The test was difficult. I should have brought my glasses. Also apparently, people actually prepare a lot for the test. There are even paying mock up test and so on. Results are in august. Also, the test cost 300.- i'm really curious at where the money goes, because that's about 1 million in total ...

I'm glad i was able to contribute positively to your home
What is fun with scything, is also that you get better at it. The progression makes it more fun.

The difference is noticable.
I never did it on my GPU, but it's long overdue (if i look at how hoter it gets than it used to), it's a bit less trivial than on cpu, because you have to open it.
On the CPU, you just remove the fan, you clean, and put new paste. Since you don't need to remove the cpu ...

@newblood, @loutfard
Thank you!

I figured I might write down a list of possible spending.

-New hunting weapons: my weapons are in very special caliber, which are about two or three times more expensive than more common ones. I'de save around 50.- per year with a new set of weapon, so 2000.-over my ...

There is already some lifestyle inflation, I took the roe deer license for 420.- (for two animals) instead of the chamois license for 210.-

Interview went well, i got the job.
I will start in the middle of august to get some basic training, and then start for real in september.
I feel a bit afraid of the great reduction in free time that will come from the combination of job and studies.

I would really like to be able to never need a job ever again. So investment money is the sought after end product of this reentry into the workforce. I will of course look after my sanity in priority, but my credentials and ability to reenter this field will come after those two ...

Since i might have a regular income again, i started thinking at ways to remortgage my house, to buy an other house and rent it out. This kind of scheme feels a bit like cheating.
Is the banking system skewed that way, or am i missing something? Is the only downside the risk of house prices sinking ...

If you enjoy carrying heavy stuff around from time to time, my boss is looking for someone, 30 usd per hour.

It means i got an interview on monday. I also have the exam to get into the vet school on friday. I found an example of the kind of question they ask. Answering everything correctly will be challenging. I hope that other candidates will find it even more challenging :D

My impression is that mimicry (or anti mimicry) is a desire of it's own, probably as a strategy to fulfull one's need for an identity.
And again, it's a bit like in cooking, where you can either follow a recipe, or make your own how your understand how ingredients work.
Humans tend to desire similar ...

While research in this lab was enjoyable, becoming an academic never was a goal. I was talking about my failure to get a job in the industry.

The trial night went well. Job implies a lot of walking trough empty facilities, and some driving. I enjoy those kind of settings.

They are traditionnaly made of wood, and have built in ventilation.
Aluminium ones without ventilation have some downsides.

That might be possible, but that's not what i want to do now. But calling him might be a good idea to get insights about why my career failed.
I'm on my way for a test night for a job that might be fine, with work all around the clock.
My plan is to work as much as possible this summer within the ...

Nearly every house in switzerland have outside cover and inside shade on every windows. You can play with them to adapt to weather condition. I think it's was like that for at least 60 years, because there where already old outside cover when i was a kid.
I thought it was standard in all the west.

@jacob When your signal is too low, remembering things is still faster than googling them.
What i would be afraid to lose, is not the ability to remember thing per se, but the ability to attach thing to context well enough to make remembering them relatively easy.
On a similar note to your ...

Ah... anthropomorphization. The first step in Overlord Musk's master plan to have humanity voluntarily open the gates to its own empire for Tesla's gathering Bot invasion accomplished. You know The Great Elon uses the word "legions" when he quantifies the number of Bots he is preparing to unleash ...

I've been working in wineyards likely.
Pay is quite low (quite low in CH is 19.- per hour), put being outside can be pleasant. Not so much when it's too hot and there is hay fever (and copper sulfur solution).
So we decided to start work at 6am.
I forgot how pleasant riding a bike at early hours can ...
