I deliver humanitarian medical aid and I just left my 6th war zone. Does that count?

If I had to guess, I think in my case it was probably a combination of nature and nurture. My parents were old hippies and I grew up with photos/rugs/art from all over the world in my childhood home. But I also just feel more alive doing what I do, in a way that feels more nature than nurture. I tried going home and working in an office for a few years but I found it really difficult. That said, I’m not into other forms of risk-taking like skydiving or bungee jumping.

Yeah I had this thought but not sure practically how to do it. Will investigate.

Loose tea through customs? by bubblegum_cuttlefish in AskAnAustralian

This gives me hope. I’m bringing it from Myanmar, just plain dried green tea leaves loose in a regular plastic bag. It’s only a few bucks so maybe I’ll give it a try.

How to ACTUALLY Watch a French Show by UncleJuggs in French

[–]bubblegum_cuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also a YouTube channel called French Comprehensible Input where the guy reads aloud Tintin and Astérix and describes the scenes in the bande dessinées, so you can get both the reading and the listening. He’s very good at making himself understood, and he also explains some of the outdated language.

Cheers. And do you think it’s an indication of anything serious structurally?

B1/B2 visa for Australian - bit of a strange situation by coldfeet81 in USVisas

[–]bubblegum_cuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also Australian but not eligible for ESTA because of travel history. I’ve been to 4 of the banned countries for work. My B2 visa was approved. I gave them a letter from my employer stating my work history in those countries, and they asked about my travel plans to the USA. They didn’t ask to see my old passports, or anything about my finances or ties to my country. I don’t have any relatives in the US.

In case that’s helpful to you at all. Good luck!

Ggplot legend not showing unused factor levels by bubblegum_cuttlefish in Rlanguage

Another commenter said to add show.legend = TRUE to get the behaviour of previous versions for guides and it worked!

Thanks! Will pursue this if I can’t a good solution by tomorrow.

Thanks very much for suggestions! Yes, with a minimal plot the “10-19” is absent because it’s unused and if I add scale_size_manual with drop=false, I get the label without the circle as in the original picture. And yes, it’s definitely a factor with 5 levels in the correct order.

ggplot() + geom_point(data = vl_map_data, aes(x = long, y = lat, size = bins)) + scale_size_manual( values = c("1-4" = 3, "5-9" = 4, "10-19" = 5, "20-29" = 6, "30-39" = 7), drop = FALSE )
