miss a payroll run.

Last one on our list is IP assignment, whether the EOR's standard employment contract assigns IP back to the company or whether that's something we need to negotiate separately.

We're working through Workmotion's contracts now and they've been transparent on the structure side, but I'm not confident we're asking all the right questions before we commit long term.

Going back to them this week with our questions, so if you've been through this, what else would you have flagged?

Trying to understand if composable commerce is relevant for our situation or whether we're being sold into it.

We're a fashion brand on heavily customized Shopify Plus, where multi-country checkout doesn't scale cleanly and sale day peak traffic is a recurring headache.

Still can't pin down where the composable inflection point sits, because when we search Reddit for this the main platforms in the conversation are commercetools, SCAYLE, Fabric, and Elastic Path as the composable-native options alongside SAP Commerce Cloud and SFCC for people migrating off legacy.

But even the composable vendors themselves seem to disagree on what GMV or SKU count triggers the switch.

Would help to hear from people who've been through this evaluation and what eventually made the call clear.

We're 7 hires in across the UK, Netherlands and Germany (all on EOR arrangements), and the quotes we've had from Deel and Remote differ enough that I can't tell whether that's a fee structure difference or just one of them being more expensive on the whole.

The management fee feels like the natural comparison point, but once you layer in employer social contribution markups and the way some providers handle currency, the total we're paying doesn't match what was quoted, so I'm not sure the management fee is even the right thing to anchor on.

Workmotion came up in a thread on here a few months back, described as being more upfront on the full cost breakdown, with Deel also getting mentioned for DACH specifically, but I haven't gone past what I read there.

So, for those of you running EOR across multiple EU markets, what's the management fee range you're seeing, and is there a percentage where you'd just walk away?

Mon frère a 38 ans. Depuis que notre père a fait un infarctus à 51 ans il veut faire un point complet une fois par an, et comme il est nul avec ce genre de démarches c'est moi qui ai regardé pour lui.

Son médecin traitant lui a fait l'ordonnance de base. NFS, glycémie, cholestérol total, TSH. Quand il a demandé la ferritine et la vitamine D on lui a répondu que c'était pas remboursé sans symptôme et qu'on verrait plus tard. C'est ça qui l'a poussé à chercher ailleurs.

Donc j'ai regardé comment le faire en privé.

En labo classique sans ordonnance, chez Cerballiance près de chez lui, on paye à l'acte. Devis à 62 euros pour NFS, ferritine, vitamine D et bilan lipidique complet. Là tu récupères tes valeurs et c'est tout. La dernière fois il a regardé son PDF pendant 20 minutes sans savoir ce qu'il devait en faire. Et pour ajouter des marqueurs moins standards genre ApoB ou hs-CRP, faut déjà savoir qu'ils existent pour les demander.

Après y a les plateformes qui font l'analyse et l'interprétation derrière. Lucis c'est dans les 490 euros l'année, avec le suivi des valeurs dans le temps et quelqu'un qui reprend les résultats avec toi. Les américains type Function Health sont sur le même créneau mais ils font pas le prélèvement ici, donc pour nous la question se pose même pas.

Et là je bloque, parce qu'en fait c'est pas la même chose qu'on compare. D'un côté t'as les analyses seules, de l'autre t'as les analyses plus quelqu'un qui te dit quoi en faire. Mon frère peut mettre le budget dans les deux, la vraie question c'est de savoir s'il a besoin de la couche d'interprétation ou s'il peut s'en sortir avec le PDF et un rendez-vous chez son médecin.

Pour l'instant je lui ai dit de partir sur le labo classique avec une liste de marqueurs qu'on a faite ensemble, et de revoir la question une fois qu'il aura un premier point de comparaison.

Ceux qui font un suivi régulier depuis plusieurs années, vous êtes restés sur le labo seul ou vous êtes passés sur une plateforme avec le suivi ?

In the middle of evaluating EORs for our first few hires in Germany and the Netherlands, and the deposit question just doesn’t get a straight answer until you push for it because the pricing pages don't mention it and you only get the full picture once you're deeper in the process.

So trying to get a clearer read on what we're signing up for before we commit to any of them.

From what I've gathered, Deel holds one month's gross salary per employee before they'll onboard anyone, which for a team of 10 starts to look like $75k or more sitting locked somewhere doing nothing, and that's a meaningful hit on working capital at our stage.

Wondering if this is just the standard model across EORs or if it varies by provider, since we're also looking at Workmotion and a couple of others and the deposit terms haven't been clear in early conversations with them.

And what I'm most trying to nail down is whether it's a flat amount per employee or scales differently and whether any of it comes back when someone offboards.

So if you've been through this with a few different providers, what did the deposit structure look like once they gave you the full picture?

thank you.

Je sais pas si ça agace que moi mais je trouve ça dingue qu'en 2026, dès qu'on veut faire un peu de prévention, suivre ses analyses, comprendre ses carences, tout renvoie vers des apps et des boîtes américaines. Tu commences à creuser et à chaque fois c'est un truc US, des données de santé qui partent sur des serveurs à l'autre bout du monde, et des prix en dollars qui piquent encore plus avec les histoires de douane en ce moment.

Le pire c'est que chercher un équivalent européen c'est la croix et la bannière. Côté américain t'as dix plateformes qui te sautent dessus dès que tu tapes le sujet, et pour trouver un truc qui garde les données en Europe j'ai galéré, j'ai fini par tomber sur un Lucis un peu par hasard mais c'était pas gagné. Pour les compléments pareil, tu passes ton temps à écarter des grosses marques US avant de tomber sur du français comme Nutrimea. On a laissé tout un secteur se faire bouffer et maintenant on paie le prix fort, au sens propre.

Je suis le seul que ça agace de devoir batailler juste pour pas tout donner aux mêmes boîtes de la Silicon Valley, ou vous avez trouvé des équivalents européens de votre côté ?

Tried to clone my own voice last week because I'm sick of re-recording the same lines. thought it'd be quick. it was not.

Elevenlabs is the one everyone names and yeah, it sounds good, but you just get an audio file. PlayHT was about the same for me. the problem is a voice on its own didn't actually help me, because I figured I needed a finished video, not only a sound clip (I’m lazy af I know).

So I went down a rabbit hole and found AI avatar tools (some example I found: Argil, HeyGen, Synthesia…), since they do the voice and face together and gives you an actual video. catch is it looks AI if you look closely. so honestly I'm stuck between "clean audio but I still have to make the video myself" and "does everything but looks a bit AI" haven't found the one that nails both. what do you recommend? For a bit of context, I do affiliate marketing for SaaS on TikTok/IG.

Been testing these properly over the last couple months because I kept getting asked "which one should I use" and realized I didn't have a real answer myself, just vibes lol. so I actually ran the main ones against each other. writing it up because most comparisons online are useless and somewhat misleading. (hope this post is not violating any tool mentioning rules, if it does please advise me on what to change)

Worth saying up front: "AI video generator" covers about four different product categories, so "best" depends entirely on which job you mean. this is my breakdown of what each is actually for:

Runway / Pika / Luma - scene and motion generators, diffusion-based. built for cinematic clips, b-roll, visual effects, shot generation. they don't do a presenter delivering a script and aren't trying to. people compare these to avatar tools constantly and it's apples to oranges.

Synthesia - enterprise standard for talking-head. internal comms, compliance, training, anything needing consistency across a big org. heavier setup, priced for companies rather than individuals. output is polished but reads corporate.
HeyGen - same category as Synthesia but more flexible. large stock avatar library, strong multi-language. good for volume. you're generally picking or building an avatar, and depending on what you're making you may still take the clip into an editor after.

Argil - clone-based. records 2 min of you once, then outputs finished short-form with captions, b-roll and transitions already applied, so there's no editing step after generation. where it wins is creators and personal brands who want their own face at daily cadence. where it loses: you're locked to your own likeness, and for stock presenters or long-form corporate, Synthesia and HeyGen are straightforwardly better fits.

The honest limitation across all of them: every one of these still reads as AI to an attentive viewer, and none of them fix a generic script. the model is doing delivery, not judgment - feed it filler and you get well-produced filler. that's the actual ceiling right now, not the render quality.

So roughly: for corporate polish go for Synthesia or HeyGen. your own face at volume go for clone-based tools like Argil. For cinematic/b-roll I would lean on Runway or Pika, different job entirely than the other ones.

my question is: what's everyone here using? and what's your workflows? much appreciated !

The problem was never falling asleep for me, it's staying asleep. I drop off fine, then like clockwork I'm wide awake at 3 or 4am, brain running, and I lie there for an hour or two before maybe getting a scrappy bit more before the alarm. Been like this for months and it's grinding me down, and everything aimed at sleep seems to be about getting to sleep, not staying there.

I've been down the supplement route trying to fix the second half of the night. Melatonin got me under but did nothing for the 3am wake-up, magnesium glycinate is the one everyone swears helps you stay down so I've been on a Solgar one, before that a cheap NOW version, both with pretty mixed results, glycine on its own is meant to help sleep quality and I've a bag of that too, and L-theanine takes the edge off the racing thoughts a bit. When I dug through an old sleep thread some replies mentioned a Nutrimea bisglycinate for the dosing, which I keep meaning to try but haven't, so I've no read on whether switching brand even matters here or if magnesium is magnesium.

What moved the needle for staying asleep, magnesium, glycine, something behavioural, or did none of the supplements touch it in the end?

I had a list of nearly 1,000 contacts sitting around from an old campaign, so on a hunch it had gone stale, I pushed the same list through 5 of the popular AI enrichment tools to see how close they'd land…

I was expecting them to mostly line up, but instead they couldn't agree on almost anything.

The emails came back different on more than half of them, the job titles were all over the place, a good chunk of the contacts one tool marked as verified got flagged as invalid by the next, and on a handful they couldn't even agree whether the person still worked there or existed at all.

Which is, ironically, a strange thing to find out about an industry that sells you certainty.

None of them held up on their own though, every provider has its blind spots and stale corners, so the only thing that worked was stacking a few of them and only trusting a contact when the sources agreed, which is the whole idea behind a waterfall.

We happen to use FullEnrich for that part, but any waterfall setup gets you there, the point is just never taking one tool's word for whether someone's real.

And it left me trusting the whole category a little less, because these are the same tools feeding a big chunk of the cold email and CRM data floating around out there.

So if 5 of them can't agree on who's real from one clean list, i don't love what that says about the data everyone else is building their automations on.

My mum has sworn by turmeric for her joints for years, she just stirs the ground spice into everything and swears it keeps her moving, so when my own gut started playing up this year, bloating and general grief after meals, she told me to start taking it and I figured I'd copy her and be done with it.

Turns out it's not that simple. I did the kitchen-cupboard thing for a month, turmeric in everything, and felt nothing, and when I looked into why, apparently the curcumin barely absorbs on its own and you need black pepper or a formulated version for it to do anything, which my mum has been getting by accident because she cooks it with pepper, and i dont tolerate it too. So now I'm staring at proper supplements and the range is mad. There's a Nutrimea one that pairs the extract with piperine and lists the curcuminoid content, a Solgar one that's a step up but says little about how well it absorbs, a Doctor's Best with BioPerine which is piperine added to fix exactly that, a Thorne Meriva that's the fancy well-absorbed phytosome form and priced like it, and a cheap Nature's Bounty turmeric that probably has the same absorption problem I just had, I can't tell if the fancier forms are worth the jump or if I should just keep eating it with pepper like she does.

If you sorted your gut with curcumin or anyway, how did you do that, I need your experiences.

28M is there anyone preferably a female wanna have a convo ? Even if its late
