Utilize, when they mean Use.

I wish work profiles were more separate. My company’s work profile ended up locking me out of my phone (including the personal profile) and forced me to wipe and start over with it. They disabled fingerprint unlock and required my unlock password to change monthly, and I got the periodic “you have to change your password NOW” notice while plugged into my car with Android Auto. I couldn’t enter a new password and the phone never unlocked again.

I know, probably a super rare set of circumstances, but I’m not going to allow my work to root my phone again. They can buy me a phone if they need so much control.

Yes. Most people stop making more when they have enough.

People who don’t stop are already broken and corrupted. They have nothing better to do. No better idea. No other desire. Than to accumulate more. It’s degenerate, sad, to keep wanting more, to feel that hunger when it is already satiated. Like a rat addicted to cocaine, still pushing itself to push the button for more and more.

I’ll add that even when you’re an expert in both languages, it’s common to see WTF’s in the original and not be sure if something is a bug or just weird behavior that’s now expected. Especially when going from a looser to a more strict language.

I’ve translated huge projects and most of the risk is in “you know the original would do the wrong thing in these x circumstances – I’m pretty sure that’s not on purpose but… Maybe? Or maybe now someone depends on it being wrong like this?”

I found HAM folks super welcoming. I came to take the entry level test and they encouraged me to take the next level one at the same time, and generously offered to help me pass it.

By time required before you can truly be in and accepted as one (not just a tourist)

• Rural folk
• Expedition sports
• Biker gangs
• Private pilots
• Some festivals

I’m sorry but I just don’t understand where you are at. I feel you are adopting this “I’m a very private person” label as an armor to close yourself off from a closer relationship with your family. I’m very much an introvert with my own internal world, and yet I feel people are probably the point of life. Relationships are not always comfortable, but I feel that discomfort is part of the fun-- to approach it with curiosity to see what happens and as a growth opportunity to see how you’ll practice communicating with the other person with openness and vulnerability. To me that’s way more fun and interesting than shutting down yourself and others with a priori rules.

I was very happy with Chromecast until last year, when they replaced the screensaver of family photos (from Google Photos) with ads. So I replaced all of the Chromecasts in our house with Apple TVs.
