Fair enough, it must have just been a fluke I saw a few posts like this in a row

On a tangent, is it just me, or has there been a notable uptick in this type of question? Feels a lot like astroturfing, but so far as I can see there's been no malicious intent

If you can optimise those by doing small task while waiting, e.g. when the microwave/oven is running, while you're watching TV etc. then you can effectively do chores without losing time as well

Depending on the country, your tax laws may also let you get the full cost of job related education and conferences back. I was lucky enough that my employment funded the bulk for me, but in Australia it's a solid way to keep learning once you're in the field you're after.

That's pretty standard for country celebrations I'd bet - around Australia Day we have plenty of people flying flags, but the day after it's back to normal

Even with the radioactive waste material, in 20 years that will just be more fuel for fission reactors. Even taking into account the deaths from atomic bombs, the death rate from nuclear materials is a factor of a few hundred lower than coal power.

I've found if you accidentally take a spam call it can be fun to string them along and waste their time for a good 30m if you've got time to kill, the humour is great but it also gets you blacklisted for a while and they stop calling

I think they mean to ask for honest feedback, it's quite possible your lack of success is linked to the mindset you have. Expecting to fail us one of the most common reasons to fail, but knowing that success requires a lot of failure is a much healthier approach.

Have you you tried therapy to work through some of these issues? It's helped me quite a lot

You can also literally solve problems with a computer lying around - bitcoin mining isn't very useful, but you can contribute to science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects

I went in with a 4 year degree, the other grad next to me went in with a 6 month kinda masters. You can pull it off if you try hard enough and know your shit, wish I'd known that before I wasted so long at uni.
