Hello friends!

I'm a small driver, around 165cm, and I'm looking for a ducati to ride.

I like the 848.

Furthermore, I could buy the used one with my maximum budget of 8000 thousand euros.

That said, there are a few things I would like to address before purchasing:

a) they tell me there are heat problems. Can they be solved?

b) the saddle height is a little high for me, can it be lowered somehow?

c) can you recommend other Ducati motorcycles? (always sporty)

Ciao!

Dopo aver visto numerose imprese di successo nella mia città, e aver visto in prima persona cosa prima non c'era, cosa esiste adesso e cosa funziona, posso dire con certezza alcune cose: gli imprenditori sono le persone che collegano domanda e offerta.

Gli imprenditori non hanno un "mestiere" nel senso tradizionale.

Sono le persone che mettono in contatto chi ha un mestiere, e servizi da offrire (l'offerta), con chi ha bisogno di quei servizi, le persone, (la domanda).

Prendiamo ad esempio l'odontoiatria. Se sei un dentista che lavora per uno studio dentistico, il proprietario probabilmente non sa nulla di denti. Eppure hanno creato l'infrastruttura che collega le persone che necessitano di cure odontoiatriche con i professionisti che hanno le competenze per fornirle.

Detto questo, essere un imprenditore non è la stessa cosa che avere una professione.

Sebbene tu possa essere bravo a identificare i problemi e capire come risolverli, potrebbe anche essere questo uno dei motivi per cui non ti senti mai "sicuro" come si sentono le persone con professioni tradizionali?

Voglio dire, qualcuno con una competenza specializzata, usiamo di nuovo il dentista come esempio, probabilmente si sentirà sicuro perché sa che può sempre scambiare la propria esperienza con uno stipendio/paga. Hanno trascorso dieci anni a studiare per acquisire quella competenza, mentre un imprenditore potrebbe aver impiegato solo un mese per imparare come costruire l’infrastruttura attorno a un’azienda.

Un imprenditore, d'altro canto, può generare idee e darle vita, ma non ha necessariamente una professione a cui appoggiarsi. Quello che sto cercando di dire è che... essere un imprenditore è fantastico quando le cose funzionano, ma fondamentalmente non sei davvero nessuno quando vanno così male e tocchi il fondo.

Mentre qualcuno con un mestiere e un "piccolo" briciolo di capacità imprenditoriali, è molto avanti.

Capisci cosa intendo?

Mi piacerebbe davvero sapere cosa ne pensi di questo.

Hello!

After seeing numerous successful businesses in my city, and seeing firsthand what wasn't there before, what exists now, and what works, I can say a few things with certainty: entrepreneurs are the people who connect supply and demand.

Entrepreneurs don't have a "craft" in the traditional sense.
They are the people who connect those who have a craft, and services to offer (the supply), with those who need those services, people, (the demand).

Take dentistry, for example. If you're a dentist working for a dental practice, the owner probably knows nothing about teeth. Yet they've created the infrastructure that connects people who need dental care with the professionals who have the skills to provide it.

That said, being an entrepreneur isn't the same as having a profession.

While you may be good at identifying problems and figuring out how to solve them, could that also be one of the reasons you never feel as "secure" as people with traditional professions do?

I mean, someone with a specialized skill, let's use the dentist again as an example, will probably feel secure because they know they can always exchange their expertise for a salary/pay. They spent ten years studying to acquire that skill, whereas an entrepreneur may have spent only a month learning how to build the infrastructure around a business.

An entrepreneur, on the other hand, can generate ideas and bring them to life, but they don't necessarily have a profession they can fall back on. What I'm trying to say is... being an entrepreneur it's so cool when things works, but basically, you're really no one when they go so bad, and you hit bottom.

While someone with a craft and a "tiny" bit of entrepreneur skills, it's way ahead.

Do you understand what I mean?

I'd really like to know what you think about this.

I'm looking for a kitchen dashboard, like the Skylight Max, to divide family tasks and plan the day.

I'd like it to be a color e-ink display, even though I can't interact with it, but it should be able to automatically update every hour (if events on Google Calendar change).

I need it to show events for the entire week.

I've seen many designs here, but since I'd like it larger than 15 inches and in color, I was wondering if there were any cost estimates for this.

Ciao a tutti,

negli ultimi anni mi sembra che sempre più persone scelgano formule come leasing, finanziamento o noleggio a lungo termine per guidare auto nuove e cambiarle ogni 3-4 anni.

Capisco i vantaggi: si ha sempre un'auto moderna, più sicura, più efficiente nei consumi, con meno preoccupazioni per la manutenzione e con tutti i comfort più recenti.

Io però ho sempre seguito una filosofia diversa: acquistare auto usate con un budget massimo prefissato.

Dal 2013 utilizzo più o meno sempre lo stesso capitale, circa 5.000€, acquistando un'auto usata e rivendendola dopo 5-6 anni. Finora la svalutazione effettiva è stata generalmente contenuta, nell'ordine di 500-1.000€ per auto.
(Dal 2025 ho alzato questo budget a 8mila euro)

Vi porto il mio ultimo esempio concreto:

• Fiat 500 del 2008 acquistata nel 2020 per 5.000€
• Rivenduta nel 2025 per 4.500€

Quindi il costo legato all'acquisto dell'auto è stato di 500€ in 5 anni.

Escludendo il carburante (media circa 16 km/l), in 5 anni ho sostenuto:

• Bollo: 750€
• Manutenzione ordinaria e straordinaria: 750€
• Assicurazione: 1.900€
• Revisione: 160€

Totale costi accessori: 3.560€.

Se aggiungo anche i 500€ di svalutazione dell'auto, il costo complessivo è stato di circa 4.060€ in 5 anni, pari a circa 68€ al mese, escluso il carburante.

Facendo invece un confronto con un noleggio a lungo termine, ipotizziamo una city car (Fiat Panda, Toyota Aygo) da:

• 4.000€ di anticipo
• 250€ al mese
• durata 36 mesi

L'esborso medio mensile sarebbe:

• 4.000 / 36 = circa 111€ al mese
• Canone mensile = 250€

Totale: circa 360€ al mese.

Anche considerando che nel canone sono inclusi diversi servizi, il divario rispetto ai circa 68€/mese del mio caso rimane molto ampio.

Per questo mi chiedo: quali calcoli fate voi per confrontare l'acquisto di un'auto usata con leasing, finanziamento o noleggio a lungo termine?

Ci sono voci di costo che sto sottovalutando oppure il sovrapprezzo è semplicemente il costo da pagare per avere sempre un'auto nuova e senza pensieri?

Osservare un mio amico, mi ha fatto riflettere profondamente su come costruire una carriera.

All'epoca lavorava in un supermercato, guadagnando uno stipendio fisso che gli permetteva di mantenersi. Non aveva mai avuto particolari ambizioni né un percorso ben definito verso una carriera precisa.
Poi, circa cinque anni dopo, le cose cambiarono.
Conobbe una ragazza il cui padre possedeva uno studio di contabilità e consulenza. Grazie a questa conoscenza, iniziò a dare una mano in ufficio, imparando gradualmente il mestiere, fino a diventare contabile.

Nel giro di pochi anni, riuscì a costruirsi una carriera stabile, con un buon reddito, e a raggiungere una buona stabilità personale e familiare. Ciò che mi colpisce è che non ha mai cercato attivamente una carriera: gli si è presentata attraverso le circostanze.
Mi sembra che alcune persone trovino la propria strada quasi naturalmente o per caso, mentre io cerco da tempo, intenzionalmente,di capire cosa fare, cosa potrebbe davvero diventare una carriera per me.

Ho 29 anni e non sono ancora riuscito a definire un percorso professionale che mi soddisfi appieno. Tuttavia, sono disposto a studiare e impegnarmi per i prossimi 5-7 anni, lavorando nel frattempo, a patto di riuscire a capire quale direzione intraprendere. A volte ho la sensazione di percorrere una strada dritta, senza una chiara indicazione su quale uscita prendere per costruire la mia carriera.
Anzi, le uscite non ci sono, io vado dritto. Proseguo

Vorrei trovare un percorso che mi permetta di crescere, di avere stabilità finanziaria e di sviluppare competenze utili e concrete, qualcosa che possa davvero diventare centrale nella mia vita.

Watching a friend of mine work made me think deeply about how to build a career.

At the time, he was working in a supermarket, earning a steady salary that allowed him to support himself. He'd never had any particular ambition or a clear path toward a defined career.

Then, about five years later, things changed. He met a girl whose father owned an accounting and consulting firm. Thanks to this connection, he started helping out in the office, gradually learning the trade, eventually training as an accountant.

Within a few years, he managed to build a stable career, with a good income, while also finding good personal and family stability.

What strikes me is that he never really actively "searched" for a career: it presented itself to him through circumstances and the people he met, and he knew how to seize it.

I, however, have a different feeling. It seems to me that some people find their path almost naturally or by chance, while I've been trying for a long time to figure out what to do, what could truly become a career for me.

I'm 29 years old and haven't yet managed to define a professional path that feels right for me. However, I'm willing to study and commit myself for the next 5–7 years, working in the meantime, as long as I can figure out which direction to take.

Sometimes I feel like I'm on too straight a path, with no clear direction on which exit to take to build my career.

I'd like to find a path that allows me to grow, have financial stability, and develop useful and concrete skills, something that can truly become central to my professional life.
(And yes, I also want a reputable career like you have respect for a lawyer, officier, phisician, etc..)

Hi! I've been offered the job of condominium administrator.

Our firm currently has 10 years of experience, managing more than 50 condominiums and 3,000 units.

I always see my boss, the main administrator, stressed and arguing with people, but if there's one thing I've noticed, he's confirmed it, it's his ability to take charge of a situation and get things done, as well as his leadership skills.

He told me that in the past, he was shy, sociable, and quiet.

Now he's become the opposite, but what's always surprised me is the way he solves problems: he takes action, plans, and takes action, without hesitation.

I'm shy too, and what bothers me most is my emotional capacity to tolerate it.

However, I'm also very attracted by the need to improve my leadership skills and the fact that it's a type of job you can do and manage from home.

I'd really like to know if it's right for me.

Hello everyone!

Both professionally and in relationships, you could say I've lost everything.

So there are some things I like to do, like eating healthy, working out, spending time with people, going out at night, or in any case, spending time in places that make me feel good for life.

What do I mean?

There's a friend of mine. He has an office job, runs his company from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, then he eats and goes off to manage his children's basketball team, every day, from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

He goes back to his family, they spend some time together, rinse and repeat, except for Saturdays and Sundays when there are games and away games. So, lots of families stay together.

So, unlike someone else, this is really what I'd like to do with my life.

I have a job (something I enjoy that pays my bills and allows me to save a little). I have an activity I'm interested in that involves other people and stabilizes my social group.

This activity also leads to many new connections and to spending time with other families/children.

I'd like to look around and say: OK! I have these options... what can I do?

I just can't see the options right now.

How do you see the options and decide what to do?

Hi there!
This post is for the Condo Managers!!

I'm sure you guys found tools that could improve for real your job, freeing up more time for other tasks.

I'd love to know which are the actual things/software/tools you use that have made your work change significantly?

Hi!

I work for a firm that manages and manages condominiums.

We have about 5,000 units.

I've always wondered if it's a good idea to manage condominiums in the same city where you live and work. So, let's say you live in Manhattan, and you'll take over and manage the Manhattan condominiums.

Is this a bad idea? What are the downsides?

Hello everyone.

I live in Italy.

I tried 0.05% tretinoin. It had incredible effects, but it was definitely too strong with just one application a week.

I'd like to try something much milder, but I can't find anything under 0.05% in Italy.

Could you help me find a milder product (tretinoin)?

Hi there guys!
So actually using a topical it's a bit of a mess.
It is possible to use topical fin, but just every other day, without having to deal with any problem?

I tought that if you use it everyday, like an antidepressant, you don't have any issue, but if you don't take the antidepressant everyday, you will have!

So I was wondering if fin create that issue too

I've been trying to better understand relationship dynamics that people often associate with BPD, and I'd appreciate hearing about others' experiences.

There's a woman I've known since we were both around 15. We're now in our mid-30s. Over the years, our contact has been very intermittent. We can go long periods with little communication, and then she'll suddenly become much more engaged and interested in staying in touch.
My frame is actually a friendship, but not so much she could actually use me as an emotional doormat, but I do think that she keep me as a backup option.

Given this, one period in particular stands out.
After I made some significant positive changes in my life, her behavior toward me shifted noticeably. At the time she was in a LTR and had children with her partner, but for several months she invested a lot of time and attention in me. The interactions often felt emotionally intense and somewhat flirtatious. She was actually seducing me. Then, after the birth of another child, her focus returned almost entirely to her partner and family.

Since then there have been occasional periods where she reconnects and seems interested in re-establishing closeness, followed by distance again. She's also blocked and later unblocked me on social media multiple times.

What I'm trying to understand is whether patterns like these are commonly associated with BPD, or whether they're just examples of general insecurity, validation-seeking, poor boundaries, or dysfunctional relationship habits. Some of the things that make me wonder are:

• Cycles of intense engagement followed by withdrawal.
• Seeking emotional connection outside a primary relationship.
• Maintaining contact with people from the past during periods of relationship instability.
• Push-pull dynamics in friendships or relationships.

I've also heard that there was infidelity in her relationship years ago, and that the breakup and reconciliation were highly emotional, but I only know that secondhand. (Like she was stalking/begging him to take her back after He discovered that)

I'm not asking anyone to diagnose her. I'm more interested in understanding how people who have been involved with a diagnosed or suspected person with BPD learned to distinguish BPD-related patterns from behaviors that can occur in many unhealthy relationships.

What specific patterns made you think, "this is more than ordinary immaturity, insecurity, or poor boundaries"?

For context, I'm not looking to pursue a relationship with her. I'm mainly interested in understanding the behavior and learning how others differentiate possible BPD-related dynamics from more general relationship issues.

Ciao a tutti!

Dopo diverse esperienze nel mondo corporate, ho capito una cosa semplice: non sono una persona che riesce a lavorare bene sotto dinamiche di controllo e manipolazione, soprattutto quando questo impatta la mia vita personale.

Nel lavoro ho bisogno di sentirmi "utile e richiesto", ma anche "autonomo". So come portare a termine i miei compiti e rendo al meglio quando posso gestirmi con responsabilità. Questo probabilmente mi identifica come una figura operativa, quella che spesso viene chiamata “manovalanza” dai manager.

Per questo motivo, sto cercando una nicchia professionale che mi permetta di essere assunto da una o più aziende che abbiano bisogno delle mie competenze e mantenere margine per lavorare anche in autonomia (magari aprendo partita IVA in futuro)

Ho una buona capacità di capire dove c’è domanda e offerta, ma non dispongo di capitali per avviare attività strutturate. Posso però investire tempo, impegno e formazione.

Vivo in una città con un porto molto attivo e un aeroporto commerciale/turistico importante.

Al solo pensiero, mi vengono in mente percorsi come elettricista navale o carpentiere nei cantieri o tecnico manutentore aeroportuale.. (sono solo esempi)..

Imparo velocemente, ho molta voglia di fare e faccio fatica a stare fermo dietro una scrivania, soprattutto in contesti poco meritocratici e manipolatori... e ho sempre voglia di imparare cose nuove.

Il mio obiettivo non è necessariamente “la carriera della vita”, ma costruirmi un mestiere solido, richiesto e che mi permetta di essere indipendente anche in tempi difficili (un po’ come un idraulico, per intenderci).

Secondo voi, su quale ambito dovrei puntare?
