Bike trip on the Panericana from Punta Arenas to whatever is the northern most city in Alaska. Or if I have less time but cash to burn, do it in an ultra-light (A bit like Blyth Cape-town Cape North expedition in the 90’s http://www.trike-expeditions.com/CapeToCape/capetocape.html )
I plan on doing exactly that for the following 6 months (quit my job, taking a break to address burnout and reorient): nothing.
I wouldn’t call adressing a burnout a Sabbatical but a sick leave, a Sabbatical is choosing to take time off work for a project, not needing to take time off work for your mental health
Sorry that you’re there (And use the health issue as an explanation for the hole in your CV if they ask)
Weirdest I’ve seen was that voter who comes to his voting office, not to vote but to insult The president, The mayor, the volunteer and staff present, and even some of the voters we spent like 5 minutes trying to de-escalate and negotiate Please either leave or vote, but stop insulting everyone and it’s finally when the voting office chairwoman took her phone to call the cops that this guy went away. (Thanks for the extra paperwork, because event though the cops didn’t have to physically remove a person out of the voting station, we know had to describe the incident in the report, at least it was a consensual decision for every official present)
On more banal stuff I’ve seen that tall/large gentleman on crutches who put the voting booth down when trying to enter inside.
To be fair, if OP lives in the northern hemisphere, the season for Tomatoes is over, so it’s hard to get fresh tomatoes that doesn’t taste like water
Could anyone get an registration link ? it’s one week and still waiting for it
Answer based on European standard where worker have some basic rights
Not happy in the job : do the bare minimum while looking for something else guarantees that pay keeps coming, worst-case they fire-you giving you a severance pay (not necessarily big if you’re new in the company) and keeping your right to unemployment (which in general are lost when you quit).
Toxic environment impacting mental health : Go to your doctor and take sick-leaves, and please do it before being in full burn out, then come back to previous point
Very toxic environment, like harassment : Talk with a lawyer or an union representative you may have a case to sue the company, and even quit on the spot while keeping severance pay and unemployment rights, but you may-need a legal advise for it
I also love-it so much, Suddently, there is day light late, you see people outside, no matter whether it’s about kids playing outside after school, or adult having an evening walk, but suddently looks like life is back
It’s not just the season, but the idea of having to change all the clocks and do our life on hour earlier/later/whatever, so now when we leave work it’s night, and when we make-up it’s dark, but there is enough light to commute to work.
The Whole daylight saving time is stupid, especially when switching to winter time
What’s on the image? Can you accept to talk about it with your boss?
There is a big difference between a photo of Dr OP giving an invited seminar about some advanced topic, and OP wearing a German WW2 outfit “for Carnaval”
Most people with Ph.D don’t use the Dr title out of a formal setting.
Between People thinking that you’re a physicianand asking about their health, and people thinking you’re pedantic. Better staying discrete.
I’d recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one.
I would advise against lemmy world and .ml, .world is already way too big, the day they fail, all lemmy will collapse. Place like lemm.ee or sopuli or Blahaj, or Fedia if you prefer mbin are way nicer.
That said, .ml works good enough to discover lemmy, don’t panic too much
How would a dishonest person add extra? Here in Australia you go in, get signed off on a book, and they give you a piece of paper for your voting preferences. You don’t get unlimited papers to vote multiple times.
My hypothesis is that the dishonest person is an official, so they can be the person giving the ballots/envelope, they were present when we opened the box with ballots/envelope to put them on the table, and have access to the box (The one storing the empty envelopes/ballots) where they’re stored to refill the table over the day. So getting ballots/envelope is quite easy, and all in less than 2 minutes you can put them in the box and sign near a sick/old person name. Looks like even easier if you close/open the voting office every morning/evening for a week, and store the box for the night. So I am curious about the safeguards.
Band camp sends you updates about artists/producer you bought from. Feel like it’s borderline scam, but may be a way
Which kind of games. From an Rpg perspective,
Alice is missing a silent Rpg, which is played using instant messenging. That one is absolutely crazy, with a lot of potential for bleed
Blade in the dark, which is basically the latest revolution in Rpg. And led to the FITD games, it kept the yes but partial success from previous generations of PBTA games, use long term actions (aka clock) for everything (same mechanics for opening a lock, seducing the princess or fighting a guard), and has this downtime phase which is more than just spending XP. It also has flashback mechanic letting you jump to the action and plan latter
Mork Borg, the system is fine but banal. However, the weird aesthetic makes it a must have in a rpg lover collection
Do you speak the local language, if not start getting courses now, even if many person are fluent in english, not everyone will want to speak English. (You know the joke about Parisian who don’t know English if you start talking with them in English, but would switch to a perfect English if you have a slight foreign accent when speaking french)
Expect that even basic stuff won’t work the same way as you’re used too. It’s already an issue when moving between two European countries, even basic stuff like what you can legally find on a lease or how to get health coverage will drastically change.
In southern Europe people are pretty touchy/tactile and an America would feel sexually harrassed, Nordic Europe is the other way around with pretty distant people where an American would pass for way too touchy/friendly
Learn to ride a bike, and expect to walk way more than in the US, also remember that even though winter are milder, Europe is way far up north than the US
It’s been over 40 years that Japan has been massively exporting anime to the west.
People under 50 yo grew up watching Dragon-ball, Sailor-Moon, Naruto or one piece rather than Superman/batman
Has someone tried the whole ad guard solution? Their marketing brochure looks nice, but does it work on mobile +YouTube? Woula pi hole at home be better?
Don’t get in debt for fun. If you like playing, go for TTRPG, with one 50€ book and some imaginatipn you can play a multi year long campaign with 5 persons
Frozen veggie with curry sauce.
Takes les 5-10 minutes to prepare, Is tasty, adding curry is magic bullet to improve taste It’s veggie, so pretty healthy
Depending what you look for.
For horror role-playing, I sometimes put various dark ambient playlists from youtube/spotify with artists like Atrium Carceri or Cryo chamber not sure whether they really have an audience out of the rpg community
Doom metal, may also be a good choice Blood Ceremony has some pretty dark tones (even though their latest Album is more modern blues than doom metal) or Uncle acid. Iff you’re into the slow music you can go for band like Monarch!
