The video is in the article. The response was "you're fine" and a pat on the back. Can't make that shit up.

It sounds like they had it there because of the Moskva sinking.

Certainly not. Immediately after the war started, Turkey closed its passage for Russian naval ships. The black sea fleet is on its own since then and can neither retreat nor be reinforced.

Um mal eine Lanze zu brechen... Auch Arbeitgeber sind Menschen (und gerade niedriges und mittleres Management sind auch meistens nur arme Hunde, die genau wie du im Hamsterrad stecken) und mit ein wenig Empathie kommt man meistens weiter.

Und was soll ich denn gesagt haben? Dass ich mich für mehreren Tagen krank melde, weiß aber immer noch nicht wie viele?

Also... Ja? Ich hätte das so gemacht. Einfach wenn du den Termin hast mal eben im Sekretariat angerufen und sagen "moin, ich habe am nächsten Montag einen Arzttermin mit einer Untersuchung. Den habe ich vor meinen Dienst gelegt" (das zeigt gleich jede Menge guten Willen) "aber wenn sich die Untersuchung verzögert oder sich dabei etwas zeigt, das weitere Untersuchungen nötig macht werde ich mich gegebenenfalls spontan krank melden müssen." Easy peasy. Dann wissen die Bescheid und können schonmal planen und dein Kollege weiß auch, dass er evtl angerufen wird und für dich einspringen muss.

Also, musst du das tun? Nö. Aber es erleichtert den Leuten im Büro das Leben und macht den Tag für deinen Kollegen berechenbarer. Wäre also mEn einfach ein feiner Zug.

If the alternative is Windows which is increasingly filled with ads or Linux which shifts the burden of computer administration to a user who might not have a clue about what they're supposed to do if their WiFi doesn't "just work", paying for a managed walled garden that doesn't try to install candy crush without you asking for it isn't such a bad option.

That's a strange way to de-risk. Let's see how that will turn out for them.

Oh we have a dedicated Linux service contract with a dedicated Linux support company that has technicians just to deal with Linux issues and provide the Linux setup. We've had time to adapt. I guess some bloke still decided that there just had to be a malware scanner and now we all have to eat shit. This is much less a lesson for it departments and much more a lesson that the people who manage stuff just have other goals than the people working with the tools that are managed, so you end up with somebody who wants to cover their ass in case something goes wrong in the future and makes it a terrible experience for everybody in the process but can sell it as a necessity to the people below and as action to the people above.

So, this just popped up on my feed and I'm that much into bikes beyond owning an older one to get me from a to b in my small town or to the next city, so bear with me if the question is stupid, but I always thought carbon frames were used because they are so warp resistant, thus losing less of the energy that you put into the system to bending the frame. How much sense does it make to have a frame that is expensive due to this property and combine it with a suspension that is supposed to absorb energy put into the system into warping springs to have a smoother ride? Like, it seems those are pretty much drawing the properties of this bike into opposing directions, no?

Same. The Linux setup there is a fucking mess though... AD authentication freezes login for a minute or so if you switch networks at the wrong moment, puppet keeps messing with the system and recently they installed clamav as a live malware scanner on all machines, making them eat batteries for breakfast and slowing down even menial tasks. If you have admin rights, they refuse to add your user to sudoers but instead create a new admin user (another indicator that they're just really coming from windows) which everybody just uses to add their original user to sudoers, which was a nice workaround but which they now noticed and want to prohibit via puppet or user rights or something. It's just such a mess. I mean, still leagues ahead of using windows, but a corporate environment really is a machine that transforms time and money into a terrible experience for everybody.

I really don't get why the time machine would have to do any calculations at all. The time machine is in this reference frame. You seem to assume that by going back through time you'd be teleporting through time, which leaves the open question of where you'd appear. However, I'd much rather assume that you'd actually be "going" through time. You wouldn't cease to exist until you reappeared somewhere. Instead you'd be in the machine for some time until you'd get out of the machine again. That'd mean neither you nor the machine ever leave the reference frame.

Since I stay on earth now when I'm moving forward in time why wouldn't I stay on earth when I move backward through time?

Macht bei 40 Stunden pro Woche und 4 Wochen pro Monat immerhin fast 10 Cent die Stunde. Das ist mehr als du von Spotify für einen Stream kriegst, also lohnender als diese Tagträumerei von deiner Gitarre. Also nimm das an! Sieh es als Sprungbrett!

Are Israeli Jews driven out of their homes by armed gangs today? No.

Well... I guess some hostages would like to differ. What a jerk. With parts like that, I'm not surprised by the outcome.
