Oh thanks!

You did not disappoint, have to download that when I get home. Even has maps of some of the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft

This makes me happy! I just recently got really into maps and was glad to see a bit of community here as well.

Have to checkout those books, thanks for the suggestions!

Yiss 🗺️!

Ah, a fellow !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

Exactly my point, thank you for clarification!

Yeah no I think I would just butcher the language trying to speak it.

I for one vote for EU wide usage of Latin commands, EQUALITER AMBULA!

I might be wrong here but NATO countries already have to adapt language related practices to NATO practices, e.g. the NATO phonetic alphabet.

That’s just the thing - women provide more challenge.

If you had been doing the same thing for hundreds of years you’d be bored of an easy solution as well.

I like the Witcher universe explanation for vampires drinking human blood:

In the books a vampire (Regis) explains that drinking human blood is just for getting high / drunk.

I believe so aswell, but there is lemmy.ml for example, which apparently is meant to stand for “marxism-leninism” in that specific instance (.ml is Mali’s country TLD).

They are shitting bulls, probably living a life of constant pain

Definitely, good way to put it.

I switched from controls engineering to information technology - in industrial automation interviews not once was I asked to prove my knowledge about PLCs or anything like that, they trusted my education and experience.

The interviews in information technology were like “make us a working app for free before we have a second round of interviews” even after few years of previous experience in their specific field and a repository to show off my free-time projects.

I switched because I got tired of traveling, but holy shit I miss the job market of industrial automation. I still feel like I got more respect working in automation field than I have ever gotten working as a software developer.

Oh no, not sure I want that.

The reason I’m not sure, is because I woke up at 5 am to do my morning run while making cold calls and preparing to open another business because my baby was born 2 hours before and taught me about B2B marketing in AI powered age.

If you want to hear more, hit me up with a DM!

Yeah felt like being in a fever dream sometimes honestly

This dude is a god damn legend.

My previous employer would print out those cringe success and team building story posts from linkedin and hang them around the office because we complained about the working environment, I love that there is good satire of those posts on linkedin now.

Long distance relationship is something I will never recommend to anyone unless you can either afford to meet-up regularly without it putting a strain on you financially, you are okay with heart break (no one I’ve met has been), or you met, matched and spent time irl before it becomes long distance.

My personal advice based on your post alone: don’t do it (but be nice about it).

Long distance was the worst emotional rollercoaster I’ve been through, and this is coming from someone who had a “successful long distance story” and are still together since moving in together.

But I know that that’s not how our hearts work, so hoping you’ll get that job soon and save up enough for a visit!

Half an hour mandatory lunch, paid. Austria.

(pretty much depends on your job a bit, just wanted to continue with the same comment style)

IIRC two letter domains are reserved for country specific domains, the non-country domains start with three letters.

Awhile ago russians were harassing OpenStreetMap by fucking up the data, but the heroic volunteers fixed that quite quickly and kept a close eye on edits.

Fuck people who ruin cool and nice things. And even though some of this kind of malice is state funded, I still blame the asshats for putting money before anything else and taking these jobs. If everyone acted like these assholes their lives would be miserable too.
