Nope, I read it as light novels, as in short novels.

What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy?

Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda?

Is this an undergraduate thesis?

Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias?

Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey?

These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that?

Yes, mine does this too. He fixes the arm with his teeth and then starts licking my arm. Eventually he gags, but continues anyway. I call it "lollypopping".

They lose money if they do it.

Do what?

Executives are interested in preserving their buddies and their investments in large corporate rental space.

How does forcing their own workers back into their office raise or lower the value of their own real estate? If they use it, they won't sell it, value is irrelevant then.

I doubt that executives are that clever. I've seen this conspiracy theory circulating atm, but it relies on so many assumptions that I consider it unlikely. It assumes that executives "help" each other out by willfully spending money for office space and all it costs, that could be saved in expenses by employees working from home. Corporations are obsessed with cost cutting, why would they willfully waste money? It also assumes that corporations help each other out. Considering the fierce competitiveness corporations are exposed to and how this extends to all fields, including office space, employees, office equipment, etc., this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory. Another assumption is that the push for a return to the office comes from ALL or mostly all executives. Is there actually data supporting this claim? Who is really doing this?

What I think is the real reason, is far simpler and requires less mental acrobatics to justify: The people, who are pushing for a return to the office, (a) have a stake in the performance of the company and (b) are not working themselves when they are supposed to be working from home. They then project their own behavior upon others, and therefore push for a return to the office to, in their mind, prevent their enployees from slacking off.

Thank you for your input! Others have suggested humidity too, which I had considered, but eventually discarded, because symptoms occurred both during humid and dry weather, which seemed contradictory. Thanks for sharing that you have a similar issue and point to humidity because of this "window" of acceptable humidity.

I tried inhaling Salbutamol, when pain started, but found the relief lacking.

Yes, I do have allergies against several types of pollen.

Thanks for the run times. I'll try those next time.

I am sorry, I forgot to specify that the pain comes from breathing. It's not making breathing difficult enough to make me stop running because of that, it really is more the pain from breathing that makes me stop. And I do not experience pain, when holding my breath and running.

Since I have asthma, it's the first culprit to suspect, but you are right, I should talk with a health professional about this. It just seemed so normal to me by now, that I didn't consider it a health issue and more a nuisance.

Thank you for your input and making me realize that this might not be normal despite having asthma!

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot this with me!

I do not do breathing exercises, never considered doing some tbh. I usually just immediately run with no warm-up. I remember having had less to no problems with my asthma during runs, when I was younger, thus I have an image of a normal way to run, which is modeled after my young adulthood. That is probably one of my mistakes now that I am older.

The lung pain occurs in the lower lungs and doesn't happen in other situations than running/jogging/sprinting.

Humidity might be a possibility, but I have the same problem during high summer as well as deep winter. I live in a temperate climate zone.

Your questions bring back an idea that I had some time ago, which was, that I might not use my full lung volume, when breathing normally, and that, when I am running, I might take deeper breaths accessing the lower lung volume, where the inflammation of the asthma may be more severe (?) thus causing pain? Unfortunately I do not remember if a gasping breath didn't reduce/alleviate the pain or if I just didn't find this the right way to breath, when running.

Jogging slower helps, but I think, that is more due to me breathing more normally.

Your approach makes me want to measure the on-set, frequency and context of my asthma pain during runs and come back to you in a couple months to share my insights with you! :D

By the gods... what did I just experience?! This was incredible. Thank You so much!

Why don't you just leave the companies out, where you got let go and worked at for only a short time? How does leaving them in add value, if you think that recruiters think that you are flaking? Maybe a more minimalist resume (education+last job) would do you better? Let's be honest here for a moment. Everybody stretches the truth on their resume a little bit. Why not extend the periods of your prior work experience to make them seem less spotty?

What do you usually tell recruiters, when they ask, why you left those companies? I hope you don't mention your untreated ADHD. Firstly recruiters want to know, that you add value and that you are loyal. How do you communicate these qualities?

As a suggestion, you could communicate the first by phrasing your time there as the completion of a project/product and a subsequent move on. Additionally you could be honest about the companies not being a good fit, which makes the decision to leave after a completed project seem mature and reasonable. Playing a misfit with start-up-spirit when interviewing at conventional companies and vice versa could help too.

Regarding the coding challenges. It's never about the solution, but all about the way to get there. They want to see how you think, how you approach a problem. Go from broad to detailed, from raw to refined, start simple, and talk with them, explain what you do and why you do it.

Another thing I feel that needs to be addressed are your sicknesses and disorders. Would a compensation really help? What would you need, to be compensated for your disadvantage? How much time is that compared to the base time you would be given?
