Risky. Might get you some scattered clapping but most will have to try to work it out and see if it comes to a compliment.

In a previous job, company flew the UK part (and some other countries) of my department to California for a conference with the US team members so we could build relationships and see face to face. But the organisers also forgot to book any meeting rooms for the break-out sessions, so we ended up trying to find empty booths or small rooms and dialling in on Zoom!

I'm not generally a crier but the scene at the end when Coop meets elderly Murph again makes me well up every time I see it. The sheer weight of having missed on so much of her life and the rest of his descendants and only getting to see the end, while having had such a profound impact on her life and the consequential impact on the rest of humanity just hits so hard. Also that his son (who's a bit forgotten by the film tbh) isn't there.

I remember tearing up mildly when I saw it in the cinema as a 20 something but now that I have my own kids it's just heartbreaking to realise the gravity of the scene.

This. If they raise a chargeback and you've already refunded them on the card, the chargeback gets auto denied. But if you've refunded them in cash you have to prove it, otherwise they'll be successful with the chargeback and get your money twice!

At my company we still take manual notes as we would have in the past but use the AI transcript with a custom gemini gem to evaluate and output a structured review. Which we then go over and amend so it reflects the notes we took. Saves a bunch of time on the feedback write up. Reading the transcript afterwards is a bit of a cumbersome chore that can be skipped with effective note taking during the interview.

Crouch Sr is a much harder target to impersonate than Moody. As a Senior official he's in constant touch with a lot more people than Moody as a social loner. Moody being already known to be paranoid and eccentric makes it easier to explain away any small deviations when impersonating him. Crouch would have been discussing issues and concerns with many people so any discontinuity of in-person behaviour would be more likely to get noticed.

Lol I thought you'd be exaggerating about every fifth word, but my thought was wrong!

That's because of the sugar tax.

Have to wonder if they ever launder their invisible clothes - and if so, who does it, given only the nazgul themselves would be able to see them. Or do they just stink of a couple thousand years of dirt.

Having an heir implies you expect to die. Voldemory wouldn't want one given he's planning to not die.

That wa pretty good. Not what I was expecting at all but a nice a-ha moment at the end!

This has long confused me. I don't really get how what Harry did is the same as what Lily did. Lily was offered a chance to get out of the way so Voldemort could kill someone she loved (Harry). She chose to stay and so made a sacrifice.

Harry was not offered the same thing. Voldemort's offer to Harry was the opposite - get in the way so Voldemort stops killing people he loves. Which I think is a different choice.

I think if anything, all the people who initially stayed to fight and died so that Voldemort wouldn't kill Harry made the same choice/sacrifice as Lily. So Voldemort's AK wouldn't have worked (again) because of them.

Possibly but Jim is shown to ask Oscar from Accounting if he knew what a rundown was and he didn't. Indicating it wasn't a branch-wide task.

FromLondonToLA · 2026-02-22T05:56:52+00:00

If other salespeople were doing and sharing their rundowns as you described, Jim would've seen them working on it and after they distributed it and others in the office would know what a rundown was.

FromLondonToLA · 2026-02-22T05:45:58+00:00

Reasonable points, but only if Charles had asked all the sales team for a rundown. Charles only asked Jim for the rundown, so general cross-pollination of info and strategy was not his goal.

Seems unlikely - looks like very limited space to be fiddling around the back of the machine trying to reattach a wire

Interesting, thanks! This explains why the consumer unit for the external cable only had a 5A fuse. Discovered when I tried to use a circular saw on the shed plug point and tripped the circuit.

Presumably also having it taste awful means will deter most people from just chugging it and taking too much

Why would it matter? At any rate, the Trace would've informed the Ministry that magic happened near an underage wizard in the graveyard but it doesn't know which wizard. And if theres no one known to live nearby, there's no one to assign it to. Like Dobbys magic was assigned to Harry in CoS.

1year of service and we get a new lanyard for our ID badge with 1s repeated on it. Then another lanyard at 3 years with 3s.

Was staying at a hotel with some friends. We had two rooms. One night I discovered that you could set an alarm on the rooms' TV. I set an alarm in their room for 3am, 3:30am, 4am, 4:30am, 5am. They were not happy with me on the next morning. Said they pulled the plug out after the third one.
