Just buy blocks of basic hard soap. Better for your skin and your plumbing. I don’t know if it’s cheaper compared to your 10L bottle, but it’s definitely cheaper compared to normal liquid soap bottles.

I would say that willingness to exploit other, be selfish and have low ethic also play a big role.

I think it’s more related to the fact that it’s when there is no distractions at all. At least for me that’s probably the reason. No colleagues asking dumb questions, no pointless meeting, nearly no notification whatsoever.

Probably not, this is Quebec. I’m in a french lab and everything is written in English. You don’t really have choice as you are collaborating internationally. Even if the lab is based/funded in France, not all of the people inside will be french. They plan to have scientific advisors that are not french according to the link.

I may be wrong but from what I’ve heard from some “small” content creator on YouTube the money from the sponsored talks in their video is a much bigger part of their income than money from youtube coming from the YouTube-selected ads that play before/during the video.

Watching tv shows or Youtube too. But I’m limiting myself to one full episode. Or if YouTube, I select a video in the 20~30 minutes range so it will last for the whole meal + small break after. And then I stop.
