Where can I read more of your writings about China? You seem to have quite nuanced knowledge on the topic.

For more context: "Over 25% of all new cars sold in China in 2022 were electric."

Exactly. It's essentially a sandbox city builder with some highway optimisation thrown in. SimCities 4 was more fun because it was more challenging and felt more like a game, rather than a sandbox.

There are so many interesting gameplay things Skylines could do to be more fun for me like:

1. Subway optimization, e.g faster train cost more but people get to their destination faster, slower trains allow for shorter distances between stations.

2. Parking optimization, e.g. building with parking costs more (because more land has to be bought), but allows people to travel to the place in

3. Low vs high taxes, nanny state or pure capitalism? How would that affect the economy and people's satisfaction?

Delegating as much stuff that you hate as possible:

Hate doing laundry? -> Take your laundry to a laundry shop.

Hate cooking? -> Always eat out.

Hate cleaning your apartment -> Hire a cleaning service.

Hate driving? -> Take Uber or move closer to work.

Hate volunteering? -> Donate to charities and volunteer orgs to do that for you!

________

And at the same time double down on the things you enjoy or/and earns you more money.

Yes, it's cross-platform and the app is quite polished. Keychain doesn't even have a proper app on the iPhone, never mind other platforms.

1Password password manager. The single best purchase. Should've done it earlier.

To fix Teams formatting issue on MacOS once and for all you can go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->App Shortcuts, then add a new shortcut by pressing (+), choose "Application": "Microsoft Teams", "Menu title": "Paste and Match Style", "Keyboard Shortcut": "⌘V", and click "Add". Done!
