Now that you mention non-salary benefits… I would get a company car for myself in the new job, effectively eliminating all car-related costs. Healthcare wise it‘s the same. This company car would reduce my cost immensely, evening out the salary gap.

Well the new job would make use of various licenses I acquired in my free time. On paper it sounds amazing but I would really want to know what I’m getting into before actually quitting my current job.

Please correct me if I’m wrong since I’m not native in English. In my understanding a paycut is the reduction of one’s income.

My backup plan is that I have an assessment in the near future that, if passed, states me as someone who’s good with taxes and that certificate is valued higher than a bachelor‘s degree

No paycut, only if I switch jobs

Well that’s the point, there’s so many managers that they load the work of the retirees off to the other managers. The positions just vanish.

Retirements aren’t replaced. Only chance of getting a raise is if someone higher up quits

In Austria, where I’m from, sex ed in school gets a brief introduction at age 10 when learning about the human anatomy, gradually learning more in biology class. Before ending middle school, there’s a mandatory intensive sex ed course, at least that was the thing 17 years ago.

Condoms were primarily advertised as medical products for preventing from sexual diseases, and only secondly as pregnancy preventions.

1 in 10 has had sex with 14 years old in my country, keep it safe, better at home with condoms than in the woods without. If they want to, they’ll find a way.

We calculated in the 70s that the algorithm on which the LLMs run will only get us so far. We’ve nearly reached that point. related article that basically covers it all: https://venturebeat.com/ai/llms-are-stuck-on-a-problem-from-the-70s-but-are-still-worth-using-heres-why

So basically no different view. Still waiting for my cyborg buddy.

I have that one and nothing more. https://at.tempur.com/kissen/klassische-schlafkissen/comfort-smartcool-kissen-AT83400448.html If it’s too high I use my arm or an edge of the blanket as a pillow.

Kirby does this in a lot of games. The main game is beatable by a child, but the more extra stuff you do, the harder it gets. And the secret bosses like Morpho Knight and Chaos Elfilis feel like straight out of DarkSouls or the Sans fight in Undertale.

Oh, and in order to fight them, you need to have finished everything else that the game offers and defeat all the games bosses beforehand - with limited healing options.

My dominatrix charges more than Nintendo, and the outcome is the same.

So like a wannabe SUPER CRAZY GUITAR MANIAC DELUXE 3?

Not in Europe. Over here, those go for ~350 if you’re lucky

You can get 4TB of high quality HDD for $100 and with your budget you can get that and 2 backup drives

I was 2 years “too late”. I had an extra test in accounting to determine if I were allowed to attend the finals. It was only then that I understood a subject I didn’t understand for the whole time at college. I got an A on that test and crushed the finals with a B.

Nah man I’m good with my H E E L Y S

You are not so smart podcast

Basically a book club about psychology books

My on the go music library 512 GB SanDisk MicroSD from 2 months ago had the same price as my first 16 GB SanDisk MicroSD I put in my HTC Wildfire S.

Has nothing to do with this, but every time someone mentions memory prices, I can’t help but think of this.
