Yeah, pretty sure a Civic with winter tyres is pretty capable as long as it doesn’t bottom out on the snow or try to drive on solid ice

mmm crumpet zones

I think industry jobs are more… Grounded. If you look like you’re not an idiot and you’re not lazy, you’re hired; whatever you don’t know can be learned on the job.

At least that’s how it is in my area.

Yeah, I’m an industrial automation tech, so my kind of programming is different from what is done in information technology, but I’ve never been asked to complete exercises during an interview.

Yeah my life sucked 20 years ago, fuck that… I’d go back further if I could change some things.

Do you need to? If you put a valve on the nozzle, then you can stop flow even more reliably than retraction does

Single-biome planet is a quite common trope in “science fiction” (tvtropes warning)…

The problem with my printers is that I never leave them alone.

I feel like if there’s any truth to this, it’s for the other way around: you can give up on life, and your body gives up with you. If you don’t give up, and your body still has something to give, you stay alive.

I’d say… elitism

I feel like the real meaning is milder than this

shit I was planning on learning programming starting from python… so what now? I’ve got some high-school level microcontroller C memories, and I’m proficient with Ladder and simple Instruction List. I tend to learn by doing, that’s why I was going for Python, it felt like I could make something straight away.

Idk, we’ve got Ferragosto for example as a national holiday where EVERYTHING is closed…

Italy, actually. It’s bonkers to me how the labor movement, so strong in the USA at the start of the past century, is so weak nowadays.

For example it’s outrageous to me that you hold voting on a work day while not making it a national holiday or day off of some sort.

TBH most people I know don’t actually take the whole day, we’ve all got too much shit to do at work.

Depending on what you donate, you may have to wait 3 months between one donation and the next, we often donate whole blood; Plasma donations must be at least two weeks apart I think. I’m pretty sure there must be a limit to the numbers of days off you can get. It’s all managed through the national mutual assitance org, the employer must seek reimbursement through them as they would for sick days.

Here if you go donate you get a sandwich and a day off work
