Wikipedia! Though…I only have a couple bucks to spare right now, I’m still proud to be able to contribute a tiny droplet to them.

As if Benji is The Devil himself…

Then it could be a specific case that causes the lags. I noticed that a complicated folder structure, maybe in combination with sharepoint links, are the worst. and the icons would take some time to load as well 😞. I’m even on a beefy and expensive company workstation laptop.

Did the “upgrade” to win11 last week, it’s been quite horrible especially the windows explorer which hangs for 5s every time I open a folder 😮‍💨

I live in Taiwan, so I’m pretty close to Japan. Plane ticket prices to Japan are dropping, and there are rumors also of people leaving (temporarily?) from Japan for this occasion. So yeah, some people take it seriously 😅

Heh. This one’s great.

If I were you, I’d rather not 😂

Toast bread with a bit of ketchup and a slice of cheese on top, sprinkle a bit of salt if necessary, then bake until the cheese bubbles. I call it the poor man’s pizza.

That’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

Relocated to another position, a lateral movement perhaps.

Pope: dies

Corpo God : "We are happy to announce the relocation of Pope Francis to his next steps within the company. We are thankful for their contribution for the last 12 years and we look forward to their future achievements. BR, management.

Now I want to make some gnocchi…

Why does he write the letter H like an M?? Who writes like that…

I understand that you don’t deliberately mean to be racist but…

How are you supposed to trust the Korean sitting in the metro writing some obscure script in their obscure app…?

How about the Taiwanese who writes and speaks Chinese, how do you trust them?

In the end people judge by appearance, which is ahem racism.

I think this is the job for the immigration agency to approve their visa, and anyways there are already some limitations on people from certain countries to travel abroad, please don’t start to encourage people to lynch certain people based on their appearance…

I understand your point. It’s just easy to make it economic as an example, productivity can go to hell. Life satisfaction and life expectancy by themselves should be a big enough motivation to support public welfare. It’s just that the arguments against are usually rooted in economic motivations, e.g. inefficiency of the tax money management.

There could be a misunderstanding here, I meant public welfare spending, not personal spending.

Countries who spend more on public welfare would get more people being productive rather than staying home sick. Higher life expectancy and higher life satisfaction is also expected.

The facto agent

The welfare spending provides an oversized return in productivity. What is common to all the low spenders - low life expectancy.

I’m terrible at them. Baked a flat pancake that was supposed to be bread. Fumbling on the guitar. Haven’t drawn anything in the past 3 years. Electrical projects on hold.

I think I have to focus a little bit more 😅

Well, you could. But imagine after all the conflict, would Russia offer a good deal? Who’d pay for the cost increase? And what else could they ask in return, more raw material for nuclear weapons, so that in 15 years they can go another round with an even better odds?
