Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?11·2 years agoI just use my teeth and it horrifys anyone I’m with…
Jokes on them though, because I’m the one with an open beer.
I get paid 4 weekly so get 13 pays a year.
Even better if you keep schtoom about it and automate your work from home job allowing you to just chill for most of the day.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Scientist warn 1 billion on track to die from climate change.English11·2 years agoIn Europe over 60,000 people died in 2022 due to heatwaves.
People are blind to these deaths because they’re not being taken out by a single devastating event, but rather a series of small events the people brush off as “they were going to die anyway”.
It’s one of the reasons I’ve not, and will not have children. This is getting exponentially worse and I couldn’t image the horror that our future will face.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you don't like, that you wish you did like? and why2·2 years agoMy next door neighbour has a dog that just screams and wails all day. It sounds horiffic, but because it’s got food water and shelter and doing it in the day time when his owners are at work it’s ok (says the local authority).
The only benefit to an automatic is being able to eat a burrito while driving.
Still doesn’t outweigh the niceness of driving a manual.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•iFixit Tears Down McDonald's McFlurry Machine, Petitions Government for Right to Hack ThemEnglish3·2 years agoI see you also are a project manager.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who are you always going to be rude to and why?5·2 years agoIt’s always fun to answer the door to JW when you’re a goth. They’re already in a state of panic before you’ve opened your mouth.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who are you always going to be rude to and why?1·2 years agoIt’s clear you have never met a woman…
Source: a woman who beat every other male in every grade in my comp sci degree and is top of the class.
Also has a life because WOMEN CAN MULTITASK APPARENTLY.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live?2·2 years agoFrom someone who once drank an ashtray on a pub bet, I’ve definitely drank some worse coffees.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What have you witnessed or seen that would sound like a conspiracy theory if someone else told you?105·2 years agoThis is true, they try to hide this type of activity, and if you fight it they’ll take you down too. Source: personal experience.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What temperature do you keep your thermostat at?5·2 years ago18°C in the winter, and off completely in the summer.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Leaked Zoom all-hands: CEO says employees must return to offices because they can't be as innovative or get to know each other on ZoomEnglish4·2 years agoThat makes so much sense.
My pre pandemic job was amazing because of the people I worked with. They were great fun and we would also go out together at the weekend.
After lockdown load sof people moved on to higher paid roles as did I.
My last 2 jobs have been friendless, even the hybrid one because even if you’re in the office, others are out so you’re still not forming relationships.
It would have worked better if it was an “everybody works from home Monday and Friday” but that removes all the flex…
Today in my remote job I have no work friends, but I also got a dog, spend loads of time with my new friends (neighbours who also have dogs), am completing a full time degree while working full time bacuse I have no commute and generally I’m significantly happier.
My house is actually tidy too because my 5 min breaks are tidy up breaks rather than piss about distracting someone else breaks.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I tested positive for Covid a few hours ago and then my puppy got a rectal prolapse an hour laterEnglish1·2 years agoSnap on asthma/heart/immune triad.
COVID sucked way more than I thought it would, people just don’t understand that some folks genuinelys till struggle with it. Hope you and pup feel better soon
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft announces Python formulas in Excel... which have to get sent to the cloudEnglish3·2 years agoThis happened in my old place - also on the business side. Asked for python, got it, then had it immediately removed because of security risks.
I told the head that I could still access tables and shit via excel if I wanted so what does it matter? He didn’t realise this, and asked that I told no-one else it could be done. FFS.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Ex-Tesla employee reveals shocking details on worker conditions: 'You get fired on the spot.'English37·2 years agoCompanies pay when people make mistakes.
Why the fuck would you fire someone when you just paid for a lesson that prevents further mistakes?
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?6·2 years agoMy biggest fear is that you are aware of everything and can feel the pain when under, but forget it all - men in black style - to leave a relatively ok experience if not a little sick feeling.
Urbanfox@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What immediately makes you lose respect for someone?4·2 years agoIt’s treating animals in a way that you wouldn’t treat humans because it’s wrong/illegal.
Keeping them as pets, breeding them, caging them (slavery)
Eating them, or using their products (cannibalism)
Wearing their skins (is there even a name for that?)
I came across it when I was young as a family member worked in animal activism and was horrified that I had a pet.
It’s not just about the p-value being more than 95%, the power also needs to be above 80% and we need to have run for at least a business cycle.
