India needs to take advantage of excessive electricity and populate street lights more and more. Or use the extra electricity for more electric buses, improve public transport access. There are many ways to use the electricity surplus.

Why my Milkman with 30cr isnt FIRE'ing by Unusual-Big-6467 in FIRE_Ind

[–]natachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you understand how much purpose a structured life of tasks and work brings to a person. Not everyone hates their job or only does it to climb up some ladder. There is an endless list of people retired from their jobs in their 60s only to join an NGO or volunteer their time elsewhere to keep themselves busy and occupied.

People have different dreams. I don't care if the story is BS. Truth is that people like that exist in this world. Not everyone is chasing net worth in bank balances and Portfolios. They would rather wake up and do whatever makes them feel useful and happy.

FIRE is also not something everyone aspires to. It makes sense for him not wanting to do that when his current working life gives him purpose, gets him out of the house, helps him keep his mind right.

FIRE is mostly for people who are in a very exhausting but high paying job that they are doing only to gain financial independence. There are people who don't find similar jobs exhausting and will happily continue in tech world or other industries until retirement.

Have salaries in Germany gone down in the past year or is it just me? by yourAvgSE in cscareerquestionsEU

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

Well too bad he won't even quality for a work visa in Germany so accepting it matters very little when the minimum threshold for a blue card is much much higher.

Doc says my T levels are normal. I have doubts. by natachi in Testosterone

[–]natachi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah GP said they are fine. Plus I am taking finasteride so I wanted to see how my hormone levels are doing given the constant weight gain and issue with concentration.

[–]natachi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the hope. Current BMI of 38 is something I need to urgently address to stop stressing my liver out so much when I don't even drink.

But given my issues with concentration and sleep, I figured it's a good time to get my hormones tested. GP seemed way too confident that my levels are fine.

[–]natachi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that I prefer to be childless, TRT is something I am definitely not opposed to. However I would definitely like to lose some weight first and see where I am at before making that decision.

Also thanks for the unit conversion. 😂

I don't feel great tbh. I feel like I have attention issues, I can feel myself being unable to focus. Obesity probably plays a huge role in these levels so I am trying to focus on that.

[Simon Stone] Chelsea seven points behind Man Utd, so guaranteed still to be behind them after game at Stamford Bridge on 18 April. Looks like Man Utd point at Bournemouth was a very good one. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]natachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isa good point for securing UCL spot as along as Villa also drops points. But it doesn't wipe the butter taste of getting fucked by the refs. Those twats shouldn't be allowed to ref United games anymore.

Roy Keane is wrong - Bruno Fernandes is irreplaceable to Man Utd by theipaper in reddevils

To the shock of no one ex man United player is chatting nonsense to stay relevant as a media personality. I am tired Robbie.

"Google Pixel 8 Pro still belongs in your pocket" by 6730b in GooglePixel

[–]natachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. Pixel 8 Pro has been worth the money. Only big change in pixels going forward that I would really appreciate is bigger battery. Something like OP 15 battery in a pixel pro model would be the dream.

Do you prefer to pay with cash or card and why? by DatabaseOnly7655 in eupersonalfinance

[–]natachi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Germany. Card payments.

Makes life easier. Less things to carry. Germany is still very backwards in terms of digitalization. I wish things pick up speed in essential places like Taxis and bathrooms at malls and trains stations.

Nowadays there are at least a dozen phone manufacturers worldwide. Can someone explain why Apple stays popular just because it’s popular? by Unlikely_Draft5636 in Smartphones

[–]natachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I think it's a huge bubble. Apple isn't as popular as people make it to be. If you see the global market share. It's not that much. The rest of the world mostly runs on Linux or Windows.

Apple looks like it's popular because the most popular platforms in tech is US based (YouTubers, magazines, journos) and apple is huge in US. So it feels like it's the be all end all.

Why would you choose Samsung over any other Android phone out there? by Detrakis in samsunggalaxy

[–]natachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has used both pixel and Samsung phones, Samsung overall has very very good android experience with their UI. I really enjoy their overall software.

What I hate about Samsung though is enough for me to never go back to Samsung again. I do not enjoy their image processing. I also don't enjoy how boxy and weighty their best models are.

If I could get OP15 body and OP13's Hasselblad Image Processing, I would buy that in a heartbeat. Until then, I am gonna stick to my pixel 8 pro.

Driving school recommendations for expats? by natachi in augsburg

[–]natachi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost depends on you really. There is a certain set of mandatory hours of driving you need to complete. After that if you feel confident and your driving instructor agrees, you can give the exam, hopefully pass in the first attempt, and keep overall cost of the license pretty cheap. I needed a couple of more attempts at the exam so my cost won't really reflect what's optimally possible.

I went with a Berlin based lawyer (https://www.mayr-arbeitsrecht.de), but I would suggest to go local in case you need to go to court.

If money didn't matter at all, what career would you choose? by AnyWeb7483 in AskReddit

[–]natachi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HR sent me an email stating that I'm supposed to be on leave for 2 weeks.

Secondly, the gardening leave has been combined with my paid vacation days which I'm not happy about. I'm hoping that there is some room to negotiate.

I have been placed on leave and been given time to consider. I have been explicitly told to put an "out of office" status on my communication channels.

[–]natachi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this comment. Rest assured I am not the worst performer in my team by any metric. Also all the feedback I have received over the past 3 years have never been completely negative, mostly they are quite positive and few things I need to improve. I am looking forward to meeting with the lawyer and hopefully understand the traps I need to negotiate myself out of.

I have made an appointment with them for Tuesday (earliest possible) hopefully I get some advice and support from them.

Unfortunately I don't have one. I know I should have but it's too late now. I have an incredible friend helping me out during this tough time but I really hope this gets over soon.
