  • What happened? I also worked with the JIRA API (on-prem tho), and didn’t run into bigger troubles.

    The only thing I really dislike is the “discovery” process. I don’t have much to compare it to, but going through /createmeta/ and what keys are allowed/work or not and how to get to the correct service, and what data is shown or not. Maybe I did it wrong.


  • It’s also bullshit. My parents (both 50+) are both learning English right now. Of course they’ll never be close to native speakers. But they are absolutely able to communicate to get around, well beyond the basics too.

    It doesn’t get easier. But it also doesn’t get impossible. Motivation is a big step towards it.


  • But I’m curious, why are Europeans so horrified by the idea of heating water in the microwave?

    Not op. But I’m really curious about the whole “microwave water” thing.

    For me it’s just a completely foreign idea. Maybe because electric kettles are so ubiquitous over here. Like everyone has one, including office kitchens and hotel rooms.

    I’m also curious over the practicality. Doesn’t it spill over? What kind of container do you use to hold the water? For example if you want one cup of tea, do you just put a cup of water into the microwave? Depending on the container, do you watch it the whole time?

    I understand why one may use the microwave to heat water, I also understand it works, but the idea of actually doing it is… mystifying.
