From a political 'game theory' perspective on two strategies:

1) Saying 99.9% of young people survive covid. We have to learn to live with it; make the best of life.
2) Saying if you have an empty seat at the table, its your government's fault. 1 lost life is too many.

Lets say 16% of voters are 'elders' with high death rates; 30% have relatives then 46% may feel that 1 death is too many. That life is them or their relative. The other 54% care, but also want to live full lives. Strategy 1 wins

How do you make time for exercise with a full time job, studying etc? I feel like whenever I get into a regular workout routine it becomes a huge time commitment and it distracts me from doing other important things.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on chemical and fragrance free soaps and shampoos for pregnancy?

Hi Fishes,
I am having 4.6 + years of experience as a Manual test engineer and already frustrated with it.
In these years, I haven't learn any technical skills.
Though , I am very good at handling clients, planning and at other required stuffs.
But all these are soft skills which doesn't directly contributed to my resume.

I need your suggestion that which technical skills I can learn online? Has anyone changed their career from testing to BI ( Power BI / Tableau ) ?

I want to give unconstructive, contradictory feedback. I want to torpedo this deadline and then the next one. I want to act with impunity without the fear of losing my job amidst a global recession/pandemic. I want my marketing underlings to agree with me no matter how absurd the words are that I am speaking. I want creative directors to nod vigorously at my suggestions, no matter how inane they may be. I want to dream things and have you interpret and make them real. I want to be the client.

I took BEC and am waiting for my score to see if I passed or not - if not should I sit for it again or start studying for FAR? I paid for FAR already so I need to take it by August. Not sure what the best strategy would be.
