Good link thanks, let me book mark it if I ever need to waste someone's time.

On your word?

Depends on how good the offer is I suppose.

If it offsets the inconvenience and additional cost by a significant margin, or if there's other reasons why it would be good to take it (ceiling at current job, better progression prospects at new company, other quality of life perks, ...) then you shouldn't ditch it outright.

But 15 years without going to an office, it could be a jarring experience. Consider well how this will affect your daily routines: force yourself to go to a shared workspace and work from there 3x a week, then evaluate if it works for you or not.

This. Headphones and instrumental - anything with lyrics is too distracting - but classical works best for me. Give me some Tchaikovsky and I'll pump code like a good monkey.

Your sample size seems skewed, or at least it doesn't match my experience.

Mostly my younger colleagues, those in their 20's and early 30's, miss the office and actually go voluntarily about 2-3x a week. They enjoy the flexibility of choosing when to go, but they need to meet new people around their age, bond, go out for drinks, all the "normal" things we old timers used to do before COVID.

Nowadays I don't care for all that, I have my own family and social circles, but I totally understand their point. I just don't want to be dragged back to the office because of that.

While I hate the guy with a passion, I think you're underestimating Musk.

He has enough charisma and can-do mentality that, if he shuts up with his most blatant political bullshit and actually focuses on making better cars, Tesla will continue to grow massively.

Like, if he goes to work on designing a few new models that fix the flaws in current Teslas, and adds an actual pickup to the lineup while pivoting the cyber truck to a limited-edition "meme" vehicle, they'll be pumping out cars like crazy.

Edit: y'all seem to have amnesia and forget that, before his coming out as a nazi scumbag, a few years back there was no shortage of people ready to hail him as the second coming of Jesus...

They're like human resources in that regard...

Sensationalism is the kind of red flags I run away from.. Obviously the BBC have their own political slant, but I'm aware of it and can correct for that. Same when I read an article from something like Fox "News".

But if you give me some unknown site of which I don't know the background and more importantly, who's funding it, then it's useless to me and I'll just add it to the bunch of misinformation machines I run into everyday.

Of course I can, look, I just did.

Hahah, I never had a good mnemonic for cation and anion. Thanks op!

I mean, it's a different kind of lovable. Capivaras have that "I know what you did and I'm not happy with you but I'm not going to make a scene right now but just you wait until we get home mister" look. Which is endearingly sweet when you're not the direct recipient, and even if you are, you know it comes from a place of love.

Can we have links to more reputable, known news sites please? Never heard of that one. Here's the BBC.

Russia's military blamed the blast on ammunition which had detonated after the storage building caught fire due to a "violation of safety requirements".

Huh, I suppose maybe a drone-sized violation?

I suggest you guys try a flight simulator. Once up there, you have a lot of time to chat while being lulled by the faded, smooth sound of engines. Especially a late afternoon flight, where you get a beautiful sunset then a calm night... I find it a great way to unwind.

Thank you for testing that out.

My experience with AI is that it's at a point where it can comprehend something like this very easily, and won't be tricked.

I suspect that this can, however, pollute a model if it's included as training data, especially if done regularly, as OP is suggesting.

And just who are you to presume to correct anybody's point of view? Because telling me that commies and fascists like to send people to gulags is doing nothing to change anybody's mind. Let's face reality here: that doesn't hit anywhere close to home, especially when you have so much right-wing media spinning it around and justifying it.

The issues that actually hurt most people, your working class and poor people, are toxic to democrats because they need policies that will hurt their traditional pocket fillers.

They all chose, a long time ago, to serve their masters, and it's now coming to the breaking point: people can no longer afford to pay rent and basic necessities with their job.

This is when all hell breaks loose, the social contract breaks down, and you have incompetent psychopaths elected into power - because people are desperate and they want shit to change.

You can keep yelling at the top of your lungs that the alternative is awful and horrible and Hitler and gas chambers, but what you're ever more likely to hear is that "well, at least it ends the despair".

But sure, ignore everything and keep being as perplexed as most other democrats as to why people keep voting for that buffoon.

I dont get it.

OPs cartoon makes it clear that the dems are oposed to left-wing policies, so commie guy refused to vote against his interests.

The problem isnt commie guy, it's all the other brainless sheep who keep voting for the same two parties who don't represent them.

Consider this: if all the people forced to vote opted to vote someone else, then the Dems would really understand why they're failing, and more, you'd have the basis for an actual third party to from.

But instead you and other dimwits keep preaching the same old 2 party rethoric who has been fucking you over for decades.

For the past 600 years, the pope has always been a cardinal.

The last time someone other than a cardinal was elected was 1296, they elected some monk who was something of a holy figure. It was a clusterf*"#, lasted 5 months and every decision he made was reversed by it's successor except for one (the right for pope's to abdicate). Which kinda sounds like Bidens term in office, but let's not give him another chance at being useless, ok?

(There were some other non-cardinals after, but all of them clergy, and mostly during or shortly after the Avignon papacy)

Because we're human, and that's a human-made tool. It's made to fit us and our needs, not the other way around. And in case you've missed the last decade, it actually does it rather well.

With how the day is going, might need to mix it up with a red one...

Because that's the normal way in which humans communicate.

But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s... Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like "people also ask" that are related to this.

All in all, do whatever works for you, it's just that asking questions isn't bad.
