hello, i heard a lof about Protonvpn and i want to use it for streaming and privacy but honestly not sure if i'll get what i paid for!
from your experience, what would be:
- the streaming,
- the speed,
- and the privacy?
I keep bouncing between Janitor AI and Character AI depending on what I'm in the mood for.
Character AI still feels smoother for casual conversations, but Janitor AI gives you so much more freedom that it's hard to go back sometimes. Neither feels perfect though... each does some things much better than the other.
If you could only keep one, which would you choose, and what's the biggest reason?
The process ran six rounds, then three weeks in team matching, and finally clearing the hiring committee for an L5 Product Manager offer. The loop itself was one recruiter screen, two product design rounds, two execution and analytical rounds, and one Googlyness round.
A couple of questions I still remember. For product design, they asked me to design a localized, high-scale delivery product for a dense urban market like Tokyo. They really pushed on the localization and density angle, so don't just reskin a generic delivery product. The constraints are the whole point. The analytical round centered on YouTube launching a new creator monetization tool and measuring the metric trade-offs between immediate ad revenue and long-term creator retention. That one was less about picking the right metric and more about how you reason through competing priorities.
On prep, I used Product Alliance to study their Google roadmap breakdowns and mocked against their question bank. I also ran mocks with ChatGPT and Claude to drill frameworks and get fast feedback on structure. Then I did a few live peer mock sessions, and my final mock was with my brother, who used to be a senior PM. The AI mocks were great for volume and structure cause it's what I could afford at that moment, but I'd advice anyone to mock with humans if they can afford it.
So that's pretty much it.
I keep seeing people jump straight to R-value when the bigger question is usually sequence. In an attic retrofit, the order matters: air sealing first, then ventilation details, then insulation depth and coverage.
Attic Masters comes up in conversations like this because attic insulation removal and replacement is only one part of the job; the leak paths, baffles, and access points can matter just as much. Curious how others here prioritize the work when the attic is old, messy, and full of mixed materials.
This is probably gonna get some people fired up, but I'm asking anyway. Im married, been with my wife for almost 15 years. Things at home have been pretty much roommates for a long time now. We've tried talking, counseling, date nights, all the stuff people recommend. I'm not looking to get divorced right now for a bunch of reasons I won't get into. before anyone jumps down my throat I'm not here looking for moral advice or to be told I'm a terrible person. I've heard it all already. I'm just looking for people who've actually used these sites and can tell me which ones are worth bothering with. I've heard names like Ashley madison, Victoria Milan, and a few others, but I have no clue which ones are legit these days. privacy is probably my biggest concern. I don't want my face plastered all over the internet or my inbox flooded with scammers. I'm also not looking for cam girls but may be open to the idea of escorts if there's no other option.. I'd rather find someone who's in a similar situation and understands the need for discretion.
if you've actually used one of these sites recently, whats your experience been like? Which ones are worth checking out and which ones should be avoided? again, not looking for judgment. Just real experiences from people who've been there.
