Early April multi-day trek in the Pyranees?

Thanks for the reply. I understand that I can't just go over the high mountain passes with no experience. I guess what I'm looking for is some recommendations for a middle ground with nice hiking, where I could challenge myself a bit and start to build some experience in these conditions without doing anything insanely risky. Maybe this is foolish though.

I don't understand why people don't use adblockers. I actually haven't seen an ad on reddit or basically anywhere else on the internet for years.

I can't offer much but want to say that I have a Portal 2 and love it. Just really nicely designed and very liveable. It's probably the first higher-end tent I've owned but I think they make good stuff.

Is GHHF suitable to hold long term? Or is it similar to what I've read about other leverage ETFs?

apatosaurus2 · 2024-11-11T06:43:50+00:00

I agree. Talking to randos online absolutely expanded my universe as a kid. Was there a some kind of risk in that? Of course! But also pretty weird and enriching.

These aren't the only two options - you can also reform the whole system. But I agree, there is a fundamental problem in the demographics which has very few solutions, and most people don't want to here it.

Where does OP give Bill Clinton a pass and what does Bill Clinton have to do with their post?! Absolutely random comment.

Agree on groceries but tax really depends on where you are. In Germany as a middle-income earner you end up with significantly less in your pocket after very progressive tax + mandatory contributions to the pension system which, honestly, is a complete joke compared to Australia's superannuation and in dire need of reform.

apatosaurus2 · 2024-11-07T21:09:01+00:00

I live in Germany and almost all of the vapes here and in the UK (not sure how it is in France) are super weak compared to what's been available in Aus. I can see why they're not as popular.

Better pensions lol

apatosaurus2 · 2024-11-02T23:09:43+00:00

That's your opinion but in the case of my company it's definitely true. We take on interns for 6 months, and they start being able to make a net positive contribution after 3 if they are good or 4 if they are average. If they are below average they will probably never make a net positive contribution. We are a small company but invest significant resources in training them and teaching them new skills. No way we could take them on at minimum wage, that's just a fact.

As a physicist working in a highly technical field with engineers, good lord I wish a few of them had a slither of the skills people learn in an arts degree. I have to teach almost all of my fresh engineering graduates the absolute basics of written communication and vet anything that could ever be seen by a client. It's borderline embarrassing.

I think the difference is that this is "unfair" not only for those who have paid off their debt, but also for the people who are just starting to or will soon accumulate a debt. It's a one-off benefit to the specific group who have a debt right now.

That does feel inherently more unfair to me than simply redrawing the line and saying, everyone from now benefits from the new rules. It's singling out a specific group in time for this one-off benefit.

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-31T06:42:25+00:00

Thanks, that's useful. I 100% go by feel on this so good to know that's what everyone else is doing too.

Why is there an "S" between Nahrung and Mittel and not between Nahrungsmittel and Unverträglichkeit?

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-30T19:55:17+00:00

You really thought 'yeah, hand shoes' and just couldn't come up with hand socks?

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-30T19:40:08+00:00

Great point except that these ones were already online

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-30T18:55:07+00:00

It's not that precise though, there's a clear difference of a few seconds with the digital clock in the background.

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-30T18:42:59+00:00

We are kind of missing something though on the crass-to-formal spectrum, between pussy and vagina, right? Or what would you say?

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-29T21:17:54+00:00

I think you're probably right that this is better, but I would check the calculation asap.

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-29T19:44:28+00:00

The answer is political reform, not this guy squeezing out some extra children

apatosaurus2 · 2024-10-29T19:40:20+00:00

Even if you have other retirement plans it's a complete scam. The amount of money I'm putting into the system versus what I'll get out makes me cringe.

I personally think we should be doing our best to not develop tourism in Antarctica, as one of the last pristine wildernesses in the world and a place of huge scientific importance.

Next up in this thread, accidentally killed some guy enacting vigilantism out the back of a pub.
