Their stand mixers are still decent but have dropped in quality. Their hand mixers and everything else is complete crap.

It would seem to me the difference is picked up from the exposure to a different culture while learning the language and how it differs from your native one. Not really much to do with thinking in that actual language.

Reply to comment by doiwantacookie in The benefits of doing nothing | An overactive 'life drive' endlessly seeks expansion, inevitably leads to burnout, and drains us of the energy needed to truly progress. Finding the time to do nothing is essential to reassessing who we are and who we want to be. by IAI_Admin

Be prepared for the people thinking you are lazy or unmotivated or insert whatever consumer driven drivel here. It was crazy when I took a step back from IT burnout how all of a sudden I was viewed much differently in the eyes of some.

I hope you enjoy your new found freedom.

Reply to Some iPhone 14 users say the crash detection feature has triggered false alarms and called 911 during rollercoaster rides or after a phone drop while driving by speckz

Add geo-fenching around amusement parks to void all those by default, then you just have to deal with the traveling type fairs. You could probably even get a database with their setup addresses and geofence those off as well. It would take a bit of backend work, but would handle 99% of the false positives without user intervention.
