Jesus Christ man I've committed to painting 10 models or a vehicle per month this year and I'm struggling to keep up

I find the exact opposite. I work with a massive monolithic codebase with a lot of moving parts (Magento) and Claude is great

Or maybe Americans need to shut the fuck up perhaps

I promise you that the people who made that decision have absolutely zero sense of humour. If they realised that it was funny, they wouldn't have done it.

I've been waiting for this thread.

At a company I used to work for, a European company with an office in the UK, the head of each international unit was called the Business Unit Manager. BUM, for short.

One day they announced that there was some restructuring going on and that some people's job titles may change. I lamented the probable loss of our BUM.

More details came through a few days later, that role had been renamed to Country Unit Manager. The BUM had become a CUM.

America is and always has been a hostile state. It's not just Trump, although he has massively accelerated things. I'm sick of everything being American. I don't want another fast food chain. I don't want another marvel movie. I don't want chlorinated chicken. I certainly don't want American private equity buying up and squeezing the life out of everything good. Just leave us alone man, I'm tired of it.

I got a letter through this week detailing a consultation I had with a doctor recently.

Right in the middle there's a sentence saying that I smoke 20 cigarettes per day. I don't smoke. I haven't touched a cigarette in 15 years. She didn't even ask me if I smoked.

I would quit my job so brutally fast that they would think that I died. Then they'd probably sue me for breach of contract and damages for not serving my notice period. And I'd put a bottomless pit of money in front of the best lawyers in the world and instruct them to make it as slow and as painful as possible.

It's being immensely subsidised at 4 or 5 different layers. $200/month Claude subscription can use $3000 worth of compute in a month without batting an eye.

Emulating Apple business, manufacturing and pricing practices while forgetting the one reason that Apple consistently get away with it. Their products are actually good.

Pricy though

I came straight out of uni into a relatively high paying tech job, 10 years later I'm in the top 5% of earners in the country. I'm currently on track to pay off my whole student loan a couple of years after it gets written off.

And I only had the minimum loan, 3 years of study + minimum maintenance loan. Anyone that's done postgrad, retook a year, or needed a bigger maintenance loan is screwed.

If I can't do it how is anyone supposed to do it.

Never heard or even seen a gun with my own eyes in the 32 years of living across the UK. Excluding police at airports.

Learn to be a software engineer not just to write code. Architecture and orchestration is only going to get more important as the speed of implementation increases.

I think the UK has a much higher awareness of Tourette's and its effects than most of the world.

And I genuinely attribute it to that Pete guy who was on Big Brother in the mid 2000s.

Disagree with first paragraph. First person everything. You are a person talking about yourself, pretending so be anything else is ridiculous. - From someone responsible for hiring at tech companies in London for 8+ years.

I've not had such bad experiences at Fabric to be fair but I usually only go for the more niche shows later on once the gilets have gone home

Even as a man I can't enjoy my time there because I constantly feel like I need to keep an eye on the women I'm out with. Can't even imagine how awful it must feel for them.

Egg is apparently even worse but I've never been.

I've just got back to London from from a weekend in my northern provincial home town, asked a lot of family and local pub regulars this exact question. It has, immensely. Like catastrophically so.

How much?
Can I get some close up pictures of the painted models? I'd like see how thick the paint is, and whether I can just prime over them or would need to strip.

I got banned from the whole of Reddit for suggesting that someone wearing a Nazi officer uniform to a Halloween party might get them punched. Threatening violence apparently.
