All debt? Does that include companies too?

They’ve borrowed at least billions to grow their businesses, and that sort of money won’t just disappear without a trace. In this case, the trace would probably include economic instability of some sort. There’s a reason why central banks use interest rate to influence borrowing and inflation.

I would go back to the time when I got my first computer and write myself a long message from the future. It would contain things like:

• Make several backups of this list and review it every year.
• Watch out. Some people are really toxic. (list of people to avoid)
• Know yourself, and act accordingly. (list of traits I have, but haven’t realized or fully understood at the time)
• Be careful. (list of minor accidents that could potentially happen in the future)
• Be mindful of important decisions. (List of some big decisions that turned out to be good, bad, great, awful etc.)
• You can do it 👍 (encouraging words)

The universe feels like a pretty whimsical place, so why not? Might as well try it out. If it sucks, you can always let everything crash into a singularity and start over.

The arrowhead sounds more viable. The oldest ones can be thousands of years old, and the prices are all over the place. Fancy ones cost a fortune, while a badly beaten one will be well within the budget.

That would have been handy when playing pokemon go.

Here’s one way you could have used it. You drive your car to a remote location. You grab your rifle and your dog, and go hunting. You mark the location of your car on the GPS and start walking. In the evening, you can use the GPS to find your way back to the car. You could also go hiking and use the GPS to find your way back.

The whole point is to mark locations and later find your way back those locations. In the era of geocaching you would have made a custom point of interest and input the coordinates manually before actually visiting the location.

This device actually shows you lots of information you rarely need these days: direction, speed, distance, coordinates, signal strength, just to name a few.

Oh, and some backpacks have a hole for headphones. I guess you’re supposed to keep a CD player in there or something.

A coat with a phone pocket. If you have something shaped like a Nokia 3210, you can actually use that pocket. Modern phones are the exact wrong shape to fit in there.

A Minidisc player. First, music went to mp3 players and then it went completely online. Fortunately I sold that thing while it still had some value.

A battery powered GPS device. It’s just for navigating in the forest, and nothing else. It doesn’t even have a map, so it’s pretty useless while driving.

Loosing weight starts at the supermarket.

If you decide to buy sugary delicacies, you’ll have to resist the temptation at home, which you’ll inevitably fail. Just skip that boss fight entirely by not buying tempting things in the first place. Ok, maybe once a week, but certainly not every other day. You just need to resist the temptation for a few minutes at the store. Once you’re at home, you have no option but to eat normal food, because unhealthy food simply isn’t available.

Could also be NA.

Well, not quite personally though. Does it count that I’ve seen news articles about it?
