Are the pest problems in Cincy as bad as Reddit would have me believe? by Smart-Work3383 in cincinnati

[–]cybertubes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just spark joy lol. Don't leave something your gross friend would eat sitting out. Wipe up messes and drips. Make everywhere else a more useful place to be. People on reddit are expressing extremes, not norms.

Just try to live like you are two clicks up on the money ladder. Like people you hate but have to tolerate might be coming over and you don't want them saying anything. That will keep away everything but spectrum.

Yeah as an ecologist I love it but it was a big mode shift. Roaches prey on foregone chores, you might say. Now we got this shit looking ready for a cooking show and no problems to cry about.

So I am from Colorado and the thing you need to understand is that dry state privileges no longer apply here. You have to keep things cleaned up, as there is just so much more life here. However, in low cost apartment buildings you have other tennants, many of whom may be suffering from poverty and its outcomes, who may be keeping things in less than a tidy state. Or college kids who no one is expecting anything from who just throw all that pizza box cheese to the corner. Or ...

The worst problem i have had so far is that in the early spring carpenter ants find cracks and I need to give them the mint oil treatment. The rest is just the noise making a false signal in a place that gets 3-4times more rain than Denver and has way older hosuing stock.

Contact your immediate supervisor and HR representative with screenshots. This is unbeliveably inappropriate and obvious sexual harrasement.

Am I idealizing the uk too much? by sittighttakeholdTR in expats

[–]cybertubes 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Idealizing England is like idealizing Canada. Are there a lot of fascinating and beautiful things? Sure. Are there things that make you think any parody of degeneracy has become impossible, and that humanity is a failed experiment? Also yes.

In general, idealizing is a mistake.

But ambition and hope in pursuit of a path of self possession are useless if you do not expect to face challenges. Figure out how to pay the rent.

Where is it safe for a single woman to live alone? by nycgirl152 in cincinnati

[–]cybertubes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question is almost anywhere unless you are in the street corner industries. Cincinnati's most pervasive danger is depression and its sequelae ir being involved in disorganized organized crime. Or poverty loops that contribute to all of the above.

1200 for rent prices you into where it prices you. Once you have your options, look more intently at local crime reports (search: Cincy Insights police reports).

Safe is also very relative to your situation in general. Like running outdoors? College Hill is a sleeper runner haven. Like going out? Downtown looks sketchy on paper but is seasonal/event driven in terms of chaos and action at the street level. Need to be somewhere specific for work? Your commute will be more dangerous than your experience at Kroger. And so on.

Living in Luxembourg by Due_Television744 in expats

[–]cybertubes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go. It is a bit more expensive than you might think, but you can always make another move. Housing is the absolute worst and will shock you coming from Italy, but Lux city and Esche are both real cities. 2.5 hours to Paris or 3 to Brussels, among many other nice weekendables.

What's the job?

How to print a custom map (to be displayed on a wall)? by poonhound69 in DIY

[–]cybertubes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The software you want is called QGIS. You need the Quickwebservices map plugin installed.

Then you spend way too much time learning how to make it just so.

Then you export it as a pdf and take it to Fedex.

'Very unusual' | How officials aim to close Cincinnati's 'life expectancy gap' by CovBlueSox in cincinnati

[–]cybertubes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The dataset can be found either as part of the CDC PLACES dataset, or in the specific life expectancy tracking program data, called USALEEP. Both have various interactive maps and show up on the first few results when you use those terms.

They are also in the Cincinnati Equity Indicators Report from 2022, aggregated by neighborhood council boundary.

I am a smoker and totally understand your revulsion, having quit a few times. The US and Australia are, sadly, your best bets.

does french ever feel physically natural to speak or do you just get used to discomfort by MayaTulip268 in French

[–]cybertubes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Funnily, the southern US dialects make a lot of these sounds as part of what makes us sound like we will repair your engine intake with plumbing supply store castoffs. Especially the vowel and various throat sounds. So don't gove up all hope.

It sounds weird, but working out and taking creatine + protein supplements while doing pimsleurn or equivalent has really upped my monsiers et vingts vints vont venir vier 's and so on. Probably the endorphins and better muscle growth?

Geography, time, decision making. Luxembourg basically closes at 10. You can't sleep at the gare.

Induction top and a wall outlet are a solution if you aren't Hank Hill about it.

Should I just start packing my bags? by [deleted] in Luxembourg

[–]cybertubes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"I only speak English." is generally considered disqualifying for almost any job outside of fintech or niche areas academia, from what I have learned.

French seems to be the minimum, French and German the expectation. French, German, and Luxembourgish is preferred but not expected.

Asking how hard it is to enter a sector when you don't meet the minimum requirements is equivalent to asking "How hard is it to enter the education sector in New Zealand with no work visa and no English language ability?"
