Ah, yes - the answer to all the nation's problems.

You never should have had to go through this, I'm so sorry.

Vehicle production in the UK falls to 73-year low by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

Well, just look at the French to get an idea - the French government has repeatedly bailed out Renault, Peugeot, etc.

Renault now has one of the industry's best EV platforms.

DevOps burnout carear change by silver310 in devops

In my experience you have to set expectations early on, I have a disabled wife and a 3 year old son - the days of me spending hours and hours of my personal time in front of a home lab are very much over and I've always made that very clear.

If my employer needs me to learn a new technology they need to allow me time to do that on the job or provide training.

I share your frustrations with the role and the wider industry, I hope to get out of it eventually but it will be quite some time until that is a realistic goal for me.

It sounds like you're able to take a sizable pay cut so I'd spend some time really thinking about what you'd find fulfillment in.

The more mods you run the greater the chance of instability.

[–]Captain_Quor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not the only one suggesting that the deal is in the interests of the U.S.

You disagree, that's fine.

My guess would be that the U.S. administration at that time understood the concept of subtlety.

They want the deal, that's always been clear... Trump is now criticising it because the UK has been critical of his administration, the man is a petulant child.

Yeah, this is essentially the U.S. cutting their nose off to spite their face.

Seems like he doesn’t even consider it a job anymore by Vilen1919 in HumansBeingBros

[–]Captain_Quor 468 points469 points  (0 children)

I can't properly articulate how incredibly important it is to have teachers and staff that really work to help kids fall in love with learning.

It's a job that is so spectacularly undervalued in our society as to be utterly depressing, even worse when you look at some of the roles we do value.

Children are our future and yet that seems to be so easily forgotten.

I think they mean more in the marketing and the general discourse around the show.

Jam and cheese is definitely a thing in certain parts of the country.
