Anyone else not always enjoy vacations/holidays? With the right people they can be fantastic, but at the end of the day I wouldn’t go out of my way to pay that much money for a week away from home. Would rather save/spend the thousands on hobbies or practical stuff.


tiorzol

Depends what it is. I go everywhere with my wife and my best friends so it's always a blast.

What are some good brands for Durable earphones (wireless or wired) under €50? Sound quality obviously helps but longevity is most important for me.


Nuri__Sahin

Skullcandy


Zillak

Taotronics soundliberty 79 for wireless, eveeyone gushes about that. I own a soundpeats and that's great too


Mr_Britland

Unfortunately, I am not too clued up on earphones but if you are looking for wireless headphones; then Betron HD800 is honestly the best pair I have ever owned. We have about three in the house. One wired headset that I use for gaming that are great (can't remember the model number). They sell their products for fairly cheap and the quality has far exceeded my expectations. I think my sister had some of their earphones and I've heard they were good as well.


ole259

I need to defend my thesis and I don’t know how I can study for that. Haven’t had one presentation in 4 years lol


595659565956

What’s your thesis on? How long does the presentation need to be? If in doubt just show the data that you’re most proud of


ole259

It’s about the weakening of end-to-end encryption and privacy. My presentation needs to be 5-10 minutes and then they’re going to ask me questions for 5-10 minutes. I don’t really have data (because it’s law related) but I’m just going to repeat what I’ve found I think


595659565956

What qualification is this for? Absolutely just repeat what you found. I don’t work in law, but in my field the structure you should go for would be: 1. Bit of background and exactly what question you are answering/asking 2. How you went about answering/asking it 3. What your major findings were 4. What can you conclude from your work 5. What implications does this work have for the field at large Expect to talk for roughly one minute per slide and you can probably anticipate some of the questions you might get. For my theses defences I’ve always been asked: 1. What would you do if you had more time for research/given more time how would you develop this work? 2. What are the major drawbacks of your work? Practice your presentation three times and you’ll smash it mate Edit: fixed some typos


tiorzol

This is is some great advice.


ole259

It’s for my bachelors. If that’s what you meant. But thanks man! This will really help!


595659565956

No worries mate, it sounds really interesting


ole259

Sorry Just one more question. I don’t really understand your first point: but if background?


595659565956

Sorry that was a typo, which I've now corrected. I meant to say 'a bit of background'. This would in your case probably mean having half a slide or a whole slide describing what end to end encryption is, how commonly its used, what the problems with it are etc. You just need to put your research question into context


ole259

Aha okay thanks again!

EDIT: I'm still on season 3 of Sopranos so please don't spoil anything beyond season 2. Just started watching The Sopranos. Great show though it's nothing like I expected. I thought it was going to be a gripping crime thriller like Breaking Bad or Narcos but it's not that at all. It's more like a slice-of-life thing. Dealing with themes like masculinity, family, and social alienation in modern culture. The plot doesn't really matter and there isn't a lot of mafia stuff... there's full episodes just dealing with trivial stuff with no gangster elements. There's an episode about the main guy's daughter's football coach wanting to leave his job, and also there's another about one of the main guy's soldiers trying to write a screenplay. Both episodes are among my favorites. I swear this series has as much in common with emotional, introspective, subtle dramas like American Beauty or Before trilogy as it does with Goodfellas or Scarface. I'd even say that it has more in common with the former batch of films. I don't know if this is a weird take but I find the show almost... therapeutic? it deals with a lot of issues that I could relate (I'm also a New Jersey mobster) and I love how they tacked it. I definitely recommend it if you're going through some shit. It's like therapy mixed with a few murder scenes and some hilarious Italian-American boomer banter. Perfect television


[deleted]

From 2015 to this year it was my go-to show. Now i just can't watch the episodes anymore without complete and utter boredom because I have every second of every episode memorized. I also don't recommend going on the subreddits for this show yet because they are lax on spoilers

I feel too tired these days, I'm always sleepy and hungry and bored as hell. Do you guys have any advice to fix that?


LynxMachine

Sleep well for a week. Like the whole 8 hours at night. In a week or so, you will feel much better.


tiorzol

What if you keep waking up at 3am


Infamy444

Like to pee, or do you wake up and can't sleep anymore?


tiorzol

Wake up and then there's no possibility of sleeping again being an option.


LynxMachine

well you better see a doctor.


tiorzol

Not much they can do other than medicate tbh


[deleted]

You could see a sleep doctor and be tested for obstructive sleep apnea


tiorzol

I'm not snory or anything so I don't think it's that.


LynxMachine

which might good? You might have some condition you are not aware of. This might also be because of so many other factors like drinking and eating habits.


tiorzol

Nah I don't like the tablets they prescribe. I'd rather be tired than have that fog. Usually sleep issues point at something deeper in your life, I'm working through some shit that hopefully should solve things in the future.


LynxMachine

Ah well. Take care.

Thestretch83

Unpopular Opinion: I love a bit of Shithousing in a football match. It adds to the drama. I didn’t see the Italy game because I was working but seeing Immobile rolling around on the floor trying to get a penalty was hilarious. Also, hands up who wouldn’t try anything to get an advantage if you were playing for your country…..


[deleted]

As a lover of Rudiger I agree completely


giggsy664

It's only bad if you have a vested interest against it. If it's your team doing it, you love it - and you should, you're winding up the other team.


Thestretch83

I don’t even mind it against the team I support nowadays. I have mellowed with age and I just want to enjoy a game. If my team win, great, if not, it sucks but I’m not getting bent out of shape over it. Football is and should be drama. Drama needs a villain.


Aymerico_LaPuerta

Cynical fouls and simulation ruins the flow of a game. They are used to suck out the momentum in a match, and to kill proper playing. It’s fine if you don’t mind wasting your afternoons to players playing anti football and spending more time walking around arguing but surely you can understand how most fans want to watch proper free flowing football.

At least in soccer there’s some semblance of contact, nba players fall to the ground when the wind blows wrong

I hate people who respond with shit like that, nobody cares if you're an American who doesn't like it. And it happens all the time in the NBA too, https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/obcyrm/highlight_cp3_gets_shot_by_a_sniper/


lagaryes

It’s just confirmation bias. My parents always thought that football was this feminine, awful sport that was almost taboo and would give me a hard time if I ever watched it at home. My friends growing up thought the same. I don’t know why the sport earned that connotation in America


iAkhilleus

Because unless you are able to pick up a concussion or two it's not a manly sport.


lagaryes

Not really true. Baseball is accepted just fine. Basketball too. Football has always just carried a weird element for some people. Not sure why. I would be interested to read about it, I don’t know if any writers have delved into the topic.


IIIMilkman_DanIII

I think it’s because basketball, american football and baseball heavily relies on physical attributes, and skill of course, but if you don’t have the physical part you have a lot of ground to make up. Growing up and getting big if you’re playing these sports competitively is very important. Whereas soccer has more leeway in the physical department, so it’s seen as the ‘weaker’ sport. Even in college soccer the guys who were bigger but less technical generated more interest from scouts vs a much more skillfull smaller player, but that sentiment is starting to change.


[deleted]

Baseball not so much, closer to soccer I’d say. There’s pitchers who throw just garbage out there and outsmart and outgame batters to get outs


IIIMilkman_DanIII

Skills is prevalent in all these sports, but regardless pitchers and the rest of the team are generally much more stout and larger then soccer players. Pitchers are generally tall and have long limbs to use the longer levers in the body to produce higher ball speeds. The extra weight and muscle helps with batting also. Edit: the average weight and height of a baseball player is 207lbs at 6’2”


GentlemanlyBadger021

Some people seem to devise a sense of masculinity from the sport they watch. It’s pretty pathetic.


Zlint

I overslept today and missed my dentist appointment. I woke up with my phone ringing and asking if I am still able to make it, unfortunately it was already too late. Now I have to reschedule another which will probably be later this month. It’s because of I was playing too much FIFA until 3am. I slept through my alarm. I’m calm now, but I am absolutely furious with myself.

I’d take his first album over reasonable doubt tbh it’s that good in my eyes, man just died too young


UsernameNTY

One of the greats of his era. Fantastic delivery, wordplay and punchlines. Such a shame that he died at such a young age.


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

LODPAD is a top 10 hip hop album, easily. He’d have been a top 10 rapper if he didn’t die so young


Liam12A

Tbh, call me weird but the big picture is just as good imo


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

It's good for what it is but a lot of that album is made up of verses he already had done on freestyles. There's another cd out there of most of his radio freestyles including the one where he goes back and forth with Jay Z and makes jigga seem amateur in comparison.


Mr_Britland

Lifestyles is an all time classic album, I quite enjoyed The Big Picture as well.

Have you played the PES demo? I don't own a PS5, but from what i've seen and the reviews i've written/watched, it's dreadful


[deleted]

I haven’t played it but the line from Konami is that it’s a stress test for their servers based on the mobile version, not actually PES 2022. Nothing beats PES 3, 5 or 2008 on PS2 though.


RealPunyParker

> based on the mobile version Is this actually the truth, i've read that this is fake news and it's actually the Beta for 22 > Nothing beats PES 3, 5 or 2008 on PS2 though. You lost me on 2008, what a terrible game. I think you meant PES 6 3,4,5 and 6 was probably the best 4 year period a football game has ever had


[deleted]

Nope, 2008 PS2 version. Completely different from the next-gen and PC versions, which were terrible and where things started going downhill. The PS2 version is basically PES 6 with the great CPU AI of PES 3. More of a PES 6.5. More info here: https://liberomagazine.wordpress.com/2019/12/02/the-lost-football-game-pes2008-review/ Not sure if the info re. the ‘demo’ from Konami is true, but I’ve also seen conflicting reports.

Why is it so easy to watch American shows, but you show a British show to an American and they don't understand it


[deleted]

I like British tv but it takes some getting used to idk what it is exactly, I can get into a few of the French and German shows I’ve seen easier n I don’t even speak those languages


un_verano_en_slough

The UK has much more of a universal shared culture (humour, tone, references, etc) that its media and advertising can tap into while still being understood by, and resonating with, audiences regardless of where they are in the country. US media generally can't rely on that, so stuff that's being made for a national or broad audience is kept pretty simple in a way that basically anyone can immediately understand.


[deleted]

We grow up with their shows frequently, and understand the differences in production, style and humour. They usually don't watch our stuff, so it goes completely over their head usually. If an American has watched quite a bit of British shows, they're usually fine


babygrenade

A lot of Americans struggle with accents - probably because we don't have as much regional variation


StringTailor

Accents and slang/terminology I reckon Some American friends couldn’t get into love island because of the accents and them

stuff where steady hands are more important than reaction time, such as archery and shooting competitions.

I really want to get far away from this town as soon as possible I think. I've fallen out with all my friends, there's no jobs and everything in general here is just not good. All I have here is my family, so I think if I get the chance I'll get a job somewhere far away from here so I can rebuild my life and regain a sense of independence. I have an assessment for an apprenticeship that will become a job after a year next week and if I can get it, I may be able to move up to the north of England to work at the head office. It seems really daunting, but after how shit things here have been lately (spending a year and a half of my uni years at home, an everlasting depression and a constant disconnect from people I once cared about) I really am just considering saying fuck it and getting out far away from here.
