As a donor I had to spend some amount of time finding where to donate, that could be more explicit

I feel like you paid a lot for that SSD, I think I bought 1TB for 150€ at about that time. Still, prices now are great

Regular occurence as a fullstack dev

me: “I make websites”

Them: “What kind of websites ?”

me: “All kinds”

They don’t need to know about the rats answering queries in the back-end

One of my first internet experience was on a forum for a kid tv channel. There was a point system where posting a message would give you a point and certain amount of points would grant you ranks. I discovered that sending private messages also counted and clicking space repeatedly when submitting a message would multiply the message and the points. I am sorry to whoever received thousands of mps every single day back then but I had a lot of fun increasing that rank.

That may also explain why I still like incremental games nowadays

Living in different countries made me realize how little people usually know about others. I like to remind people that calling things “strange”, “weird” or saying “Nobody would do xyz” is often wrong and people just a flight away actually find this normal

Still in that country I worked for a company made of 100% foreigners. When I joined the boss took me under his wing and try teaching me the ways in this country and how to get sh*t done. It took a disagreement on product roadmap for me to realize that he was not technically good, he was actually racist and I definitely didn’t want him as a role model. Now I’m extra careful on seeing the signs early

In France tap water is drinkable and good almost anywhere, the exceptions being in some cities during drought or due to unusual pollution. I actually dislike most mineral bottled water because I find it tastes like something.

I used to live in Thailand, while the authorities say the water is good you’ll likely get sick if you drink water straight from the tap. I used to buy my water from a filtering machine near my condo.
