Your best bet is to go through companies that are interesting relevant and find someone who is a hiring manager or has something in common with you. Once you find them, send them a nice LinkedIn message explaining how much you love the company/product/culture and if they are interested in having a coffee chat.

Basically, you gotta get past the gate keepers (recruiters) and you'll find things open up. Most recruiters are fucking shit (especially at mega corps) and are just looking to check boxes. Go around them.

Source: I'm a tech recruiter whose moved from America (at the start of trump's first term) to multiple European countries without a plan in place.

P.s. have a look at the Netherlands, there's a lot of need for talent and quite a few companies will sponsor if you meet the income reqs.

The Helios 44 58/f2 should be on here as well, but that's one of the more obvious options.

I actually just bought a speed booster to get rid of the crop factor on my aps-c Sony a6000, really excited to try it out and get more of that swirly bokeh.

I love the neck-thru design, how does she play?

I've always wanted a Peavey, especially a Peavey foundation, but I live in Europe now and they're not common over here.

I thought it was just me! I almost never have BO, unless I'm wearing polyester. Sitting for 8 hours in a football shirt is like equivalent to me not showering for a week.

I don't understand it.

I was just on the Turkish coast and to my surprise, I found an ING atm. "Sweet, its my bank so I shouldn't have any fees!" I said to my boat driver (who only speaks Turkish).

They charged me like 3%.

Well that one is a baritone (26.5" or 27" scale) but still pretty thin (about as thick as the typical strat) and ergonomic.

My other guitar, a 1960s teisco, is one of the lightest guitars I've ever owned:

I'm gonna modify this one though and put a tuneomatic on here, the intonation is quite terrible.

They also feel...worse? Jumbo frets, thick coats of polyurethane, cheap pickguards, plastic pickup covers, etc — yuck.

I've been buying weirdo vintage guitars (teisco, musima) and they feel way better in my hands. The pickups are usually pretty low output, yeah, but the cleans sound so so good.

And that quite a lot of Ukrainians support Israel and don't see the similarities between their struggle and the Palestinian's — I don't get it.

E: and to the down voters, I am Ukrainian diaspora and lived in Kyiv until the war and visit regularly. I have these conversations frequently when I'm there.

This is called "double tap strike" and was a tactic used frequently during the American invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan. They learned from the best, unfortunately.

 

I took this photo of the statue of Yaroslav the Wise near Andriivsky Uzviz in Kyiv with a church in the background in spring 2020(2021 maybe?). I did some slight photo editing to remove power lines from the frame.

Today, the statue is covered with sandbags to protect it from Russian missiles/shaheds
