  • What I don’t understand about this thread:

    Each Gmail has its own calendar attached to it. My Phone’s calendar app supports multiple independent calendars displayed at the same time.

    Why not use your work email to make a work calendar and a personal email to make a personal calendar? You can see both but your boss only sees the work one. That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me?
















  • Based on the small town where I grew up:

    • convenience store: 2km
    • nearest chain/big supermarket: 5km
    • bus stop: what bus?
    • park: 10km (but there are hiking trails within 1km)
    • train (metro) station: 5km
    • library: 5km
    • long distance train station: 20km
    • my dad’s daily commute when I was growing up: 140km (that’s 140km each way, 5 days a week. 1200km of commuting each week. He did this with a combination of car, bike, and train. It took him about 3 hours each way.)

    Note that a lot of the roads don’t have sidewalks so even if you want to walk it can be kinda dangerous depending on time of day.

    Based on cities I’ve lived in:

    • convenience store: 300m
    • chain supermarket: 800m
    • bus stop: 500m
    • train (metro) station: 1km
    • park: 1.5km
    • library: 1.5km
    • big supermarket: 2.5km
    • long-distance train station: 2.7km
    • my current commute: 3km

    The cities tend to be a lot more walkable, but you still need to take the car or train to get to things like by the bigger (and cheaper) supermarket and other stores. The train is slow and unreliable (sometimes it’s faster to walk than take the train) so cars are much more popular.
