Most of my managers have been the second type, although how effective they are at it has varied a lot. Some are very passive and that has been good and bad, being left alone is great when things are going well. But when you need help they are useless.

The best have been the ones that know a decent amount about the job, they can either help you directly or know exactly where to point you for it. That or they understand the pain and you can both cry together for 4 days with a SQL database and increasingly vague error messages.

Quit my last job over being asked in once a week. It was the commute rather than the office that I really wanted to avoid but it was also an awful open plan hotdesk office for a company of hundreds of people I didn’t know or care about.

New role is office based but I don’t need to drive or take public transport and teams have their own rooms to work in. Much smaller company too, under 30 people. Banter is far better here and that helps quite a bit.

So there is no incentive to get a part time job? Lol, what a dumb system.

£700/month without a mortgage to pay would be great. Its comparable to what I was earning from an apprenticeship when I first moved out once adjusted for inflation…

How’s the state pension over there? Here in the UK its pretty good, if you have paid off your house anyway. I would be richer than I am now from working if I had a pension but no mortgage.

If you also had to pay housing then it could be kinda rough, but I have lived alright on less.

I know I struggled after leaving school for a few years, but even then I still managed to get the occasional part time or irregular hours of work between periods of unemployment. That was living in a small town too. Then I got an apprenticeship and been fully employed ever since.

Everyone is under suspicion. Criticism of Israeli genocides detected! Apply terrorism charges. Right to a jury ignored or circumvented.

How doesn’t this also encourage the same dishonesty? Claim to not have a phone, or have a spare.

Yeah, schools are going to have loads of supplies delivered in boxes that could be reused.

Banning sexual assault, bulling, rape and pedophilia doesn’t work either. Source: my secondary school.

FF3 can be bought for under £200 second hand and that doesn’t suck. FF4 if you are lucky may fit into that price range too.

If you are looking for budget phones, get a FF3/4 second hand. That is what I did and its great.

Biggest problem with mine is it keeps smacking into walls and doors in my pockets when I walk around the house. It’s so big, often falls out my pockets too.

Probably more of a problem with my pockets tbh, but its all my shorts.

If you clear cookies all the time, every read is your first read

So… Normal behaviour?

I occasionally throw it in like that to keep things fun at work.

If they don’t deliver the server I think we should send hired goons over.

Don’t worry, just send that to the goons in implementation.

I thought the tech could maybe have a use case but PNGs was utterly useless.

But there is nothing to update. They already did it all

I have seen some funky trips in comaps as well tbh. But I suspect any map tool is going to get that. At least it gets my commute to work right, which google doesn’t.

For a long time google existed without an option to create an account
