Just like for games, "no, I don't think I will". I'll let the quirks be ironed first then I'll see the reviews.
Moments later, he said, “I couldn’t talk, felt dizzy and had trouble breathing.”
The team then administered the nasal spray, and within 20 minutes Lewin had recovered."
So it's a nasal spray, not a pill. Also a pill would take longer to be metabolized leaving the venom to do its damage longer. I'd say nasal spray or inhaler is the way to go. Or better, an epipen.
So you're not hiring then. You're in the wrong place then
Oh, OK then. Hard pass from me for this little experiment. Coming from a former communist country this is the equivalent of "I guess if the neighbor is not using video to rat you to state police he's a good guy and you can trust him with your anti-communist ideas" attitude. The river bed of Danube-Black Sea channel is ridden with the bones of people who trusted their neighbors.
I was bored at work in one day, in summer 2007, and I was searching on internet free tests to test my knowledge. I did that previously in 2000 when BrainBench was new, and I even got physical diplomas from them for free. So, in this summer I searched for BrainBench again, to test me to see how much I grew during these years, and I was disappointed to find now BB was paid. So during my search I found this site oDesk, which was a freelancer site, but also allowed you to take tests. Didn't cared about freelancing part, only testing. So I took some HTML, Delphi, SQL tests there in that day. On Delphi I was proud that I was on 2nd place, while on rest I was in top 5% of all people that tested. I published that and forget about them.
In November I receive an e-mail. Someone was contacting me on my oDesk account. I was like "wtf is oDesk?". Then I remembered about the day in summer whne I got bored and made an account on that site. Long story short, that was my first client, he hired me and I realized how short I was selling myself to companies in my country. In March 2008 I quit from the day job and went full freelancer ever since. Btw, oDesk, after acquired Elance, got renamed Upwork. I still, partially, get new clients on Upwork, though most of my new clients are now through recommendations from my previous clients.
If I wasn't bored that day, if I didn't created that account, I'd still be working for a soulless corporation in my country.
It's a hassle at beginning to create the accounts but you can create a program that has an embedded browser (I use chromium) and then you can automate the tasks. Basically you just simulate keyboard and mouse over the chromium surface and the vendors are none the wise. I keep my info of each account into a local SQLite DB and the program does the automation, requiring minimal interaction from me. So the only real backup I need is that SQLite file. Rest is scattered around in the cloud with none having access to it but me.
Recently (like a month ago) I got involved in helping old people that are in villages around my town. We are a group of ~10 friends, which have relatives in those villages and as such we found out that there are old people, 70+, whom have low income pension and live alone. Their neighbors provide some help with physical activities around their house but that's all, since all are poor as well. Their pension provides them with minimal food to survive, but nothing more, basically they just wait to die.
We started to get money to help them with their medication, mainly arthritis and rheumatism, therefore our goal is to raise ~4k USD. Between us we raised ~1.5k USD, which covers the more stringent needs of their medications and that's all. The people we help are scattered around villages around Timisoara, Romania (my town) and with upcoming holidays season we feel that we'll have way less time to dedicate to this task.
Any help is appreciated. I never done anything like this before, I have 0 experience on raising money or setting up web portal, bank account or as such. I did made a mail address at helpvillagers@protonmail.com, so feel free to help me with advice, or questions there.
Thank you in advance.
This is something that always irked me about RPi's. How the fuck, you, the hardware vendor, that's suppose to know the inner guts of your product, do not have full production for its software? That you need it to rely on undisclosed 3rd party blobs!! Yes, yes, I know about the politics and the business logic that led to this situation but that was at beginning, when money were need it. Nowadays they are in a good place in that regard, might wanna pivot so they fully control everything, but I guess once you go with a bad design, the complacent around that just grows.
