- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 1 week ago:
For me its the other way around. I worked 3 different shifts, including weekends, all the holidays and my shifts would be so random up to 6 workdays in a row with one or two days off in between. Most weekends I’ve worked, and my friends were available only on the weekends, so I missed on many stuff. My sleep schedule was non existant and I’ve felt constantly tired - i couldn’t recover after those night shifts with 2 days off. I wouldn’t get to spend time with my gf, even though it’s daily routine - cooking food, watching series before bed, etc, cause most time when she was free i would be either sleeping or working.
Getting the stuff done, your appointments is nice, especially in the mornings when you got evening shift later, there are definitely upsides to working in shifts. But definitely not for everyone, the random sleep patterns caught up to me and since then I’m working in office hours, feeling much better even though the pay is less.
I guess where are working matters a lot. My current workplace let me leave earlier if I need to, or WFH, there’s no pressure in time-keeping and I love that. So many places feel like you’re working in ER, but you’re just making someone rich :D. Also the city I am living in is a 600k European city, where distances are smaller, most drive <1h here to work. But I would move to smaller town for sure of we had children.
I don’t want to get into American vs European labor laws, but I’m getting 4week/year PTO as much sick days as I meed (with reduced pay) and child care days off, meaning 1 day off/2 months whenever you want.
Sensible employer, decent sized town, and good enough country.

In case anyone want to know why is that. Acid+water = bunch of hydrogen bonds form = heats up and starts to boil. Also most acids are much denser than water, so they sink to the bottom so they spread out and the heat dissipates better. If you put water to acid, it immedialety boils up, it can float on the boiling acid.

- Comment on What do you do when you have a cold and can't take medicine? 6 months ago:
Lots of hot liquids. my grandma picks linden blossoms during July, dries them and gives me for the winter colds. I’ve learnt that it contains natural compounds that makes your body sweat like crazy which is a good thing when you are sick.
also thyme, daisy, rasperry leaf teas

just general vibe here, even positive news about something happening outside of US and you get a lot of negativity.

my grandmother picks sorrels on the way home and makes sorrel soup. When I was a kid, i remember we would eat them when we we’re playing outside. We knew where all the crunchy ones had grown and not share with anyone that was unworthy

- Comment on Take that to the privacy of your own home. 2 years ago:
alcohol withers your body so much, maybe you don’t feel it now, but maybe one day you will wake up looking 20y older than you supposed to be. maybe it sounds harsh, but thas what i fear the most. Thats why i rarely go out - all my friends i know keep drinking, and without participating in it there’s really not much to do. I take drinks now or then, but getting shit faced and spending whole Saturday hangover seems kind waste of free time. Fuck milk tho.
- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 2 years ago:
Op7pro user here too. Its been 4 years already and at this point im just going to keep using this phone until its unbearable to use. Ive dunked it in river, smashed many back covers. At this point its not about being sustainable or something, but im genuinely interested how long can i withstand replacement. I dont mind having no 5g,since 4g with full bars is pretty fast already. All these phones currently in the market would be very incremental upgrade, unless you’re going flagship range which is around 1k. I want to see smaller phones to come back. Sadly, phone manufacturers are pushing foldables, so it very rare to see any smaller than 5.5" phone for sale. If i were to upgrade now, probably id choose asus zenfone 9/10, pixel 8 with all these promissed 7 year updates.
