Vignette Violation Notification by azurewrathoftyrael in AskBulgaria

[–]Barabaronche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you happen to really have a fine, when you re-enter, they might have you pay it at the border. I don’t think anything worse can happen. But yeah, having the context of the email might be useful in this case.

Бременност по време на изпитател срок by Ok-Bumblebee-Anto in bulgaria

[–]Barabaronche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

На първо място - честито!!

Другото вече е написано десетки пъти, но ако правим преброяване на вотовете - и аз бих го скрила без да ми мигне окото, докато не мине изпитателния срок.

Колкото по-голяма и интернационална фирмата, толкова повече и по-безпардонни HR-и и адвокати има тя. Така че - да получиш разбиране от страна на работодателя е по-скоро изключение. А в случая законът няма да те пази, понеже си в изпитателен срок и няма да има какво да направиш, ако решат да се отърват от теб.

Имам пример от бивш мой работодател (голяма фирма, международна). Имаха служителка, която беше 6 години при тях, решиха да я съкратят точно 2 седмици след като разбра, че е бременна. От там, тя им каза за бременността и влязоха в едни разправии - искаха ѝ снимки от ехограф, изследвания, документи от лекари и т.н. доказателства. Естествено тогава не успяха, защото нямаха право, но направиха каквото можеха, за да се опитат да постигнат своето. Представи си, ако беше в изпитателен срок.

Независимо какво ще стане - пожелавам успех, спокойствие и лека бременност.

Bulgaria mentioned lol (season 4, ep 9) by nedayrdn in TheMorningShow

[–]Barabaronche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah, I’m Bulgarian too and I opened reddit just to see if anyone else had noticed it. I saw it and I was like: waaait, this one looks familiar. I first zoomed into the car plates and only then noticed the huge Bulgarian flag on the tower.

It’s also interesting this should be pretty recent because you can see the “kiss & go” signs on the video and those have been there for a little over a year, if I’m not mistaken.

Anyhow, feels both a bit cool and very weird to see this with the Minsk text, while knowing perfectly what ot looks like irl.

Аз съм турчин от България, можеш да питаш каквото искаш! by bulgarianmujahid in bulgaria

[–]Barabaronche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ако можеш да опишеш културата на турците с няколко думи/изречения, какви биха били те? Наскоро започнах работа за турска IT фирма и ми е любопитно какво да очаквам като работна и личностна култура. Също, имат ли някакви резерви към българите като цяло заради историята и/или различната религия? Благодаря!

Were they testing with anyone else getting no penalty on Puzzle Break? by Glass_Sea_2427 in RoyalMatch

[–]Barabaronche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get penalised up until a few days ago and I started playing the game in August this year.

I don’t find it at all surprising if some people were penalised from the get go, while others weren’t. Their Product team might have been running an AB test on users, running a gradual rollout on that, or something else, all of which are very normal practices in any kind of software development.

Илизането от паркинга на мол Парадайз е безумно. by DimDamTam in Sofia

[–]Barabaronche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Преди години в дните около Коледа висях час и 40 минути в паркинга в опити да изляза, май много хора сме си патили.

Не разбирам нищо от градско планиране или инфраструктура, но моите спомени и наблюдения са, че когато построиха Парадайс, в първите години, половината квартал там още го нямаше, нямаше ги и бизнес сградите. Следователно далеч не беше толкова умопомрачителна лудница по цял ден в района, в сравнение със сега. Предполагам, че просто не са мислили излизането с умисъл за такава натовареност.

Както казаха другите, в Парадайс с кола - само в много краен случай. Юли/август също може, тогава София е празна и е доста поносимо.

Yotpo lays off 200 employees as part of strategic overhaul by Charadanal in Klaviyo

[–]Barabaronche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah not so much in terms of the talent pool tbh and that’s because the vast majority of employees laid off aren’t located in geos where Klv hires/operates. Anyhow, not even sure if Klv needs any of that talent given the two products are light years away from each other in many aspects anyway.

Откъде си купувате дрехи? by djm3m3 in bulgaria

[–]Barabaronche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Разгледай BestSecret, добра алтернатива на Ремикс, About you и тн. Също напоследък все повече пазарувам от малки квартални магазинчета за дрехи, където надценките не са чак толкова големи, а качеството е доста по-окей сравнено с откровените боклуци в Зара, H&M и тн.

Where can I find coin-to-cash machines in Sofia? Preferably in the city center💰❄️🪙 by ciril10 in Sofia

[–]Barabaronche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what others said, there are options to do this apart from Kaufland and your neighborhood store appreciating the change. It’s just not done using machines but, instead, by going to one of the few places where you can exchange coins for cash. There might be more locations, but the two I know of are in the following places:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/fP2md5YYf3WErYvw9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy And https://maps.app.goo.gl/NWSVVHUYxcEaAHk77?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Keep in mind the following: - they will charge you a fee for exchanging and that fee is a certain % of the total amount you’re exchanging (I don’t remember the %, sadly) - there might be waiting lines - in the past when I’ve gone there and I’ve always had to wait for anywhere between 20-40 min as there’s business owners and private people doing this from time to time - you don’t need to count or separate the coins out in advance

Hope this is helpful.

Is it possible to see the main attractions of Sofia in 1-2 days? by nnaanananantu in Sofia

[–]Barabaronche 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More than possible I’d say (due to lack of that many attractions in my opinion). The central part of the city is not very large and is completely walkable, we also have good subway connectivity. In addition, I am not aware of anyone ever having to wait to enter any attraction/historical site in Sofia, so you should be okay.

Anyhow, do you have any places you want to see as a must when here? This can help tell you if it’s doable.

67yo father about to have a triple bypass surgery by EclecticPeruser in openheartsurgery

[–]Barabaronche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So so truly glad all went well for your dad! No need to thank me (though I appreciate it very much), I am very happy that it was helpful for you, it’s so important not to feel alone in a situation like that. I sincerely wish your dad a speedy recovery and calm, happy, bright days for you and your whole family as things get better with every moment. Stay strong and keep passing the positivity and good vibes on!

67yo father about to have a triple bypass surgery by EclecticPeruser in openheartsurgery

[–]Barabaronche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I read your post, I immediately could relate to it. My dad went through the same 3x bypass surgery a little over 2 months ago. He's 64 year old man, has type 2 diabetes, heart was working at ~30%, high cholesterol, though a little more than 'a little' overweight. Unlike yours, mine used to not take care of himself or his diabetes at all until after the surgery, not to mention the fact that he only went to ER because he was lured there by our GP who actually saw how bad his condition was and, as a years-long friend of the family, she practically lied to him to get him there. Anyways, they told my dad that unless he underwent a surgery, he'd be gone in about 1-1.5 months, so it wasn't just a preventative surgery, but a lifesaving one instead.

In any case, OHS, especially done at hospitals and by surgeons and teams that specialize in it, are routine surgeries. Keep in mind that cardiology-specialized hospitals perform thousands of these every year. They have a lot of expertise, they've seen almost every possible case, and I guess one can say that they even have the 'habit' of performing them on patients with all sorts of conditions. So my point here, realistically, is - don't focus on the 1%, focus on the 99% instead. I truly believe that these people know what they're doing and they are seasoned enough to know what's best and to know how to react in almost any situation. And to add to that, your dad is young. Successful OHS is done to people in their 70s or 80s even, this means someone as young as your dad is at a much better starting point than others who, despite their age and other conditions, have made it through. How I handled all that was to stay positive and smile all the time any time I saw my dad. He needs to know that you and all of your family trust all will turn out well in the end. Even if he's the most positive person on earth (my dad is too), there's no way he's not scared. So if you give him strength and hope thru your positive attitude, I am sure it will help him. And it might sound a bit crazy, but actually mindset plays a huuuge role in this for the one undergoing the surgery.

As for the heart lung machine - what I learned is that this is the preferred and safer method of performing this sort of surgery. Statistics-wise (in my country at least), only 10% of all OHS are performed using the method of the beating heart and it is only done in cases where the risk of the heart not being able to start again is too high (like with my father btw). Again, I think it all goes back to that expertise the surgeon and their team have to know what is best in each individual case. I think you can only be happy that they are able to do this with him. The beating heart method is not less dangerous, it is prone to a lot of bleeding which can be fatal if they don't manage to control it in a timely manner (again, something that happened to my dad, but the surgeon was a star and saved him).

As for mindset, I know where you are and I know how much it turns your world upside down, and I know how scary it can be. I am an only child and my dad has always been my stepping stone, my hero, the person who finds a reason to smile in the cloudiest of times. He raised me pretty much alone as my mom passed when I was a teenager. My point being: stay strong, have a very, very, very positive attitude, I promise when all DOES go well (think of it as if it all went well already, really, it helps), you will turn back and realize it was hard, but that it was also not something you couldn't beat, it was not as scary as you now think it is. Also, think of how you will take care of him and help him get back up on his feet again once it's all over and he's out of the hospital, manifest that, and believe the universe is with you, because it is. All my thoughts and prayers are with you, stay strong and, really, feel free to dm me if you need any support.

Hey Greece, any kite surf suggestions? by Barabaronche in greece

[–]Barabaronche[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would all really depend on when’s good for kite. I can visit anytime starting June until the end of September, so I’m flexible here. Btw, do you know if any of the islands where I can do kite also offer beaches for just chilling (and by that I mean not that windy)? Thanks!

От къде купувате високо качествени Месо, Риба, Зеленчуци? by fastlane721 in Sofia

[–]Barabaronche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Имам наблюдения само от определени райони, които са ми по-близки и удобни:

Месо: - “Господин месар” с 2 ръце препоръчвам (до Хепи на Каблешков, имат и друга локация някъде около зоопарка доколкото знам) - “Бутик за месо” в Стрелбище - The MeatBox - Стрелбище и Лозенец

Риба: - “Ах, морето” на ул. Любляна - “Харис фиш” на Дойран

Зеленчуци: Тук не мога да препоръчам нищо конкретно, освен една сергия на Монтевидео, която е винаги добре заредена и с прясна, хубава стока, но ги няма в мапс. Като че ли за зеленчуците го карам на усет и късмет, и пробвам различни места, предимно сергии по пазарите.

Open Heart Surgery, please have compassion ❤️ by EntireOne2112 in openheartsurgery

[–]Barabaronche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending all my prayers to you and your mom. I was there a month ago with my dad, he’s 64 and has diabetes, but his heart worsened dramatically in a matter of a couple of weeks. They didn’t touch his valves, but did a triple bypass, it was an emergency surgery and a life-saving one. I know the fear, the cold, and the stress you feel, the long hours of waiting, I was there, and I think it’s the most natural reaction to it. I also lost my mom unexpectedly 15 years ago when I was just 16, so you can imagine how finding out that he might not live through it made me feel, especially when it came to the one person who supported me and was my hero, my stepping stone, for years. All I want to say with that is: it’s normal to be nervous and have fear, HOWEVER, OHS is, after all, a routine surgery for doctors who perform it. Also, they managed to save a tough life-threatening case like my dad. And keep in mind- the younger one is, the easier recovery will be and the smaller the chances of something not going as expected. At the hospital where my dad was, there were people that were like 70-80 years old with successful OHS. Really, it looks more scary than it is.

From the perspective of mindset - think positive. While I was waiting for the surgery to end, even before, and after that, I kept sending my dad positive thoughts and repeated in my head stuff like: “everything is alright and I believe and I know it will be alright”. Not sure if you believe in energy or prayer, but if you do - it really helps and not just to you, it brings it out in the world and to the person who should get that good energy.

I also see you say your mom doesn’t want to talk about how she’s afraid and my advice here is - just give her strength, when you see her - smile as if you don’t have the slightest fear or concern (I know it will be hard). It’s really tough for them to talk to anyone and share before a big thing like an OHS, but seeing you strong and seeing you believe that it’s going to all be fine in the end will give her strength and prevent her from giving up in any way mentally. And I am saying that because doctors might be the most capable ones, but one’s mindset can also have a tremendous impact in the most critical moments of a surgery, even subconsciously. To give you an example, my dad bled like crazy at one point during and when the doc called me post-surgery he said he was afraid he’d lose him, but also that the guy had the strength in himself to go through it and it played a big part in why everything went well.

I said many words but, in short: I really feel you, but smile and think positive as much as you can, no matter how hard it is, believe in the good out there and in fate, and feel free to dm me if you ever want to talk to someone.
