  • Ahh yes, I should maybe have posted this somewhere else now I think about it.

    For me, I find the barriers to entry are quite high but if you can get a good training vid that covers the building blocks then it's easy to learn more.

    School would be a good place for that initial learning.

  • Maybe not the strangest but here are 2 from my vacation to London last month:

    2 women walking past. One of them says:

    "I talk a lot of shit, but my fart is bigger than my shit."

    Then in Covent Garden I met a very polite drug dealer:

    Excuse me, do you need any weed or coke? No, well then have a very good evening.

    Nice guy, big smile.

  • Hitler's generals we're largely good generals. Many came from the Prussian school of war.

    The Allies didn't try to assassinate Hitler because Hitler was causing so many military blunders by thinking he knew better than his generals and overruling them.

  • British Private Schools:

    Fagging was a traditional practice in British public schools and also at many other boarding schools, whereby younger pupils were required to act as personal servants to the eldest boys.[1][2][3] Although probably originating earlier, the first accounts of fagging appeared in the late 17th century.[4]: 23  Fagging sometimes involved physical abuse[4]: 23–25  and/or sexual abuse.[5] Although lessening in severity over the centuries, the practice continued in some institutions until the end of the 20th century.[4]: 23–25

  • Ahh yes the: we can't have self signed certificates for security reasons but also can't open up the environment to the web, and we dont have our own CA server, trifecta.

    Solution: awkward, manual, certificate import process from a 3rd party vendor.

  • I do this:

    1. Tell myself I'm not going to do it. What ever it is, I'm not going to do it.
    2. Do the bare minimum thing like: open up a word document, turn on a tap to wash dishes, take something out of a box.
    3. By commencing the task I'll usually default into doing the next part like reading the document, washing a dish, sorting something out.

    Additional tips:

    • Break big things into small chunks.
    • Dont get overloaded. If your a room do it one draw at a time so you can stop when ever. Getting trapped in a "I can't sleep until this is finished" task is a trap.
    • Lists to keep track.

    P.S. I was in recruitment 13 years ago and once thought about throwing myself down the stairs to get out of work. I did that job for 2x years and used it to move to a better industry.

    You can make change in your life.

    Good luck, we're all counting on you :)

  • Why are tetrapacks so good?

    I assumed they were terrible as laminated paper can't be recycled?

    As I write this I start to think this might be one of those things I learned in high school that might be total BS.
