In this context, it’s an employment specialization that allows you to earn a greater than average income. I was amazed that as a software tester I used to get paid more than a nurse, an arguably more stressful and more important employment path.

I’m on the left. It’s a hard thing that happens in life that I am pointing out, not agreeing with.

Kirchner disapproved of this meanwhile Milei…

I assume he said some rambling anti left wing nonsense while talking to his cloned dogs and wielding a chainsaw.

For the uninitiated, the previous sentence contains things that Milei actually did, but probably not at the same time.

No job, no clue. At the start the perspective of some others and me were that it felt like I just fell out of the sky and tried to integrate into society.

I figured I’d either do immersion learning for spanish, or succeed and set up my life here.

The job came fairly easily, one of the companies from my first wave of applications accepted me.

step 1 : have a career

step 2 : don’t spend that much money, building up savings

step 3 : time is money, therefore, money is time.

step 4 : be very, very frugal during your time with no work. I ate a lot of protein powder, eggs and pasta

Uruguay, still there.

Hey, I actually did this! It was the best time of my life.

My aim was to migrate to south america, specialize in my career and get in/stay in shape.

I spent my days going to the gym, learning spanish, doing impromptu streams on twitch (I found a little community in my preperations to quit my job) , and I did travel to the country I wanted to migrate to and to NY to see a band that rarely plays live, visit my family in a different country and to visit my bud that lived in scandinavia.

I spent a month with my family preparing a portfolio.

I saved money during my career, about $16k over several years,and figured, if time is money, money is time.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

Modify this to be less funny but relevant:

Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

various obscure Indian Engineers have spent their lives learning shitty Business Software, just to make ends meet have created works to share that information and to line their own pockets. Now it’s your turn to learn shitty business software so that you can make ends meet.

I am desperately trying to get a new fucking client and fighting the urge to drink myself to death

treat someone the way you would want to be treated; if that person is a rabid idiot that spews things like “death penalty now” , then make an exception since they don’t deserve good treatement; they deserve what they would do to other people, it’s ok to make an exception for these people.

Do to others as you would have done to you

Do to others as they would do to others

Nothing should be forbidden if it harms no one

depends, but I usually don’t reference more of the occasional things I listen to , less of the electronic/breakcore or experimental/obviously avant garde (less Secret chiefs 3, more crossfire duo )

EDIT : my wife doesn’t mind the tech death/grindcore, she does mind the free jazz/avant garde classical

not really.

One guarantees you X, and you can earn +y, scaleable to (not really) infinity

the other starts you at x and you lose -y until you reach zero (not really, minimum wage)

Your paycheck will reflect the same amount of money regardless — and if it doesn’t, you may want to find a better employer. 😅

bruh, the scenario you’re describing is meant to be “code shipped = bonus pay” not “code not shipped = less pay”

Also a phenomenal instrumental progressive/fusion metal band

but why aren’t the jews putting that capability to use in gaza?

relevant xkcd : https://xkcd.com/808/

I still haven’t properly played, I pre-ordered. I had some ok fun when it came out, got tempted about the plot, saw the miles of posts saying “fuck going to the center of the universe, not worth it” and left it alone.

I’m still ok with having made the pre order, because my motives have always been “I liked joe danger , and the small team behind it say they’ve got the balls to procedurely generate an entire universe? OK, let’s make it happen.” and they did. As far as I’m concerned, I got what I paid for.

now I just gotta be in the mood to play a crafting exploration game. I’ve been waiting for quite a few years… I’m afraid to check how many, because it’s going to make me feel ancient

NPM : what am I, chopped liver?

a good portion will fall into the bin of “meh, who cares”.

Some atari games are already there, and I literally had a module called “history of video games” at university. Those games came out in 1977 ish.

i’m back your side fuck that airport

I only stopped there for transit on a flight to Mexico. Just before boarding my flight I was told that I need a visa for the US, which is extremely weird because normally airports have transit zones where you don’t need any visa. But apparently the US is special, so you actually have to enter the country before going right back into the airport. This nonsense made me miss my flight.

Not like that, they didn’t let me board my flight from Europe to Texas. Even though I had a connecting flight to Mexico few hours later.

I am no longer on your side. if your journey is :

European country X -> Somewhere in the US -> Texas -> Mexico

Then of course you’re going through security controls, etc etc. You’re going from the international processing and flights part of the airport to the domestic flights part of the airport, which is the zone where any asshole in that country can travel in, so you’re properly entering the US. Of course you need proper clearance and visas and all that.

I initially assumed your journey was

Non US country-> Somewhere in the US -> Mexico

which you’d be completely right
