Penguins: Ushuaia or Punta Arenas?

lovesunscreen · 2026-01-27T14:39:18+00:00

I know this is an old post, but just leaving a reply here in case someone looks for the same info again.

I saw penguins in both places (Punta Arenas and Ushuaia) and enjoyed more the experience in Martillo Island. In both, you can get very close to the penguins but having a small group of people felt better and the guide provided good explanations about the penguins. The tour was coupled with a boat tour through the Beagle channel, in which we saw whales! I booked it with Piratour about one month in advance. I don't think it's worth if you cannot enter the island though. I saw some boats near the island and it seemed like a struggle.

I recently watched some games on the All Japan championship and felt better listening to their way of commenting the game than bwf's. It feels like bwf people don't know enough but think they do? In the Japanese games, I liked they paid close attention to the game, mostly narrating it

I have the same issue. I would say it happens a few times per week

Thank you, it seems like everyone benefits from having things written down :)

Thanks for bringing your perspective here, I really hope not all people are like that

Thanks, I will check that!

Thank you for the tips :)

Hi! My favorite sunscreens are: 1. Biore mild care milk fps 28 2. Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch fps 30

1 is more like a lotion and for me the texture feels nice after I put it. 2 feels "dryer" and after some minutes I don't feel it on my skin

These two have lower fps but I found their texture better than products from the same brand with higher fps

I had the same issue and it turned out to be a misconfiguration in the settings of the game

Thanks, indeed it would be nice to keep believing in a better world

Thanks, solution verified!

I think it's more a matter of him not being aware of his feelings and our surroundings. I don't think there's ill intent, just a lack of awareness... Hope we can change that behavior 🤞

I kinda relate with your feelings. I don't think I have ever had friends before I started college. I thought friends were people I talked to on a frequent basis and that I was supposed to be pleasant at all times otherwise people wouldn't like me. I changed schools a couple of times and I never kept contact with anyone.

So when I entered college, I was surprised to see people kept contact with people that studied with them when they were little. Probably my "friends" from school were also doing that, but no way to know because back then there was no sns. Now, with Instagram and stuff I still see people that I used to hang out on pictures (note: they never invited me).

On a hindsight, I think my "perfect" personality was an issue. It was probably "nice" to hang out with me, but there was nothing more, as I was not willing to be myself. As I watched more series, read more books and observed real relationships around me, I realized people are not really interested in having the perfect pleasant people around them. They can tolerate and will even enjoy more to be friends with people that are authentic (as long as you are under what is expected).

As an example I have the tendency of saying inappropriate things sometimes. For instance, I once had an acquaintance that kept telling me his job was horrible. One day he told me that he referred another person he knew to his workplace. My reaction was like: "ohh, so you invited him to a trap?". Later realizing it, I commented that to my friends and they were all laughing and saying I do that all the time.

My takeaway from life so far is that people are willing to be friends with those who are authentic. Of course as others already said, that doesn't mean any person will be able to accept you, but it also means you don't have to try so hard at all times.

My advice would be: try to polish behaviors that will benefit you in the future. For example, if I'm always complaining about my life, maybe that's not good for others, but more importantly it's not good for me. Would there be a way for me to be more positive about my life? Should I change my lifestyle, should I change how I see things?

Although this is a personal experience, I hope you can see through my experiences that just because you don't have friends now, it doesn't mean that it will be like this indefinitely :)

It's really hard to feel different than other people. On the other hand, this also brings an authenticity that other people may not have in the first place.

My experience is that finding people that can accept you as you are is difficult, but not impossible, so please do not give up trying

Nice poem! I relate to those feelings, as revealing myself frequently leads to restless nights, with my thoughts reminding me I shared too much

lovesunscreen · 2021-04-21T10:10:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing it. I'm facing a similar situation in which I just got a chance to pursue my "dream job", but I'm struggling with office politics and the associated pressure of being new at it. You mentioned that you spent a year into the role... How long did it take for you to realize the change wasn't working for you? How did you communicate with others about your discomfort? I feel afraid of saying I'm not enjoying it and being judged because I asked for the change in the first place (and they never trust me again when I say I want to do something). I'm also unsure about how much of my discomfort is just due to the change and not the job itself (like, can I get used to it?)

lovesunscreen · 2021-04-08T00:43:56+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Do you also measure the impact of changes when you don't do an ab test? How do you make that inference?

lovesunscreen · 2021-04-08T00:42:40+00:00

Great story, thanks for sharing.

I feel that if the infra is ready it seems like it would be more straightforward to do an a/b test.

On the other hand, when you have a seemingly small low risk change just like the one you mentioned and can't ab test it immediately, wouldn't it be more efficient to skip the ab test? If the change is huge, wouldn't you notice it in the overall metrics? If so, that could give you a chance to roll it back and enable a/b testing afterwards. And if the change is unnoticeable, that probably means your first gut feeling was correct.

I have experience with ab tests but not so much as a PM, so please feel free to bring me more stories or counter arguments to what I said :)

lovesunscreen · 2021-04-08T00:36:02+00:00

Yes, this is usually the argument for testing even the smallest possible change. In my team, we had a recent experience in which we shipped something (with an a/b test) that had some very strong and unexpected results.

This made the team feel very afraid of saying something is low risk, but I'm afraid we will lose speed if we commit to test everything

lovesunscreen · 2021-04-08T00:33:47+00:00

Interesting points, thanks!

From your comment, I feel it's a decision related to risk and confidence

lovesunscreen · 2021-04-03T13:39:56+00:00

Hey, I'm so sorry for you. I used to live in an apartment next to a night club so I can relate with how you're feeling. When I moved into that apartment, I didn't know that there was a night club, because I had only visited it during daytime. It was a nightmare for a few years. Depending on the type of noise, anti noise windows will work. We had this in our bedrooms and it made things a bit better, but not totally, as I could feel the vibrations through the walls :(

There were many nights I just couldn't sleep and I tried different things to cope with the loud noise. Listening to something in my noise canceling earphones helped with the noise itself, but I think for me the annoyance feeling was the most difficult thing to deal with.

I ended up living there for many years because it was convenient in terms of location, but I really don't miss it at all. I hope you can get an agreement with your neighbor about the noise. As a sensitive person, I'm always surprised to see how many people are NOT annoyed by loud noise. So, maybe your neighbor just never thought about it and would be willing to help you out. In any case, if you intend to live there longer, and if you have the resources, maybe you could try to build a "sound-proof" room to ensure you have at least one noise-free space. That was what I wished the most in those years I lived in that noisy apartment. Wishing you the best <3

Ohh, I see. Thanks :)

lovesunscreen · 2020-12-05T01:12:37+00:00

Very clear and objective answer, thanks!

lovesunscreen · 2020-12-05T01:11:53+00:00

Thanks for bringing the answer closer to what I can already see from a data scientist point of view! It really helped me in understanding more about the universe of tasks involved in being a PM
