In Europe over 60,000 people died in 2022 due to heatwaves.
People are blind to these deaths because they’re not being taken out by a single devastating event, but rather a series of small events the people brush off as “they were going to die anyway”.
It’s one of the reasons I’ve not, and will not have children. This is getting exponentially worse and I couldn’t image the horror that our future will face.
I work on websites and have carried out extensive user testing to get the right non-binary honorific, and it ended up being Mx.
Implemented it on every site I’ve worked on now.
Same, but I’m in Scotland. I was out shovelling snow in a vest and leggings and my neighbour who was dressed for an arctic expedition was horrified.
I’m just built for a different climate.
May 2017 in Manchester, UK.
And me… The main app was a nightmare with ads, and slow as shit when you’re out and about.
Probably won’t continue to use Facebook after the lite app goes.
I thought 500 quid seemed a bit light to be mending generational wealth accumulation.
This seems much more in line with what I would expect.
Note, I’m a statistician, but don’t do maths outside of 9-5 /s
Hahahah, imagine going to another country and trying to pay in another currency and being shocked they wouldn’t accept it.
I can’t even spend Scottish notes in England when it’s all Sterling, never mind trying to pay for a small shop coffee in dollars.
This is innovation, and problem solving the small stuff is a very important skill in the modern day work environment.
Do I wasn’t to hand calculate an entire statistical analysis, no. I use excell.
It doesn’t make the work any more or less valid. If you can Google something in under a minute, don’t bother spending a tonne of time trying to remember it.
This person did seem to pull the “woe is me” threads in her text messages to other colleagues, apparently seeking out sympathy.
Also, if they’ve got nothing but sick kids, then a death or near death is the next step up to garner sympathy because the status quo is sick kids.
This may be a good guess to why she might have done it.
If you don’t have much of a maternal instinct, crying babies are pretty annoying.
But for the majority of us who don’t like kids, we just ignore it or if in charge of said infant, try to settle them rather than murder them.
Sri Lankan chicken curry. Absolutely incredible meal.

During the Reddit protest I got a professional certification. It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not doomscrolling…
I’ve worked in a founder led business and this is why I quit.
I’d spend forever working on a project to build a satellite site then suddenly we don’t want that anymore - bin the recipes we want a full main site redbrand.
Bye.
Jokes on you, I have an autoimmune disorder, so getting the cold puts me in bed for a week.
It’s worth noting that we’ve also ruined many fruits through breeding and generic engineering so that they have a massively increased amount of sugar. They won’t be as ‘healthy’ as wild varieties, but hot damn do they taste good.
Same, I like Rush too much to chuck out all my albums.
Do I feel so bad I want to just lie down? I’ll call in sick.
Am I at risk of yarfing or shitting my pants? I’ll work from home.
Otherwise, I go to work.
I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.
He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.
This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.
Noped right out of there and bought German.
