You're starting to sound like an agent yourself.


BTW It's a 2019 Dell Inspiron with ~2.8 GHz processor speed and 24 GB memory. It's pretty slow by today's standards. Does your recommendation still hold?


That's a very capable machine. It doesn't really matter if it's slow by today's standards. It's fine, particularly if it's not running Windows. I recently bought a couple of machines that were older and less capable than that, but were plenty good enough for what I wanted them for.

Just because a machine isn't up to the latest specs doesn't mean it's not good, or that there isn't a market for it.


Put linux mint on it. You’ll be amazed how well it runs.




Fantastic work. Flying the Kenyan flag high!


This is pretty unique and amazing. How are you marketing this all the way to $500/mo.?


Thank you. I'm not doing any marketing at all. In fact I noticed about a third of the traffic comes from ChatGPT of all places. I guess that's just from the SEO. But users keep trying it out, maybe because it's really simple to start. Just call the number.


Wow, this is awesome. How did you market this? 100,000 users is a lot.


Given how high risk this whole donor thing is, I’m surprised there is very little regulation around this process.

For one, It’s truly bizzare that they don’t regulate the number of kids from a single donor. I also assumed they would have some rigorous screening of genetic disorders such as this one before freely distributing sperm for insemination.

The donor in TFA is Danish, and Denmark has a 12 child limit on donations, but apparently exports don’t count.

It was not detected in the genetic screening they did.

It was also 2005.


One benefit of blogs that isn't mentioned enough is the opportunity to express unorthodox ideas, and the chance to defend them to form a good thesis.

Diversity of thought is pretty valuable. So is training yourself to think independently, come up with your own premises and learning to build sound arguments, which you also get from writing and discussing ideas.
