That’s true but I found that nothing was really so urgent that it particularly mattered. If it did, there should be a 24 hour contingency anyway.
I guess the logic is, and I don’t agree, that people will burn out through the day and spend the last couple hours phoning it in. That’s not my experience of what actually happens but I think that’s what some people think.
I worked a 4 day week for years (4*10 hours) with my old employer and it was fantastic. And I can say for sure that it didn’t affect productivity for me or my team.
I don’t have kids but several of my colleagues did and it was a game changer for them. Especially the one whose partner worked for the same organisation, who could sync it up to save an absolute fortune on childcare (which is absurdly expensive here).
Another colleague was a single mother and had the choice to choose which days she did each week, meaning she could do more with her child and make it to events and such. I have no doubt that that will have a long term positive impact on her son too.
For me as a childless person I could use 2 days of annual leave to get 5 days off straight. £40 return ticket to Spain or Italy, a cheap hotel, and you can have a lovely little holiday any time of year.
I had to leave for unrelated personal reasons but that shift pattern was glorious. No less work got done and everyone was happier. And it turns out - surprise surprise - when your staff are happy they produce better work.
It’s such a no brainer. But I won’t get excited, because a certain generation seems to take any improvement for the younger generation as some kind of personal attack.
I think this tips it over the edge for me to switch to Firefox
Would it be worth reaching out to them on social media? Something like this would be great PR for them.
Not including work devices - probably my old university files. I intentionally wrote about topics relevant to the career I wanted (which I now have) and they’re genuinely useful for going back and referring to.
Fair enough. Well hopefully it helps some Europeans out! I only noticed it by accident because I sit by the back toilets due to IBS anyway.
Edit: I’ve done this with easyJet, Wizzair and Vueling - for reference
I always buy an aisle seat so I can stretch my legs and get up whenever I need.
I’ve also learned that most airlines (at least here in Europe) fill their seats from the front back. So if you sit near the back and keep an eye on the back row, sometimes it’s completely unoccupied. In which case I move there and can practically lie down.
Eh. I find it difficult to have any sympathy for Valve. Sounds like it was only a matter of time before someone did this. If anything this is just free marketing.
In fairness, this isn’t massively new and I was taught similar back when I was in school. It was genuinely a really good life skill to teach to kids and it was politically neutral.
I went to a state school in the UK and remember being taught media literacy, this would’ve been just over 10 years ago now. I don’t know if it was part of the curriculum or just something they decided to add (while it was a state school, it was a very good one in a wealthy area).
We were told to read headlines and guess what the story was about, then we were shown a neutral article that objectively described what happened to highlight how misleading the headlines and pictures were. Among other things, but that sticks out in my mind.
I honestly think it was a fantastic life skill to teach.
It was neither the stabbing nor the vigil.
It’s uneducated white thugs who have been told for years that immigrants and Muslims are the reason they’re struggling.
I do. Comments like his are actively contributing towards the racist violent disorder taking place right now. It’s disgusting.

May one shoelace be permanently tighter than the other just enough to be annoying.
I’m not in an appropriate position mentally for a relationship. One day I want to settle down and do the whole wife/kids thing but now’s not the time to get into anything.
Yeah I’m potentially moving abroad next year and will have to find a home for her, and I’m cautious to give her to certain people for that reason.
As an outsider looking in, I’ve seen a lot of footage of rallies and events (on both sides) that are just absolutely crazy to me. Almost dystopian. People with painted faces, all kinds of merch, hollering and shouting and cheering like it’s the X Factor or a rock concert or something. You see people being interviewed outside the events and it’s like a festival in the background. It’s really, really bizarre. We have problems with our politics here too but not like that. I can’t believe that all of those people are ACTUALLY that passionate about any policies themselves, it’s just vague culture wars nonsense with a bizarre personality contest as a proxy for it.
As I say, I’m not trying to act superior. My country has its share of problems too, just a very different sort.
