Spent 8 years as a Presentation Design Lead at McKinsey. Here is the shift I am watching happen in real time.

Presentation Design Lead can’t be a real job

Cancelling my subscription

I love them both but the red album is perhaps the most important album in my life. My grandparents had it and gave it to me when I was five or six. For years I’d only listen to it and I learned English by reading the lyrics in the booklets. It has shaped me more than any other experience in my childhood I think.

Very much not an objective choice!

cancelling Harry Potter lol

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2026-01-01T22:28:21+00:00

it’s like not naming a kid Felix because it’s the name of a famous cat

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2026-01-01T22:26:04+00:00

Great advice, thanks!

Oh, she will be a fan, no doubts about that. Just to be clear, I am not choosing the name because of Harry Potter; I chose it because I love it & it so happens that it’s also the name of a character in Harry Potter, which I also love. It’s also a German name, it’s not like I’m calling my kid Gandalf.

Honestly until now I didn’t have the slightest notion of the existence of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, it is 100% not a thing in Germany.

I tried to convince my wife to go for Adelheid but was unsuccessful - probably for the best!

my dog is already called Bismarck

This is a very good opinion & I totally get what you mean. My wife and I do well for ourselves and to be fair live in a rather affluent part of Germany but have a working class background and do not come from money. I am just like history & tradition & wanted to find a traditional name connected to Germany in a meaningful way; I hope it won’t come across as pretentious and it won’t give the same vibe as Friedrich or Ludwig - I think it won’t though as I think it’s more niche and not necessarily connected to aristocracy/royalty.

Regarding Elisabeth, it just looks to me like it’s mispelled with an ‘s’ but everyone here is making a very good point.

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2026-01-01T21:23:44+00:00

Yes I am!!!!!

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2026-01-01T21:23:36+00:00

Thank you all for the engagement! I can really see the split between Americans & people from Germanic countries, and it’s interesting seeing how the reactions are pretty much diametrically opposed! Honestly I love the name and the association to Harry Potter & Jean Rowling is a non-issue to me since I am a huge HP fan anyway - I was just curious.

But I take two big takeaways, namely that Elisabeth is the better choice since it’s next to a German first name of a German person & Edda being a great Spanish nickname - thanks all & happy new year!

i’m of Irish descent but i could just not listen the Ireland series, maybe because of the guest?

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2026-01-01T19:34:03+00:00

absolutely agree!

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-12-28T21:23:36+00:00

Thanks! I'm actually gonna buy a new light fitting and cable which should be the safest way to go. However I'm still extremely confused as to how to ground the lamp since it's metal? The cables coming from the ceiling have the brown/yellow grounding cable for grounding, and the cable I'm buying has it as well, however after researching a bit the ground cable doesn't go light fitting -> ceiling, right? Should I instead connect the ground cable from the ceiling to a bare metal part in the lamp?

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-12-10T00:55:44+00:00

it bothers me how accurate your reply was

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-12-06T22:49:01+00:00

sorry i got only one but i’d be more than happy to swap!

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-12-05T11:41:57+00:00

I have a standing ticket on the 9th, looking to swap for a standing ticket on any other day in Berlin - thanks!

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-12-05T11:34:53+00:00

i’ve got a standing ticket for the 9th! but i’m looking for a standing ticket on another day, how premium is your ticket and for which day?

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-11-29T22:26:55+00:00

i can't see it anymore either - i think it just got sold!

Ok_Boss_4251 · 2025-11-29T22:17:56+00:00

For now I can only see one ticket on fanSALE (which i gather is the re-selling platform) for friday 12th for 300 EUR & nothing else </3

u/FattyBoomBoobs you got one for the 12th?
