  • I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve also been to Italy, specifically to Napoli, and just the dough alone is phenomenal, something between pancake and bread. Then the fresh tomatoes and mozzarella on top with the fresh basil leaves for the something extra - perfect balance, heaven in my mouth!

    I’ve also been to the US (west coast, Portland) and Jebus, that was terrible. First they don’t give you a pizza but a slice of pizza, then it’s reheated because they make a lot of it and can’t sell it fresh. The toppings is dry ham and tasteless cheese, a ton of cheese, but just flavorless cheese. I tried in a couple of places there with practically the same result. Thanks, but no thanks.

    The Swedish pizza is probably what I would say is what you’re talking about, tons of toppings and decent dough.

    Oh my god how I hated those headphones with cable. I destroyed at least 3 phones because of them. I would have them in and walk and would want to do something on the phone and suddenly I’d get caught on the cable while moving and the cable would jerk the phone out of my hand and it would land on the asphalt and the screen would break. And fixing the screen is so expensive, it’s better to buy a new phone, or just live with a broken screen where you cut your fingers on.

    Since I switched to Bluetooth headphones this literary never happened again. And every single one of the problems described here has a fairly good solution, at least with the Samsung ones I have:

    • I need to charge them perhaps once every two weeks, so I really don’t remember when they would have been without charge at a inconvenient time.

    • I can find them by several means:

      • They’re connected to the find my device samsung network, so even if they are not close they will be picked up by other Samsung devices. I forgot them at a hotel 500km away, searched for them and found them
      • I can play a sound
      • The Bluetooth can show me to which direction to go and how far away they are
    • They never lost Bluetooth connection, I can even connect them to two devices at the same time

    The only point would be the cost, they do cost a lot more. But compared to buying a new phone constantly because the cable hangs somewhere and jerks the phone out of your hand, even this is undeniably cheaper.








  • I moved a lot during my life, living in the 4th country now, stayed in each one for about 15 years. Therefore I had to find friends from outside of school.

    Here is a list of how I found them:

    20’s:
    - through my cousin, he was a coworker with my future best friend
    - started a band with a friend and his cousin, then we kicked out the friend and got a better drummer. Through the band we met a ton of other musicians while playing life and became friends with them
    - I joined a IRC channel about writing HTML and CSS, once a year we met in real life. Over time I became closer friends with some of them and we visited each other semi regularly. We still hang in the same chatroom, over 20 years ago. Half of us moved abroad, so we can’t meet IRL that often anymore, but we are still friends
    - after moving countries I made a house warming party and asked my (now ex) wife’s brother to invite his friends, I brought 50 liters of beer from Germany to this party in Sweden. This group became my core group of friends even after the divorce

    30’s:
    - work, I became very good friend with one of my coworkers, we even started a new company together because I was the only one who wasn’t afried to try it
    - university, yeah normal
    - one uni friend pulled me in to the company he worked for where there were very many super cool guys and I became friends with many of them. Even now like 7 years after we don’t work together we still meet regularly for grill parties, etc.

    40’s:
    - after another move, to South Korea, this one is tough because I still don’t speak the language, but after we got our son, my fiancé opened a public group on the Internet for couples who have a small child and one of the parents is a foreigner. Many of them don’t quite fit me as friends but we still meet some of them for play dates and so on so our friendship is growing
    - I was on the playground and there was another foreigner dad and we started talking about the kids and everything else, then we exchanges phone numbers and are meeting regularly and it’s fun because conversations are easy, so he is the clothest thing to a friend I have here. But I have no idea how it would go if I need help in some bad situation, etc. because we didn’t have any yet.

    So yeah, this is kind of where I found my friends outside of school. Perhaps it can be some inspiration for you.
