Regret moving

Some places are better to visit than to move to.

At least that’s the experience of Jaime Stathis, a writer who moved to a small town in Northern California. She fell in love with Grass Valley, and when her partner got a job in Sacramento, they jumped at the chance to move.

But the city’s high cost of living and isolation made living difficult. He left after less than three years.

It is not an uncommon occurrence.

The rise of remote work, especially in the early days of the pandemic, has made it easier than ever to try a new city. Residents of the big cities left their beach houses in large numbers, which caused a great epidemic throughout the country.

Many tech workers left California for Austin, but many regret their choice. Another said the emerging tech industry is “where aspirations end.”

And while moving to small towns in Central America can be better for your wallet and quality of life, it’s not always great for your job.

Business Insider’s Aki Ito previously wrote that just like the far-flung job market, people who have moved to smaller cities have fewer job options. Living in a big city can help you succeed in your next job search – and the one after that.

So while a charming small town may make you feel like a wanderer, it may not be the permanent change you’re looking for.

Overnight at the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois

As the only five-star hotel in Basel, Switzerland, Les Trois Rois has hosted high-profile guests for centuries, from Napoleon Bonaparte to the Rolling Stones.

After walking through the arched path, visitors don’t have to lift a finger. The concierge can coordinate appointments for hair and dog grooming, or provide a watch winder. Guests can enjoy fine dining in its Michelin-starred restaurant, or drive the hotel’s Bentley.

Miss USA’s self-destruction

Miss USA was once a coveted crown that promised instant fame and attention. But through interviews with more than a dozen sources, including past Miss USA winners and managers, BI has found an unlikely organization.

This year, both queens gave up their crowns. The organization, which fights for internet deals, is pushing competitors back to the same crappy way they’ve been fighting for decades. Some wonder if competition is still important at all.

The new Ozempic

You’ve heard of Ozempic and Botox, treatments that have become health services and beauty trends. But now there’s a new player on the health scene: NAD.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a major component of a healthy body, helping our cells to function properly. But as we grow older, our ability to produce it decreases. Now some celebrities and biohackers are using NAD+ boosters to keep themselves feeling – and looking – young.

What happens with NAD+ boosters.

Time to go back.
