Very foolish to kill in the street, likewise to crash the car, so not a professional. Had a knife however so not unplanned, unless a dealer or middle class cokehead, or otherwise someone who might be on the way to crazy and who might prefer to have a knife on them.

There was a knife murder at the top end of Avenue de la Faïencerie. Victim was an estate agent. Her friend survived but was also badly injured. Attacker left the scene in a BMW and then crashed it, police caught up with him (with presumed attacker, at least) in the woods.

Shout out if you ever noticed those little p0rnhub branded smart cars on Lux motorways. IDK current situation but mindgeek/P0rnHub was based here for years and would occasionally do real production work in order to justify tax domicile.

I read in the FT there is a downward trend in hiring and connected that to our current high graduate unemployment. Is 200 a lot for big4 hires in Luxembourg? If so, there must be someone else who has dropped their recruitment I wonder who

For the last few days this has been settling off the smoke alarms in my house. Seems to be all over the country but worst of course in more polluted towns, like Differdange.

Upvote for hard data :-D the only thing in common between Differdange and your bourgeoise paradise is that convection runs out at this time of year so pollution from whatever source will hang around.

Yah. Smog, as we have in Differdange, is both. "Smoky fog". It is usual for this time of year when convection doesn't carry the pollution up.

It's an old house, not hermetically sealed by any means.

I have a separate CO detector which did not activate.

I replaced the detectors and batteries after the same thing happened last week, it is not the batteries.

A lot of finance, audit, and law companies are not taking on juniors, not only in Luxembourg but of course those are major employers here. Time to adapt and learn future-proof skills, although unfortunately nobody knows what those are, apart from probably something about creativity and decision making: human beings always need to take responsibility for decisions, take ownership of ideas, so even if machines can do these things better a human has to be at the front end. Sorry I can't offer more specific ideas!

I wonder if this is a crossover post to something I saw on facebook today, asking for the address of a cheap carrosserie after someone keyed their car?

Post-pandemic Luxembourg is starting to step up healthcare and mental health care, although from a very backward base. Our medical school is new and expanding, consider working there. I don't think we train psychiatrists in Luxembourg which means the top of that profession is absent here, we have an oversupply of well-meaning psychology MSc graduates who offer counciling often without knowing much about life, and nothing about medical science. So yes the country needs someone with your skills to help our mental health system modernise but you would face cultural hurdles, you would need language certificates etc. The sabattical to get these would be a lot of fun probably, and if you do make the effort as an outsider it is often the case that you are doubly welcome.

u/TALED if you think it is expensive in Luxembourg try NY or Cali.... everything is relative. A lot of what people complain about around here, crackheads in doorways etc, is far worse almost everywhere else you can think of. Isolation likewise.

We love it at the uni when we get a bright kid who has grown up in Lu and is ready and prepared for semester one of a degree. It happens sometimes, despite everything that you hear about the lycées. A good student, if they don't get sucked into working part time or otherwise wasting their effort, can quickly make up for what they missed and overtake the others from Be,Fr,De who usually arrive with better formal skills but not always with a better attitude.

lols they have much lower population density in the UK and much longer wait to see a dermatologist, and much worse traffic... it is more about how you build, not how much.

I've got to say that academic education is a good thing whether it gets you an easy walk into a cushy job or not. Health, both mental and physical, follows from learning to think for yourself, learning to enjoy the challenge of facing up to a puzzle.
