This seems obvious but I guess needs 'official research' to register.

A quote I remember from a coleage - 'They wouldn't give me a pay rate rise, so I gave myself one, by working less hours in a day'


It'll never register, lol.

It'll end up being a tick box moment in some Friday after 5 minute management training document that got completed while thinking about what to do over the weekend.


> It'll never register, lol.

Which is why people do it.

You get fired if you just stop showing up on Thursdays, but not if you start reading comics on your phone for the first hour of every workday.


Yeah, naw. My team ended up firing an engineer who could have been reading comics or something for the first hour or two. The guy usually showed up to meetings but didn't deliver any work for three months.

Yeah, I think nobody is gonna tell their boss "I did not like the way you treated me, so I will take a day off for feeling slightly sick". So, while it all sounds obvious, the extent of "idgaf then" is not easy to quantify.


I think zfg is a measurable quantity.


This wouldn't be so bad if the connections were standardized, but every manufacturer has their own standard, and sometimes don't even stick to it across their own products.

If this was standardized, you'd just buy a new blade/connector or jar from whoever, and in fact you'd have a wide choice of specialist jars and blades to choose from.

The concept of re:mix is great (and the name), but at €350 it's irrelevant. Make the standard open and free, maybe get EU persuade it's use, and let manufacturers build around it at realistic prices.


It did not appear to me that she attempted to run him over - just to get away.

So sad for the way your country is going, thanks to just one man and his sycophants or manipulators, and worried for the implications around the world.


exactly wtf is up with this website, firefox doesn't show t's, random f's, d's - it's a complete mess.


    firefox doesn't show
I'm using the Firefox Developer version on Windows and everything renders correctly for me. I tested Firefox on Android and everything is present there as well.


No issues here on Firefox 146 Fedora/GNOME. Also imagine it's not uncommon for a personal site to not test for Safari if they're not in the Apple ecosystem.


As a fellow Fedora/GNOME user, fun fact: GNOME Web uses the same web engine as Safari! They both use Webkit, so it's not out of reach.


My best guess is that the font I am using (WOFF2 variable font) might be tripping up the browser.


That's probably it. I am getting these problems with Safari 17.6, with a newer one, Safari 26.0.1, there is no problem.


FF working as expected for me on Ubuntu


You want to speed-run the bible?

I'd like a 'true or false' game based on those quotes, but then it might be unbalanced.


This has been planned since Trump's first term, so it's definitely not opportunism, but at the same time I think you're right that there's a personal element.

But it's overwhelmed by the geopolitics. China invests in minerals all over the world, but this is literally America's backyard, and America does not want to cede control.


This has been planned since Trump's first stint, where he declared fentanyl to be a 'weapon of mass destruction', and Maduro to be a 'narco-terrorist' (never mind that the fentanyl comes from China via Mexico).

This was a new term at the time, shifting drugs from a police issue to a military one, and obviously trying to manufacture consent for military intervention.

But Trump wasn't re-elected in 2020 so the plan stalled for 5 years. Now it's back. The military didn't 'asses threats' or whatever other garbage this piece claims, this is long pre-meditated.

But, the oil story is not quite what it seems either. Sure Trump wants to get his hands on all that oil and other resources, that's probably the only part he understands (and 'bad hombres').

But far more important for the Pentagon and people with actual brains, is to thwart China's influence in America's 'sphere of influence'. Venezuela is literally America's backyard, and the last time that was severely violated by a peer power, it almost led to armageddon (Cuba).


Its also in project 2025.


Think of it like getting AI to write your boilerplate and that annoying-to-use API, so you can focus on the architecture and the difficult bits.


Sinclair zx80 then an Acorn Atom when I was a kid. You couldn't do much with them if you couldn't program, so...


oh no, that might put upward pressure on Amazon employee salary demands!


The best people have all seemed to fled Amazon the last 24 months. LinkedIn is flooded with long tenured top tech folks leaving. I doubt that gives those left a great deal of leverage and Amazon was never known for market-leading comp.
