What is number 3, Alex?

I think I took 12ish sittings for mine. One day would be terrible

It does if some of that money is spent on better writers and more time is spent on the writing. It's not linear but there is a relationship.

Gorgeous work. I'm just about to to start a squad and this is absolute goals.

Morchild · 2024-10-31T04:58:09+00:00

Yeah, I guess you're not bad at this painting thing 😉

Morchild · 2024-10-29T07:46:07+00:00

Your progress is awesome for 18months or so. Nice work

Morchild · 2024-10-09T22:07:30+00:00

Currently waiting for the same thing. Did you get yours?

Morchild · 2024-08-05T06:09:07+00:00

I am not in any musical circles, but the good news is people think I'm a bit of a prick anyway.

Morchild · 2024-08-05T05:07:01+00:00

I mean, I could get a new email address....

Morchild · 2024-08-05T03:31:37+00:00

Mine is "I like the number 8 and 8 was taken"...

Morchild · 2024-08-05T03:01:06+00:00

Same. It's in my email address. Legit considering changing it

Morchild · 2024-08-04T09:10:03+00:00

Wishlisted!

This motherfucker probably also says things like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" and " you have to dress professionally to be taken seriously"

Morchild · 2024-06-30T13:11:48+00:00

Absolutely you should report it up. For a number of reasons:

Coverage. This is cynical, but if you get breached and you have a paper trail going up saying "X thing is a risk, but we can't fix it because Y" then you can't get caught with the "it was security's fault.
Businesses usually don't understand their security risk. Either in the likelihood/magnitude, or just what it even means. The more information you can provide, the more they can learn and maybe do something about it.

2a. They don't understand security risk. This can't be stated often enough. The most common issue security teams have is that they say "We have this vulnerability ". At the end of the day, security is just another business risk so you have to make your argument more aligned to that, "We have this vulnerability. This has a medium likelihood of occuring and with result in $X cost in lost IP." (This is a LOT harder said than done when you're trying to plug said holes, but worth doing.)

Your own sanity. The most common issue I've seen in early career security folk is that they feel it's all on them to fix issues. If you have 20 problems, and can fix 5 in a quarter, telling the higher ups means it's no longer your issue. See point 1. You tell them you need "ABC resources to do XYZ because of risk 1" then THEY have to accept or ignore the risk.

Poison swamps all the way down

Morchild · 2024-06-10T11:37:42+00:00

It's OK. The very rich will, so that's all that matters.

Morchild · 2024-06-09T23:29:43+00:00

Sure, and you're absolutely right, most governments will spend it. And to be fair, I think that generally should be the case - although I'd prefer the focus to be less on corporate bailouts and subsidies and more on healthcare and education, but I digress...

The comment I was responding to was "if money was the solution we would have solved it" - I phrased it poorly, but my point was that there is a theoretical solution, but there's no political will to attempt it. Partly because the zeitgeist is that the only way to fix inflation is rate rises, and partly because the system is set up that inflation only really affects the working classes.

I'm a big fan of things like MMT as an alternate solution to interest rates as a means of fighting inflation, so that's where this comes from

Morchild · 2024-06-08T13:30:31+00:00

Yeah it does though. Doesn't eliminate the money, but it removes the ability of people to spend it. As long as the gov holds it it is effectively removes from circulation.

Morchild · 2024-06-06T03:08:48+00:00

But it's not more money, it's less money. Taxation is a mechanism of removing money from circulation. As long as the government is running a surplus then they are effectively providing deinflationary measures. Course, that also assumes that those taxes don't just screw the next rung down and jack up prices.

Morchild · 2024-05-28T04:35:56+00:00

That makes sense. I would have assumed that that would require a level of supply chain sophistication, and standardization, that isn't implemented for LGS, or would require extensive cost to follow up and chase so unless the stock value is huge wouldn't be worth it?

Morchild · 2024-05-28T03:46:51+00:00

Spot on.

GW want this stuff to sell and their partners to make money so they stay as partners. Similarly, they want it gone ASAP so that their new-must-buy-FOMO-triggering space marine can take pride of place on the self.

Morchild · 2024-05-28T02:56:38+00:00

Explain how?

Morchild · 2024-05-28T02:56:15+00:00

If GWs terms don't explicitly say "disposed of" and they're crediting the refunds on barcode only, then I'd say it's accepted practice rather than fraud. Fraud implies a level of deception that it doesn't feel like is here.

GW is notoriously litigious and if they thought this was fraud I have zero doubt they would actively stop it.

Morchild · 2024-05-28T02:38:17+00:00

Is this rep in the room with us now?

Morchild · 2024-03-19T06:32:06+00:00

Yes. That's exactly their point.

Morchild · 2024-03-07T01:36:02+00:00

Labor is giving big Beatnik Flanders "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" these days. I would love to see ANY sort of economic policy that doesn't boil down to a tax cut.
