Stay

Massively underrated film imo.

As a German, I feel you.

Recommendations would probably depend a lot on what kind of books you like.

One I read recently and loved is “Extremely loud and incredibly close” by Jonathan Safran Foer.

I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

By far the most American thing I’ve read in a while.

Answering the question: How about reading some books?

Get well soon, OP!

I was talking to a colleague in the office hallway who was holding an empty coffee mug. He fumbled with it a bit until it slipped out of his hands. He tried to catch it, got it, it slipped again, and again, and again. He juggled with that thing for what felt like an eternity until he finally caught it safely. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Then make it easier for her to retrieve a password. A vault is not a good place. Give her a little notebook she can put in a shelf or drawer.

This, and it should be passwords she chooses and can remember (at least the ones she uses the most). Not some random mix of letters and numbers.

Also let her save them in her browser.

I don’t mean to be rude, but maybe stop forcing her to use a tool that you like but she doesn’t. I’m tech savvy but I also think that password managers are a pain in the ass to use. Just let her choose a password of her choice for every service, give her a little paper notebook and let her note down all the passwords. Tell her to make them long and secure and different for every service. Tell her to store the notebook in a safe place. Done.

The movie “Stay” got some really bad reviews. I was absolutely blown away by it and it is one of my favourite movies of all time.

I’m German. One day my house was being renovated and they were working with jackhammers to remove parts of the facade. It was incredibly loud and I couldn’t bear it. I lived close to university and had recently stopped working in one of the institutes. I knew though that my former colleagues had couches in some of their offices so I thought I’d give them a visit. I walked over to the institute and greeted my Australian former coworker. I explained about the noise in my house and said I was “looking for asylum”. Knowing the word “asylum” only from written language, I had no idea it was not actually pronounced “ay suh lum”. He asked “you’re looking for what?” as he obviously hadn’t understood. I repeated “ay suh lum” confidently and he politely said “ah”. Not long after, I learned the correct pronunciation of asylum and that memory has haunted me ever since. It’s been almost 10 years but I still cringe about it.

I think those are the best ones.

Honestly, if that is your impression, I think you’re using it wrong and expecting the wrong results from it.

My Ampler E-Bike I bought 2 years ago. More than 5000 km later I still love it to bits.

Not sure if that counts as technology, but simple LED lights over my kitchen counter (mounted under the upper cabinets) were a pretty inexpensive purchase that made my life significantly better. I don’t understand now how I was ever able to cook with just the ceiling lights on, it’s absolutely terrible.

I keep telling myself I need to start using a password manager but I’m worried I won’t be able to log into things on my phone or other devices like my work computer when I need to because I don’t know the password. Is that a legitimate worry or is there a solution for this? How do you sync passwords between computer and phone?

Not sure but this might be genius.

Interesting. Loved that book!
