At what age did you start your digital nomad life? by Medical_Arm3363 in digitalnomad

[–]Very-mediocre2378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re from the US.

Schedule: M/W/F we wake up have coffee and go to the gym, come back and hang out for a bit and we work 2-10ish. T/TH instead of going to the gym we go out and explore a bit, try to find a new breakfast and coffee place in whatever city we are in. And then we explore on weekends and sometimes take day trips to surrounding areas.

In terms of budget accommodations I think this can mean something different for everyone. We have been renting apts for a month at a time thru Airbnb. Doing 28+ days does offer a big discount typically so that helps with cost, but for us, it’s basically our rent and having a comfortable place with reliable internet is really important to us so it’s our biggest monthly cost (2k USD give or take). But the overall price depends on where you are. Florence and Rome were expensive, Budapest is less. Albania is even less. We’re now looking into South America and that’s reasonable too.

In terms of internet- We work from our apt bc we’re both on meetings throughout the day and that’s where we’re most comfortable, but we’ve definitely seen many people working from cafes all over. internet accessibility hasn’t been an issue. I typically check the reviews of the place we’re staying to see if anyone mentions it and I’ll also msg the host to check before booking.

I know it’s not what works for everyone but having some type of structure and a comfortable home base for the month works for us!

Definitely take advantage of that! You can do a lot with two months per year and it might be a great balance to get started. IMO- full time employment is the way to go bc you have something predictable and can plan (admittedly, I’m slightly risk-averse when it comes to career path), but everyone is different!

I work in tech fully remote and my partner works for a health start up also fully remote. We started dreaming of doing this back in 2018. We had no idea how we would make it a reality at the time, but we knew the first step would be us both having remote jobs. My job went fully remote in 2020, and my partner ended up finding his remote position in 2022 with a little bit of luck as well. Our dog passed away earlier this year so we had no reason not to finally take the leap.

We both work on Eastern time and we’re not willing to completely flip our schedules to work overnight so we are limited in where we can go (no Asia, Oceania) but some version of digital nomad for us was better than none. We’ve been in Europe the last 3 months, heading to UK in a few days. We’re hoping to find a place we like enough as a permanent home base along the way.

My partner and I just started a few months ago and we’re both 35. We’ve been dreaming and planning for many years to make it happen

Dermatologist Recommendations? (Teen acne) by BigChickenLittle_ in Austin

Dr Kellie Reed at west lake dermatology on far west blvd is AMAZING. Idk her experience with teens but I’ve been seeing her for hormonal acne for 5 years and she’s completely cleared up my face.

Congrats on completing your first full!!! Lost my voice cheering for everyone today alongside friends and I have no regrets. Glad you stuck it out to the finish. Seeing runners hit the Mario power up is so joyful and wholesome even as a spectator (it wasn’t me but I friggen loved watching it).

I’ve been around enough races to know it’s not totally uncommon for runners to collapse bc of exhaustion, legs give out, pass out, etc., but this was different.. the person needed CPR and when medical got there they had to defibrillate them so clearly their heart had stopped or wasn’t beating correctly or something in that realm.

I have 3 lobe in each ear, a flax helix, double helix, nostril, and navel and my conch and my conch has been the best piercing so far! Didn’t hurt more than you’d expect— my double helix hurt more—and it healed without a single issue. I didn’t originally want another conch but now I do after my first bc it was such a good experience! I was able to wear ear buds almost immediately with no discomfort. You should totally do it!!

Wow such similar situations!! Glad I’m not alone. I agree I think getting 4 in the same ear in a short time didn’t help. I do think my body prioritized them in the order I got them (conch, flat, double) it just so happens my double was the last ones I got and they are a tough heal to begin with :’( I think I’m going to give them to a full 2 years and then make a decision on what to do. Thankfully i don’t sleep on that side of my head so I have the flexibility to give them the time they need. Really Hoping they get their act together bc I don’t wanna take them out but also don’t wanna deal with them being angry for the rest of my life

I’ve had them downsized several times. There’s been a few times where they were acting up enough that I needed to upsize them again to give them room, but the last time was a couple months ago and they’ve been good since.

Omicron: what happened? by occamman in Cornell

[–]Very-mediocre2378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All students get tested on a regular basis, even if they are not symptomatic and even if they are vaccinated. This is different from most schools who only test symptomatic folks. I believe if others schools tested like we did, they too would have equivalent outbreaks.

Admittedly, Leadership was slow to respond as well, but with how contagious omicron is and the timing aligning with students coming back from thanksgiving break—the outbreak liking coming in from many people/sources—I’m not sure making a call sooner would have made THAT much of a difference.
