In my 60's now, in my late 20's due to a layoff I ended up taking a year long "Sabbatical".
It wasn't planned and I didn't have the finances setup but I made it work and spent my time doing volunteer work, some personal spiritual exploration and low cost travel.
Granted, single, no one needing me for anything, so your mileage may vary.
For me, best decision ever. I really enjoyed getting to point of not knowing what day it was.
I was interviewed by the Union Trib in the late 80's about home affordability.
Between the Sunshine Tax and thin strip of land that everyone wants to live in, and there is no solution to affordability. (Except the usual go So Cal go east until the price drops)
Yeah, you can’t even use density all that well near the coast since everyone will sue if you block their view by building higher and coastal erosion/earthquake safety increases the cost a lot. The best idea I’ve had is more inland density paired with bike highways and transit so people can go to the beach without spending 40 minutes inching around PB looking for cheap parking.
I was seeing the same with my Pixel Buds. I've started to give them a little extra nudge when I put them back in the case and that has seemed to eliminated the issue for me.
I’ve had to move around my airpods to get them to charge but often times when i close the case they stop charging. I will never again Apple headphones.
Knowing != passing the interview. They are in different layers. Any cs student would know about things like the hashmap, stack, queues, linked list. You encounter those data structures everyday especially when you are doing debugging the source code.
That's still different compare to interview though because you need to explain, code, solve a question under 20-30 minutes. It's not hard if given enough time. But most people would need to practice some questions before going into those questions so that they can solve those under the time limit.
Have done a couple of sleep studies, no apnea, but snored terribly. (Have snored my whole life)
During the studies they had me try a CPAP, none chance I would ever be able to wear one. I have a strong gag reflex.
I've worn a number of mouth guards, all fitted by my dentist. I wore them for about 25 years. Absolutely noticed the change in my bite, but was will to put up with it to allow my wife to sleep at night.
I've now changed out to device that holds my tongue. Much less stress on my jaw and works just as well as any of the mouth guards.
Which device do you use? I'm also a heavy snorer, but tested for apnea and came back negative. I've used a mouth guard that was supposed to be fitted but the drooling and the jaw pain makes it impossible for me to use consistently.
