No, that's the 808.

So speaking from experience and a background in education, the most important thing you'll get from uni is yourself. Or more specifically, how you see yourself. Uni (college for you US folk) lets us extend our formative phase and define how we see ourselves and what we'll put out into the world going forward.

So my advice is go easy on yourself, everyone's experience is different and no one's is right or wrong. You mention a lot of great things you did, heading towards graduation with good grades and little/no debt is a huge success, sounds like you're practical, hard-working and smart. Maybe you didn't have the wild ragers, hookups, BFFs that we see in media, but I'd imagine you did have some good social experiences, casual friends, good conversations (even in classes) and the sort of interactions that help you build better relationships later on in life.

Take a deep breath, focus on the positive, which there is plenty even in your short post, and remember you've got a whole exciting life ahead of you, plenty of time for adventures, friendships/relationships, and you've put yourself in a great position to find those.

And I apologize if this sounds preachy or therapisty (and reading comments, it's not far from what others have said too), but I'm basically writing a letter to 22yo me, and at 38 now, trust me, life has been awesome after uni, so congrats on your hard work, power through to the end of the year, and take some time to feel proud of who you are and have become.

Exactly, I'm 38 also, and this is already like 90% true. Just need a good walking stick.

Sorry, I just shot it while walking, the rain dripped half-built building gave me distinct post- apocalypse vibes. Definitely not the best title, just wanted to share the view.

Oh oh, I have one. So I worked in e-commerce through the pandemic, which meant I worked solo 99% of the time doing everything from web and graphic design, to packing boxes with the things ordered.

So one morning I come in, and marketing has decided we are going to send out 100+ packages of our newest product to influencers, reviewers, C-suite people etc. But it's just me and I have my delivery pick-up scheduled to come in 2 hours.

So I'm rushing around building boxes and grabbing the items, and as I come downstairs from where some of the new stuff is (nothing else is stored upstairs, just this because it was just delivered) carrying a bunch using up both hands, I missed a step and fell about 4 stairs worth. Landed hard on my knees, scrapping my legs to hell, but otherwise, luckily fine.

No one saw it, no one mentioned it, my line manager never said anything... But there were CCTV cameras. And 1 weeks later

EVERY stair railing had a sticker that read "please hold onto the hand-rail". Nevermind that I litterally couldn't while doing what they had asked of me, and absolutely no checking to see if I was ok.

I resigned and accepted a new role elsewhere 2 weeks later.

My kid brother (we're both in our 30s now) would always, ALWAYS, invade my personal space when we had to share a bed on holiday. Berry (and his annoyed face) is my spirit animal.

Oww!

Mmm... Onion pie, is that like a quiche, or like a carmalized onion tart. Either way OP may not need it, but I now do.

(Yes I get it, but also yes I want quiche.)

Oh wow, can't wait to binge. Thanks for letting me know how I'm spending my Saturday night (I'm so cool).

Lemmy/Kbin are a more friendly Reddit.
Mastadon is a more friendly Twitter.
Reddit was more friendly than Twitter.
Mastodon is primed to have some peak "Reddit moments", but that's ok.

Its a good tool for sharing and finding thoughts/articles/news, but if I want good discourse, I'm logging into Kbin.

My wife wanted to try it, so we did. We did not try it a second time.

Reading the article, it looks like it actually may cost 1 liver, and I like mine, works hard already.

This is pretty standard if you work at a dive bar. Pint glasses over the sink drains and ice in the urinals. Otherwise the whole place smells and the flies have taken over by morning.

That's "er" HQ now I believe.

This is largely because of the traditional use of fish-based finings (isinglass) which clarify yeast from beer. Just about any keg beer, including small batch and craft, won't use this any more, its not needed or effective. And for bottled and cask conditioned beers/ales the price and effectiveness of vegan finings has gone down and up respectively quite a bit in the past few years, so non-vegan beers are definitely in the minority. Even in the UK (where cask is far more common).

No idea about wine though.

So if the paddle hit the ball, the cells would receive a nice, predictable stimulus. But if it missed, the cells would get four seconds of totally unpredictable stimulation.

Ah yes, my second step after building biological AI is definitely "torture it". This is sure to end well.

Not that I encourage violence, but I read the headline once and missed "house of" and was a bit disappointed when I re-read it.

Let's hope that all of these:

a setback for the company as it seeks to settle thousands of similar cases

come to similar results then.
