HE JUMPED INTO HIS FABRIC POUCH AAAAAA

The guac they deserve

If the song lyrics are relevant to the scene, sure I could see them being there. Like those songs that are custom written to do a sort of 4th wall breaking live commentary on the characters. But a lot of songs? Not needed at all.

This feels like the difference between cars vs pedestrians as the more important user. Having drains on each side means that even if there’s some good buildup of water, the crowned center means you’re more likely to be able to fit one car through, but you totally wipe out the sidewalks. I’m all for /c/fuckcars and would prefer sidewalk use, but I can see the other way winning in the US as roads are primarily designed for cars. Maybe dense city centers could prioritize sidewalks, but more rural stuff and stroads could prioritize roads.

Aww!

This is a side point, but I get mildly infuriated when articles like this state “Some leaders say they insist on full-time in-person work because it boosts productivity, despite clear evidence that it does not.” Oh? Clear evidence? I can’t find any. Can you? There are 3 journal articles referenced in that sentence, none of which say anything about productivity. I poked around Google Scholar and find that productivity gain / loss is still unknown, and depends greatly on the work and the field. Do you have to use actual physical stuff in an office? Definitely lower productivity working from home. Do you work with a team that’s all in the same office? Also a solid productivity loss. But if you don’t work with anyone in your office and all your stuff is online? No probably no productivity loss (but I didn’t find a specific reference there).

I’ve seen a ton of posts saying WFH is so clearly better for revenue and productivity, and it’s more about the sunk cost of the office space rented or a boss wanting to lord over his employees. And yes, I like that narrative and it works well for me, but the actual research just isn’t there and it bugs me that it’s stated like a solid irrefutable fact. It’s not! it’s a gray area! it depends!

Spam away. I’ve been on hiring committees, and sometimes we have tons of qualified applicants and a hard choice, sometimes we have none. If you spam you’ll have a better chance of hitting a company when there’s fewer people in their list. As long as you’re somewhat qualified, at least; no reason to spam for jobs that are vastly outside of what you can do.

Wait how does that work? I didn’t know there was a way to not let someone into bed, I thought you could just pile on?

She has to do her investigations! It’s very important!

Fantastic explanation

Oh wow it’s about as close as you can get
