The ghost of a scholarly dragon. No flame because dead but still being inscrutable with people

I respect Nilay's ability to be firm and ask questions he knows are going to upset his interviewees without actually becoming confrontational.

BROTHER I CAN'T HEAR YOU, YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR OUTSIDE VOICE. I HAVE HEARING DAMAGE FROM THE MOTORCYCLE AND ALL THE SLAYER CONCERTS.

That's not free. Subscribe to my Bonely Fans and you can see it all

The configuration must grow.

I can only hit myself in the face real hard three, four times before I get woozy and forget where I am. It's a cycle of violence

This sounds great!!

That is awful. Sorry

Is it normal to want some way to pressurize extremities e.g. forearms/hands and lower legs/feet?

If you CAN, please see a medical professional immediately

I have realized that I have no frame of reference for what's normal for a penguin. I always just assumed vaguely knee height and now I am seeing these 2m adult penguin graphics (extinct, but...)

I am extremely anxious by default unless I am able to fully control my environment (remove stressors) and converting anxiety to anger is the only way to turn that energy into action, unless an intermediary is present that understands my context. Anger isn't a pure negative, and it can be useful at times.

On the other hand, it's hard to steer it and let go of it once you get locked in. Additionally, many stressors can't be fixed by direct action and that will just stress out everyone else who has to be around you without reducing the original problems.

This doesn't seem ALL that hot...

I hate to admit it, and I have not dug around in my own head to understand why, but this guy saying SCHLONGED just takes me out every time it comes up. It's not funny but it kills me.

Institutional inertia is real. Obviously every situation is different but in most cases they are not blocking remote access, they're just tracking if you badged in that day. If you are still doing work, it's going to take them awhile to respond - they are hoping you quit rather than having to fire you.

Both things should be done simultaneously!

Usually it's phased and they don't cut off remote access entirely. They still want you to be able to work on the weekend at home...

Let them enforce it. Don't quit, that's what they are trying to accomplish anyway.

That is absolutely for the best
