    Relocation to Spain Experience

    Reading is generally easy, i just read the most of my news in french. On a phone this is nice because i can just highlight a word or phrase to get a translation, bit that is rarely an issue these days. The real challenge is fluid conversation . Listening is incredibly challenging. I try to...

    Relocation to Spain Experience

    Language learning is really difficult as it requires commitment . You can't passively learn a language just by living abroad, and you don't progress at 10mins of Duolingo a day.

    Joining a startup

    This is a very ear.y stage start up so don't expect a high salary, any security but try and negotiate a decent share and see what happens in a year. 75K after tax is likely far too much for this stage. Also things like requesting 6 month notice might not have much weight. It is normal for a...

    Norovirus, whos had it?

    A few years back, but basically as you said. Both ends continuously emptying, no food intake foe a week, went from about 64kg to 58kg and no energy for a month. I still have vivid memories of dragging myself to the toilet and not knowing to vomit or spray paint out my backside first and...

    Bst should be kept permanently.

    No, sunrise at 5am is perfect to wake up and get things done before work. Daylight past 8pm is just pointless

    Bst should be kept permanently.

    BST/DST is horrific, dark mornings are so depressing after you've been getting used to the lighter mornings. It ruins productivity and is in general very depressing.

    The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

    The problem with Tesla's FSD is that 6-7 years ago they were behind most of the competitors yet Musk was saying they were a year behind full public release and charging Tesla customers crazy amounts for a promised imminent FSD.
