I try to do something to make my presence known because the number of times I’ve frightened a woman by, from her perspective, appearing out of nowhere, is quite high. I’m a pretty quiet walker too.
I also make extra space on the sidewalk or I’ll cross the street at night when I’m overtaking less than 3-4 in a group.
What was your input? I’m really curious now
Sure thing! Hopefully that can help with ideas I got started by doing little short trips in the US. Maybe you can change things up with some weekend road trips or something
I work office hours at US central time, so things don’t really change a whole lot there. I wake up, do breakfast if it’s offered, hop on the morning meeting, and optionally find a cafe to work at.
Many places offer breakfast and lots of hostels have kitchens and refrigerators, so I’ll take one of those eco bags that I got for $0.50 in latin america and buy a few things for a meal, or I’ll eat out, which I do too much.
Hygiene is fine. Every place has showers and toilets - just wear flip flops or shower shoes in shared showers.
I’m currently in the US. My company’s policy of work abroad changed, so I’ll be back here for a while.
problems
I’ve learned to be more flexible. Sometimes places have flakey internet, but I have my phone as a hotspot. Your plans won’t always work out and its fine, there will be another way to make it happen. There’s another bus, plane, lodging around. It’ll be fine.
Your moving long term and have a digitally oriented job.
I kept my job and I saved a ton of money in latin america. To give you an idea, the cost of my not out of the ordinary apartment plus utilities in Austin, TX came out to about $68 per day. My housing costs in latin america ranged from $10-$40 per day. It’s hard to spend there in a day what I was doing just for rent. And that’s eating out 2-3 times per day.
So I have way more money now.
Best part is the adventure and seeing the world. Worst might be that connections are fleeting and you need to be ok with the finality of things. I think this is good overall, but what I do is I’ll travel for a while and then settle for a month or more at a CoLive arrangement. Those have the benefits of hostels in the social aspect, but you often have your own room, sometimes a dorm, and people stay for minimum amounts of time, which is often a month.
The conveniences of home can be missed a bit, but then I can rent a private room or a hotel if I want. Also, sometimes I want my me time, but then I retreat too much, so the social aspects of hostels can pull me out of that.
Buses in Latin America are great. I flew sometimes, but I have local transit passes for most places that I went to. Going between cities, I often took the bus.
I’ve been doing it for a year and a half and don’t see myself stopping. I know people that have been doing it for 7+ years. It’s whatever fits you. You don’t have to fit a mold. You can try it for short term and go back, you can do it on and off, whatever. It’s your life. Live it. haha
I sold all of my possessions and have been traveling as a digital nomad for a year and a half. It was the best thing I’ve ever done.
Daaaaaamn that’s a long list. Saved!
Ah, the good old days 😂 having to manually fix drivers but with limited help from the internet
I played Mirrors Edge a bit. The only part of physx in the game that I remember, as i didn’t finish it, was that there were some random curtains that would blow in the wind and weren’t placed anywhere where they would actually matter
Just from stepping I’d have $1,250 today. I’m fine with that.
I use a vertical mouse, the wired version of this one. It helps a lot. I also have an ergonomic keyboard. The more natural positioning of my wrists really helps with the pain.
Taxes are usually taken out using the monthly amount like a yearly amount. You’ll probably get a lot of it back when you pay taxes for the year.
We had one that was a jar of peanut butter you couldn’t give away or get rid of bc it’d teleport back immediately. It also gave a huge migraine and did damage if you ate it, and it refilled daily
Stranger Things is hard to beat
I’ve blocked quite a bit. But mostly NSFW stuff and bot accounts. Only a few communities that don’t fit that - mostly ones I thought were annoying
AV1 also supports variable frame rate. you may be able to use settings that reduce frames when not much is happening. I don’t know how much it’ll apply to Terraria though.
Headline confused “despite” and “due to”
There’s a common thing known as “judge shopping”. The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.
For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they’ll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.
A quick stop over by Aruba would be pretty. I’ve also heard good things about Martinique. I haven’t been to either myself yet. I heard that Aruba also has a huge Carnival celebration, so that season around February would be super fun.
Fucking the working class
