I'm 31 now and I woke up a few days ago with a painful left ankle joint. Didn't do anything wrong with it, just woke up like that. Now walking hurts. Went to the doctor, she said structurally everything is fine and it could have to do with the shape of my feet, that that joint and tendons overcompensate and I finally started feeling that. Now I need to get insoles to compensate.

I hope the worst pain will pass soon, I'm taking it easy but it kinda sucks.

Where do you live?

5 dollars for a bad beer?? I pay 3 euros for a great beer!

What's a designer drink and why would I pay 25 dollars for it

But I love my British and Scandinavian detective series. They're great!

I like the work culture in the Netherlands, on the whole, there's a focus on work/life balance. I get to spend a day per week with my kids and I only lose 30% of the pay of that day.

After I spend those days, which are 45 total, I can still spend a day in the week with my kid, unpaid. But my boss cannot block me from doing that and needs to keep my 40 hour contract intact for when I want to resume my full-time work.

Also I don't actually lose 20% of my pay, but due to government help I lose about 12% doing this unpaid day.

I'm not sure it would change my life. It's a mild version so I don't need meds, just some tools to manage it. It would cost time and money, with very little payoff.

Same, 31 now and I think I have a mild version of the inattentive type. My wife opened my mind to it, I won't go for a diagnosis but having resources to help me improve and deal better with it are great.

I use perplexity as my main go to if i want to use an LLM, since they have access to a wide scale of models. It was correct in the cases you mentioned. It's a tool focused on correctness of information and I've had it hallucinate a lot less than other tools.

Give it a shot if you're looking for one that focuses on correctness of information. It searches the Web and then feeds the results into the model you choose.

You can also tell it to only use academic papers, social discussions, or SEC filings.

4 weeks by law in the Netherlands, usually the union adds another week to that.
