Nazi symbols and child pornography found in German police chats

"The allegations shocked me. In criminal law, the presumption of innocence also applies here. Nevertheless, the allegations are so serious that after examining each individual case, I immediately banned the three officers from conducting official business," Friederike Zurhausen, the police chief of Recklinghausen, said in a statement.

This police chief did more than most do.

The back-to-office backfire: Companies ending WFH perks lose out on top talent, who view flexible work as equivalent to an 8% raise

Jump

Offices already have plumbing on every floor for bathrooms.

And the idea to change over offices to residential is gaining traction ... so go talk to them about how it can't be done.

You seem to think that everyone would want what you want.

If it's not to your taste, don't live there. But there are thousands of unhoused people who may very well enjoy that vs living in a shelter or on the street.

Yet other engineers have said it can be done by refitting the window-facing offices as sets of single/double units with the interior of the floor as communal kitchen/gathering spaces, and separate floors for larger family units and spaces.

The upside to these empty buidings is they can - and should be - transitioned to housing. It's just the rich companies who own the buildings don't want to have to invest any money in that.

Met with a psychiatrist for ADHD diagnosis

Jump

A few years back when I first started thinking I had AuDHD I spent a small fortune on a psychologist, only to be blown off ... because she was more focused on the chance I might have early-onset dementia (because my working memory is awful). Seems my decades of masking worked too well and she made up her mind without looking further.

Finally about 6 months ago I was diagnosed. ADHD meds would help for a few days, then side effects would negate the help. I finally just stopped taking them.
