I think you lack context. This behavior goes back a long time (at least until 1998-99 when my wife and I did our backpacking trip around the world).

Not only are they mostly gungho and rude, they tend to take over entire hostels or hotels, and threaten anyone who asks them not to do karaoke at 3:00 in the morning.

Many nations have a "type" of traveler: Canadians consistency considered the best, Dutch too stingy, British atavistic, Aussies/Kiwis friendly and fun loving, etc. It's been like this for literally decades.

Not necessarily. I'm same as OP, happened also in my 20s (a long damn time ago).

I broke my collar bone a couple of years ago, and when I ran out of pain meds, I would smoke a bit of hash. As in one max two hits on a hash spliff.

The hash helped with the pain for sure, but every single minute I had to do full on mindfulness. Walking to the store about to freak out then reminded my brain "hey that's ok but we are walking now; go back to paying attention to you feet and arms."

I've tried smoking recreationally throughout the years. In the past 25 years I've had a good experience exactly once, and Io am convinced it was because the circumstances were literally perfect for me, mentally and physically.

So yeah even with tiny doses of different strains, it just turned on my and stayed turned. And it sucks, yes.

The central library in Helsinki has nearly all this and audio and video recording studios as well: https://oodihelsinki.fi/en/

Thank you. I'll watch when I feel brave enough.

Anyone have a non-cookie locked version of the video?

I thought the central problem was telemore degeneration, not anything to do with stem cells per se.

Happy to be corrected if wrong; I never worked anywhere near this category in my very long ago now pharma/biotech phase.

I first visited Paris in ...1992? Since 2010 I've been back about 15 times.

And Paris is about 15 times better. Granted, I live in NL, so bikes are second nature to me.

N American English doesn't really have that diphthong though.

You do realize he ran in ...New York City, right? The Big D machine has little say when New Yorkers get their gander up.

This is not necessarily repeatable anywhere else in the US, not a major city anyway.

Damn spoiler for me! I've been binging SG-1 for the first time since about a month ago.

Can't fairly expect not to get spoilers for an ancient (no pun intended) show I suppose.

 

I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I've been managing this department, the only people I've lost have been from Gen Z. Clearly I do not know how to manage Gen Z so that they are happy working here. What can I do? I want them to be as happy as my Millennial team members. One detail that might matter is that my team is spread over three European cities.

Happy to provide any clarification if anyone wants it.

Edit. Thanks for all the answers even if a few of them are difficult to hear (and a few were oddly angry?) This has been very helpful for me, much more so than it probably would have been at the Old Place.

Also the second lady I mentioned who might quit or I might have to let go? She quit the day after I posted this giving a week's notice yesterday. My team is fully supportive, but it's going to be a rough couple of months.
