Search term "mini usb2 to usbc" on amazon UK came back with a good list... brands easyult and nfhk. No clue how good they are or if they would be available in EU/CH.

Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn't be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed... because it teaches life skills etc.
On the other hand I don't think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.

There is a community here with suggestions for tools.

I was surprised when I looked into digital nomad visas last year, how cheap an airbnb was to book for a month out of season.

Edit, missed that they said a week or 2

Had this myself recently, process explorer still works though. tskill taskmgr.exe would probably work too.

Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don't like the idea of management. I love doing what I do... fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!

I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn't seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!

Just some ideas, I don't have much good advice as I'm spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.

While I concede your general point on the practicalities of responsible pet ownership and exotic pets, I imagine that what you are saying about vets be fairly region specific. Indoor birds are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK... albeit with only 3% of households as cats and dogs dominate here. There are 2 vets that service birds within 2 miles of me and one is an exotic specialist. Location was not specified so I suggested some of the more common options if the most popular ones are not suitable.

Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren't really that interested in playing but don't know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.

I'm imagining a use case of finding people buried in collapsed buildings with wifi, or is it just detecting movement... I didn't quite understand the science bit.

Test received!!

The Sync for reddit dev is working on a lemmy version but its a few weeks away. I'm using connect till then... the current version is pretty good and similar enough to sync for my uses.
