  • It’s mostly the “hobby” bit, which implies that this is one of your favorite, regular free-time activities. If you are someone who smokes weed a few times a year in social situations, that is a different situation.

    A lot of people would find it difficult to be around someone who spends their time smoking unless they are really into it too. The smell especially can be really grating/annoying, and the person smoking often doesn’t realize because they have become smell-blind over time (similar to tobacco smokers).









  • Not nearly as much of either. I went to both US and German universities and the difference was huge.

    In German university there was really only loosely-organized recreational sports. You know… for normal students to enjoy. Professional athletes start their careers at professional clubs (which are much more prevalent than in the US due to how leagues are organized) rather than at universities.

    In Germany there was also much less interacting with the administration. You basically only interacted with them when you started your degree and then once you could prove you were done. It’s much more ‘on you’ to figure things out and organize things compared to the US.







  • Yeah that’s basically what I did too.

    I just installed dash to dock and made the icons quite large, then rebound a button on my air-mouse to the super key (to bring up the dash). I also installed Just Perfection and used it to hide the top bar unless the dash is open.

    90% of the time, I’m just using Firefox, so I don’t need anything too fancy.




  • They may not have much money left over after downsizing, however. In markets like California the value is almost entirely from the land. The comparative value of the house (even a 5 bed) is comparatively negligible. So a 5 bed on a small plot would cost almost the same as a 1 bed on the same plot. In Silicon Valley it’s really common to just buy a house and knock it down and rebuild, since the cost of building a new house is much less than the cost of the land.

    It’s a genuine issue that the liquidity of the real estate market is impacted by this.
