Trop fiers/imbus de leur personne pour reconnaître qu'ils ont acheté un "étron" 100000 boules...

When I was at AIG working in data management, I learned the company had 50+ plus definitions of gender (probably related to life insurance policies).

@ghost_shit If "literally" can be used figuratively, then "boneless" can contain bones.

I don't make the rules.

This will not change until we get a root and branch rewrite of the state constitution. Until then we’ll continue to work on piecemeal amendments that are too frequently in jeopardy.

As a fellow Indivisible, I say go for it. Currently my group is writing 20 letters/ month to PA and GA. (That is, per person and 20 per state)

@asltf @OhWeh @energisch_ Man muss aber auch sagen, dass es in jüngster Vergangenheit einen positiven Trend gibt. Inzwischen ruft die Polizei sogar öffentlich dazu auf, dass man Falschparker per weg.li anzeigt, und die in meinem Bezirk zuständige Polizei versucht laut eigener Aussage, innerhalb der nächsten 5 Jahre die Gehwege von Falschparkern zu befreien. Sowas wie Abschleppen wird aber weiterhin verweigert, außer in wenigen Fällen wo Autofahrer behindert werden.

@asltf @OhWeh @energisch_ Bei so 5-Jahres-Plänen bin ich auch immer skeptisch. Wenn man dann nach 1, 2, 3 Jahren nichts merkt und nicht absehbar ist, dass für die restlichen 2 Jahre entsprechend Tempo gemacht wird, weiß man, dass es mal wieder nur eine hohle Phrase war. Vgl. Koalitionsvertrag von Grün-Rot im Stadtrat und Themenkomplex "Verkehrswende".

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trump has consistently polled better than Democratic president Joe Biden on the economy, per FT.

“Today’s GDP report makes clear we now have the strongest economy in the world.” - President Biden in a statement https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/25/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-second-quarter-2024-gdp/

Gatekeeping is dumb. You are what you are, the rest is description.

Also, this is a pretty communist instance, so it's no wonder you got "lol liberal" responses. Maybe try .world for a wider perspective on a question like this.

Edit: Or another large, politically generic instance, like sh.itjust.works.

I work as a Java programmer, which means that I spend about 50% of my day complaining about Java. Why doesn't it have enums like Rust? Why are there no tuples? How many goat sacrifices do the Java gods require to support named optional arguments to functions like Python? In the remaining time I have meetings, write docs, write tests, and sometimes even code. Nothing to complain about though, seeing how we are treated compared to people I know who work as taxi drivers or in elderly care, we programmers are basically treated as gods.

As for music, I like Hardstyle and Drum and Bass primarily. Examples: "Phuture Noize & Devin Wild - Waves", DnB: "Telomic & Susan H - Underwater". I'll be visiting the DnB festival "Liquicity festival" this weekend so I'm very hyped right now

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master's degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

When I make it it's much wetter than that and definitely needs to to poured into a bread pan. This is for Irish Brown Bread, not for the white flour soda bread with currants and whatnot.

Here's a picture of the dough from a similar recipe to what I use



If you do a search for "Irish soda bread" you'll get almost all the same kind of pictures of X cut boules with some kind of add ins. Sounds like the brown bread is something different, but it's probably still yummy.

One more mention for Dark, absolutely the best thing on Netflix IMO.

Others:

• Neuvas Rienas (9 queens) - an excellent Argentinian heist/scam film with quite a cool look. Like a mix of Ocean's Eleven (plotwise) and the Bourne films (visually).
• Intacto - interesting Spanish movie about people who are able to steal others' luck. I could imagine Christopher Nolan doing an English language remake.
• Le Havre - fun French film about an old man helping shelter a child who is in the country illegally. Very funny.
• Akira - obviously
• Ringu - original Japanese version. Terrifying.
• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - quite an obvious choice, but it absolutely blew me away when it came out.
• The Killing - Danish TV show. Not seen the American remake, but the original is amazing
• Oldboy - Korean movie, as above, remade, but I've only seen this. I suspect this one is better!
• Godzilla Minus One - monsters! And the suffering of post WW2 Japan! Odd mix, but it works!
• 8 Femmes - very funny French murder mystery. Recently remade (pretty well) in Italian as 7 Women and a Murder.
• Duet for Cannibals - very strange Swedish film I saw recently about two couples and some strange living/working arrangements.
• Rashomon - classic Japanese movie, where we see the same event from 3 different perspectives
• Taxi - brilliant French heist/crime/driving movie, with some superb car chases

So many more, but this list is getting too long!

For a serious drama: Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, a shockingly good pair of French films that start when an idealistic city dweller moves out to the countryside to start farming on some valuable land that the locals would rather went to them.

Much less seriously: Le Concert. A French comedy-drama about a Russian conductor forced out of his prestigious role after a falling out with the Soviet leadership, who many years later gets an opportunity to re-form his orchestra out of a rag-tag group who haven't played in years, and travel with them to Paris to give the eponymous concert, performing the same piece that he was conducting at the moment a KGB agent stormed in to strip him of his title. There are some more layers to it that give the movie some brilliant genuine heart, in addition to the hilarious hijinks of the premise.

I'll just add an extra one that doesn't really fit, but is kinda close. Death and the Maiden, by Ariel Dorfman. Doesn't fit both because it's a play rather than a movie or TV show, and because it might be originally English (I'm honestly not sure and have seen contrary answers about it—even in my copy of the play itself it's unclear, with references to the "world premiere" in England being after it "was staged and opened in...Chile"). But regardless of the original language, it's very much not from an anglo perspective, being written by a Chilean and set in post-Pinochet Chile (technically, it's described as being potentially any country post dictatorship, but it's primarily written for Chile). It's about a husband who accidentally welcomes into their home a man whom his wife swears was her warden and rapist while she was imprisoned by the dictatorial regime, and the play is all centred around "is she right, and will her husband believe her?"

Update: Thanks for the advice. Particularly, they may not realize they are loud. That was something I hadn't considered. I knocked on the door, and no one answered. I know someone is up there, because they walk like a dinosaur. Based on their steps during the day, I imagine they are quite heavy set, know how loud they walk, and could be embarrassed to open the door. I will try again later, and hopefully a positive update will follow.

But, if this turns into a game of noise, I have a solution: make them louder. I have access to an ultra sonics lab. They'll be loud enough I won't need to call in a noise compaint. The rest of the complex will come with torches and pitchforks. Though I believe this can be solved diplomatically.

Read some books on the subject

Never Split the Difference might be appropriate. Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion is a great read. Getting to Yes/Getting Past No may also be decent.

Understand "what kind of cards you're sitting on". Before that even happens, ensure that you have good cards

Concrete example: You're looking to increase your salary. You can do it either by convincing your current workplace to increase it, or you can look for a new job.

The cards you're sitting on: How valuable you are to the company, and how likely you are to leave if you don't get what you want.

How to improve your hand before you get to the negotiating table: Try getting some competing offers for jobs.

If you're the less experienced negotiator, avoid negotiating live

When negotiating salary for a new position, the recruiter likely has far more experience negotiating. They will know techniques to try to get you to commit to a lower number than is possible. To avoid this from happening, move negotiations from in-person/on the phone to email. Give yourself a lot of time to process all information.

Aw, aren't you the sweetest thing? 😁 I figure if she's doing that in broad daylight, she's gotta be doing stuff at night too.

The first four are remakes, but they're done very well.

Tokyo Vice

Shogun (not exactly a crime thriller but it will suck you in)

Ripley (shot like a black and white film from the 40's, good even if you've seen the Matt Damon movie)

Perry Mason

Yellowjackets

Altered Carbon

Big Little Lies

Nine Perfect Strangers

Dark Winds

If you like crime comedy, try White Lotus, Dead to Me, Search Party, Only Murders in the Building, Flight Attendant, and The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.

your a savior... my girlfriend will like the crime comedy ones so thanks for those!
