They also seem to think that continually spending money to do mundane things in a virtual world is not a problem for regular people who actually have to watch their spending.

Nornally first the capacitor and then the motor. The capacitor is there to absorb the power surge when the motor starts up.

So it'll end up being a platform of trolls and bigots just screaming into the void and paying for the privilege. What a fabulous idea.

Left because I was doing three jobs as one person. They couldn't hire a replacement with that job description (surprised Pikachu face). My new job wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, so I got hired back in a properly defined job and that's been working out fine.

Mark Felton did a 6 episode series on YT on how the alleged burnt bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun found by the soviets, are actually plants.

Not that Hitler survived the war or anything, they were just buried elsewhere nearby, probably in a civilian mass grave, to prevent the soviets from parading the real bodies around.

There are devices that will cool a drink (can of soda or a beer) to 'ice cold' ( I assume something like 5°) in 60 seconds. I guess this sort of answers your question? The full answer is probably not that it is technically impossible, but that the practical use is largely limited to drinks.

You can't sue scissors. They have deep knowledge of the law.

Because I like small diagrams and schematics. Doing that in an app, especially on a phone, is tricky. And I find that structuring my thoughts on paper just works better than doing it digitally straight away.

'People' in this respect are also the owners of media sites.

De-escalate emotional tension. Don't get personal. Don't make sweeping statements or promises in the heat of the moment.

Can't have manslaughter without laughter.

A couple of things:

  • commute time counts as work time
  • no open plan landscape office
  • no 'clean desk' policy but the ability to personalise your workplace
  • dishwasher and general kitchen stuff not being a 'shared responsibility' but someone's job.
  • office being in a nice neighborhood with fun things to do after work or during lunch

My employer spent the past ~10 years de-personalising our offices, and now they wonder why people don't like to hang out in their sterile 'clean' building.
