I’m with you on this. I prefer important conversations that require me to make a decision or remember something in writing. Just general conversation about what you got up to on weekend? Fine let’s talk it out.
I understand so many more people prefer verbal communication because it’s easier for them to not have to type or put their thoughts into written words. I just wish more of them understood that it’s not the same for everyone and come to a compromise.
Really depends on the work you do and your personality. For me being in the office makes it difficult to concentrate due to conversations going on around me. It’s great for information gathering, but as soon as I need to do some deep thinking, it becomes a lot more challenging. Plus it’s a lot less comfortable and I have to deal with the commute, taking up some of my energy before I even get into the office
Ah, I’m a claw. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a fingertipper.
I remember once upon a time holding a friend’s razer mouse and it just felt wrong to me. I later found out about different grip types and that was essential in picking the right mouse.
I always look fondly back on when my brother would wake me up on a Saturday morning “quick, x-men is starting!”
I’m so envious that you have it as a job and a hobby. When I started coding I’d hoped I’d be one of those people that just whips up stuff in their free time for fun, but after finishing work I just find myself not wanting to code 😔
I think the rule of thumb is to at a minimum double whatever the recipe asks for
I have a piece of shit Samsung TV that needs replacing. When an app crashes I found holding down the standby button for like 20 seconds and then turn it back on seems to kill the apps on the TV so I can reload them.
No idea if it’s a legit fix; but if not the placebo effect makes me feel better. Maybe other TVs could work the same way?

My parents, and my partner’s parents and aunts and uncles all watch GB News. They seem to think that it’s “the immigrants” that are causing all their woes even though most of them are now retired or close to retiring.
Gen X, Millennials, and Zoomers aren’t the target demographic for GB News I suspect. I do hope it isn’t going to sway the country to voting in Reform in the future.
I’m in the UK and it is on Netflix. I believe it’s a syfy show. I think there are 4 seasons now but only S1&2 are available on Netflix here.

I’ve really been enjoying Resident Alien. It kept being advertised to me and I finally caved. Alan Tudyk plays an alien trying to be human so well.
How do we even move towards this level of change? It’s obvious that we will not get the opportunity to vote in a party that does this. I feel like the course we are on won’t change dramatically without some kind of revolution, and I would think anything like that would quickly get shut down before it ever begins.
It is legal, but under specific conditions. Better than it could be, not as good as it should be.
Probably. Likely to cater to the older generation of technophobes.
I wish people would all collectively agree that employers should have to pay for commute time to their offices. I would like to think this would quickly bolster WFH.

Back when I was managing a team, we had a new guy that I was on-boarding. I’d run the. Through all standard procedures and then get them to shadow others in the team, then swap so they are being shadowed and guided.
One day I told him to pair with someone in the team for an afternoon. At the end of the day I took him into the training room and asked him how things had gone. He had a big smirk on his face and said “I know why you had me shadow R”, and with a returning smile I said “and why was that?”, “because you wanted me to see how not to do the job.”
The new guy had hit the nail on the head, the person he was shadowing was a huge under performer and was due to go on a performance improvement plan after repeated attempts to give guidance. Anyway I didn’t confirm that is why I did it, but I’m glad that the new guy had come away thinking that, it showed that the training up to that point had been working.
