The real concern is when things suddenly stop getting recalled.

Honestly wouldn’t normally narrow it down that much in Norway either, although most red buildings are barns and not houses. “The lake” is not a problem in Norway, most towns are in a glacier-carved valley with exactly one lake. There are small lakes in the mountains, but not in places which would usually receive mail. In this case, there just weren’t a lot of houses right next to the lake for whatever reason.

Probably works in rural areas. A friend of mine addressed a postcard to “the red house by the lake” in a small Norwegian town, and they were able to deliver it. Other people I know in Norway didn’t have street names until there was a big push for naming all the streets around 2015 or so. Prior to that they just used the name of the farm or skipped it entirely if their last name matched the farm.

None of these examples were from Iceland, but considering Iceland is even less populated than Norway, it seems plausible that drawing a map could work.

There’s no priority combination where sustained 60-80 hour weeks make sense.

Looking to prove yourself? You can’t sustain that long term, at least not at the same quality, so you’re just setting unrealistic expectations and setting yourself up to disappoint your boss.

Your boss told you to? If this is meant to last longer than 2 weeks, he’s setting all his subordinates up for burnout, and quality will suffer. Don’t let your boss set everyone up for failure.

Personally, I’ve found that 60-80 hour weeks is okay for a 2-week crunch. Then you need to recharge for 2 months before you can do it again. So treat crunch time like any other limited resource, and use it sparingly. Boss just wants it fast? Tough shit, it’ll be done when it’s done. Half the company is blocked until you fix this thing? Crunch time.

Even better if your dad is the guy.

I assume they’re saying that this is the kind of name J.K. Rowling might come up with.

He could have read it after he got better.

You can certainly feel that should be the case, and it’s a fine argument for atheistm, but that’s clearly not how it works in practice. Otherwise there wouldn’t be three religions sharing the same God (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), each in multiple variants. And they all agree that God flooded the earth, before basically going “Eh, that was a bit much, I promise not to do that again”.

Yeah, and having another offer both helps you get an offer (because you look more attractive), and helps you negotiate for the level of salary you need to rather work for them.

I’ve taken a pay cut when switching jobs before. I still used my old salary to make them give me the best offer they could muster. You may be surprised to learn that it didn’t bankrupt them.

So can you. You don’t need to have them match the other offer.

You should still apply, though. Because people hate them, they likely need to offer higher salaries to compensate, just like Meta does. You can use these high offers to negotiate a better salary at a more palatable company. Also, it wastes the time of a scumbag company, so win-win.

Just curious, what is the benefit of feeding water fowl ice cream?

You won’t believe the amount of right wingers who believe RATM are right wing. I assume because they sound angry?

I wouldn’t trust a public computer running Linux either.

They can be friends with me! I’ll take all that pesky cheese off their hands.

I needed to print something in a hotel today, and their computer was on Windows 7. No, I didn’t log into anything from it.

I think it just means they care more about the midterms than they care about Hegseth.

Even if it was just the adults, them not doing it eliminates herd immunity and puts others at risk.

Support was added relatively recently, and a lot of people didn’t notice. I think it also used to default to off, not sure what the current default is.

I get where you’re coming from, but he could easily argue that he needs a Republican majority for the bill to pass, and that the conditional is referring to that.
