I can't speak for the Dev but I am guessing they have other things on the go. Releasing this app as quickly as they did and following up with subsequent releases for bugs and quality of life features probably meant neglecting anything else that wasn't of major importance.

They are probably getting back on track with that stuff?

Paper. You can use paper and take a picture with your phone.

I was kind of joking, kind of not, but thank you for this info.

Immediately make a joke about quacking up.

"Mice don't reproduce many aspects of human disease for their physiology being too different from ours," senior study author Zhen Liu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told CNN.

But we test all our new stuff on them and write articles about Cancer cures without adding "in mice" to the title, and that gives people hope.

Edit: I understand the importance of this research but the gleeful tone feels like it was cynically added by the author (or, I don't know, an llm told to "humorify by 12%") to differentiate from the original source and just feels gross.

I feel like in the band of life, I'm playing the tambourine, to paraphrase Chris Rock.

It's still good to be in a band but I also work as a roadie, caterer, custodian, etc.

The closest media clip to express my emotion is Homer Simpson yelling "I want to live, Marge! Live!"

No right to complain with three squares, a roof over my head, and a healthy, loving family. I'd just like to have a day where I sleep in, get to go out for breakfast (McDonald's is fine), and then read or play video games when I'm not out for a walk with the dog.

I've managed tons of people any only used a formal pip with three, that I recall. Two were people transferred from other teams to see if I could retain them because they were about to be let go. Another was someone I hired who was obviously going through some type of mid-life crisis about six months in... One if the first group took direction and turned into an ok employee with lots of coaching. The other two had to be let go.

The first guy just never worked, he was collecting a cheque until he got fired. He was hard to deal with because every time I addressed his lack of any work product he would act like we'd never discussed this before. Just a really weird guy. I think he'd dragged out other jobs like that and figured I was too nice to let him go?

The second guy was similar. He slipped up a few times and it became obvious he was working two jobs at the same time. He admitted it and said he was good enough to do all his work in half the time a normal person would. Great but his work product was complete crap and delivered late and incomplete every time.

I have no idea how many people I've managed or supervised in some capacity or other over the years. The vast, vast majority are doing what they can and if they get off track they just need a hand getting back on track (there's often something going on outside work that distracts them, this is usually temporary and a little understanding and accommodation goes a long way - we're all just trying to get through the day, sometimes that easier than others).

Down voters don't get how amazing it is that a fish can talk, let alone heckle.

I have a core group of friends that I grew up with and we all loved role playing games. After using every gaming system you could (late 80s) we just knew how it worked. We'd play any scenario or setting with our common understanding a couple d10 and some notes for inventory and special abilities (or disabilities). So much fun. :)

A good manager does this when needed to show the person exactly what the expectations are so there's no ambiguity. As long as these expectations are reasonable and consistent, this should lead to the person meeting them not just through their own efforts but also through the organization specifically supporting this effort.

Termination of employment can follow but if that was the goal of management, the organization is broken (many are).

Crossroads at midnight when the moon is full.

Don't shop there. It's the only thing they care about. And tell people you know or can influence via social media or other means.

I was raised in a place that gets a lot of rain back before kids got driven everywhere. If you wanted to go anywhere, do anythng like camping or whatever, you had to be ok with rain.

One of my favorite things was getting home soaked and cold, getting changed into dry clothes, and having a nice cup of tea from the pot that was always waiting under a cosy. Such a wonderful feeling.

I destroy anything that isn't metal out if clumsiness but I love this general design (the Norwegian teapot). Congrats on yours, really enjoyed the history of it.

Jared Kushner would have this handled by now. /s

Also, what nerd, after being stuffed in a locker by the middle school football captain, hasn't wondered why he's the one with the entourage.

People are shallow and act like idiots. It's a sad reality. Sometimes there's enough of those people to act as a successful voting bloc.

The switch to something like a Microsoft natural fixed me very quickly! That's all I use to this day but a day doesn't go by without me thinking fondly of my heavy, noisy, IBM PS/2 keyboards. :)

Underscores they are not just indifferent to stochastic violence, they see it as an outcome that would be a direct result of their speech and still don't stop.

You are going to need a credenza. A desk shaped credenza.

I would be like you but my wrists scream on anything that isn't split! Thank you for living the dream!
