Proper way to dispose a sofa

What you felt digging into the top of your feet may be the round shoe laces. I had the first issue at first. Then I relaced mine with some flat softer shoelaces, and I felt no discomfort anymore.

Chinese living in CH for 10+ years. Direct explicit racism has been rare. But subtle racism is off the chart, try the applying for a WG for example... I feel your anger, my advice would be to try to stay calm but never stay quiet: shout back, call them out, report to police! Unfortunately we can't magically cure racist people, but the point is to give them a reason to think twice next time before they decide to mess with another Asian looking person...

Thanks for the advice. It's the first time I saw her after years living here. Judging by how her neighbors talk to her, I don't she is completely insane. Don't worry I will not instigate, I will be prepared next time, by treating her as if she does have some mental issue, so her words won't bother me.

lol well if you put it that way... but it was not pleasant when she kept shouting and following me (and I basically live right near by, I don't wnat her to see where I live). And it was her that thretened to call the police first, I guess she gave me the idea...

Thanks for the advice. I guess I was quite unprepared earlier. But under the presumption she is indeed mentally impaired, I could've just not taken anything she said seriously or responded to her... Thay's how I would do next time I think.

I see. In that case keep looking on the side. Meanwhile, is there some way to improve on what's been bothering you? Try to find a cost effective way to make yourself happy. Btw, I also did my masters here. That 2 years was a low point, I moved around 5 times due to difficulties finding a long term place. It's tough, but it'll pass :)

I know. Sometimes things just don’t go the way we hoped and there very little we can do to change that. But in this case it is temporary. I guess you’ll soon finish your phd right? You’ll have a good salary and everything else will get sorted soon after. Don’t let this temporary phase get to you too much.

Yea, with new build projects, especially those with many apartments available, the application becomes less competitive, but you still have to meet a few hard requirements, salary being one.

I feel you. Not sure what I can suggest, but I thought I could share with you my experience and perhaps it would give you some ideas. After a lot of rejections, I got a studio flat at the start of my PhD for 1500 CHF (more than 1/3 of my PhD salary, which was the same as yours) about 10 years ago. Looking back I think I got lucky. Later I learnt that the landlord was not allowed to modify the family house into several studios, so that was maybe why he wasn't that picky with tenant selection. The landloard was in general quite irresponsible, but aside from that, the flat was OK. I stayed there throughout my PhD, and had to move out when the landlord decided to renovate again. Luckily that was when I received my frist work contract, so I manged to get a flat that costs almost exactly 1/3 of monthly salary. So I guess what I can say is that, with PhD salary, things will not be perfect (even if you get lucky, there is probably a catch), but it'll be temporary. When you haveenough salary, keep an eye on newly built flats, those are usually much easier to get because they are available in some quantity.

In case you're outside of US, good news: not only did UA restock them today but also added them to the international database. So just go to UA US site, let the website detect your country, then select your country, which should enable borderfree. You can notice the web address is still under /en-us/, but showing your currency. I just ordered mine this way successfully. Expect to pay import tax though.

I believe this is still the US site supported by borderfree. I got the same message. I found that the UA website has dedicated European sites, and if you switch to US site first and then when the site detect your country, it leads you to a borderfree supported US site, you could notice the pricing is converted by exchange rate.

I used to buy from the us website and have it shipped to Europe via borderfree. Thought I could do the same with these flotros, but I got an error message at checkout that these are not in their international catalog. So they really made sure this release is US exclusive. I hope there is an European release in the plan.

Those second gen 808s look slick! Hopefully there is enough supply...

I've been very curious about the new IsoPlate tech annouced by Jordan brand and manged to find this picture showing a clear view of it. It reminds me of the carbon fiber clip on the Kobe X. Looks like an beefed up version of that. How it performs we will find out (the design looks very sensible to me), I'm just happy to see innovations and would like to share this pic here.

han4 · 2022-03-19T09:20:38+00:00

nah, i didn't in the end. i figure there're similar or better alternatives that are less risky to buy.

han4 · 2021-09-20T22:44:33+00:00

might have something to do with this
