I'm portuguese, so don't take this as a jab, but cafes are also notorious for tax evading, specially on the single coffee or 2 beers kind of bills. I have two very good friends that own cafes here (which seem to work…
You see it all around Europe as well. I live in a touristy area and Germans, English, French and Spanish are guilty of this as well. Right now I'm working from a restaurant and would say 1/4 of the people are looking at…
As a former boxer, I believe that there are a few body types that are well suited for boxing (and different types fit different styles) the same way in soccer you want different types/skills for a goalkeeper and a…
How much is the Model 3 in europe? Not trying to start a pissing match, but at least in my country, 30-40% of the car price is taxes that don't exist in the US. If you compare prices, make sure the Model 3 + all taxes…
I have a Porsche Hybrid. Except for the green outlines, noone knows it is an hybrid. Porsche has a racing EV and a lot R&D into EVs. if They release a full EV PAnamera or Cayenne, noone will know except for the small…
Thanks so much. She is very driven and smart, and knowing her, she does have a good analytical mind, but since she was young, she was pushed more to humanistic areas and never really focused on IT/Math, etc. But I've…
Thanks. I run a consultancy business and she can intern/learn with me. That isn't the problem. Is actually finding resources for her to start from zero. Where we live there aren't really any bootcamps. Was looking more…
Mind sharing your recommendations for your friend? I have a friend in a similar position that asked me for help but I'm a bit at lost on what to recommend her. I've been a professional developer for over 20 years. I…
In Portugal. Called Escola Moderna (Modern School). not sure if this is a more national methodology or international. The main idea of the kids learning is through experimenting with things. They are also VERY keen on…
I did something similar for my kids class (mix between 3 to 5 year olds). The first thing I did was make a game in Unity (very simple, no death just collect things) that featured their faces and school uniform (had…
I'll be honest and say I haven't bought any in a while, but I always had a lot of luck with Carhartt jeans. They had inseams 29" and up (maybe 28 but never saw them in store) and they were built to last. I still have…
I've used Java very little. But about 1-2 years ago, on a long trip, and after learning about Kotlin on Android (iOS developer here) I decided to create a prototype of our iOS app on Android using Kotlin. Apart from…
(not in the USA, so things are a bit different, we can't do credit checks or criminal records for example) The tenants I have in my properties were relatives of people I knew. What we do here is we have a concept…
To counter the op. My family has been in the rental business for more than 30 years. I have 2 of my own. We never had any issues like the op mentions. A couple late payments and 2 evictions from lack of payment and that…
would you care if every transaction you did on your bank account also fucked you out of 2 cents? We (me in Portugal but a lot of Europe as well) have laws to prevent this kind of fraud. Gas stations, scales in…
I work from home with a great team. I had my son jump into two calls. Both times he was completely naked and had just ran away from his mother after a bath. Both times I was greeted with fun and interaction from the…
Believe me, it isn't impossible to look and talk to someone 'like a little girl'. Usually when a woman says this, it is usually because the other person is dismissive of the other person's ideas and thoughts, acts…
People that know me can vouch for the fact that as long as I am happy with where I live, I don't give a crap about things (I wear the cheapest sweatsuits I can find 90% of the time, I have no jewellery, watches, fancy…
Because I will be the best fit for the team from all available candidates. If you think someone else is, then it is that person you should hire. Honest, to the point and not BS crap
I don't get it either. My favourite food is called "Secretos Porco Preto" (black iberian pig secrets) [1] This is the most fatty meat I ever eaten. I eat up and iron skillet, I put the piece there, it renders so much…
I still don't understand this idea that is hard to eat a lot of fat. Lean protein sure, there is a limit to the number of chicken breasts I can eat, but fat? Bacon, Cheese, Fatty meats. I can easily eat 1000-1500kcal in…
If I do, I will do for my family/friends, not my employer. I work my 40 hours a week, so why should I break my routine for a pseudo-gathering where I have little to no connection with people??
I hate travelling. I probably have more miles in the air than most from my previous life. I hate it. I will go to any length if it avoids me being in a plane or car. Maybe I'm getting old, but break up my routine for a…
And that is great, my organization actually respects this and doesn't force me to go to any annual things. To each their own, but shared meals and drinks in the evening is for me too much. I work 8 hours for you, after…
The two times I did this with two separate teams I hated it. I'm a very social guy, so it isn't an introvert thing, but I work 100% remote, I don't want to meet and be confined to 'activities' or environments where I…
