Exactly. In an ideal world this type of thing would be enough, but that's not the world we live in, and charity like this is just not going to cut it. That's not to say that it isn't a kind gesture, though.

Sounds like suicide to me. I feel like Boeing is still largely at fault for bringing him to that point though.

I think I will switch to Linux, possibly dual boot with Win 11 just in case there are games I can't play on Linux.

By that reasoning knowing how to screen share is crucial knowledge for all high-paid jobs

Or, you know, if you read the prompt before sending, look at the question after you've selected it, or just read your own work once. This method will only work if students are being really stupid about cheating.

Not to be one of those people, but the poster you sent is actually not Swedish. The first sentence is either Danish or Norwegian. You're still right about the word fart meaning something different in Swedish though.

Tbh I like the convenience of not being physically attached to my phone when listening to music. That said, the removal of headphone jacks from phones is a disgrace.

Tbh my only gripe with this post is the assumption that because a man is explaining something to a group of women, it's automatically mansplaining. Although I guess it's a joke so whatever.

Transferring files that way actually seems really useful, I did not think of that

I don't think etiher is implied here, but sure, I suppose it can be a conversation starter.

Thanks, that's one of my main goals in life.

I can definitely see the point if it's literally all there is in the feed, but if you just watch things from people you disagree with from time to time, and the algorithm picks up on it, there's bound to be a few things in your feed that might "look bad" if they are used to draw conclusions about your worldview from someone who doesn't know you.

 

Looking for a tailor who can repair textiles. I have had the loop which holds the belt on a pair of my jeans come loose due to the thread breaking, as well as one of the buttons on a bag of mine break. Is there anywhere in Taipei I could get these repaired? I guess it shouldn't be too difficult for someone who knows what they're doing to fix this, but I have no clue where to go for something like this and I can't fix it myself. Any info is appreciated! :)

 

I'm going on an exchange to Taiwan this fall, and am going to study at NTU. There are very affordable dorm rooms on campus, which I have applied to, but there is no guarantee of getting a room. Therefore I am looking into alternative solutions if necessary.

Ideally I'd like a solo studio apartment somewhere near NTU (or quickly accessible using public transit), but I am also willing to share an apartment. My budget is realistically maximum 25000 NTD/month, but I may be able to stretch it to 30000/month if necessary.

I am aware of the Facebook groups and have joined a large number of them. I will definitely keep an eye out there.

I tried going on 591.com.tw, but since I don't yet read or speak any Mandarin I wasn't able to figure it out.

Do the members of this community have any general advice about renting or living in Taipei, or specific tips for places to look? I'm interested in any and all information about this! :)
