  • Peer review…

    Too many cooking sites are let’s exchange your recipe and end up with either stuff missing or absurdly high amount of sugar (as a rule of thumb divide by 2 the amount of sugar) or a lack of salt/spice even when they’re notsimply forgotten.

    Published books tends to be a bit better as in principle they’re revised.

    Peer review is how scientists correct that. Often it’s as simple as on figure 2, the labels are too small and sometimes it’s I don’t get how you’ve built your experimental setup can you clarify this section? It’s rarely catching biq mystake but really improves overall quality


  • I think you’re under estimated how much fossil fuel are used and the electricity production from solar and wind farm.

    It’s definitely possible to replace all fossil fuel by electricity, but it’s a massive shift involving multiple nuclear power plants (or the green equivalent which is even more expensive/complicated) , not a few windfarm and solar panel over the parking lot. And today there is no political will to do such massive investment, let alone the NIMBY

  • Unfortunately, in this economy, young graduate needing one year to find a job isn’t uncommon.

    As usual,

    • how easily can you move, it’s easier as a 20 year old kid than as a middle aged parent with an employed spouse in a niche sector

    • Lookat various temporar/consulting agencies. It pays badly, isn’t a permanent position but any experience is better than no experience

    -what about further training? A non professional bachelor, is usually too theoretical for employer, and when they want theoretical profile they are people with master degree

    -What about government job, may be not a dream job, but with just a bachelor you’re eligible to middle management position, not fun to manage a team of civil servant in charges of dealing with whatever paperwork, but again, it’s a job.

    • don’t forget to join an union supporting the Universal basic income and affordable housing so you can do something to improve our situation



  • Do you know which kind of facilities you have at the camp place? There is hotel like camping with swimming pool, restaurant and even a night club. It’s just cheaper because you bring a tent.

    And then there is roots camping with just a field where you can put your tent and a more or less clean shozer/toilet building. I ever saw place where you add to pay an extra for hot water ( A 5 € per night climber’ s camping)

    Bring earplugs so your neighbour snoring won’t prevent you from sleeping and a red light so you don’t wake up everyone when you go peeing in the middle of the night.

    And expect the morning to be cold





  • Depends a lot on your personal situation, and jurisdiction.

    • Doing a ceremony when you publicly say you love each other is already a valid reason

    • In some jurisdiction, you’d get a form of tax benefit for being married, it often comes with downside like having welfare benefit based on the couple revenue rather than on individual ones (hence the tax benefit). Talk with an accountant/Tax-lawyer knowing your local laws for details

    • It gives a legal status to your shared asset. Sure you could create a real-estate-investment company to buy your house and many people do that but being married, with a proper prenup give you a lot of agency regarding your shared asset

    • It protects the weaker partner, usually the one scarifying their carrer for the couple if things goes wrong

    • No need for a big ceremony, you can get a notary to prepare the pre-nup contract, and do a ceremony at the townhall with 2 witnesses and done.


  • Reality is that there is a lot of difference between office jobs, mechanical designer, purchaser, corporate laws specialists, and let’s say project managers have very different jobs but still have office jobs.

    Hour by hour? Read e-mail, browse lemmy, chat using teams (or slack), run to a meeting, then to another one, meet someone in the corridor and ask them a question about an ongoing project, realize that you need to review a report, open the file and get called, rfget a coffee, run to another meeting, conclude you won’t neither review the report X or nor start the report Y and call it a day.




  • If you remove the Luxemburg, Andorra, and a couple of smaller countries, VAT rates are relatively consistent. Indeed, if you live within 20km from the border, it’s worth buying some stuff across the border, and for some trips to plan a fuel stop on the right side of the border.

    But if you need to drive 100 km, you won’t recover the cost of the road if you don’t do some specific purchases.

    Note also, that at least in theory, you’re not free to travel with unlimited cigarettes and alcohol (where tax rates difference can be crazy) so again, if you pass by Luxemburg or Andorra, you can’t legally speaking buy 100 packs of cigarettes, (but would still save 30 to 50 € on a 10 packs carton)



  • Male fashion sucks, but tank tops aren’t seen like acceptable for men (out of the gym)

    That said, students are old enough to understand how to dress, so IMO the professor should have say nothpng

    But soon enough you’ll discover that if you dare to wear a short at work your manager will ask whether you’re in Hollyday or even sends you home to dress properly
