If you ever sweat, like ever, smart watches may not be for you. I’ve had 3, different brands (all Android Wear OS), and my sweat eventually tarnished the charging contacts to the point of no use (even after being cleaned with alcohol and something abrasive) all three times.
So, if you sweat, you’re gonna wanna make sure the charging contacts don’t touch your skin. Ever.
2·2 months agoOh! I was thinking maybe “geerhte” but that makes way more sense. Duh.
Wait, what’s the gender neutralish German honorific?
I’d say so far, my best decision has been saying “ok” when an old coworker offered me an interview at a new job.
OP, do you mind if I ask what your native language is?
I have this mantra that I say to myself. I think it’s from Tibetan monks, but I heard it on an NPR interview.
"May we be victorious over our fears.
May we be happy without hope.
May we be of benefit to all."
The fear here is my fear of doing the thing. The lack of hope is what I feel because I will not just fucking do the thing. The benefit to all is what happens when I actually do the thing.
I know it sounds super depressing, but it helps me… sometimes.
12·2 months agoYes, I get the sound version but it’s more likely for me to just be walking in a dream, fall flat on my face, and wake up. But it’s more jarring than it should be.
Apparently it’s more common in people with sleep paralysis, which I have.
I’m pretty sure OP is saying job hunting has gotten worse because job board websites are throttled.

In much the same way, lava is less hot than the sun. I’m not touching either one, though.
Hey! I found one of them. I didn’t have this one as a kid, but it’s the same kinda thing. No idea if it works in modern windows but it works in my Windows XP virtual machine.
Yes! I had a cheap windows 95 or 98 PC and it barely ran them. But, I downloaded them over and over anyway.
Exactly! They think they know German because of a few phrases. Meanwhile, I think my German is bad because I watched the TV show “Real Humans” (Echte Menschen) in German with German subtitles and got lost anytime they were talking about legal matters in the lawyer’s office!
I know this is anecdotal. As an American, when I mention knowing a second language, I will occasionally get “oh, I know that language too!” from someone. And… They don’t. They know a couple phrases at best.
Ach du meine Güte!

In short: whatever you enjoy.
We’ve all been conditioned to think that time spent doing things you enjoy instead of working or some type of work-training is meaningless. There is more to life than employment. You’re allowed to do things you enjoy simply because you enjoy them.
