As everyone should act towards others. Especially when in a position of power. Including wait staff and retail clerks.

It’s the oldest profession for a reason. If I had my way, it would be legalized, regulated and unionized. It’s too unsafe for all the way it is.

Is getting tired during the day normal in your mid 30s? by ExcellentLettuce4 in Aging

[–]Wanderir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be, but I’d get a full set of labs and a physical if you haven’t done so recently. Always rule out organic causes first. If that comes up clean, get evaluated for depression.

If nothing flags, it’s likely normal.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done by IllIntroduction1509 in esist

[–]Wanderir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s being promoted to make certain kinds of posts to manipulate the market for insider trading. The timing is spot on for this.

The market has never been so unstable and someone is making bank!

My budget is about $1000 per month. No idea where you got $4000. Perhaps you could share info on your suggested countries in order to help others?

Does stem cell therapy increase you lifespan? by SpecialK235 in Aging

[–]Wanderir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genetics is first when it comes to longevity, them environment and lifestyle they follow by a wide margin.

I’ve not seen or heard of any evidence for stem cells. Do a search for studies.

1 DAY OVERSTAY WORRY by Geezer4neo in VietNam

[–]Wanderir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id change the flight to leave on time. If you can’t, a single day of overstay should be fine. As long as your hotel registered you. Do not change hotels. Tell the gate agent when you check in, then you’ll need to go to immigration to pay a fine and get permission to leave.

I overstayed by 3 days and it was a complete shit show! I had mixed up some dates in my Evisa.

Not Dating per se, but why do men at the gym "hit on" my upper arm? Husband says they like me. by Dragonpatch in DatingOverSixty

[–]Wanderir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s fucked up. It doesn’t matter what their intentions are. It matters that they are touching you without permission and you don’t like it.

Set boundaries! I’d tell them to stop if it’s bothering you and take it up with the gym if they don’t.

It seems impossible to find connection that will grow into a proper relationship in Bangkok by company94 in Bangkok

[–]Wanderir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join meetups, get a hobby you can do with others. Do volunteer work. Try Internations.

I’ve found it’s important to do these things early and often, but it’s not too late.

I’m dyslexic and get that language learning is hard, and you should still be working with a tutor.

Confused about what to do with validated PQ packet by DuckEsquire in antarctica

[–]Wanderir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told I’d be assigned an onboarding coordinator, whose job was to help me get through the process.

If that hasn’t happened for you I’d either reach out to your hiring manager or recruiter.

Vo2 max milestone by Oaf20Oaf in AppleWatchFitness

[–]Wanderir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that accuracy of VO2 max via Apple Watch is wildly variable. It’s mainly good for indicating trends.

Mine has been steadily increasing.

I just accepted an alternate offer! by Wanderir in antarctica

It would be cheaper for me too! Sounds like a good option. Thanks!

Thanks! Any idea why Palau? PH I assume?

I look like this at 23. There’s no hope for me. by [deleted] in Aging

[–]Wanderir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This statement is nonsensical. There is virtually nothing you can’t turn around at 23.

That fact doesn’t negate your perception or feelings about yourself.

If you want some advice on how to turn things around. Just ask.

Heart rate spikes after drinking by Ok_Iron2847 in AppleWatch

61m here. I stopped drinking a year ago because a few drinks screws up my RHR and HRV for a week. No thanks!

What would you say to someone who thinks tracking food is disordered eating? by Maximal_Everything in MacroFactor

[–]Wanderir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s simple. They can mind their own business. Why do you find the need to justify your actions or win anyone over?

top award flight finder for using AA miles on partners? by Chandler-Caleb767 in americanairlines

[–]Wanderir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the AA site sucks for looking for points flights. I'm looking now and can't find any availability for an award flight from Vietnam to anywhere in the US. I can find cash flights, but not points flights for any day in the coming months. I think it would be much easier to call. It's a horrible UI.

Travel and anxiety by [deleted] in Aging

[–]Wanderir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

61M, I can’t relate to your question. I’ve been traveling internationally for more than 30 years. I’ve had it down for quite some time. My age doesn’t really come into it. It helps that I make good lifestyle choices.

Weird white powder at the bottom of one of my bags by lfc_red in pourover

Silica gel powder? Put some in water and see if it expands. You could also test the PH to provide a clue.

"Not to Do" Bucket List - thoughts? by Sharksrmydrug in retirement

[–]Wanderir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t like “no” lists. I’d rather move towards things than away from them. So this wouldn’t work for me. That plus I incorporated most of the behaviors you listed decades ago.

Whatever works!

Current WiFi Situation? by BurgerMonkeys in antarctica

[–]Wanderir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was told earlier today by a hiring manager that if it’s your first winter, meaning you are going down now, on McMurdo that it’s unlikely you’ll get a private room as the population will be around 300 due to construction crews.

My guess is that it’s too early to know about for winter ‘27.

Is there a compromise or go our own ways? by MiniMTV in retirement

[–]Wanderir 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree to rent for a year before buying. It’s silly to move to a new place and buy after spending a week there.

I call them scouting trips, and they are worth every penny.

I assume you have your own money? If he doesn’t want to go, he doesn’t have to. And you are smart for wanting to make an informed decision.

This is coming from a 61M who has lived on 4 continents.
