I keep seeing AI experts say that electricians, plumbers, construction workers, gardeners, etc. will be some of the safest and best-paid jobs in an AI-driven future.

But isn't there a pretty obvious supply/demand problem here?

If AI replaces a huge percentage of today's jobs, millions of people could move into these "AI-proof" trades.

Today, maybe there aren't enough electricians. But if suddenly 10x more people want to become electricians because everyone says it's the safe career, wouldn't wages eventually fall?

This makes me think the more valuable jobs might actually be above AI rather than outside it, people who build, program, manage and supervise AI and robots, especially in situations where humans still need to be accountable.

We've already had an industrial revolution. Machines didn't just replace workers; they changed which skills were valuable.

So are we making the same mistake by assuming that "AI can't physically do this job" automatically means "this job will be highly paid"?

Curious what you guys think.

Hi, I'm looking for a Quad Lock mount compatible with my 2025 Yamaha R3.

I'd like my phone to be centrally mounted on the bike, so I looked for a fork mount, but I saw that an adapter was needed since the Yamaha has a closed nut.

I'd like to avoid touching the bike, so I'm asking about other options for mounting the phone centrally on the handlebars.

What other Quad Lock options are there?

Hi!
Does my BigMe Color HiBreak Pro have a stylus for taking notes?

If so, is there a built-in cover that allows the pen to be hidden inside?

Also, Is there a shortcut that will automatically unlock the phone, when standby, and I have the pen in my hand and touch the screen to create a note, without having to unlock?

We are attracted to the smells of some people (it is said that the more different it is, the more we are attracted) science says so.

That said, each of us uses a fragrance.

Do fragrances help or work against the process of amplifying your original smell and making it more "smellable" by people predisposed to liking it?

Should we stop wearing fragrances?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 28M, and I’m looking for advice about a situation at work that has started making me concerned about my personal safety.

I want to be very clear about something before explaining the situation: I’m going to separate what I personally know or have witnessed from what I’ve been told and from what I’m speculating about. I don't want to exaggerate the situation or accuse someone of something without evidence.

What I know / have personally experienced

When I was 18, I met a girl who was taking the same driving course as me. She had a crush on me, although I didn't realize it at the time.

When I was 25, I started working at the same Big Four company where she works, along with her boyfriend.

After we reconnected, she started showing interest in me again. This time I recognized it and made it clear that I wasn't interested and wanted to maintain appropriate boundaries, since she had a BF yet. Her boyfriend is a manager in one of the departments.

From my own experience at work, I've found him to be very aggressive and controlling. He frequently talks badly about other employees, and I've seen people become extremely stressed while working under him. Some employees have eventually left.

I believe he has become hostile toward me, and I have reasons to think that my interactions with his girlfriend are part of the reason.

What I have been told

There is also a previous situation involving another male employee and one of his girlfriends.

I was told that he had spoken to friends about having this employee "found" and making him "disappear." I was also told that the intention was to pay someone to seriously harm or kill him. I did not personally witness these conversations. I don't know exactly what was said, who said it, or whether the story I heard is completely accurate.

Eventually, that employee left the country for job reasons. I believe he moved to Brazil, although I don't know the exact circumstances.

What I'm worried about / speculation

Knowing what I've heard about the previous situation, combined with the hostility I've experienced from him, has made me worry about what could happen in the future.

I've started wondering whether he could wait until I leave the company or until we no longer have any professional contact, and then potentially have someone threaten or attack me in a way that would be difficult to connect back to him.

I have no evidence that this is actually his plan. This is a fear I'm having based on the information available to me.

I realize that this could sound paranoid, and that's precisely why I'm looking for outside advice rather than assuming that my interpretation is correct.

At the same time, I don't want to dismiss a potentially serious situation simply because I don't currently have proof of a specific threat.

What I'm trying to figure out

I still work at the same company, so I need to be careful about how I handle this.

I'm Danish and have always wanted to continue living in my home town. I could potentially move somewhere else within the region, but the fact that I'm now concerned about my personal safety is affecting my quality of life.

What would you do in my position?

I was offered a night shift that pays very well, let's say three times what a regular job would.

You work from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM doing organizational work, and then the real shift starts from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM. It's very physical work.

I'm home at 6:00 AM, shower, have breakfast, and go to sleep. I wake up at 2:00 PM, so I have two hours free to do something.

I work four nights a week. They're usually all back-to-back.

What do you think?

I was thinking there might be a problem with the fact that during the three days I don't work, I might have trouble sleeping, due to the fact that I'd like to go back to sleep at 11:00 PM and wake up at 9:00 AM.

Has this ever happened to you?

Imagine a woman is in a relationship with a man, but they have different expectations about the future. For example, she may want marriage or children, while he seems hesitant or unwilling to commit to those things.
(Those are just some example of many things that make couples incompatible).

In some cases, she may have other men around her who might be interested in her. She might start flirting with one of them, giving him attention, or making it seem as though she is genuinely interested in pursuing something with him.

So: How can the other man tell what is actually going on?

How do you distinguish between:

1. A woman who is genuinely attracted to you and may actually want a relationship with you (even though she is currently in a relationship); and
2. A woman who is primarily using your attention to make her boyfriend jealous, create a sense of competition, or pressure him into giving her what she wants?

For men who have experienced this firsthand: what specific behaviors, signals, or patterns made you realize that she was genuinely interested in you versus simply using you as leverage in her existing relationship?

I’m particularly interested in real-life experiences rather than general theories. I’ve personally experienced situations where a woman who was already in a serious relationship, including one woman who was living with a man and had two children.

Looking back, I’m trying to understand how I could have distinguished genuine interest from being used as an “orbiter” or jealousy tactic.
For example I know the term "see what she does, and don't listen at what she said" and even with that in mind, its happened to be so difficult to understand.

Some people never clean their motorcycle chain.

Hi!

Some say that a motorcycle chain should be degreased and greased every 1,000 km, a thorough cleaning.

Then, every 500 km, it just needs to be greased.

Some, however, say that there's never any need to do this; you can simply leave it as is, or even just clean it once every 5,000 km, because the important thing is to grease it every 1,000 km.

Where's the truth?

How did today's pro golfers become so?

If you were an amateur golfer, and you wanted to become a pro, what would the roadmap be today, and how many years could you get there?

Hi everyone,

I currently work for a company made up of professionals. All of these professionals use the same software, and my role focuses on a specific area of that software. I essentially perform one particular specialized function.

I've been thinking: instead of providing this service exclusively to the company I currently work for, could I offer the same specialized service to professionals across the country who use the same software?

This would potentially allow me to work remotely with many more clients and increase my income while continuing to do essentially the same type of work I already do today.

How would you approach this?

For those of you who have done something similar, turning a specialized skill within a particular software ecosystem into an independent consulting or remote service business, what have you learned from the experience?

• How did you find your first clients?
• How did you position and market your expertise?
• Did you encounter any legal or contractual issues with your current employer?
• What would you do differently if you were starting again today?
• What are the biggest mistakes to avoid?

I would really appreciate hearing from people who have successfully made this transition.

Thanks in advance!

Ciao amici!

Secondo voi, quali sono i modi in cui una relazione può durare tutta la vita?

1) Relazione sana: entrambi i partner si rispettano, si amano e, semplicemente, scelgono di restare insieme per tutta la vita.

2) Relazione tossica: litigi ogni due o tre giorni, seguiti da riconciliazioni. La coppia si «distrugge» e poi si «ricostruisce», convincendosi che ogni crisi la renda più forte.

Per la 2: Entrambi magari vanno dallo psicologo per affrontare attacchi di panico o altri problemi, e le cose sembrano migliorare. Senza però considerare minimamente che, forse, alcuni di quei problemi sono anche una conseguenza del continuo stress generato dalla loro relazione tossica.

La relazione rimane così sempre «fresca», intensa e apparentemente molto passionale.

Esempi mediatici? Olivieri/Massella, Campello/Morata.

Parliamo spesso di coppie in cui l'uomo è fondamentalmente un bravo ragazzo che si è lasciato conquistare dall'idea di avere un'unica donna nella propria vita, sviluppando una sorta di oneitis. Poi arrivano i figli, i progetti, gli anni trascorsi insieme e subentra anche la sunk cost fallacy: «Abbiamo investito troppo per lasciarci».

Sapete come funziona? Cosa tiene attaccate le persone in un ciclo tossico? La dipendenza da questo tipo di emozioni.
Dopo ogni riconciliazione, fanno anche ottimo sesso. E questo contribuisce a rafforzare ulteriormente il ciclo.

Prendiamo in considerazione esempi mediatici semplicemente perché non posso mostrarvi come prova le relazioni di Giulietta e Romeo del paesello sperduto o della cerchia dei miei amici. Queste coppie, invece, sono sotto i riflettori e quindi le conosciamo tutti.

Quindi torniamo a noi.

Se sei un uomo e cerchi una relazione del primo tipo, molto dipende da te. Se sei rispettoso, ma sai anche farti rispettare, difficilmente sarai compatibile con donne che, invece, funzionano meglio all'interno di dinamiche relazionali del secondo tipo.

Potresti comunque risultare seducente e attraente per loro, ma probabilmente, alla lunga, ti vedrebbero come troppo duro, freddo o distaccato. Semplicemente perché non alimenti il dramma. Perchè non abbocchi alle loro esche, alla loro intenzione di aizzarti, e quindi, loro capiscono che non possono manipolarti.

Al contrario, se cerchi una relazione di tipo 1 ma non sai farti rispettare, sei troppo accondiscendente e lasci continuamente passare comportamenti che ti feriscono, rischi di ritrovarti proprio in una relazione del secondo tipo.

Saresti l'ingrediente perfetto per il minestrone di una persona costantemente drammatica e manipolatoria. E se vedono che possono "modellarti" a loro piacimento, allora fuori sarà tutto "perfetto", ma dentro la relazione ti senti che c'è qualcosa che è sbagliato.

Detto questo, non dovremmo credere soltanto alle parole, agli eventi o nemmeno ai risultati apparenti (che le persone al giorno d'oggi mostrano tramite i social media).

Una coppia può fare figli, comprare casa, viaggiare, costruire progetti insieme e restare unita per decenni. Ma tutto questo, da solo, non significa necessariamente che quella relazione sia un successo.

Una relazione è davvero di successo quando esiste rispetto reciproco.
Non quando il dramma è costante, quando sembra esserci sempre qualcosa che non va, quando una relazione ti costringe continuamente a scappare e poi a tornare indietro, o quando si deve "ricostruire" per essere piu forte, e quindi dà l'illusione di crescere.

Perché potresti anche ottenere tutti i «risultati» che la vita considera importanti, figli, casa, progetti e anni insieme, ma ritrovarti comunque senza la cosa più importante: il rispetto reciproco.

E se una donna è cresciuta, come la maggior parte delle italiane, vedendo la madre, la nonna, la zia, "punzecchiare", "rompere le scatole" con i loro maritelli, cosa penseresti che farà al suo uomo?

ps: so che è difficile ragazzi, ma è ancora possibile trovare una donna che sia cresciuta in dinamiche famigliari piu rispettose.

This question has been asked many times, but what is the current situation?

Basically, a personal trainer has a "physical" business, a "material" one, and physical clients.

How can you scale a personal training business?

a) Do you necessarily need to be famous?

b) Do you necessarily need to create online content that makes you famous?

c) Do you necessarily need to have a social media account or a TikTok or YouTube account that makes you famous?

What are the options if we've already developed a group of 50-100 people we train in our city, and we're already making a good monthly income, but we still want to expand because we feel like we're suffering from "artist's block" and have reached our limits?

I have always seen being a personal trainer as another activity.

You can simply find other worlds in which to do business within your interests, for example the world of supplements fascinates me a lot, but that's another story, see? You have to have capital for that.

Instead, we want to understand how we, as individuals, can expand this business to include products.

We need to create products starting from ourselves.

I have a Fitbit, but I still can't figure out how to use it fully.

That said, spending €100 on a "generic" sleep tracker isn't worth it.

Is there something similar I can get for €20 or €30?

I lived in Zurich for two years, but coming from Rome, Italy, the only thing I missed about that place was the sun.

I was wondering, what are the three places in Switzerland with the most sunshine, clear skies, beautiful weather, and no clouds, that are also good places to live? (So, we're excluding open countryside or very small towns.)

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a set of a few pans, all-clad, stainless steel-coated, but with a removable handle.

I'm buying from Italy and found https://www.lagostina.it/prodotti/accademia-lagofusion-padella/8910000141?selected_variant_id=cmvztrkt27qn7oe46qcj96ki

The problem is that they're certainly excellent quality, but the fact that the handle is fixed is a space issue.

I also found

https://www.lagostina.it/prodotti/ingenio-inox-set-padelle-acciaio-manico-rimovibile-induzione-e-gas/2100144838

and

https://www.amazon.it/Lagostina-Ingenio-Padella-Antiaderente-Pezzi/dp/B0GZVQH3G7/

and

https://www.amazon.it/Lagostina-Ingenio-Pentole-Induzione-Inossidabile/dp/B09HQVYWGF/

I just can't tell the difference, and whether they're good pans.

Could you recommend the best quality pans with removable handles that I can get in Italy?

I cook for myself, and I'm single, but I'd like to buy some quality pans for induction (2 or 3).

I'm also looking for a steamer.

Ciao a tutti, scrivo per chiedere un consiglio e soprattutto per capire meglio alcuni meccanismi contabili/fiscali che non mi sono chiarissimi. Per ovvie ragioni cercherò di rimanere sul generico.

Ho il sospetto che l'azienda per cui lavoro possa effettuare operazioni non del tutto trasparenti, forse attraverso fatture per operazioni inesistenti o comunque tramite un giro di fornitori. Non ho prove e non voglio fare accuse: vorrei solo capire quali segnali concreti dovrei osservare e come leggere correttamente certe movimentazioni.

Per semplificare, immaginate questo schema: azienda A fattura 100k, e decide poi di sostenere 50k di costi per acquisto di beni o servizi. Questi 50k non vengono pagati a un unico fornitore, ma divisi tra 5 fornitori diversi. Ogni fornitore emette una fattura da 10k e riceve quindi il relativo bonifico.

La parte iniziale è semplice ma quello che non riesco a capire, o che loro son otroppo bravi a fare, è cosa potrebbe succedere dopo**,** qualora le prestazioni o i beni fatturati fossero fittizzi

Se l'obiettivo dell'azienda A fosse far rientrare, direttamente o indirettamente, parte del denaro nella disponibilità, quali tracce contabili o patrimoniali potrebbero normalmente emergere? Ad esempio, eventuali pagamenti di spese personali, acquisti di beni non coerenti con l'attività, rapporti anomali tra società, compensazioni, finanziamenti o altri flussi economicamente collegati, il tutto magari con carte di credito intestate ad altri?

In pratica, vorrei capire: come si può distinguere una normale catena di fornitori da una situazione potenzialmente sospetta? Quali elementi dovrebbero far approfondire la questione, considerando che magari chi osserva dall'interno vede solo una parte della contabilità e dei movimenti?

Hi there!

I'll be cooking simple foods. I mainly use pans for cooking chicken breasts, eggs, egg whites, red meat, salmon, and white fish.
I would also do pancakes, or diy some gluten-free bread.
I do not eat pasta, so I have a separate rice cooker to cook my rice.

All my cooking is usually done with water and a lid, inffact, I don't eat anything spicy, pan-fried, or anything else. I season all my food raw with salt and oil. That's it.

As for vegetables, I'm looking for a pan I can steam.
Carrots, lettuce, cabbage, kale, broccoli, spinach, chard, etc.

As you can see, now you know what foods I eat and how I'd like to cook them. :)

I have a two-burner induction hob, so I'm thinking of buying a set of pans WITHOUT handles, precisely because they're more practical and I can store them neatly and clean them better. Could you recommend the best ones, quality-price, to buy?

Stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, I don't know which material would best suit me :)

Also, given that we're chosing the pans, please feel free to add any advice about pancakes pans additional tools (like something you add to an existing pan to give them shape)

ps: I do buy from Italy!

Hi friends. I invest from Europe, specifically Italy.

A friend recommended xeq8, which is supposed to be very similar to the American vasgx.

That said, I would have liked to invest in vwce, but I also understand it's much riskier, and he told me about something called "annual rebalancing." Basically, investing in a multi-asset fund that automatically rebalances would exempt me from capital gains tax (26% in Italy).

What do you think?

I'm 30 years old.
