15 years ago I went on a 3 month Semester at Sea study trip on a small cruise ship circumnavigating the globe.

There was only a handful of whitelisted sites available on the WiFi, otherwise you would need to pay a ton for the satellite connection or … have a staff password.

At least with my group we had a a healthy list of credentials that had been acquired in various ways. Even with occasional password changes, we managed to stay connected.

I have a 45 minute high speed train commute to a busy end-of-line station. I can sleep, read, work, or just stare out the window and think.

Same commute is probably twice as long by car during rush hour.

Really? I thought Ir. is only with a masters

One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…

Fuck that, I’m happy with my 32-hr workweek. Wouldn’t even want to do 40 again…

Dev in Europe with a comfortable life.

I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing but I do feel like an adult. The two are a bit separate in my head.

I think it’s in mastodon and not lemmy.
