I’m convinced my old company was complicit in this to some degree. It was a start up with absolutely silly funding for a bunch of products (b2c and b2b) that were aimed to hoover up personal information under the guise of gaming.

For some reason we were told to start an office in Tel Aviv and to specifically hire devs from unit 8200.

I was born in Austria but raised in America and it’s really embarrassing how often this conversation played out.

I’m an American living in Europe for almost 10 years and haven’t been stateside since like 2018. I’ve been homesick a lot recently, but I’m trying to come to terms that there’s a real chance I’m never going back.

And let me guess, the Russians who fled to America to claim asylum will have their cases expedited and approved.

Yeah I don’t find the polyend that inspiring either. Software is pretty janky (stereo sampling but I can’t play samples in mono???), song mode is pretty shit, etc

I’ll look into the teensy option but I need to have something mobile as my life is quite nomadic. I got invited to buy a woovebox so I might do that

I thought they were talking about me and my polyend tracker mini

Wish I got the M8 though

If, after having been in someone’s presence, you feel like you’ve lost a quart of plasma - avoid that presence.

That goes for online communities too.

Your best bet is to go through companies that are interesting relevant and find someone who is a hiring manager or has something in common with you. Once you find them, send them a nice LinkedIn message explaining how much you love the company/product/culture and if they are interested in having a coffee chat.

Basically, you gotta get past the gate keepers (recruiters) and you’ll find things open up. Most recruiters are fucking shit (especially at mega corps) and are just looking to check boxes. Go around them.

Source: I’m a tech recruiter whose moved from America (at the start of trump’s first term) to multiple European countries without a plan in place.

P.s. have a look at the Netherlands, there’s a lot of need for talent and quite a few companies will sponsor if you meet the income reqs.

The Helios 44 58/f2 should be on here as well, but that’s one of the more obvious options.

I actually just bought a speed booster to get rid of the crop factor on my aps-c Sony a6000, really excited to try it out and get more of that swirly bokeh.

I love the neck-thru design, how does she play?

I’ve always wanted a Peavey, especially a Peavey foundation, but I live in Europe now and they’re not common over here.

Real Estate is dope though

I thought it was just me! I almost never have BO, unless I’m wearing polyester. Sitting for 8 hours in a football shirt is like equivalent to me not showering for a week.

I don’t understand it.

I was just on the Turkish coast and to my surprise, I found an ING atm. “Sweet, its my bank so I shouldn’t have any fees!” I said to my boat driver (who only speaks Turkish).

They charged me like 3%.

Nts.live Internet Radio made by music nerds and I love it

Well that one is a baritone (26.5" or 27" scale) but still pretty thin (about as thick as the typical strat) and ergonomic.

My other guitar, a 1960s teisco, is one of the lightest guitars I’ve ever owned:

I’m gonna modify this one though and put a tuneomatic on here, the intonation is quite terrible.

They also feel…worse? Jumbo frets, thick coats of polyurethane, cheap pickguards, plastic pickup covers, etc — yuck.

I’ve been buying weirdo vintage guitars (teisco, musima) and they feel way better in my hands. The pickups are usually pretty low output, yeah, but the cleans sound so so good.

And that quite a lot of Ukrainians support Israel and don’t see the similarities between their struggle and the Palestinian’s — I don’t get it.

E: and to the down voters, I am Ukrainian diaspora and lived in Kyiv until the war and visit regularly. I have these conversations frequently when I’m there.

This is called “double tap strike” and was a tactic used frequently during the American invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan. They learned from the best, unfortunately.

I think this is likely just some political theater to shut France up. They’ll find him guilty, and then sentence him to house arrest where he can relax in his beach side mansion (it’s very nice btw)
