I wouldn’t initiate or invite, but if I just happen to be in the same room with myself it would be fine. It would be mostly quiet and we do our own thing, or the occasional silly philosophical or metaphorical discussions but probably nothing real or deep. Or maybe it’ll be a free therapy session, having 2 brains figure out my emotions

It also annoys me that my insurance groups chiro together with physio so people might think that they’re alternatives to each other. I had a colleague who said “physio just gives you exercises/homework while chiro fixes you on the spot”

I believe it’s true too that other people might notice first. I think it might be because we look at the mirror often, especially when working out, and don’t notice the small changes our body has gone through during the process. But when you see someone you haven’t seen in weeks, the difference is much more noticeable

Do you have any recommendations for a good pair of earplugs?

I live in Australia but working remotely for a US tech company.

• Unlimited PTO (company policy) that my boss encourages to take. If I take less than 4 weeks then I get paid (Australian policy)
• Unlimited sick days
• 16 weeks maternity leave at full pay (company policy), or 24 weeks at national minimum wage (~AUD 185/day) for Australian policy. Up to 12 months unpaid

I usually take 6-8 weeks a year of PTO and for maternity leave I’ll take the 16 weeks paid, and 8 extra weeks unpaid/minimum wage (depending on my spouse’s situation)

🙋‍♀️ grew up with a religious mother, went to church every Sunday, did bible study and got baptized as a teenager. Then I went to college and continued reading the Bible on my own. Without anyone else shaping/interpreting what I read, I quickly disagreed with the text. It was interesting to see how much the church’s interpretation can differ from your own when reading the same text

I was studying computer science then, and I’m working as a software engineer now, so probably just as expected. Probably thought I would have gotten married and had kids younger but otherwise life has been…boring

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Insulin costs $7 in Australia vs $98 in the US. I’m guessing US drug companies want the cost in Australia to go up so US doesn’t look as bad in comparison

I misread pensioners as prisoners. Was really worried about what they do in prisons over there. Then got to the comments saying “this is common” and I reread the title a couple times before it clicked. Wow I need sleep.

I tried using the Leaf for a couple weeks. It was interesting.

I guess I should stop interacting with Reels

I’m on Voyager too, might be client specific then.

In case you had the same issue I did, it worked for me using !Football@lemm.ee (uppercase first letter) but I couldn’t subscribe if it’s all lowercase

I might be wrong but I think 28x28 is 16x(7x7) instead of 4x. It should be 7x7x4 instead of (7x4)x(7x4)

Unfortunately not about my actual game. But I’ve been playing using a controller and I think I’m getting RSI on my wrist because of it. I’m taking a break from the game for a few days, maybe a week.

I think I was in early spring of year 3. Got 4 candles on grandpa’s shrine so I’m mostly relying on the statue for iridium now. Skull cavern was too stressful for me.

I live in Australia, which I guess is not a civilized country.

In any case, what does that even mean for software engineers to be certified? Do we get certifications for specific programming language? Or a stack? Or is it specific to what industry your tech is based on? Cos I don’t think it makes sense for someone working on a social media platform to have the same certification as someone who’s working on health tech for example. Why does it need to be a protected title? Does the general public even care or is it just other certified engineers who care?

Yeah I was gonna ask, whether certification/government regulations are required for all engineering disciplines. I graduated with a CS degree and work as a software engineer now. I have family members who studied different engineering disciplines (industrial, civil, mechanical, etc), and only 1 of them ever needed certification (civil engineer). What makes one more “engineering” than others?

Middle of spring year 2. This was supposed to be a relaxing run so I’m not chasing any goals in particular (other than I want 10 hearts from everyone at some point). But honestly at this point there are days I’m just running around because I don’t know what to do for the day. Maybe I should spend more time actually building up my farm.

Any time my husband comes by and sees my game he complains that I’m not making nearly as much money as he expects. I think I made ~200k in the whole of year 1 and he says it should be so much more 😂

Thank you! I just looked it up. Wasn’t aware of it so I’ll wait until I can get one
