  Europe has no visible NIMBY movement because its NIMBYs already won: nobody proposes suburban densification, so nobody has to fight it.

  Europe

  Their words

  I suspect the same is often true in the rest of Europe: NIMBYism is the ultimate reason why the French and German states don’t solve their housing shortages through unbanning densification, but since the claims of the NIMBYs have been preemptively conceded by everyone, NIMBYism has basically remained latent.

  Lovevery Kits are just the ultimate. We have this play gym (as does everybody?!) which works with the Montessori toys they make. They have kits for different age groups from newborn through 51 months (I cannot even begin to calculate how old that is) and they have taught me so much about baby development!

  In my approach, I resist using any external value framework as an ultimate set of criteria against which to measure games’ worth - not purpose, not pleasure, not politics.

  A drop in agency is the earliest sign of burnout, arriving before you consciously notice you are burning out.

  Their words

  Burnout is the ultimate agency-killer. This is so true that I’ve learned to identify a reduction in agency as one of the first signs of burnout, one that shows up even before I consciously realize what’s happening.

  The Ultimate Sales Machine

  Their words

  When Brian Balfour wrote, "I have never ear marked a book so much in my life. My recommendation is to just get it," I knew I had to check this out. I need to put more of the ideas into action (at which point the rating may rise), but it feels like this book is a playbook for building a monster sales machine and frankly, an amazing company all around. I wrote all over this book and filled the front and back covers with ideas from it.
