The UK has been right up there on the highest number of cameras per person in the world, this isn’t surprising. They’ve been at the forefront of this before China took the records.

Absolutely ran into fake CVs and people farming off the interview to 3rd party interview factories. Not at all surprised this was happening. Can’t say I ran into North Koreans but a lot of recruitment agencies were passing people on with little to no vetting. You’d interview someone on camera and they’d be a different person once everything was signed. Given how hard it was to correct that they’d still walk away with a few weeks salary, even in your states with at will contracts it’s super difficult to let anyone go.

It’s a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I’d be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it’s never “I’d never thought of doing it that way!” levels of amazing.

Dream of tech bosses everywhere. Pay an intermediate dev for average level senior output.

I’m a lefty but my teachers never knew how to handle a lefty so my handwriting is also illegible. I had to go do handwriting basics (“colour in the enclosed area of the A shape”) in high school.

So mileage may vary even if leftyism is tolerated. But look at me now teachers! I type obscure commands all day and get a sore hand when I pick up a pen! Checkmate!

Human? I’m just a lead induced hallucination. In reality you’ve been chewing on your gems, which coincidentally are made of lead, and talking to the wall.

I think this (well, Community) gives people hope that there are better versions in different timelines. Dash those hopes, there is only one reality, this is where they are. No rolling dice out of this one.

This makes meat obelisk slices sound more appealing to me. And now I’m hungry.

Do pants feel pain?

There are better kings in pyscadelic rock. King Buffalo maybe? King Gizzard is not always easy listening.

I made a little brown bump.

I would read that paper.

I probably had, but I also probably erased it with some beer later. These days I only know and retain YAML.

It’s Always Sunny had an episode like this. Now I know it’s based on a real story. How rare.

Is Les Claypool still alive in that world where Flea is the greatest?

Ha. I guess I rewrote my own memory.

Edit: complete fabrication be here.

The “do horrible thing to save someone” story, yeah, maybe.

But the pig thing had been going around for years about the then/former prime minister. Some kind of hazing at eton or wherever those posh folks go. The episode was just a reference to that.

Fun fact: he lived in Australia in the 70s.

Toenail fungus? You know those ads are targeted? I guess we all learnt something about old “gross toes Ertebolle” today.

Safest way to ensure I WILL eat this meme: tell me not to.
