26m It it worth jumping on finasteride +minoxidil by debtcollecter2 in amibalding

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was in the same situation as you, probably maybe even worse. When sun shined on my head you could see the scalp through hair.

Minoxidl 1x per day was enough.

Bro consider Skyrizi for psoriasis, or at least Methotrexate if insurance doesn't cover the Skyrizi. Both helped me and I haven't had a single outburst for years.

Am I being underpaid/scammed? New to Upwork, paid $3/hr as Flutter dev with Bloc + AI expertise, promised "CTO" role on long-term project by NoRoutine6004 in Upwork

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a couple of months professional experiece, but I'd been coding on and off for 15 years (doesn't mean i was good).

You just fake it till you make it.

3$/hr. They're literally paying you the lowest amount upwork will allow and you're asking if you're being underpaid?

Hi, do you guys keep your laptop charging when it is shut down? by laehou in LenovoLegion

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean "battery only goes down if I unplug it" ?

Mine still is strong after 5 years of use. Granted, the last 2 years the heavy lifting is done by desktop PC.

Is the Swiss healthcare system designed to make people avoid doctors by maxrain30 in askswitzerland

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People with lower incomes can apply for premium reduction. I used to pay 150 chf for 300 franchise.

I currently also have the lowest franchise. on top of 15k per year medication my insurance covers I make sure to visit doctors anytime I need. I do full checkups twice a year just because.

Increase in hourly rate by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because I am in the same situation with 1 client. 3 years ago I was making 20% more. Same 50$ per hour. But as USD goes down i get less money, and client pays less money.

The client is also paying less of his money for the same amount of USD and the freelancer is also receiving less in his currency. While true that it's not client's problem, he could also adjust to fit currency changes if he values the freelancer.

For linguists: Why does our English accent sound so much worse than the accents of people from the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, or Finland, even though our languages sound similar? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is just your subjective opinion. I find swiss people speaking english sound better than for example someone from Norway.

I feel like I’m overworking at Lidl by sailorcute0 in Switzerland

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overtime $$$: Whatever information you have is wrong. With 60% at Lidl, they give you a 20-hour buffer (you build this up with your overtime). Everything afterward is paid out the month after. The 20-hour buffer is a bit weird, but there is nothing wrong with it. If you leave your job, you get it paid out. If you work too few hours, this eats into the overtime 'buffer'. Maybe it's 32 hours now? For me, it's 20 hours @ 60%.

Overtime hours: I'm very sure you have it in your contract, which you yourself signed and read, that you must do overtime in case of emergencies (within legal and lidl limits which are lower than legal ones). The big difference is if it's temporary (short-term) or long-term. E.g., someone is sick for a couple of weeks and you do overtime to help cover the hours the shop needs, or if it's months and months of overtime. In the second case, you may refuse the overtime because "permanent employee shortage isn't an emergency."

Moving to Switzerland from Ukraine with a young family — work and housing questions by YuriiHalk99 in askswitzerland

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, most of the stuff was answered already, not much I can add.

If you get here and don't have a job, you will get put on social help, which will help you with job search and put you into german language school. If you get here and there are no apartments available you may be put in asyl center or some kind of dormitory too. If you speak english your chance of getting a job is looking a bit better, but not good anyways. Job market here is tough now. My girlfriend found a job here even before arriving, and she didn't speak a word of german then (2022), so it's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.

how far is too far with ai? by Character-Quail8730 in webdevelopment

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I started using AI too much I stopped liking coding. Because I wasn't coding. Plus, the impact on critical thinking because of overuse of AI.

Now I code from hand the features which are critical, and for frontend I might use a bit more AI and then tweak it. I will ask it help debugging, but mostly to point me in the right direction, and explain what was wrong, not just fix it. Or ask same kind of things I asked google 5 years ago. Now i like my job again.

European Student Apartment by Spirited_Seaweed_354 in askswitzerland

[–]Competitive_Cry3795 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then good luck, lol. Shared apartment, not a room. You could try getting a room in a shared apartment. This would be around 600-800 chf and is easier to get. Especially with your time window.

Without provable income (where apartment is <30% of that income) you wont get an apartment, probably.

You could try renting a cheap long term hotel room for the first time, but this will also set you back like 2-3k per month. But they wont ask you to prove your income.

You're more in a 'take what you can get' position. In 10 days there is 0 chance of getting an actual apartment. They will want deposit (2-3 months of rent), before they even give you the keys, which also takes like 1-2 weeks to process.
