  • Where do you start from? You’re on lemmy, most likely work in tech but are too leftist to get promoted, to the drive a Tesla and get stock option paygrade

    If you enjoy your job, and get enough income struggle to fulfill your basic needs, more money is just some extra comfort. Sure you could spend you holiday in a hotel rather than a camping and get designer furnitures rather than IKEA one. You could finally have the free room in you house to set up a lab.

    So compared to people who don’t even reach the (full time) minimal wage, you are way in advance.

    Most rich people don’t have such an extravagant lifestyle. And many people who show off areren’t that rich( they could become if they stop getting debt and showing off)





  • But I also wonder why there’s so many pharmacies in France. In almost any city I’ve been to it’s hard to not have a green flashing cross in sight.

    French pharmacies cannot open where they want, there is a limit in how many pharmacy a city can have, on the flip coin, it means that they are relatively evenly spread out across the country, and that even in the so called empty diagonal you`ll find a pharmacy.

    Physician do not have this restriction, so many of them go to either Paris or the French riviera, while in rural area in the Northern half, you struggle to find a doctor.











  • Get a teacher, it really helps. My teacher has small group class, which IMO are the best bang for your bucks, 2-3 students make the class cheaper than one while letting you time to play. Then as intermediate you can have bob plays the chords and Alice the melody which is great.

    With 2 weeks of self practices, don’t expect to play anything properly. It’s called being a beginner, it’s normal. At your level focus on switching open chords with a metronome (slow, like 40 bpm)

    Easiest song I know would be come as you are by nirvana, usually the first new guitarists learn. Then here comes your man by pixies may be achievable(ospecially if you can play chords) then anything pop punk (the offspring) is super si le but may be fun r next year





  • Paraglider pilot here, so I landed among the cow my fair share of times.

    Cows are curious but shy, if you walk slowly they might come to have a look, if they get too close, something like clapping your hands is enough to have them running away. However, if the farmer didn’t took the veals the yet, they can be pretty agressive to protect their kids, in that case forgot what I said about “clapping your hand” and stay away from the herd. Note also that bull are less shy than cow.
