I am getting married in eight months. I haven’t made precise plans for the hen yet but I have a good idea of who I’d like to invite.
The invitation would not include my sister in law, my brother’s wife. My brother got married about a year and a half ago. My family were very supportive and welcom...
I'm choir singing for my friend's wedding next Saturday, which means I'm currently debugging with christian songs in y earphones (to get familiar with the melody and rhythm). That is really weird.
@ElizB hi there! well those are church songs (most of them are in Latin BTW) ... Christian rock isn't very popular in France :p but I have some in my Deezer Flow too @Rain! I like the melody.
I didn't even know there's such a thing like HM christian songs lol
What is the purpose of being social, and having friends, to someone that doesn't like being social? Why should you be social with your colleagues, why should you "build a social network"?
This question is valid in specific contexts, such as the workplace, but also in a non-specific domain, such ...
Ahh I knew it looked familiar. I haven't had to deal with any networking since my old job almost a year ago. On a scale of 1 to 10, my skill now is an eth0 :P
Just yesterday we got a big watermelon and before we cut it up, we put it on the ground for him to inspect. He kept walking around it and pushing at it, it was pretty funny. He was like "What is this great smelling object that I cannot eat?" :p
@scohe001 I know pigs eat basically everything, but is there some food you can't give him because it would be bad for his health? (like you shouldn't give cow milk to cat or bread to duck)
@Ælis well just the other day I learned about Hell Pigs! (definitely give them a google). They were these 1,000 kilogram omnivores that could eat almost anything, but tended to mostly eat other predators since that was easiest for them. They were the top of the food chain until the ice age. Then only the smaller, smarter, fattier pigs survived the cold
@Ælis yea! Salt is actually extremely bad for him (think like chocolate for dogs). It's super easy for pigs to get poisoned from too much sodium in their system
@scohe001 I wouldn't have guessed. It's weird to think about what some mammals can eat safely and others can't, even though we live in mostly the same environment
@JaspervanLooij you're right, I need to know enough about people to be able to imagine what their drawn ava could look like :) maybe someday, who knows
It's not about what you look IRL though. More about what I caught about you from our convos and how I imagine you in my head. Like, I can attest @Ælis isn't pink IRL :p
@JaspervanLooij yay! Is Intel finally going to catch up with AMD's success?
Quick reminder people: tomorrow is the last day for nominating yourself for the RO open positions (see the pinned message in the star board). If you're interested or have questions feel free to ping me :)
@ElizB I must be tired tonight :p what I meant is, you mentioned an upgrade. How's this one going to be better than those you already have, if you don't mind me asking?
@avazula the nucleus 5 external component of the implant i have is obsolete. I need new implants. it's basically a technology upgrade like a phone upgrade
Or simply not living in France... This morning I heard on the radio that our closest hospital is ranked #9 in the best country's hospitals. I've worked (and been admitted to ER) there, and I thought it was great. Can you imagine what does the best one look like? I can't :p
Technically, mostly paid for by taxes. That said, universal healthcare supported by taxes is probably still cheaper than a for-profit healthcare system...
@El'endiaStarman yeah, I know. I also know we're much less paid than any of our neighbours. But free healthcare and unemployment and retirement insurances sound like great advantages, enough not to be able to consider myself aging anywhere else... Although i wouldn't mind living abroad for a few years :p
50% of my monthly wage goes to housing, utilities, food and gas. 25% I save. The remaining 25% I either use for leisure like hangouts, sports and dinners or I save hehe
Speaking of living abroad... I'm a bit confused right now. I rent a nice house and have a nice job what I think I'm likely to keep once my probation period is over. Now I'm kinda freaking out trying to figure out what I wanna do with my life. Part of me wants to become a parent, the other part wants to keep enjoying the mid-20s freedom of life. Half my friends have had their first child, the other half hit the pub every night. And I'm not sure either one of those things would be good for me.
but mostly because I'm not happy with the current one rather than wanting something specific
Getting married didn't make it any easier. My wife is in the same boat because she hates her job, but has no idea what else she would want or be able to do
