I like diamonds, my wife calls me a magpie. I buy her jewelry so I get to look at it while she wears it. That being said, I only buy jewelry with artificial diamonds for my better half. She jokingly reacts affronted when I tell her, with an incredulous face she will go “What? No children died for this? Some husband you are!”

In other words: he was playing golf with some shipping magnate who complained about the high fees.

More like a broken clock: correct eventually for a short time.

That’s Sidney Sweeney, btw. You’re welcome.

Seems like what Dominique Pelicot considered his wife to be. Not an example I am willing to follow, I’ll tell you that.

Same, I just checked and for over a year they have been sending mails saying that my account has been deactivated and is at risk of deletion. It included a link to delete my account, but then I had to log in, so I figured “alright, I’ll just ride it out and have them delete it” but it just kept going for ages. Last one I received was in August 2024, so it seems like it stopped now but holy shit were they annoying.

Edit: checked my spam folder and they’re still sending this crap. I had forgotten I have it categorized as junk now.

Well, the laws create the conditions. In Europe health care tends to be strictly regulated, so you don’t get these wolves in health care. It’s actually considered quite a dull career that pays decently but nothing out of the ordinary, even for the higher ups.

This is literally a conversation I have had with a specific friend several times this year.

Just beat it

Having done remote support in the past, there is often a delay and especially with scrolling it is difficult to control, so I always ended up doing the side bar thing as well.

Control panel is also a quirky one, because it is sorted alphabetically from left to right and then from top to bottom in the display language. So the control panel items are very often in a different place because Microsoft.

I did learn most of the control panel shortcuts because of that though, which still comes in handy sometimes. I even had a printed out cheat sheet for it.

The song is called “The ecstasy of gold” but the movie is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Still, that was an impressive description.

Edit: Seems my memory failed me and it’s not the ecstasy of gold, as others have pointed out.

A friend of mine has an outdoor cat. He didn’t adopt it or anything, it just started living in his garden. The cat is quite small, smaller than it should be, but it’s quite cuddly. However, the second you stop scratching her ears or cuddling her, she turns into a demon bitch from hell. She will hiss at you and even attack you, just because you stopped petting her. My friend is genuinely terrified of that cat.

As long as they don’t leave a quorum behind.

If you can see an F-22, you weren’t the target.

When you click on “What!?” it’s the same text but capitalized.

Looks like there has been a communication breakdown. He can ramble on all he wants but he won’t get a whole lotta love.

It is, but it’s self governing for the most part. Similar to the Faroe Islands.

The dresscode never changes when you work from home. Although when a video call is necessary, it requires a 50% change.

Those bears sure needed a lot of ammo
