A quick scan of the article makes it clear what they mean here:
A political party with an armed wing
Looking at it through that lense it isn’t a terrible take but a gross oversimplification of Hezbollah
Have you read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed yet? It isn’t quite what you are looking for but covers the revolution itself from a first hand account
This very much reads like the whole “China is weeks away from collapse.” Every once in a while there is some fear mongering over the Treasury and bonds. This also coming from the Heritage Foundation is rather convenient with their call for fiscal responsibility and measuring the decline as being 3.5 years in the making.
While a US collapse would be good for a lot of the world this is clearly a political ad for Trump and project 2025. As in don’t get your hopes up of anything meaningful happening
You’ll probably be interested in this theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_civil_religion
Having grown up there I don’t inherently disagree with this idea
For the exercise if you can add a bit more it could help with getting tired when you want to sleep.
Yea like I said I understand the diet one might not be possible to change much with that.
I suppose pen and paper could be part of a winding down routine. Maybe spend a bit of time before bed writing down anything on your to do list or on your mind. It might help with falling asleep easier
All this might sound like a lot but you don’t have to be perfect on day one and have to find a thing that works for you
Sounds like a reasonable plan and since you want a stricter schedule that makes it a bit easier. I’ve got a few more questions:
I’m assuming you are looking to be asleep by 10 or 11 to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. I’m on a similar schedule. Usually I’ll quit gaming at 8 pm on Sundays to be sure I am winding down by 10ish. I also try to only have coffee in the mornings most days as it’ll stick with you later than most people think.
What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?
Like do you have to get up at a certain time and find yourself staying up too late so getting little sleep? Or is it something else, like you can get up kind of whenever but the sleep isn’t refreshing?
Are there really many Amish people living there? That always seemed more US and Canadian
I’ll reply to both of you here. Luxembourg isn’t quite a microstate by most definitions but is indeed small.
On the public transit, the free is very nice, the mediocre service is less nice. Other less nice things is that they are focusing on building more roads and less on better public transit networks(tram extension is nice though), so I rank it as moderately good in that sense when compared to other countries and their public transit networks and mobility plans.
As for why it isn’t going full renewable there are a few reasons and could probably go into much more depth but only 1/4 of workers in Luxembourg have nationality there, the others are a mix of cross border workers(France, Belgium, and Germany), EU citizens who moved there, and 3rd country nationals. Only citizens of Luxembourg can vote for the government(EU citizens can vote for EU parliament and all can vote for municipal elections) and they tend to be a bit more conservative. Additionally land is super expensive so that is a barrier to renewables. What I will say though is there is an increase in it with a goal to hit 35% renewable by 2030 and there are quite a few wind turbines but, I would doubt it will get hit with the CSV being the primary party in government at the moment.
“In particular, people who receive such material involuntarily — for example in the context of a WhatsApp parents’ group — risk a minimum sentence of one year,” Buschmann said in a statement. The same, he added, also applies “in the case of teachers who have discovered child pornographic material on students’ cellphones and have forwarded it to alert the affected parents.”
So seems less like they have an excess of CP and more like they have a poorly worded law that allows prosecution of people who aren’t the actual problem. Though teachers forwarding it to parents is a bit weird
Just because it is in your contract doesn’t make it legal!
Realistically it could be worth checking your local laws regarding it and potentially speaking to a lawyer as some will do a free consult to see if you have a case
To start with I’ll answer your specific questions
Would working in helpdesk allow a better or worse WLB? This is very company dependent. In general though developers are usually able to clock out more often at the end of the day. If you go SysAdmin/DevOps/SRE when things break in the night it is you who gets the call. Again this varies wildly between companies, I’m in a DevOps/SRE role and have had that at 3 different places, one there was zero after hours calls, one was multiple times a week, and one was once or twice every quarter. So keep that in mind.
Would it be more likely to be unionized and thus a better place from which to participate in tech labour struggle?
Tech really isn’t unionized much. Helpdesk while often the seemingly most likely to unionize has the issue of people move up and out quickly and tech workers in general can move to new companies if they don’t like something and that is often easier than unionizing. To also echo @[email protected] the leftists on the more infra side are few and far between. It draws a lot of loners and reactionary people, the musk fanboy types.
Is it easier to break into than software, like, so much easier that it would be worth changing course, or just doing IT as a stepping stone for my first co-op (internship program in Canada) or two? It is easier in the sense that helpdesk is a grind(they call it helldesk for a reason) and places are always hiring. Pay will be terrible and you’ll be grinding some boring work unless you put in extra hours to move up and show you know stuff, or at least that is the general path. Lucking out into a SysAdmin role or a role doing interesting work is about the same difficulty as breaking into a software development role. There are usually less positions on the infra side, but also less people doing it.
As for my advice, you are still in school so keep learning. Use this time to try some new things to figure out what you’d enjoy more. Both roles are in demand and can have comfortable salaries. If you are thinking about linux and sysadmin work try standing up a small web server on one of the cheap cloud providers and see what it is like, then automate it. Once you’ve done that maybe play with some docker containers. As for an internship I’d suggest sticking with software development as it is more in line with your degree for the time being, if you are doing multiple internships(like one each year) then maybe consider looking for a more infra focused one if you don’t enjoy the development side
I don’t see anything wrong with this list. I’ve read the majority of works listed here and would say if you read all of these you’ll be quite well read, but don’t stop once you are done here.
Personally I’ve never liked classifying things as beginner, intermediate, or advanced and just read what I feel like at the time.
Sometimes it is also easier to read a few works in a row by the same author. For example you have Lenin spread in different levels but it might be easier to read those one after another since these authors do all have a bit of stylistic differences and when they are mentioning other people you won’t have to look up the person repeatedly if they are fresh in your mind from their other works
Sounds like a great way to spend the day despite your original plans not working out.
Keeping it in mind and posting here is doing something even if not a traditional celebration!
Some professions need someone working every day and if you aren’t in one of those hopefully soon your employer will see the error of their ways
Well, keep the spirit in mind and I suppose celebrate on labor day in the US assuming you get off.
I do always find it interesting that the US is so against lining up the date with the rest of the world.
I appreciate the effort here. One major flaw I see in your argument is ignoring historical context. You point to the CPC being very wealthy and owning a large amount oy stock and businesses and use that to argue other parties should too, but you leave off the how and why the CPC owns so much. It wasn’t as you argue others should do, by out competing capitalists, but rather due to their actions after their successful revolution. I’d suggest elaborating more on this to see if you can reconcile some issues in your proposal. Additionally I’d consider how capitalists are trying currently to do what you suggest the communist parties do, to essentially buy out all competition.
