Compared to chains? I’d say it’s generally quite good

On a serious note, they probably meant ‘my’ (and speak a slavic language)

I file late just about every year…

Yeah moving to the UK from Germany it was a big shock how bad the ‘standard’ beers were.

In Germany you could just order ‘a beer’ and get something good, in the UK it would be like birra moretti or something

I liked the ales though…

We used to do 12-hour, all-night Empire Earth games!

Weirdly, WoW was like a constant, ongoing lan party for us.

We would all lug our rigs over to one guys house and play, even if we were in separate raid groups

Essentially: the status quo of the past 30 years is dead (and its never coming back), some people just haven’t realized it yet.

It’s hard to imagine, but modern inequality is actually very extreme in historical context

It’s a mess for my team in terms of:

• someone’s video isn’t showing for anyone else
• someone can’t see anyone else’s video
• it resets my camera settings every time I restart it
• microphone settings seem to randomly break, so we always have people running off to grab backup headsets.
• it’s missing thread features (like in slack) so branching discussions are a fucking mess.
• most of my team uses Linux and the screen-sharing as well as file/picture sharing rarely works right.

Before we used a combination of Slack (for text communication) and Google Meet (for video) which was much more reliable a day functional.

The Republicans are much better about using topics they don’t care as much about to generate support so they can achieve the ones they do.

The Democrats tend to want to die on every hill, which is ultimately a losing strategy.

Similarly to what happened with UKIP, the Tories will just take Reforms policies, bring in new further-right leadership and support will come back.

Especially after Labour (who just got elected on a fairly bland centrist manifesto) won’t manage to magically fix things in 2-3 years. Conservative media will blame Labour for all the issues (even though most are the fault of the Tories) and Conservative voters will rally around the banner of “Labour out!”.

Or Reform just eats the Tories, which seems a but less likely to me, but either way the split won’t last.
