Of course, yes -hell, even cats have their own AIDS; but what I meant was we get 'easily' ill. I mean, imagine we have to drink the water from a puddle?
Damn, both her Wikipedia article as well that of her as her "archenemy" Rose Pak are fascinating (even though I don't like either of them based on what I read).
I just wanted to let you know that the reason you're being downvoted is probably the perceived condescension in your use of the Myers Briggs test (which is effectively just a horoscope for pseudo-intellectuals).
I bought an aranet 4, it's quite eye opening how you sometimes get a lot of CO2 buildup without even noticing.
I mostly solve any issues with VOC by "Stosslueften", but if that's not enough because the air quality outside is too bad, a CR box is an effective, easy to build and almost perfectly silent design, especially if you do it with decent quality pc fans.
Ah, my bad, I thought that everyone built CR boxes with carbon, but that's not the case. The standard design doesn't use carbon at all. Thanks for the correction.
I upvoted because even though I prefer backpacks, it gave me the idea to try to create a movie prop bag. And also because there are few "hacker" submissions nowadays, and I consider this one of them.
I know it's a rather privileged thing to say, but I just passed up a job opportunity because I don't want to get back to 30 paid vacation days. Once you get used to 47 (took a voluntary paycut of 5 percent for 12 extra days), where you get so many side projects done because you have the time, it's hard to go back to the normal 28-35. So I have no idea why the US rarely goes above 20 or whatever they have.
I dropped to a four-day week (with 20% pay drop so in the same ballpark as your 5% for 12 days off) for stress reasons “temporarily” almost exactly two years ago. The burnout problem is finally looking like it might permanently recede (family health matters are much more stable, some work matters have been addressed, I've sorted a few personal things out, some external problems have been fixed or just told to fuck off, etc.) but I think I'm going to stick with the four days week as long as I can.
The extra money would be very useful to me right now, but I'm surviving without it and the three-day weekend is really working for me. I'm even finding time to relearn a second language on case the UK follows the US too far down the full-fash route and I feel the need to get out of dodge [I refuse to be the sort of Brit who rocks up everywhere expecting everyone to speak English!].
I know that's extremely off -topic, but could you please tell me the name of the shop? I'm currently getting into leather stamping, and the quality of dies has been rather hit or miss, so I was to cautious to buy a custom one until now.
Not at all, I ordered at the LiSaDuPu Store (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/912251155). I had a 60 mm outline of a water lily leaf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeblatt) made, and the die seems alright. I've done around twenty of those now in 7-8 oz leather, so no idea about its longevity, but it's cheap enough to warrant experimenting. The die itself accurately reproduces the PNG I sent in the chat to the store.
To use the die I'm using a one ton arbor press. That's not enough force to push a die of that size through in one go, but after the first press I can move the die and the leather around the outline and finish the cutting with a few light presses all around.
Thank you. So far I'm not using a press and relying on mallets instead, with all the limitations that result from that. But it feels more fun to me this way :)
But as I could just attach such a die to a handle myself, I'll probably give it a go anyway.
Don't even try, you won't get a reasonable answer. I've had a discussion with a similar commenter here quite recently, and in the end, they ignored my arguments and still pretended that I admitted that "Europeans view Americans as suckers."
Even if you were to show them data, you could never convince them, as their position is based on emotions. And you can't argue someone out of a position using facts, if that person didn't arrive at that position using facts to begin with.
Just out of curiosity: you do realise that illness is not specific to humans, but also occurs in animals, right?
