After graduating I couldn’t even get an interview for a relevant position. I took whatever random jobs for a while until I got sick of it. Getting a good job in the city was impossible so, I started looking for jobs anywhere and everywhere. Before long I found one 600 km away from where I lived at the time. Turns out, it’s very difficult to find competent people willing to work in the middle of nowhere, so even fresh graduates will do.

I needed money, they needed people. The job was also a pretty good match to my degree, so it was a win-win for everyone.

Pro tip: if you want to compete with all the PhDs with 10 years of experience, stay in the city. If not, be open to relocating. Don’t be afraid of small towns, they are actually pretty nice. Oh and the rent! I’m paying peanuts for a very nice flat, because it’s so far away from all the big cities.

Just remove the battery entirely while you’re at it. The whole thing becomes lighter and slimmer, which should boost sales.

It’s a package deal in each case, so you’re not really getting the same thing.

  1. When you don’t pay, you get email services, but you sacrifice your privacy.
  2. When you pay, you get email services, and you get to keep your privacy.

Of course, people don’t see equal value in these things. You might not appreciate privacy as much as someone else, and that’s ok. You make your own compromises based on your personal values. We all make compromise at some point.

But maybe you would pay for the service of someone else doing all the server stuffs and software development on your behalf? If you’re a paying customer, the company should also respect you and your privacy.

On the other hand, if you’re using the service for free, then the incentives suddenly shift towards you being the product.

Feels somewhat familiar, doesn’t it.

Actually it depends on how it decomposes. Anaerobic processes tend to produce methane, whereas aerobic ones usually produce CO2. Anyway, I was mainly thinking of the microplastics though. Biodegradable plastic wouldn’t stay in a harmful form for thousands of years, but it would still produce carbon in some form.

Renewable sourcing is nice, but that doesn’t really address the main problem, which is what happens to the plastic after you’ve used it. If it’s burned, it will release the previously stored carbon into the atmosphere. If it’s recycled, the carbon stays in circulation. If it’s biodegradable, it solves the plastic problem for the most part.

Bingo! I noticed that after having taken the photo, and that’s when I realized it belongs here.

That’s why you hire a green guy to act as a desk.

Who would have thought, a key cap like that already exists.

Big fan of Japanese tits. I’ve seen some, great tits as well.

Not only that, but racism, rape, torture and genocide too. All sorts of horrible things have been around for thousands of years, if not longer. History keeps repeating these things, because the exact same stupidity is responsible for writing history.
