Wow, I had to look that one up. Had never heard of it.

This looks promising. I’m in Ireland - we’re always the last to get these (too small a country!)

One to keep an eye on - thanks for that.

I wish Europe had its own payment system (that’s widely accepted). There are a few, but tend to be only at a national level.

I haven’t but now that I know, I’ll definitely check it out - thanks

Oh that would be sooooo good!!

Exactly my feelings.

Ebooks are so convenient but I buy paper or hardback for historical and biographies (they usually contain maps, diagrams and pictures which are more easily referenced and viewed in real life).

He probably thinks Parmigiano Reggiano is a new extreme leftist Democratic candidate for mayor of NYC

Currently reading Consider Phlebus. Read the entire series years ago but thought it was worth re-read. Just as good as my first time!

He’s an idiot, or surrounded by idiots. Hard to say which at this stage

If it was 52 Jews, we’d never heard the end of it. Fuck Israel. It’s lost it’s right to be a country

Is this a new leaked chat between Hegseth and Trump? I’m confused!

The RTO mandate is being made by management - people with usually 15+ years experience or more.

The people most affected are these RTO mandates are people who have only known hybrid or WFH, people with <6 years work experience.

This is a culture clash. Mgmt can’t manage without seeing people actually working.

Numerous studies have shown no significant productivity improvement by working in the office.

True :-) Unfortunately

What’s needed is a hurricane to hit Mar a Largo and flatten it. I’d bet FEMA would be resurrected the next day.

Go old school. The old internet was the local public library. The high street will thrive with new found customers. All the tech bros will need to find another sink for their funds - maybe they’ll take up philanthropy. I’m failing to see a downside here :-)

Collectively, you voted for this fascist. As a non-USian, I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the drama unfold. Very similar to watching the Brexit debacle here in Europe.

So this is what freedom looks like? Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed? Probably sitting in the parents basement surfing the net for manga.

But it’s even worse than that. The US has to rollover about 9 trillion of debt in 2025. Someone has to buy these bonds and if Japan or China are reluctant, it likely means higher interest rates to be offered in order to secure the sale.
