Trump’s comic can with only the first 4 panels and he missed he point of the comic

We adopted a hybrid model. I’m in a technical role and most of my team is all very far away from me (1200 km). Some are in my local office however, but I don’t really work with them. Thus, I promptly ignored the emails encouraging us to return

Travel to my office is 35 mins; 45 to an hour in winter. No thanks. I do exceptional work, get my shit done, mentor juniors, and was hired on covid. You can drag me back to office kicking and screaming.

I’ll go if there is a reason for me to go: in-person client workshop? I’m there and I’m there early. Big wigs are in town and want to meet the team? I’m first in line to shake hands. Im not, however, returning to the office for the wonderful conversation at the urinal. I don’t project manage or people manage. Give me your garnliest technical issues, and I’ll lead a small team to complete them, but I’m not signing timesheets or pushing corporate messages so I don’t need to rub elbows with people.

Now if you’ll excuse, the basement isopods are getting lonely

I fully support this

I said what I said.

I don’t give a shit if it’s mother Theresa slobbing my job, as long as I get their number and they’re game to do it again.

Call me bb.

You’ll notice that I also had armour of stone, so my +2 plate was invulnerable to all physical damage even before any armour spells. With the Paladin damage spell it was two hits on most things with my +2 shield - easily doing 70 DMG or so with magic alone. Lmao.

I’m with you. I used to use a lot more parentheses, but the break is cleaner. I opt for en dashes, though, because I find too em dashes to be too long. That could just be a MSWord preference because I don’t distinguish on other platforms.

That actually makes sense, and is a change from beta. Yet if you proc it before, you can walk through fire or poison

I’m working on it, but a lot of my issues stem from repetitive motion injuries.

Crossing the street in Vietnam is the weirdest experience: you just slowly shuffle out, and this literal sea of mopeds parts around you like a school of fish around a shark

You relatives say hello, Mr. crabs

Bad Dragon has entered the chat

Lol. I had these guys beat in terms of hours, and their job was nowhere near as physical as mine was.

Now I get to be a desk jockey, and it’s fucking sweet. Gonna milk it, because I put my hours in.

In my case, it’s the combo of way, way to much walking in work boots and then later doing a lot of sitting. gotta shorten up those hip flexor, bae

I showered every day, but it didn’t help much. Didn’t help that the camp shower were effectively just someone spraying you with a high powered squirt bottle on the mist setting. 1000 psi, all mist.

Did they make a paper air plane out of that letter? The creases look like it

This is the most accurate thing ever. I’m pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven’t been in the field for 3 years

This is a brilliant comment - thanks for the laugh

How do they brute force their way to a better algorithm? Just trial and error? How do they check outcomes to determine that their new model is good?

I don’t expect you to answer those musings - you’ve been more than patient with me.

Honestly, I’m a tree hugger, and the fact that we aren’t going for nuclear simply because of smear campaigns and changes in public opinion is insanity. We already treat some mining wastes in perpetuity, or plan to have them entombed for the rest of time - how is nuclear waste any different?
