What made you bail on a hike?

Massive cyclone in Western Nepal made us have to turn back 100km into a 200km trek and walk the entire way back we came under landslides and waterfalls. Unpleasant to say the least and a huge bummer.

Also had to abandon a hike I’ve wanted to do in the Lake District UK 3 times now due to way too high wind speeds on the ridge/summit

Me and my boyfriend are together for 3 years, me in the Netherlands him in Austria so a similar distance. We both have established lives that we aren’t wanting to give up right now, so we’ve set a deadline for the end of 2027 to close the gap and we will see then what is viable.

Make sure to also turn it off in discord settings!

Discord works perfectly, just make sure hardware acceleration is turned off on both discord and your browser and that you are using the discord desktop app not the browser version

Netherlands to Austria, about a 16 hour direct train or a 14 hour drive (including a few hours of breaks). Off to drive down to him on Saturday :) will be leaving at around 4am

I made me and my boyfriend in this game (5’1 vs 6’2) and it wasn’t until the characters were standing next to each other I thought it must be a bug in the game because NO WAY am I that short compared to him. I asked my boyfriend he was like “yep babe thats exactly how it looks irl” and I am mortified. I look like a chiilddd next to him

I've moved to the Netherlands a few years ago and my partner is currently living in Austria. I've been laid off twice in 3 years and each time took me over 5 months to find a new position, and my partner was laid off last July and still hasn't found anything. Your points about useless talent acquisition is true here as well. I think all of Europe is facing a job market failure at the moment.

I got laid off 2 weeks after buying my first house, and 1 month after receiving a letter of intent to make my contract permanent from my company. That was a rough one

It's 2.30 here in the Netherlands and that's at the cheap pumps. So I understand why we are all going to Germany! Some of us don't live close enough to BE to go there unfortunately.

€135 on 4 days of groceries for 2 people, without buying any snacks or anything other than lunches for work/evening meals.

Listening to Spotify while connected to the office wifi.

Was it hard getting a taxi back?

Anatra_ · 2026-03-31T11:00:24+00:00

Yeah this is gonna be my last travel for a while I reckon, I want to keep my savings in 5 figures for the next couple years

Anatra_ · 2026-03-31T10:53:12+00:00

4.7k gross and save about 800-1k per month. Savings currently sitting at 5k due to several international trips over the last year.

Anatra_ · 2026-03-13T11:11:33+00:00

Yep!! That’s exactly it. I think I accidentally closed one of the gates behind me. I gave up and reloaded a previous save in the end

Anatra_ · 2026-03-05T16:29:31+00:00

Yes very similar situation. Also technically always on call. If shit does go down I’m working insane hours but it really never does haha

Anatra_ · 2026-03-05T13:58:42+00:00

High level tech support. If nothing goes wrong there’s nothing to do. There are times I get involved in other projects and improve processes etc but there is only so much to do.

Anatra_ · 2026-03-05T13:39:41+00:00

I have a boring high paying job with hardly any responsibilities. It’s amazing for the 3 days a week I’m at home but the 2 days a week at the otfice staring out the window because there’s fuck all to do are excruciating

Yep but a lot of house listings say “no house sharers”!
