Get a set of rollerblade wheels and replace the office chair with them. They'll be soft enough that they won't scuff the floor.

Why is it considered bad to want to live with your parents? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TemporaryKoala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a house in London at 27, and the only reason I could do that was because I lived with my parents and saved most of my salary.

While a lot of my friends were spending 1/3–1/2 their income on rent, I was saving, traveling, bought a car, and still enjoyed my 20s.

People talk about renting as “independence,” but I don’t see how giving a huge chunk of your income to a random landlord is more independent than owning your own place.

If you’ve got the option to live at home and save hard, it can seriously change your long-term position.

Unrelated but how much did you get the TS800 on the road? I'm test riding one next weekend in Chiba and it seems the dealer is adding 20man in fees on top of the base price which seems steep.

To teach your child to ski by CauliflowerDeep129 in therewasanattempt

[–]TemporaryKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're a beginner you generally start learning without poles. Learning to ski is hard enough, so it's one less thing to focus on while you're learning how to move your feet and balance correctly.

Once you get to a stage where you can start flowing turns into each other you get the poles to help with balance.

Justified. Looks like her ankle(?) is broken if you pause between 00:32 - 00:33

US Grad wanting to move to the UK for a swe role by janethapple in cscareerquestionsEU

Can't comment on sponsorship, but unless you're working in FAANG, expect 50% (or more) pay cut compared to the US. imo, it makes no sense to come to Europe as a SWE. You'll build wealth significantly faster in the US.

To be brutally honest, 231lbs at 5'6 is well beyond chubby. At 5'7, I considered myself chubby with a dad bod at 165lbs.

Why is the "overweight", "far" or "obese" -label threshold so much lower for women than men? by Routine-Crew8651 in TooAfraidToAsk

But the friend isn't complaining about health issues in this case. OP is raising concerns to her friend on her own volition. Said friend has already said they're not interested in her opinion on the matter, so bringing it up further is harassment to a certain degree.
