I know some people like this too.

To be fair, a nontrivial number of them are middle/upper management, but it's not the entirety of the people I know who want this.

The answer isn't work-from-home, nor is it return-to-office. The answer is: give people a choice.

If you want to work from home, cool, we don't need to maintain your cubicle, and/or, we can hire more people without needing more office space. If you want to return to office, cool, your space is waiting for you.

A few will retain the ability to switch back and forth, but the majority of people I've talked to about it, either want office or home exclusively. Very few want hybrid.

A single neuron.... Are you sure? That seems like a lot given what we've seen and heard from him.

He only has power because people blindly obey him. If they treated him like they treat anyone else, he'd just be some backwards talking schmuck.

Imagine the intelligence of the people who believe in him. Then realize that's a large portion of the voting population.

Last step: cry.

Ontario here....

IDK what Trump is trying to say here, but I don't like it.

As a guy, real masculinity is being comfortable with your gender and not becoming uncomfortable because someone else expresses theirs.

Guys, we're workers, and problem solvers. We're also so many more things like fathers, sons, brothers and friends. Masculinity as a concept is outdated. Adapt, overcome, persevere. That's all you need.

Anyone telling you that you're unmanly because you have, or don't have something, or because you do, or don't do something, is either a fool, or selling you something.

Be a man, ignore their bullshit.

Literacy is bad mmmm'kay?

Yep, because they're cheap. I don't notice it anymore, which only tells me that things have improved, I used to see it a lot with brake lights. Not so much with headlights.

I dunno why they're horrible, I just know that's an effect of PWM control that's been set up pretty poorly.

I'm not an engineer, nor do I work on cars, either designing them or fixing them. I'm just some guy.

Canada. Our inspections are basically a funny joke.

We have them for cars, but unless your car is basically rust with wheels, someone will sign the inspection to say it's roadworthy.

Well, your first point is great except we don't have yearly inspections on vehicles in North America or anything. Inspections happen when cars are registered, then never again until ownership changes hands and it needs to be registered by a new owner.

Add that to the fact that inspections are done by mechanics, and they don't generally give a shit about it, and it's a recipe for failure. Last time I got a used car inspected, the mechanic looked at the car through the window and said "is that it?" I replied "yeah", and he went through the list and checked all the normal stuff without glancing at the car again. So most inspections here are void from the get go.

The second point is valid and a design problem which I covered previously.
