Sounds like the best decision if you enjoy it and found love. I only ever hear great things about Montreal, my wife and I plan to visit from the US in a couple months on vacation, we're really excited!
Slow and steady wins the race, and the majority of startups fail.
I agree that a balance needs to be struck and something needs to be done, but I'd favor a healthy cadence for my team than have them burn out and quit, leaving me holding the bag.
What I've found in my experience is I started putting up boundaries instead of being a "yes" man and those I've worked with have responded pretty positively to it. Most of the time they're just trying to figure out their own emergencies so as long as they have something to tell their boss it's cool – "We won't be able to meet with xyz until Thursday since they have limited resources" "Okay, update us on what happens Thursday then".
I'm (re)learning French this year and I'll check out this app, looks cool.
It seems many newer language apps are starting to focus on the "comprehensible input" method touted by language learning influencers like Steve Kauffmann, and at least for me it's definitely working. Comprehensible input (video content, books) along with weekly practice on iTalki has absolutely skyrocketed my language learning progress and really I only put in ~5hrs a week. Lots of money in the post-covid market for language learning as it was a hobby a lot of people picked up in quarantine.
Anyone else notice Netlfix also being laggy and shows crashing consistently in these past few months? I've pretty much stopped watching it in favor of HBO's streaming platform.
We did consider that, but we plan on taking enough enough weekend trips and trips to parents in rural areas that it may be too frequent to rent for each longer trip.
Great point. Do you know how much the size compares to a Kia Soul? We love our Soul for it's utility and size in an urban setting but for obvious theft-related reasons we don't want to own it for too long. :)
Headroom (Front/Rear): 39.4 in.
Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 55.5 / 54.7 in.
Hip Room(Front/Rear): 53.5 / 52.8 in.
Legroom (Front/Rear): 41.1 / 38.8 in.
Cargo Volume (Seats Upright): 24.2 cubic feet
Cargo Volume (Seats Folded): 62 cubic feet
'23 Prius Prime:
Front head room: 38.0 in.
Front shoulder room: 55.3 in.
Front hip room: 54.7 in.
Front leg room: 42.4 in.
Cargo Volume (Seats Upright): 20.3 cubic feet
Cargo Volume (Seats Folded): 26.7 cubic feet
I'm having a hard time believing the Kia Soul has so much more cargo space with the seats folded.
Thank you for that, that's a very detailed comparison! I use my Kia Soul like a truck sometimes, I've hauled around a push lawn mower plus tools as well as large music equipment, just laid canvas down in the back. Very useful. It makes sense that a hatchback vs. a cube car shape you would lose that vertical space.
I think this is a very balanced take. Your point on checking to see if the gas engine will charge the EV battery is really important to keep in mind and I'll make sure I do that.
