Not literally nothing. A good few people were arrested and over a billion dollars was recovered as a result. Germany issued an arrest warrant, but Panama doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Germany, and refused to hand them over because the owners of the law firm that facilitated the tax evasion held Panamanian passports. There was however a few US Citizens who were indicted on tax fraud charges and thrown in prison for it.

That depends on the local laws in place. For example, under the Working Time Regulations 1998 (in the UK), the firm is legally required to ensure all workers take their statutory days off. “Unlimited PTO” doesn’t mean anything because it’s a legal requirement that the workers take those days. You have a bit of say on when the worker takes those days, but you risk the HMRC coming after you if your workers don’t take their holiday.

Soooo no, in some countries Unlimited PTO is a bit less of a scam, because you still get your statutory holiday anyway, so anything after that is a bonus.

There was once a QA tester in my last job that had to be taken aside by a manager at the end of the year and told “You haven’t been taking any leave this year. You will use those days you’ve accrued before the end of the year or both you and I are in big trouble. This is not a request, you are going on holiday!”

No doubt they’ll do what they did last time and just force her to watch Oct 7th footage and go “…Are you… Are you convinced yet? Please be convinced… Please”

Spiritfarer, though it’s more crying than drinking. It took playing the game alongside my best friend to get me to finish it, because I cried at the first spirit and couldn’t continue on my own.

It didn’t help that my grandma died right as I started playing the game with my friend, and I was beating myself up for missing that last phone call.

It’s not drywall, it’s either brick or concrete covered by plaster.

There’s a painting of Hobbiton that has been sat in my living room for two years because I dare not hang it up for fear of doing it wrong. Last time I tried to hang anything up (a clock in that case) the plaster just came off the wall around it and I had to pay to get it fixed. That was with just a hammer and a hook! I’m not getting a drill!

They still have to make that money back somehow though. They can’t just put a load of investment down on AI, make zero money off it (or worse, less than zero) and then expect everything to be fine with the existing profits. They need to raise revenue from existing streams to cover for the loss they just incurred by doing AI. That, or cut costs, which means layoffs, which means people have less money, meaning they spend less money, which means businesses make less money, so they do layoffs, and so on and so on leading to a recession.

…So what learning styles are there?

According to the Prose Edda, Odin decides exactly which people are going to die in battle that day, and then brings them all to Valhalla… Which contradicts other accounts somewhat. Then again a lot of old Norse mythology has been so polluted by Christianity that who knows what was originally Norse and what was changed later?

In some accounts, you don’t even need to die in battle. Odin just thinks “I need that guy on my team” and takes you.

Valhalla isn’t a reward though, it’s a hell for those that don’t enjoy battle. Here’s what happens in Valhalla:

• You equip your armor and weapons
• You walk out into the courtyard
• You kill eachother
• You are resurrected
• You go to dinner
• You equip your armor and weapons
• You walk out into the courtyard
• You kill eachother

etc. etc.

It is NOT a reward. Valhalla is not heaven, it is a place that Odin puts his very specific chosen warriors that died a violent death in battle. Whether you go to Valhalla doesn’t depend on you being either a good or bad person, only how you died. Odin himself will even actively intervene and make sure you lose your fight and die in battle, just because he wants you as one of his Einherjar.

Valhalla being portrayed as this big reward for good people is a bastardised version brought in by Christians.

I’ll listen to it, it doesn’t mean I’ll like it. If you can tell me what you like about it, maybe I’ll also like it.

I mean… It kinda was. Netanyahu deliberately stalled peace talks because he wanted Trump in power and he knew that killing Palestinians only hurt Kamala politically, it never hurt Trump because his voters don’t give a shit.

The price of the spell to undo the invisibility has now gone up to 100,000 gold.

If there’s one thing the UK is good at, it’s making rich people feel important. It’s how all those Russian oligarchs feel so comfortable in London, comfortable enough to spill their secrets. Nobody suspects the butler, nobody suspects that behind the pomp and ceremony there’s a knife waiting for you.

Trump likes to be flattered, so flatter him, and then get as much cash out of the US as possible! $150bn investment so far as a result of this little bit of pageantry, since all those tech companies are now dancing to Trump’s tune.

My workplace doesn’t allow Bitwarden because ‘it’s not secure’.

British summer is nice if you have air conditoning, otherwise it’s hell. British winter is nice for exactly 24hrs if it ever snows. You know that first 24hrs when it’s deathly silent at night because the snow is deadening all the sounds, and when you get up in the morning and the snow is still fluffy? That’s when British Winter is good. The rest of the time, the snow melts but not enough so it just turns to ice, you’re slipping everywhere, it’s freezing cold and extremely wet so you’re just completely soaked at all times.

Autumn and Spring don’t exist. You have Cold, Hot and Overcast.

A real “API Genius” would be complaining that your API doesn’t include HATEOAS, even though I’ve never once seen an API be used in that way, and few of the big tech APIs actually use it even though they call their APIs RESTful.
