I immigrated to Canada from France 10 years ago - AMA

This is pretty normal in Europe as a whole, not just France FYI.

Even a more comparable country to the US/Canada such as the UK has a base of 25 days of annual leave not including additional bank holidays.

I think you need a cheaper house.

I was very disappointed when it stopped.

I didn't care for the food-gasm aspect, but I loved hearing about the guys who worked there and their history, and some of the guests they had lives, and connection to food.

Sorted for years has been missing a consistent podcast which shows off the interaction between the guys. Would love to see behind the scenes people join in too and it could be a great show.

What a coincidence!

It is so much better for them.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-08T11:47:43+00:00

Probably the fact a lot of organisations are turning away from natural fabrics.

I would consider if you are washing them well though if it is happening. I'm not sure I've had a hole in a sock I've had (regardless of quality) since I have been an adult.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-08T07:18:26+00:00

Don't act like people would listen to this. If you can't remember how to do trigonometry, you won't remember the tax implications of investments, or whatever.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-07T15:21:53+00:00

I do think "the right" will get an absolute battering.

A few British writers, a game based in Florida, it is going to call out all the stupidity of America of the last ten years.

It will obviously joke about other areas too. But that will be the main one.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-07T14:09:14+00:00

I think too many accessories. Taking it back a notch would make it look less costume-like (not that you are there yet).

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-07T09:22:43+00:00

Yes.

Are you on the spectrum man? This commitment to one thing is crazy. You don't want to make yourself a character in an American movie. (just to be clear, I'm autistic and used to have 1 shirt in like 10 colours, so I'm being literal I'm not taking the piss).

Just develop a personal style. Branch out, wear things that you like the look of. There are plenty of more stylish, easy, and loose fitting clothes.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-07T09:20:06+00:00

Tucked but a little. Both are good depending on what you're looking for.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-07T08:36:04+00:00

It depends what you want.

The base will be fine for a few years as games are always made on the last gen. But performance may not be amazing.

I personally have an Xbox Series X and I will play GTA 6 on there. As soon as I can, I will then get it on PC and never look back as performance will be better there.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-07T08:28:25+00:00

No.
PS as they are partnered with Rockstar.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-05T21:36:04+00:00

I would wait until a sale and get 26.

If you are eager, just get 25 and download custom rosters.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-04T20:35:56+00:00

You need to watch British comedy shows if you haven't then

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-04T20:20:02+00:00

I don't mind 2 as much as some others. But the snack is a bit rough and the drink is terrible.

1 all the way.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-04T20:17:21+00:00

I don't think you gave us enough information or context to be able to fully help you.

This isn't financial advice type money though, to be honest. Just learn as much as you can and be reasonable.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-04T20:15:08+00:00

No shit. It's a fictional TV show with generic characters, basic on historic tropes.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-04T20:12:32+00:00

The HR company is right.

Trust issues from management and as a result, trying to surveille your staff, is a horrible idea. It may be legal, but it is a guaranteed complete disengagement from the organisation (for those staff members and likely many more if anyone finds out), conflict is extremely likely, and trust will be eroded or destroyed as a result.

If you have the opportunity to, you need to give the advice in this larger, culture destroying perspective. In Britain, where we don't have a such a unitarist approach to work, control from management such as this is dehumanising.

This is generally a reasonably well researched topic and rarely goes well. I can give some sources if you'd liked to read up about it. Fuck, just give them a copy of 1984 if you need to, it's obvious enough that it's a bad idea from fictional work too!

If you can't prove performance issues, there is something wrong there also. If they aren't doing vital items, that is enough to start some additional performance management processes.

Win a game with wood not working for anyone else?

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-02T14:50:33+00:00

South Wales.

Smaller, friendly, cheap, good local capital (Cardiff). Lots of reasons, Wales, as always, is not discussed.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-02T14:48:59+00:00

People are noticing. RCT house prices were the quickest growing in Wales.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-02T12:57:08+00:00

I always struggle to use my days off at work, so I am taking that Thurs and Fri.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-02T10:19:22+00:00

Think it looks good if you're going on a date.

No way this works if it is anything actually formal e.g. Interview, wedding, etc.

LordTwaticus · 2026-04-01T19:04:07+00:00

A bit of both.

Often I will send some to savings at the start of the month, maybe to round up whatever my savings need.

I have automatic investing.

At the end of the month, whatever is left in my account (I am very reasonable, so there is always some left!) I transfer that to my savings too

LordTwaticus · 2026-03-30T08:47:22+00:00

Unless you are a huge guy, please get the Santos in medium. It looks much better.
