The shoes I’ve seen look like an orthopaedic horror story.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
As a fully functional adult, I’ve been eyeing off light up shoes for years. So far, all I’ve seen is gimmick shoes you wouldn’t wear for more than an hour, so I make do with fluorescent shoelaces instead.
This seems like fun, though I’m not sure if I’d be game to walk up a set of stairs on them, perhaps I’m not keen on breaking something when I’d invariably trip and fall.

It’s likely not about tennis, unless the CEO is a dick, it’s about an excuse to meet you and evaluate how you are as a human being.
Unless there’s a specific dress code requirement, I’d arrive in comfortable clothes, smart casual, clean and with a smile on my face.
When you’re asked about your lack of racket I’d point out that not only have you never played, you didn’t think it would be prudent to spend money on gear you know nothing about.
Remember, this is about people, not about hitting a tennis ball.

This whole thing was already played out on the TV series “The West Wing”, and I’m fairly sure that Aaron Sorkin got it from somewhere else.

Welcome to the community!
Among us you’ll discover an eclectic mix of humanity with a particular disposition towards the somewhat odd hobby of amateur radio, which we can’t help but discuss, sometimes even argue about, but don’t let that put you off!
Thank you for your kind words about my weekly contribution to the hobby, there’s plenty more to catch up on. I started this adventure in 2011, called it “What use is an F-call?” and renamed it after 200+ episodes to “Foundations of Amateur Radio”
It’s home is here: podcasts.vk6flab.com
Have fun and enjoy this exciting hobby! If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Excellent example. I hadn’t even considered electronics coming from a software background.

At best it’s a way to see the world and experience new things, at worst it’s sex slavery.
I’d be extremely careful, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance? 1 month ago:
I suspect that the answer depends entirely on who reports on it first. By the time the rest of the world has had time to catch up, the tone is already set.
For a related concept, consider the use of the phrase “domestic terrorism”.

- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 1 month ago:
I moved country as a way to see the world. I left Nederland and started with Australia because I had an Australian passport. I was going to give it a year. I worked six months, was unemployed for 18, then got a three day gig that lasted for six and a half years.
That move was 35 years ago. I’m still in Australia. In the meantime I met my partner, travelled around the country for five years and started my own business 26 years ago.
I visited Nederland four years in, but it didn’t feel like home.
It took many years for this to feel like home, from time to time I’d love to hug my family, but never felt homesick, I love watching YouTube videos of places where I grew up. I’ll visit the local Dutch Shop to remember smells and tastes and to bullshit in Dutch, but otherwise I’ll be doing my Aussie life.
I was born here, but grew up in Nederland.
