It means you can mostly just roll on and pretend it didn't happen

People remember far fewer of your embarassing moments than you do yourself.

Also, on the topic of Romania,

https://verfassungsblog.de/romanian-militant-democracy-in-action/

the Ruling connects democracy and rule of law with Romania’s membership in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, making Romania’s withdrawal from these two communities unconstitutional.

This is concerning, if it ever gets used to ban someone advocating EU withdrawal from running for election. democracy <=/=> EU

Here is an article I read the other day that is of the opposite opinion.

Technically these are all still Latin leters, just that they're written in a weird way that evolved from middle-aged Gothic handwriting as opposed to Latin directly which was the case with English cursive. This style of writing, along with the print-oriented 𝔣𝔯𝔞𝔨𝔱𝔲𝔯, was abandoned for the Latin equivalent by the Nazis for logistical reasons in 1941.

I'm a student and it's going to be another few years before I can get a serious job in the field I'm studying. I'm looking for jobs to do while studying to pay the bills in the meantime. I could go and work as a cashier or something but I've been thinking it would be more attractive to pick some sort of skill (eg. being a cook) that I could do to earn money and improve at along the way. Some skill that once mastered pays relatively well. Ideally something intuition-based or hands-on so that I can relax from studying. Any recommendations?

 

Please excuse the quality

I'm completely inept at organizing changes in my life, which means I waste a many weeks being 'stuck' when I could be out living/working somewhere interesting/etc. I was watching Top Gear the other day and I realized that what I really need is to have 'producers' like they do on the show who take care of the logistics of things so that the protagonist can just sail through. I realize that this doesn't come for free so I would be willing to join a group where one such plan is made for the whole group, or switch to a job where having someone plan your life (at least the working part) is a requirement of the job. In other words, I am willing to trade some of my sovereignty/independence for this. Any recommendations? (Just for context, I am not in the US and I'm not old.)

 

I'd really like to study genetic engineering because I find it a cool skill. But at the same time, job positions for genetic engineers are few and far inbetween. So while I'd potentially be good at something few people can do (=high paying). If I studied something like law, I'd be much more flexible geographiclally in terms of finding employment. So I'm wondering whether to aspire to a more common career and take GE as a hobby that I'm studying, or if I should double down on GE and work in a café until I find a job in that. (I might decide I want to pivot away from GE once I learn it anyway.) What do you recomend?

Let's see if they make it into the Euros

 

I know depression usually has a grave cause and astronauts have quite an active schedule. But say their family dies. Depression makes you think and perceive time differently. Surely wouldn't it become a risk to the mission? You can't steamroll over it...
