How to win friends and influence people.

Require you to have a linkedin account to continue. Depressing. I gave up.

Here is something I did that actually worked.

I had the same issue, and I was new to the company. The guy looked like he hated my guts. So I tried to look for something he really wanted and did him a favour. This could be anything really. Then I tried building relationship slowly and it worked. If you go to your manager now, he may think you are not ready for leadership. Sometimes you have to deal with issues by yourself.

If you tried everything, then try and have a talk with your manager. But before you go to see her/him, be prepared to explain the issue and the solution. Otherwise you will be seeing as the "complainer" who can't work with other people.

This was actually a very insightful comment, and I say this as a muslim. What books would you recommend to go deeper into these theme?

Where did I mention the NHS? I'm referring to the government downplaying the impact of the vaccine. Which could be true, because millions of people got the vaccine and only a few had the clot issue. But I would rather believe the german version on this.

This. I've lived in both Germany and UK and from my humble experience with both the government and the health standards, I think it's more likely the UK/AZ are downplaying this. It could be that they are right and the impact is minimal given that millions of people have been vaccinated. But I do believe the german version here more. The tory government can't be trusted.

Do you have past projects you completed that you can show please?

Could you please share your monthly expenses. I found this fascinating.

I'd rather have your help because you are eager to help and probably the patience to understand my problem, than having an expert who doesn't care and just want to get over with it.

As a muslim, I can tell you that muslims and even non-muslims care a lot. It's a human thing.

Muslim countries are 99% dictatorships, where the leadership doesn't even care about their own people.

> my electricity and gas bill (combined) peaked at $1200/mont

That is insane. Why so high? are these normal rates in the US?

I pay £100-£120 for electricity (no gas here).

> 1. Make the distances really really big 2. Put a speed limit in the environment

Or 3. Don't give humans capabilities to see them. Hell, I'd go even further, what if the "others" are already living on our planet, but we can't see them?

Vacuum robot cleaner.

Man was I sceptic about these things and thought they were just marketing. I bought one a few months ago and it's an amazing piece of technology.

> Could it also be that there is still a bit of a stigma in male circles, for that type of work?

No it's not. You are actually considered a genius if you work in STEM in general

> sitting at your desk "playing" with computers is probably not respected as much as elsewhere.

I'd say this changed in the last decade a lot. But there is a difference between sitting home playing video games while jobless and working in STEM.

Macula carotenoids: lutein , zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin

For eye health. I actually only went for this supplement because the BBC had a documentary about it and it proved to be helpful for the eyes.
