SSAB - October 29, 2025

Busy day, lots done! But… nothing to show for it? Russian and Chinese reading done, no livestreams as I ran out of time… okay, I didn’t commit. Spent the morning working on the Language Vlog Book. Got the rough draft assembled, now to begin re-reading and re-writing. Spent the afternoon working on a script and shooting the video for our upcoming 聊斋志异 video for the language vlog. Then… cleaning up photos and files! What fun! Apple releasing new stuff! Anything good? 10% uppers seems to work! -cannot reverse trade on same day -tax bill for stock profits which means how do you get your money out of the country if you can’t prove you paid tax on it.
