Atomic Habits.

As someone who is likely on the spectrum, it was like someone gifted me a user guide for life where other self-help books have either leaned a lot on the emotions of things or tried to cram all sorts of philosophy down my throat.

Lot’s of common sense ideas around how to turn what, where, and who you want to be into actually achievable goals and genuinely helped me figure out who I want to be for myself and not for other people.

I wouldn’t say it has any groundbreaking or radical ideas in it, but the structure and presentation of the simple ideas really helped me work out some life things for myself.

Or philosophers and philosophy.

Damn philosophers, they ruined philosophy!

As an engineer I would like to second this motion to get “Mach Yeet” adopted as an IEC standard technical term.

Dog Soldiers.

It is known as the British Predator. You can see the low budget on the screen, but my god it’s excellent. Do not watch the trailer, it’s shit and will give you a bad impression of the film.

With a username like that I can only assume a level of expertise I cannot reach as I am follicle-ly challenged. I shall take your advice on board 😊

When I started getting nose hairs. Now I pluck those suckers and they bring anything else out with them.

I should also point out that when I get my hair cut, the barber also does a wax removal.

You don’t need to be religious to perform evil acts the same way you don’t need to be religious to perform moral acts.

At best the Israeli government is completely incapable of distinguishing between enemy combatants and civilians/children and at worst is intentionally committing genocide.

Given all the evidence we’ve seen so far, it’s certainly the latter.

Either scenario should be enough for the UN to step in with a heavily armed and permanent peacekeeping force to hold a long lasting ceasefire and start of a many decades long process of peace negotiations, rebuilding, reparations, and war crime court hearings.

Well she is from Doncaster so that explains a lot of her delusional thinking.

I use multiple browsers for different things:

Vivaldi - for work or personal projects because the workspaces and tab stacking allows me to keep an “L1 cache” of all the sites relevant to parts of projects I’m working on. Then when I’m done with that work the useful ones get bookmarked for future use.

Firefox - personal browsing i.e. watching stuff, shopping, etc. because I wanted off chrome so I could continue to use adblockers.

Brave - research purposes.

Opera - for the occasional use of a VPN for getting around geoblocking.

We all are Ralph, we all are… (Slaps knees) Aaanyway, just got to get on with life (stands up and walks off stage left)

I think this is more a comment on the particular strain of misogyny that pervades Japanese society and not being surprised that a country which has women only metro carriages out of necessity to prevent sexual harassment is also having a problem with AI generated deep fakes. Though the latter is also a problem in many other countries which have access to these image models.

UK, 25 days as standard (not including paid bank holidays) plus my employer has the option to buy/sell up to 5 days so I usually buy 5 extra. Also, if you have left over holiday days, you can carry over 5 to the next financial year.

Additionally, the standard legal of 9 months maternity leave.

Also, unlimited paid sick days providing you don’t take the piss; longer than 3 days you should ask for a note from the GP. Longer than 2 weeks you should arrange a meeting to discuss the situation and what (if any) adjustments can be made.

I will also point out that mental conditions must be treated the same as physical conditions so if you need to take a mental health day then you can.

Also my job is very flexible about working arrangements.

The standard is hybrid working, 2 out of 5 days in the office. But depending on what your job is you could be fully WFH or full-time in the office.

If you feel you can only work part-time and your manager agrees then you can.

And the contracted hours are 37.5 per week and flexible start so you must be available between the core hours of 10am to 12pm and from 2pm to 4pm, and as it’s the UK Fridays you can finish at 12. Providing you’ve logged enough hours for the week, if you want to finish early you can or take a longer lunch break to run an errand.

Oh and the cherry on top is the company tries to match annual pay rises with inflation and give a very good reason if they can’t fully match it. That’s not very common in the UK and one of the main reasons, aside from the fact that it’s a nice place to work, why I’ve stayed with them because I don’t feel pressured to move jobs to stop my pay getting eroded by inflation.

I think Edward the 7th had one of these when the Throne started splintering under his enormous reign.
