Just a couple of years back, you would get replacable batteries, at least from “phone shops” with dedicated tools.
Designing a water tight enclosure which can be opened to replace a battery isn’t exactly rocket science. It doesn’t need to be as easy as a fairphone.
Sure some brands will do malicious conpliance and guess what, people will bux from other brands.
Location is the most iportant, meaning that the realistic option is appartment
Can get fresh breakfast on the week-end with a 5 minutes walk, and do not need to plan a weekly grocery trip when I have everything down the stairs
Do not need to drive home if I get a drink
Have access to tons of activities within a reasonable distance, no matter whether I want to learn Korean, watch stand-up comedy or listen to underground heavy metal
Kids can quickly get some autonomy compared to suburb where road are full of cars and parents need a car to go every where.

Lemmings are real ? I thought it was video-game characters
Clear and accessible policies, and in general HR being at least honest and consistent with what’s written there. I know what kind of hotel I can book, or whether I am eligible to an upgrade when travelling, and don’t have to ask to get my double-pay when working on sunday. It’s a pitty that this bare minimum isn’t guaranteed in many employers
With my limited experience, (Free flight and powered ultra-light), in most cases it’s a genuine mistake, either because you’re not familiar with where you are, badly estimated the drift due to the wind, mixed two landmarks, and ended-up in a restricted airspace (Even a simple free flight GPS would solve these issues) or, for commercial flight under ATC supervision you mixed up frequencies and didn’t replied to the radio for a while.
An important thing is check whether the plane is OK not replying to ATC may-also mean that you have a fire on board and loss electrical system, or are already burning on the ground (I believe fighter jet were scrambled for the Air-Berlin suicide/mass murder but by the time they were on site, the plane was already on the ground) and most likely capture an image from the cockpit which may be used for further legal developments.
Then in principle, to get your pilots licence, even for an ultra-light you’re expected to know that if a fighter jet rock their wings near you it means follow me_
Thunderbird on Desktop, and K9 on mobile
Regarding e-mail provider, I used to recommend proton, but they end-up supporting the current US administration like anyone else, so I would say buy a domain and use the associated e-mail
This is IMO the most awful stuff in these economy,
You have a couple of actors/singers who earn insane amount of money.
Then you have a large chunk who by mixing teaching, local theatre/bars, and some extra, get from a living wage, to a well-paid job.
And finally you have a majority who struggle.
All of that mostly based on being at the right place at the right time, and having the right friends
Which language do you speak? While many employer, especially in qualified field not working with public may accommodate English speakers, it’s not as universal as you may think.
In qualified job, expect a loss of salary, well a part of it is covered by healthcare, daycare, school and more but at least at my work rk US laboar is more expensive when budgeting projects
You’re an immigrant, expect to deal with all the associated bullshit
It’s not like we don’t have our share of far right politicians who hate everyone including themselve
No idea on how bad it is,
From my understanding regarding French cops, A big issue is that the ranking at the end of training defines who choose their position first. Guess what happens : The cop who thrived in training will either go to a nice medium town in southern France to get a steady a job without too much stress, or take an interesting job in prestigious unit like crime-brigade (which would kickstart the rest of their carrer), while the one who barely passed end-up in a bad neighbourhood, resulting in high crime/bad neighbourhood end up with the worst cop of the country while the place who don’t need much cops get the best ones.
Government services aren’t company, and some do develop technology, place like US national institute of Health, or US NASA, or US department of Energy come to my mind, but any first world nation would have tons of similar things. As usual doesn’t mean there is no bullshit to deal with (You know the saying about reserarcher main job is to look for fundings)
Then there is FOSS sofware some of them being managed by non profit who can afford to pay their developers
finally, there is a whole non profit/charity/coop part of the economy, and considering the weigh of technology, you may have some jobs linked to technology. (But managing let’s say the “red cross ERP” sounds as awful as managing any other corporate ERP)
As usual, weight is driven by Calorie in - Calorie out. If it’s positive you gain weight, if it’s negative you loose weigt.
Your brother is a tall, young male, all of that would point toward a relatively high calorie out also without knowing him in details it’s hard to evaluate. There is always that person taking desert twice when out, but skipping lunch on regular day while doing a lot of sport.
Then comes the part LOL is a popular and well known brand, so doing something even remotely linked to it will drag an audience. Remember how the World war Z movie ignored the books but paid licencing fee for the title (and the associated _brand recognition)
You can make a movie/serie out of any content, and LOL was (is ?) pretty popular. Yes OK may-be a farming simulator the serie won’t be that great. But if you have some basic setting, and some factions competing for power you can develop in any direction
No idea how law works where you are. But having a folding table might require some different licencing compared to just standing up and giving pamphlet which in democratic countries is a right.
Welcome back,
You’ll see the same communities/magazine no matter what’s the instance you use. However, some delay due to federation is possible, it’s espacially a problem with .world due to their relative weight.
The local feed means you’ll see post from your instance, which may-be interesting as you’ll see content you like if you choose a thematic instance, but it’s not a blocking feature.
Then there is a bunch of weird instance, like grad where right-winger are role-playing being leftist by shit-posting on how much they love Kim il sun or Vladimir Putin. these are defederated by most big instances and you won’t see their content (and believe me, you miss nothing)
