  • Yep, I’m European, I had my savings in a world ETF until last week when I pulled them out. Right now, they’d be higher than they were when I sold. Does it hurt a bit? Sure. Do I even consider going back in? Fuck no.

    This kinda volatility is great if you’re a degenerate gambler or have the insider knowledge. I’m neither of these things and I’m in a personal situation where I don’t know when I’m gonna need these funds, ideally it’s in 20/30 years but no guarantees, and also I’m not in a position to keep buying monthly right now and since the last couple of years.

    Now I’m just gonna sit on it for a while, and find ways to park my savings as far from the US as possible, certainly not in a world fund anymore which are 60/70% US exposure.

    Congrats, they successfully pushed me and many like me out of the market so they can keep “the game” to themselves.

    We’re in sync then, your initial comment made it sound like you thought any camera work was not creative by default. As I said to the other guy I should’ve used a different phrasing to clear out the confusion around tool/artist.

    Maybe they’re very skilled and managed to get into position in such a way that it didn’t trigger the system, which is otherwise normally tuned, but yeah you’re most likely correct. Also good to know, more advanced skiers use higher DIN settings (harder to release) to enable them to ski harder on rough terrain without the skis coming off.

    Definitiv nicht meine Erfahrung, da ich als Nachbar das Glück hatte, mehrmals durch Ihr schönes Land und die Landschaft zu fahren. Ich fand deutsche Autofahrer die besten der Welt! Ja, man kann auf der Autobahn, wo es erlaubt ist, die Schallmauer durchbrechen, aber ansonsten habe ich nur Respekt vor den Regeln und präzises, aufmerksames Fahren erlebt. Der Kontrast war ziemlich dramatisch, als ich die Grenze zu den Niederlanden überquerte und alle 20 km/h zu schnell fuhren, die Gesichter ins Telefon starrten, nicht blinkten, im Zickzack durch die Fahrspuren fuhren, rechts überholten usw. usw.

    – automatische Übersetzung, entschuldigen Sie etwaige Fehler.



  • I’m a pretty advanced user on Windows and I sometimes use the command prompts but it’s pretty darn rare, and I certainly don’t have any commands memorized. I have a couple basic commands memorized for the run tool but even that rarely comes up. I don’t tinker with my machine for the sake of it though, ideally I want it to “just work” and I’d want the same thing from Linux. And I do want that but unfortunately there’s a few programs I need for my work that don’t run on it (namely lightroom and Photoshop). Spending time on Lemmy did make me want to install a dual boot mint though, I have a separate drive for it I need to move from my old machine, doing that soon^tm.

    Now add the fact I’m my own boss (so no real weekends, there’s always work to do) and have a small child and the feelings of guilt are coming in regardless, either I’m neglecting my work, or my child! It’s a win-win!
