Just use wise or revolut.

"Just" get another bank account before travelling. Right...

I meant that as more of a long term solution. Even if your domestic bank supports overseas payments, they most likely screw you on the fx rates, so just get a specialised card like Wise or Revolut.

It's free, their tech is great and their fx rates are more than fair.

How do you explain people losing their jobs to AI atm?

Coming from outside the US, I was shocked to see how many drivers were on their phones _while the car is in motion_, scrolling Instagram or similar.

Tunic's true ending is unfairly difficult to find. Fun, and obviously attainable, but unfair.

It asks for a very different skill level than Outer Wilds, for sure.

On the other hand, it gets extra points for the in-game manual booklet. The mechanics, the metaphor, and the gorgeous execution should be required material in game design classes.


A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

I would instantly lose my job if I did that.


Why would you lose your job for posting about and publishing your personal projects?


Conflict of interest and retaliation.

Just last week my friend told me a senior manager in a meeting made a passive aggressive comment about “I don’t know why the team is so busy and can’t take on more work right now, when they seem to have time working on other personal projects”. Referring directly to someone that was in their org who had just posted about some personal project work on LinkedIn.

It happens all the time…companies don’t like (or don’t approve) of work outside of work.


"Come right in, the water is fine" said the frog in the pot.


As a legal immigrant, I’m not in the pot because I didn’t enter the country by breaking the law.


Nor did the Navajo enter the country by breaking the law.

I call that a lack of situational awareness…
