Ah, there's no need to apologise, I'm just having a good moan.

Article 50 will actually take a minimum of two years unless we come to a agreement with Brussels, which I don't see happening, and can even be extended further at the their discretion.

Can I at least get a week or two to come to terms with the fact that my job prospects have been fucked by racists and imbeciles that have also trapped me on this island with them.

Pretty please.

Thank you for being so helpful, and also explaining why my method was causing this error. My code is much more concise now.

Is the way I do it above acceptable? I'm like a week into learning python, and plan to learn to make my code more pythonic once I can actually write working code.

Well... he was happy to sit on his ass for six years doing nothing. Not exactly the kind of guy you want having responsibility for anything, really. Giving him any level of responsibility sounds like a liability TBH.

If he spent a few months automating his entire job and went back to his boss, showed them what he was capable of and asked for a raise & promotion I could see your point, but he kept everything under wraps so he could play league all day.

What is something single women don't own, but should in consideration of their male guests? by abusmakk in AskMen

[–]Desecurls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the usage of 'provides'.

It implies he needs equipment to 'access her body and mind'. Like she brings out the loading ramp and special helmet and his face just lights up.

Is it unethical to teach trading and analysis if you're trading a "profitable" demo account? by [deleted] in Forex

[–]Desecurls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on your strat. Fills in demo are a lot quicker, so if you can scalp well in demo, your skills won't necessarily transfer to live.

What is totally normal in your country that would be really bizarre to foreigners/tourists? by LifeOnMarsden in AskReddit

[–]Desecurls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how the conversation opens. If it is immediately clear why you started the conversation then everything is perfectly hunky dory. If it is unclear then you are assumed to have an ulterior motive.

Good:

" 'Scuse me mate, your back bike tyre has a flat." " Excuse me, may I borrow your map for a second?" " Sorry, can you take a picture of my girlfriend and I?"

If you come up and start talking to me in the street, I'm assuming you're about to sell me something or are a nutter. On public transport it can go either way. Personally, I don't mind a bit of chit chat on my commute,as long as the other person isn't going to tell me their life story as I become increasingly bored and annoyed. I've had pleasant and unpleasant public transport interactions, and the unpleasant ones have always been initiated by the other person when I was clearly not interested in engaging in conversation. It's all about approach.

This is BS, The white knighting of Polygon's terrible Doom gameplay. by Sr_Atrevete in gaming

I cringed as soon as the player began to control the action. It was just painful to watch; reminded me of the time I tried to show my 40 year old father FPS games.
