This is IRL shitposting that should be commended by all, if true #melt
Also I hope the Johnson ice statue is one of those vodka luge ones, and the rest of the panel can do shots out of it after the debate's over
My favourite thing about the ice sculpture rumours is the amount of boiled piss it generates from the kind of Tory lickspittle who loves to dish it out, but cannot take it Image
Ahahaha the absolute melt

It still staggers me how many people don't take ventilation & airborne transmission seriously, despite what we now know, while overstating the very low, if any, risk of surface transmission

The other week a friend who works in (non-Covid related) healthcare talked a lot about the precautions - screens, alcohol rub stations, visors - they now have to take, and was dumbfounded when I told them there hasn't been a single documented case of surface-only transmission
Also on a call with my mum the other week, she complained about joggers not maintaining 2m distance in the park, then cheerfully remarked she took the bus home afterwards, and I almost screamed. Public health communication of the change in known risks has been abysmal

Feel a clarification is needed to this mildly viral tweet: the original article doesn't say if the number of columns in the file was too many, or the file itself was too large in size
The original article refers to size, and the solution - batching the files - is consistent with a filesize limit somewhere in the system (note: not necessarily Excel) being the issue Image
Apache's default file upload limit is 2MB. nginx's is 1MB. If upload was via a web service, it's a highly likely possibility whoever implemented the config without thinking to adjust it, and the problem has nothing to do with Excel

When I get old and senile enough to set up a Facebook nostalgia group about growing up in the late 90s/early 00s, every post will be basically: "Remember Winamp?"
Ah, found my old skin Image
Actually more seriously I think this was the one I had (or one very similar to it) Image

With the line about leaving early for an afternoon in the sun, this is an ad clearly aimed at bosses, not workers
In fact that entire ad could be flipped to be from the workers' point of view:

"Hearing an alarm" ⇔ "You're disciplined if you're a minute late"
"Watercooler conversations" ⇔ "Everyone is a malicious gossip"
"Proper bants" ⇔ "He's a harrassment lawsuit waiting to happen"
"Plastic plants" ⇔ "Everything living in our office dies"
"Accidentally replying all" ⇔ "Nothing accidental about it, passive aggression is the norm here"
"Leaving early for a cheeky afternoon" ⇔ "He made me come in on a weekend and I didn't even get time off in lieu"

The stark difference between under- and over-65s - is this a classic case of skin in the game, or do boomers just think turning up to a workplace is all that matters?
Another datapoint for the latter argument - the boomer trope that it's your fault if you're unemployed. All you have to do is pound the pavement, turn up at your future boss's office and hand over your CV with a firm handshake and the job is yours
Final datapoint in a mini-theory that boomers only care about whether you turn up, and quality of work does not matter: their never-ending obsession with reintroducing National Service
