You forgot to mention job security

Imagine working super hard, burning out for a little bit, then getting fired for low performance

Yea, like 6 of them and their space agencies budget is 200 million USD

I don't think it's farfetched that a Chinese company has far greater capabilities than what they have

Totally sounds like by choice by the wording

Come on, it's pretty believable a satellite corporation is selling imagery to Iran for money lol

Fair enough. I actually want a job like that too eventually because my coding job is a nightmare of being around the worst people ever and trying to keep up with my much better teammates (who all hyper-optimized their life for a coding career, hence being the worst people ever) in the cutthroat environment

That being said, I never imagined it would be a job I like, just one I dislike less

I've never done anything but retail and white collar but what was fun about those jobs? The work seems pretty monotonous and mindless

At least with retail I was working in a country with nicer people than america so the customers were generally kind

I find white collar workers largely have keeping up with the Joneses syndrome and spend way too much money on shit just because other people do

I don't really see the lack of appeal other than the judgement of other white collar people

Money... My parents were both factory workers and I'm a white collar worker. I made more as an intern when I was 19 than they both did together at the peak of their career

They retired with only 100k in the bank in the UK after working an entire lifetime

What is your specific role and responsibility? Big range of factory jobs

I get it you have no money contrains but really crazy stories

They do, but the culture makes people generally not care about long term financial health and taking on debt/spending beyond their means to live in the moment

Obviously, this is sick af in a country with good security nets but in USA it's just a way to make people massive irresponsible consumers for the capitalists benefit

I honestly think this is true from my experience chatting about labour with coders

Also because they're grateful to their bosses they get to do their interests as a job. I'd imagine for researchers this is a massive deal

First act (3 episodes) came out on Netflix today. 2nd act in a week, and last act a week after that

Alternate sources: Go to Yandex (dot) com and search "Arcane Season 2 stream online free". Yandex is a great resource in general for any free streaming, the first link always works perfect

You can buy <5 USD fully built ESP32 modules on https://AliExpress.com

Alternatively, you can support to original creators of ESP32 and buy their modularized premades. Includes pricier options with screens, audio + keystroke I/O, etc.

Yes, that website doesn't have SSL, stop being a fucking nerd, Chinese company's websites generally don't have any

Most important part of these tariffs:

"The trade rule allows packages to be shipped from foreign countries directly to consumers or businesses without paying tariffs, as long as the shipments do not exceed $800 per recipient per day. The new proposal would strip that exemption from a wide array of products and most likely have a significant impact on large importers of Chinese goods such as Shein and Temu, two online marketplaces that have become popular with American shoppers."

This trade rule being taken advantage of by Aliexpress, Temu, and Shein is the sole reason why significant amounts of Americans could still afford to buy a lot of consumer goods despite having their real wages crash year after year. This would genuinely trigger another cost of living crisis

This has surprisingly garnered lots of support amongst gamers

Slightly oily skin, some PIE + PIH from acne when I was younger. Some tiny bumps on forehead, probably because I haven't exfoliated in a long time. My face skin tolerates actives super well and I don't get dried out/breakout by them. Even accutane barely made my skin dry (rest of body and lips got destroyed though)

Daily routine I'm planning on starting on (I've used + liked all of these in the past before after a ton of experimentation, though never all at once):

AM (no waiting between any layers)

Garnier micellar pink cap (for cleansing)

Thayers toner (to wipe off cleanser + reset pH levels)

AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream

TO Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% (for PIE + PIH + exfoliating (but does it even exfoliate if I put this over my moisturizer?))

PM

Garnier micellar pink cap

Thayers toner

TO Niacinamide 10% (for skin texture)

Adapalene 0.3% (retinoid for anti-aging)

Wait 10 minutes for this to sink in

AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream

And then once a week I'll microneedle my face with TO 2% hyaluronic acid + b5 before + after

And rarely if I give a shit I'll put on some Biore UV or waterproof Skin Aqua sunscreens. Can't find the links though

Are there any better products I can swap my current ones with?

Any products I should introduce? (I feel like I could add one more active in AM after toner and before moisturizer, maybe a gentle AHA/BHA for more exfoliation?)

Should I change the order of anything around?

Americans were mostly against Vietnam because a bunch of their family and friends were coming back in bodybags

I don't think any amount of Ukrainian casualties would make any big difference in American perception
