Honestly it's just not a possibility in most of the dentist offices I've visited in Estonia as well as not really a thing (I don't know anyone who has ever gone under GA). Whatever horrible stuff that needs to get done gets d

General anesthesia? Here in Europe we don't do that. I had one wisdom tooth that got rotten and the injections did not help with the pain because of the infection, so the nurse held me down while the doctor pulled the tooth, me screami

Definitely depends also where. I grew up in the 90's, in Estonia, and had the exact same childhood as you did. Now it's the 20's and from what I can see, not much has changed here. There are certainly more rules and regulatio

This is neat. I actually built a static site generator[0] that uses Clojure for the templating language, and that enables me to do some things like build my own RSS feed [1] or a custom archive front page [2]. Pretty happy with this over Ha

That's super cool! I'd love to have a dog as a supervisor. Unfortunately it's a bit harder to do in Europe where people don't generally live (or can afford) houses and tend to live in big cramped cities instead (I live i

One of my "retirement" daydreams is to have a garage where I'd spend my days doing woodwork. There's something about building things with your bare hands that is very appealing to me.

I'm not sure this makes sense. My wife is learning front-end development now as I did 15 years ago and holy shit, to get an actual job you need to basically somehow magically become a mid-level engineer. Unit/automated testing, my

So then that makes me wonder, why work there? For the prestige? For having a bad-ass CV entry? I've spent my 11 year career working in start-ups and companies that nobody knows about, I get paid enough to be in top 2% earners in EU, I

I am a "nomad", but I usually stay in one country for an entire year. The reason why most people stay 3-6 months is because of visa restrictions, which forces people to do country hopping. I don't have visa restrictions betwe

Well yes and no. The line would visually become longer, but if we're talking enforced line length by IDE's, say 80 characters, then the line would still be 80 characters long, but just take up visually more horizontal space and so

Spouses work these days and more and more people choose not to have kids, optimizing for _their_ life quality rather than someone elses. So I wouldn't say that stress only increases. Stress only increases if you want the stress, otherw

Damn, yeah, biggest is 1000 now I think, and even that is worth only around 4 USD (unofficial rate). That'll buy you milk, bread and butter or ~4 beers.

When I got married the prenup was just a checkbox (yes/no) on the application form. I ticked yes of course, because I don't know anyone in Europe who in their sound mind would want to lose half of what they have (or more?) during
