Ik zit in een maisonette appartement dat op het moment wordt "verduurzaamd". Het enige wat ik er van merk is maandenlang overlast. Ik ben de onnodige werkzaamheden, het constante geklooi en alle niet nagekomen afspraken spuugzat.

Het woongenot is er simpelweg vanaf.

Met de "extra waarde" die deze werkzaamheden claimen op te leveren dacht ik dat het mogelijk moet zijn om een nieuwe woning te vinden, maar als ik het restant op mijn huidige hypotheek en een veiligheidsmarge voor kosten koper e.d. meeneem, zie ik eigenlijk alleen woningen binnen dat budget ten zuiden van Zeeland, in Groningen of Limburg en veel van die woningen zijn ook nog eens opknappers.

Ik ben eveneens bang dat als ik een huis koop met energielabel B of lager, dat ik op termijn nogmaals met verduurzaming wordt geconfronteerd, en om eerlijk te zijn, de aardgasvrij plannen van de regering zorgen al voor extra kosten die ik liever niet had (gasfornuis en boiler vervangen). Er zijn betere zaken om dat geld aan uit te geven.

Heeft iemand nog advies over hoe ik een betaalbare woning in de regio Breda/Dordrecht kan vinden waar ik gewoon kan wonen zonder overlast en stress? Is dit überhaupt mogelijk of kan ik beter emigreren naar een land buiten de EU?

I just received a message that LinkedIn is rolling out 2FA to my account. Funny, I thought it was already available. But the message said "We're rolling out SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) to LinkedIn accounts in phases, and yours is coming up."

Of all the possible options, they're offering SMS?! The one method that has a clear easy to achieve way to circumvent.

Really LinkedIn?

The latest Cookwell update email said a new feature was added: "Try the interactive Plan Your Week mode: on a new week, we’ll walk you through adding a few meals to your planner."

Stupid question: which day does the app consider to be the start of the week?

I'd love to be able to change that.

(I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but this something I notice a lot more recently. Here is my take on it.)

I see a lot of comments here and on other CV and resume subreddits that say things like:

“Remove the summary.”

“Keep it to one page.”

“Don’t use columns.”

“Add more numbers.”

That advice might be right, but without any explanation, the OP doesn’t really learn much from it. They’re just being told what to change.

Even a short explanation makes a big difference. For example:

“Remove the summary because it doesn't say anything specific the reader may find useful.”

"You don't have enough experience to need more than one page. You're just being too wordy."

“Avoid columns because some applicant tracking systems may read them incorrectly.”

“Add numbers so the reader can get a better sense of the scale or impact of your work.”

The reason matters because CV advice is rarely universal. Something that makes sense for a recent graduate might not make sense for someone with 15 years of experience. Advice can also vary by country, industry, role, and the type of company someone is applying to.

It also helps when the OP gets conflicting advice, which happens all the time. If one person says to remove something and another says to keep it, the explanations give the OP something useful to compare. Without them, it is just two strangers stating opposite opinions.

Explaining the reason also shows how important the change actually is. “I personally prefer this layout” is very different from “This makes your resume too hard to skim” or “This may cause the reader to misinterpret your experience as being in the wrong order.” That helps the OP decide what to fix first.

It also makes the advice easier to apply elsewhere. Someone who understands that bullet points should show results, not just duties, can improve the rest of their CV and future applications. Someone who is only told to rewrite their bullet points may not know what changes to make to make them work.

Reasons also make it easier to spot advice that is outdated, based on personal taste, or not relevant to the OP’s situation. They give other commenters something specific to discuss rather than turning the thread into a collection of unexplained "rules".

Nobody needs to write a long explanation. One sentence is usually enough.

Instead of only saying what should be changed, it would be more helpful to also say how the change is supposed to make the CV or resume better.

Is this something you take into account or not? What is your view on this?

I have opened multiple card packs that gave me a nice chip bonus and an sundae card guard. However, when I try to switch out my current guard and use the new one, I can't find it in either the store or the ones I own already. Is this a bug or are they supposed to become available when the current leaderboard resets?
