I have great clients tbf, I acquired them through my past 9-5s so I knew what I was getting into beforehand

Life with her certainly was lmao

That number might even have been higher, but like half of them were bought used luckily.

It is in some countries. E.g Estonia

I was the exception to that. I worked 14-16 hours per day between my main job and my side gigs for a while and still had to take care of the kids (one mine, one step) at least half the time too. What worked for me was going to sleep at 5 and waking up at 7-8.

My lovely ex-wife, however, slept all night (I had to take breaks from work if the baby needed attention at night) AND took naps during the day along with our baby. I would've liked to sleep more too, but she had a bit of a spending habit, to say the least. We averaged two strollers a month, etc.

Baby is now a toddler and guess who works 50 hours a month and has time and money for the kid and home renovations vs who's unable to pay rent after the divorce. Being the lunatic paid off for me, but not in direct financial gain (anything earned during that era was immediately spent by my ex). Mostly it got me some new connections that appreciate my skills and taught me how much money I could be making per hour if I negotiate well.

Founder apparently so could be looking for employees.

Clients hate this shit. Real heads know to always randomize a number 1-9 to put in the last digit, so it looks like you actually put in time from a clock rather than rounding to the nearest mark.

My agreement with at least one of my client is that I round up to the next 15 minutes. They know to expect fairly round numbers.

Kühne literally makes billions from Germany but has his tax residence in Switzerland because he doesn't think the German government should get his money. Probably still salty about when they stopped his dad, an outspoken nazi party member, from looting Jewish peoples' property. Which is what made them billionaires in the first place. He of course says nothing happened and they didn't get rich off genocide while simultaneously refusing to open the company's wartime archives. Honestly think he'd deny Hitler existed if he could get away with it.

So maybe they're not trying to undermine healthcare for all, but they're evading the taxes that pay for said healthcare while literally trying to downplay the genocide that made their families rich.

As I always say, never ask Mr. Kühne what his company was transporting when his dad ran it. Mostly because he'll either lie or downplay it.

Considering his father was allowed to not only stay free, but keep running the company until his death in 1981, there's no way he didn't raise his son to share his nazi values. The man was a nazi through and through.

No, combustion engines don't weigh much nowadays. 100-300 KG is common. Battery pack alone for a Model S is 544 KG, motor+inverter+transmission is another 140ish. For an RWD car, AWD of course adds another one of these (it also adds drivetrain complexity in an ICE vehicle, but not as much additional weight as in an EV).

VW ID.3 is apparently 41% heavier than a similar sized Golf.

Who wants a more front-heavy car? That's just a recipe for understeer and I prefer having the ability to turn on ice.

You can put a petrol fire out in less than a few days though. Petrol doesn't magically catch fire upon seeing oxygen either.

Does the robot have any sharp bits? Tempered glass doesn't require much force if using, say, a broken bit of spark plug.

 

Hi!

So recently I've realized that I might have SAD. Round the winter solstice, there's about 6 hours of sunlight per day in Estonia and for much of December and early to mid January, it was also overcast so even the 6 hours of "sunlight" were kinda dark.

So I went to read Wikipedia and:

Two methods of light therapy, bright light and dawn simulation, have similar success rates in the treatment of SAD

So I'm just wondering if anyone has personal experiences with these, particularly the dawn simulation as I believe that's something I could just set up and forget hopefully (I have ADHD, I do NOT do well with things I have to repeat every day). Does it help? Do you use it outside of wintertime too?

 

For some reason or another, a whole third of all mechanical keyboards in the biggest local computer retailer's online store, are Ducky. Probably because they have ISO and ANSI layouts, a lot of colors, different sizes, and different switches. And they're ordered from abroad when bought, not stocked locally. So loads of choice and no cost showing them as available.

So since my only real options here if I want a full keyboard or TKL with blue switches are a couple of different Ducky models (one 3, Shine 7) in various colors, I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience with Ducky? I've read both praise and hate online, so can't really make heads or tails of the quality.
