    You probably already have one, but if you don't; get an electric toothbrush.

    Also get a water flosser for when you CBA to manually floss! Imo something is better than nothing.

  • Has anyone found since installing Balatro it is using battery even when you're not running it? I noticed recently my battery has been running down a bit more than usual. I then noticed since my last charge it says Balatro has been using my battery even though I haven't played and it's not running as an app that I can close in the background.

    I found this really useful when I went to university. I was able to keep a job that I could go back to around Xmas to earn a bit of money so I didn't need to work during term time

  • Major overhaul of workers' rights to be outlined

    My employer has already been putting measures in place to what seems to be potential loopholes. Hybrid working was bundled as part of "flexible working", they have separated it out into a different terminology. The term Flexible Working is now purely for those who want to change their hours like removing a day once a week and getting paid less, or moving hours from one day into the other 4.

    A large number of companies are pushing to get people to RTO and I get the feeling these workers rights won't counteract that.

    Ditto! My mum would jazz it up a tad by making an apple sauce to go with it. To this day it's so memorable for me as a delicious desert but for some reason I've not attempted to make it myself

    BorrowBox is pretty great in what you can borrow for free. My other half gets audio books from it from time to time!

    Hate to be that guy, but the federation exists in a post-money society. No one gets paid, they do what they do for prestige, pride, adventure, and the good of humanity. Maybe the management believe they can inspire their minions to do better, or maybe the SME's are so used to that shit that they under promise and over deliver.

    SME: "oh no, our defences are down" Captain: "How long do you need to fix them?" SME: (hmm, captain will cut the time in half, it takes about 15 minutes...fuck it...) "Two hours" Captain: "You have one" SME: (Like candy from a baby)

    I had to turn the music off as it got repetitive, but the rest of the audio stays on. The sound effects are so satisfying as everything is counted after playing a hand and you've got a bunch of jokers and cards triggering and then flames begin to build up.

    I'm guessing the top management didn't learn that crunch is perceived negatively and doesn't always yield quality results. I'm so glad I never backed this game all those years ago.

    Dawn of War 3 was absolutely ruined by them trying to make it an eSports. I find most RTS doesn't give that same feel we got when WC3 first came out or later on when Company of Heroes was released. They were solid games that brought something new to the genre.

    I'm still in those early cautiously optimistic stage where I hope I can make a positive change that will help those who come after me. How long does it take for the pessimism to set in? 😂

    Thanks for this. As part of onboarding I have been trying to update where I can. There are times I wonder if I am adding to docs what others may perceive as fluff as it may be something obvious to them. I like to work with a "If we're all on a bus that goes over a cliff, does someone new have everything they need?" mentality.

    At present the team is using GitHub Pages, which almost feels like a hurdle itself in updating the documentation quickly and keeping it organised and consistent. Being a junior I personally prefer a WYSIWYG. From your experience is there any pros/cons in using a WYSIWYG vs Markdown?

  • Hey all, I'm still a junior dev with years of experience in IT. One of the things I've noticed since making the switch is that (at least where I work) documentation is inconsistent. Things I encounter include incomplete documentation, outdated documentation and written process details that have assumed knowledge which makes it difficult for junior Devs to pick up. I've had a search and a lot of what is out there talks more about product and how to document that SDLC rather than best practice in writing and organising documents against the actual software engineering and its processes. Does anyone have any good sources or suggestions on how I could look to try and begin to improve documentation within my team?

    I quite liked Zack Snyder's works regardless of what people would say, even thought Army of the Dead was average but watchable. After watching the first Rebel Moon I realised the works are all style but barely any substance and I just can't see myself getting invested in anything released under his name in the future.

    I feel like if he was paired up with a great writer and someone who could reign in his use of slow-mo we could be on to a winner

    Has anyone seen Loudermilk?

    I recently kept getting advertised Loudermilk on Netflix. I'd see the initial trailer that they play and wasn't intrigued. I then sat down for lunch and wanted something to watch, I decided to give it a go and after the first couple of episodes I was hooked. I finished season 3 and it was such a fun show to watch. Unfortunately I see the studio that created it has been shuttered. What's the likelihood this show will ever be picked up again?

    I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of a non-biased source of all party Manifestos? I remember some time ago there was a site where people could answer questions on subjects that were important to them and based on those which party is recommended.
