Very true.

I generally just use my ceramic bladed hair cutter on 0 when I’m not required to have a clean, clean shave, and then like I say above just use a BIC when I need a baby’s bum face for work etc.

The twin / triple blades I find can be off-putting to some since if you have too much growth they latch on and snag.

Yeah, we’ve got something I recall being called the P-laws or something brought in, meaning all new sockets need to be a certain height above floor level.

I’ve seen many rented houses here that still have them on the floor since older builds ain’t required to rectify them. Scary if you see all the recent flooding we’ve been having in some parts of the country :/

But those three pin / fused BS 1363 whilst been one of the safest sockets you can get, I can confirm they’re an absolute bastard if you stand on one.

Personally, I never learned how to use a razor

🤔

Alright. Ima be ur daddy and tell you have to shave in 3 minutes flat.

• Acquire some BIC single blade razors

• Head to shower, put it on steaming hot and apply steaming hot water to face. Getting a hot towel after getting out of the shower and leaving it on your face for a while makes a tough shave even moar comfortable.

• Lather shaving foam all over face

• Run BIC razor under cold running water and shave until your face is like a baby’s bum

• Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all lather

As a Britbong, I’m always proud of not only BS1363 and the safety it has brung us over the years but the fact that I know that number off the top of my head.

I usually have a goldfish memory for things like that.

Nah.

USB is slow, and will kill the drive if used 24/7. I know it’s hard to expend too much money on a dedicated box for storage but long term you’ll thank yourself for investing.

3TB of data I lost and paying to recover that data? Dammit, hindsight is a bitch

Says on the product page that that Beelink supports a maximum 2TB SSD, so I wouldn’t go buying another unless you’re sure it can.

As others have said, no USB drives as I’ve had a failure with one too hence me now having a NAS. I know you said you’re allergic to spending money but saving up for one was the best thing I’ve bought for a while.

Main thing is Capt, you’re here to tell us your best stories.

Tell us your most favourite food please, and how you came across it? Mine’s carbonara and an Italian girlfriend who loved that shit.

Ya know, it is kinda ironic these days with the great views 1 mile each way and the cheaper prices compared to the rest of our homeland :p

I’m a lad from Bradford, in the UK.

And it kinda rhymes.

I’d posit those numbers are much, much higher, and some guys who used to do our Megathreads over in r/Android now keep getting random bots commenting against months, even posts - https://archive.is/OmW0f

I spotted em years ago over in their many test subreddits and reddit actually outsourced them as a QA testing.

My immediate manager is fine and like I said above, half of their managers could be given the chopping block but that doesn’t mean I need to find new employment as you suggest. I quite like my job since I can walk it there, work outside all day with wonderful views even if the weather does get a bit poop sometimes.

In fact it tells me you’re relatively sheltered with experience in workplaces if you think most places don’t have lazy ass managers, office drones (I like this term), and good luck asking if they even have them during an interview.

Nah, I wouldn’t want to become an office drone because I’d go from calling people on the internet liars to then trying to give others career advice when they don’t even know 2% of my job.

Hilarious, the self-righteousness must come from being an office drone, right?

Well, maybe your workplace wouldn’t put up with these people but I can confirm that besides them not being able to use SAP to check the quantity of a BOM, to like I said - they have access to the other functions / data but prefer to delegate them to others.

So it ends up going down a hierarchy until someone else does what these managers could do themselves in the first instance.

I have direct experience with the management that only work days since I work continental hours, so get to see how we run during the night without them.

Like I said, half is probably a number we could run with at my place. Sorry state of affairs.

The old; how do you know someone is a software developer? Yup, they tell ya!

I think I really touched a nerve with that guy though, and it seems like they want to be an office drone instead of working from home (this is the bit where the “senior software devs + team manager” argue they need to collaborate, in person) with a nice life balance.

I know exactly what those emails are because I have to deal with them asking me if a wagon that I’m looking at has arrived yet.

So I email them back telling them that it’s arrived (they knew that already because goods-in already updated the checking in sheet) and they get to validate their job somehow by asking me, shit.

It’s quite amazing how they keep their jobs.

I once worked in an office doing what I described above.

I absolutely hated it stuck in a cubicle, and now work outside with lots of other people grafting, instead of listening to gossiping over the cubicles all day long. Think I lasted 2 months.

The thing you’re not accounting for is that work that primarily involves thought, which is what “office drones” are doing

Found the office drone.

Our office drones are not “thinking” for half the day like you, and input and manipulate data. You could also include half these “managers” too who sit in an office sending emails all day, and never hit the shop floor.

You’re absolutely spot on, and it’s evidenced by house prices here in the UK where they’re next to or near a rail line.

They are noisy fuggers and people do not like living by them.

Starting with version 0.19.0 voting also counts as being active.

aka, the lurkers 👀

I’ve always upvoted both posts that are on topic to the community and always to people who take the time out of their day to reply.

It’s like common courtesy to me and votes are like free confetti anyways.

So I suppose the OP’s figures are, off.
