I'd have given you that as a fair point if it hadn't said "x minute drive - home" next to the pin while I was checking a store's location on my work laptop at work (while signed in to my personal account)

IMO - only flown the A380 a few times, but never felt turbulent (may just be my luck). A350 is quiet AF compared to the 787 (flew them back to back on a flight through Qatar) One thing I do love about the 787 though is the big windows - tal

This is one of my favourite ways to travel (when feasible), but if there's somewhere you want to go, just go. I was lucky to work in a city full of expats - so I now have friends all over the world to lean on. In return, they lean on m

First mention I see of hired. Used it while I was looking for jobs in London - definitely something I can recommend to get your foot in the door, especially for people who need visa sponsorship (at least that was my scenario)

eh, could've condensed the whole book to about 1/3 the size. It took me about 8 months to read it cos it was so hard to keep trudging through. In hindsight I do somewhat like the gist of the book though.

Personally solved this years ago - turn off Wi-Fi was data when I head to bed, that way only calls (usually urgent) wake me up, sms's aren't usually a bother. Only turn it on once I'm up in the morning.

I'm not anywhere near "old", but you may want to consider the tradeoffs you're making on your health (I.e: longevity) by being brutal to your body in the short term. I don't have kids, but I like your values... Just
