By working late it’s not just the kids that are getting harmed but any co-workers.

Had a colleague that used to work late and through his lunch, eventually the manager approached him and told him to stop. The guy said if he didn’t do it the work would pile up. The manager told him that by working overtime he was making it look like the current team headcount was sufficient and that he couldn’t get evidence there weren’t enough people to meet demand. Guy stopped doing unpaid overtime and after a couple of months there was a new member of the team to ease the workload.

it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there

I agree with this point so much. I’m probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.

I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.

I thought the overall story has an interesting concept, with some cheesy writing in some bits, and some comedy littered in so they aren’t taking themselves too seriously. Something that bothered me was the use of a current day wheelchair…

This is set 1000+ years in the future where they can solve people being blind but you’re telling me they can’t even have an professor-X style floating chair at a minimum?!

I don’t believe there is a requirement for employers in the UK to pay for lunch breaks?

I just want a pillow that doesn’t put pressure on my ear, but also isn’t stupidly soft to the point it doesn’t support my neck. The Simba hybrid pillow was good for the first few months, but now just scrunches up against the headboard when I’m sleeping and I wake up with my neck at what feels like a 45° angle…

I’m not advocating for American chlorinated chicken, but I’m not sure our chicken is to a much higher standard. Over the last few years I’ve noticed a decline in the quality of our chicken from white striping to woody breast. I guess this is caused by them using breeds that grow quickly.

What would be the singular of twix?

I use a pressure cooking when doing hard boiled eggs, I’ve found regardless of the egg age they are always easier to peel.

There’s a little HD button in the top right on Boost that I’m guessing shows the original image.

Good question!

“Programming and coding are closely related but not the same. Programming is the process that covers problem-solving, designing, building, and maintaining software, while coding is the step of writing the actual instructions in a programming language. Both are important and work together to create complete software solutions.” - Geeksforgeeks

I’ve never used it, but people I work with teach Scratch to in their spare time. I quick search suggests it is years 8+. I guess it’s more programming than coding, but could be a starting point and lead into coding under 10?

They made a new game, Aethermancer which is pretty good so far!

No idea why this post reminded me of him dancing in this music video

Not just the notes, but I feel like they put more effort into making sure the text doesn’t blend with what is on screen. Instances on Netflix of some shows where there will be white text with a white background, and the text has no drop shadow or black border.

Nigel?

Monster train 2 is even better!

This is why it’s so important to keep hold of hybrid / WFH. I can do laundry in-between all the meetings, which means I only have everything else to do on the weekend!

Reminds me of this pog from the 90s

I liked the little suggestion by Pelia at the start of the episode that she spent time with a time travelling doctor. The rest of the episode the writing felt a bit too rushed.

I’m happy that Pike got the chance to live a happy life, but Batel’s story felt pretty weak and quickly thrown together.

This season has been -okay-, weakest season so far, but still better than Discovery.

while accomplishing nothing except creating a massive privacy surveillance apparatus.

And that’s the govs real goal achieved. They didn’t care about the children.
