The name sounds crazy if you speak Spanish

You are not alone! I have been dealing with burnout since the pandemic began. For me it was the inability to focus on the simplest tasks that made me realize I could no longer ignore the problem. Therapy has helped a lot.

For a second I thought the Error page was intentional
Re:Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair? on Friday June 18, 2021 @04:56PM (#27554956)
I second this. I was sold on the Embody and went to try it and I thought it wasn't for me almost as soon as I sat on it. I ended up getting a Cosm which surprise me personally, because I sort of liked all the knobs in all the other chairs, but I really liked how it adjusted to my body. Try all the chairs with an open mind and listen to your body

I had the same thought, the service is quite different but the name is too similar

Same! I tried gitea for a while but I found out what I really needed was a git remote I could access over ssh. It is way easier to manage
Thanks for sharing such an inspiring story! Best of luck to you!!
Maybe try fewer animations

In México the word "Madrota" does carry that "madame of a brothel" connotation

I use gentoo these days, but I used slackware as one of my first distros and I learned tons. Congrats on such a great distro!

I second that, Ayahuasca is great, it gets out a lot of emotional baggage you didn't even know you had there. totally recommended!
Re:Man who stole $1M bucket of gold details escape from US on Wednesday February 07, 2018 @09:38PM (#16329767)
If you arrive to México in a plane you can expect random searches. I get my luggage opened around 1 in 10 times. They also use x-ray for screening luggage on arrival. If you are driving or walking sometimes you just say hello and that's about it. But I also have gotten my car searched, specially if crossing by myself. It is a bit more relaxed on Christmas time, when a lot of people cross the border.
Moving to a country where they speak the language you are trying to learn kinda helps. I've lived in the US for 15 years. At first I wouldn't even be able to even tell words apart, so listening to a lot of people and trying to make the sounds they were making was my first challenge. Then I knew like 200 words so my conversations were a bit limited so memorizing words was the next goal. And then I would get into more interesting conversations and people would use rare words which everybody seem to know what they meant. And for that you can only read a lot ^_^ Then you can get fancy and try to reduce your foreign accent for extra points. But being exposed to the language is a must, hence living in a country where it is spoken helps. My french is kinda awful (I've never lived in france) but I can order food at restaurants which is nice.
