Oh and WOMEN TOO!!!
Lifting has the SAME benefits to women
And no you won't start looking like a guy
Instead your boobs will get bigger from chest exercises and your ass from glute exercises

I've been annoyingly saying this on X for years and people never believe it
Most people are still fat or cardioholics and only run or play padel
You have to lift weights, it improves your nervous system, it stops or reverts guaranteed (!) muscle atrophy and bone density loss after age 30 meaning you will AGE LESS FAST and age more healthily
Which is why I, as a not really athletic person (was just skinny 50kg/100lbs) started lifting around that age
Now I try lift 4x per week, I'm not skinny anymore, close to 80kg/160lbs, so I gained 30kg/60lbs (almost doubled in mass, so there's 1.6x Pieter's now!), much more muscle and 15% fat (now I wanna try get that to I don't know 12%?)
And the biggest benefits are mental: I'm not anxious anymore, not depressed, not neurotic, just mostly chill and zen
When I stop going to the gym for a week or two they come back fast though!
I'm not a ripped super chad, and you don't really become that so easily but I am very fit and healthy now and can carry lots of stuff
And everyone I meet thinks I'm in my 20s, so the anti-aging part worked
Start lifting (and cardio too of course you need both)
Future you will THANK you as I thank Pieter from ~8 years ago 🤝

🇨🇳 We barely see any tourists at all
The tourists in our hotel are domestic or international Chinese
The rest is 🇷🇺 Russians
Everywhere I look actually is Russians
Even Beijing's new airport at some points has signs in Chinese, English....and Russian!
I didn't expect this
Apparently Russians are blocked from traveling to most places so they come to China a lot
And they do a lot of business now
The Chinese we talked to say the Russian businesses for Russians in China are complaining that the Russians are spending less and the money is drying up though which is an interesting anecdotal point

🇨🇳 Okay got Alipay to work
Alipay is nice because it acts as a proxy to use other apps like Didi, and Didi won't let me sign up directly, so via Alipay it auto logs you in (kinda like OAuth)
Also Meituan app lets me order food from anywhere and apparently it can arrive via a delivery robot
Other handy app is Baidu Translate
The challenge here is that every Western app like Google Translate, ChatGPT, Google Maps, ChatGPT etc doesn't work at all or doesn't work most of the times, so you kinda have to use the Chinese apps, like DeepSeek
Of all my eSIMs my Revolut Global seems to work best, it lets me SOMEHOW open most Western sites fast with no firewall, while Airalo is extremely spotty switches to E (Edge) all the time, I also tried Airalo Hong Kong thinking I could use the Great Firewall hack but that didn't work
Whatever @revolut Global eSIM is doing it works amazing in China
Yesterday in the subway none of our eSIMs worked though, like we had reception but both of our phones didn't get internet to work. Also nobody spoke any English (which I understand, we're in China) and nobody can read English either
So essentially we were illiterate (can't read anything), with no internet, nobody to help us. We tried getting a taxi but they wouldn't take us either because we couldn't communicate
Again 99.9% of Chinese don't speak a single word of English, even in 2025, which is OK, it just makes things harder
Calling the hotel with my Dutch phone SIM for €5/min ended up being the solution because they could talk to the taxi drivers
So yes everything kinda works now!
What I see with these travel blogs btw if I write it's difficult I get a lot of replies like "lol fucking n00b!"
Which is easy to say but again it's not so easy here
But that's also the fun part of China, especially after COVID tourism here from the West appears to have dropped rapidly and Western-Chinese relations have deteriorated rapidly after realizing what a threat China can be in its fast technological development etc.
That makes it more interesting as a traveler though because you're the only foreigner almost everywhere
I will keep you blogging what I experience next

I'm unable to convince normies that AI detectors don't work and probably will never ever work because of basics of AI which I think is
More advanced models might be able detect AI in inferior models (like GPT-5 reading GPT-3 output)
But an advanced model can't detect AI in output of an equally advanced model I think
It doesn't matter though, normies want AI detectors to exist and work so they do, to them

✨ I've cut [⚡️Hyper Realism ] cost per photo from 5 credits to 1 credits, so 80% cheaper on Photo AI
I was scared because Hyper Realism is much more expensive to run
But because the pics are much better than Flux, people are generating less photos now (because less time to the photo they want to take)
So the GPU bill is quite low now at only ~$13,000/mo
The diversity of the model is great you can do analog photos, or studio fashion shoots, depending on what you want
The 2nd pic is an actual Adidas shoot they did with AI that I remixed, nice

Weirdly often with a name like Jacopf Hermann Bildenfeld-Kreuzberg-Schwanenfeld the 7th and then you Wikipedia and it's some royal family from 1600 with again no single actual skill in life

Dutch cuisine is:
- a slice of bread with cheese and/or ham for breakfast with milk, then again same for lunch, coffee
- hot food for dinner, like smoked sausage that's boiled with kale and mashed potatoes and gravy
- lots of deep fried snacks like bitterballen (ball-shaped croquettes), kroketten (literally just croquettes), frikandel (a minced meat sausage), lots of fries
- kibbeling (deep fried fish, essentially British fish and chips without the chips)
- lots of biscuit like snacks like stroopwafel (caramel waffle), speculaas (cinnamon biscuits), lots of snacking actually
It's nice but quite limited, realistically my generation of Dutch people was kinda sick of it I think and just started cooking international food like pasta, noodles, chicken curry etc. and just healthier food
But my parents still eat like this

Here's the folder which is packaged after:

Also got the dosbox.conf in there to analyze
I thought it was the 64MB RAM that was too much for EM-DOSBox so I set it to 16MB (you can check with MEM in DOS)

What's crazy about this is:
I have a close friend in Europe who got megarekt by this "tax stock options on exercise" and who literally paid millions on tax exercising his
Then the stock crashed and became worthless
And so he literally lost millions for working for a startup, he never got the tax back (they can't!)
I hope more EU countries will now follow the Netherlands to tax stock options when sold and not when exercised

🇪🇺 More great news from Europe 😊
Gradually, then suddenly. Nothing changed for 2 years and now a lot of things are finally changing:
The Netherlands is changing its stock options tax to be modeled after the American system, which is the default in startups
(!) Stock options will now be taxed when sold, not when exercised (!)
This was #7 most voted idea on https://t.co/NdorAWrhrB to save Europe and now it's happening!
Right now in most of Europe, stock options are taxed when exercised
This creates very problematic situations: imagine you have stock options for a startup you worked for. Many/most startups have a clause that says "you must exercise your vested options within 90 days after leaving, or you lose them". So you exercise them, which in Europe means paying tax on their value immediately, that's regardless if you actually made money on them!
So you could exercise your stock options when the price is $100, and let's say you have 10,000 stocks, so that's 10,000 * $100 = $1,000,000 in value at the time of exercising. Let's say you pay 50% tax on that, so you pay $500,000 in tax
Where do you get that $500,000 from in the first place? Remember you now exercised your stock option but you haven't sold it yet. So you're still a broke startup guy. Often you'd loan the money from the bank.
And then you could just sell the stock immediately right? No wait...you can only sell your stock that you just exercised during a liquidity event. That means when the company is acquired, or IPOs, or a secondary sale happens (you can sell your stock to other investors)
So that means the wait can be forever, while you already paid tax on your options, now you pay back that $500,000 loan over many years
But startups are risky, we know that. What if the stock price crashes from $100 to $10? Doesn't matter. You already paid $500,000 on the exercised stock. But now you only make 10,000 * $10 = $100,000 instead of $1,000,000!
So now you got a $500,000 loan, paid $500,000 in tax with that loan, only made back $100,000, and now have to pay back this loan with what money? Exactly. You can't and you lost at least $400,000! And that's without the interest of the loan!
You just lost a lot of money by being European and working for a startup!
Crazy right? But that's the reality in most of the EU (including Germany, Spain, etc).
With the new Netherlands law, that finally changes. And that makes working for European startups much more attractive for the top-tier talent. Because startups in the beginning are lean and can't pay a high salary but they can pay in stock in their company easily.
The Netherlands also reduces the tax rate of stock options to something more similar to the US: from 49.5% to 32.17%
The new ruling only applies to employees at a startup or scale-up
The amendment to the Netherlands Income Tax Act is expected to come into effect on January 1, 2027 (in ~1 year)

Sergey Brin is still % owner of Google (or Alphabet) together with Larry Page
But more importantly together they own 87.4% of all Class-B voting shares which give them 51.4% total voting power
Imagine being a dev or product creator with Sergey by your side, whenever Google's bureaucracy (which they have a lot of) tries to get you stuck, you just message Sergey and he gives the go-ahead
You essentially have a free pass to make anything, ship anything and launch anything without much constraints
That makes Google operate like a small startup again and that's why they're winning again I think

A guy I knew on here tried this
Then he said his hair got really bad
But he's the same guy that proudly said
"A McDonald's meal is mostly protein"
"I don't eat fruit or vegetables, I don't like the taste"
"I eat candy instead of fruit"

Same
My best hair is no shampoo and only occassionally soap
The natural oils return after a few months and if your diet is healthy your hair will get natural volume and shine
Your hair will also respond to the local water, in Bali I'd get hair like deep fried noodles from the salt I think while in Portugal where the water is more hard my hair is more flat

This is fine btw, Japan doesn't really have a choice and seems to make the right choices culturally
I still think Europe should just imported Filipinos and Nepali
Filipinos are 92% Christian, so highly aligned with Europe
Nepali are 89% Hindu or Buddhist, both very aligned with Europe too (Jesus may have been a Buddhist, and the religions are similarly chill)
Extension of that also import Thai and other Buddhist or Hindu cultures

I went traveling November 6 from Europe to Asia
As @bryan_johnson said it'd take about 15 days to recover from the time zone differences
Sleep was rekt for 2 weeks but now finally good again
The crazy thing is you don't really notice how bad it is unless you track it
I'm not obsessed with tracking, I always been kinda against tracking and the benefits of travel in experiences outweigh the negatives I think
All I have to think about is the touring musicians and especially DJs who fly around the world every few days, which at decades ago seemed like my dream but now sounds like a nightmare for your health
I have to think about Avicii who killed himself and his grueling tour schedule and how it played a part in mentally destroying him
As digital nomads we'd stay in places for months at time (usually as long as the visas would allow us) because the constant timezone hopping was too destructive
So anyway now the data shows that too

Today I wanted to brush my teeth and I was out of toothpaste
So I tried to find the hotel's toothpaste
Then I discovered my hotel has replaced their regular toothpaste with toothpaste paper for 🍃 Eco reasons
These are thin slices of paper that in your mouth turn into a tiny amount of tooth paste
Of course it doesn't really work at all 😂
But very sustainable! #eco

🇪🇺 Something is finally happening!
EU is:
- scaling down the GDPR (data privacy laws)
- watering down the AI Act (more like AI Ban), and
- finally removing the Cookie Banner laws
This gets us a bit closer to the top eu/acc ideas being reached

My great grandparents generation would dig peat from the ground in the Netherlands
They used it as a fuel for stoves, oil lamps and to make fire to stay warm
Digging peat (kinda like clay) was a grueling and dirty job, and they'd stand with their feet in a cold wet swamp for 14 hours per day
They were dirt poor
Their kids then got more regular jobs, like my grandma would manually connect the telephone switchboard in Amsterdam but still low paid and poor
Then some of their kids (my parents) could go to university and study law or medicine, that was the first generation that was middle class
Then my generation benefited from all those generations working hard, be able to do comfy office or online jobs, and personally I still like to work hard too so I continue what the generations before me built up
This generation (in many parts of the Wsst at least) is where the cycle now seems to end and reverse, where many people don't want (or need) to work anymore and see work as torture and expect the government to pay for their life instead
Ironically this is exactly why the next generations may go back to being peat diggers again

I realize best way to reply when people throw ad hominems at you
Is to just ignore the insults fully and try to reply with arguments
Because otherwise it just turns into a fight and none of you learn anything from the interaction
