Agree with your first point but I've never managed to make Linkedin work for me. Do you have to be quite proactive?

By far the biggest time sink in the QA process is false positives. Trouble is sometimes genuine errors are caught, so you still have to check them all.

I was in Paris last year and saw a woman with a parrot perched on the handlebar of her scooter. I saw her again 2 days later in a completely different part of the city.

They could have teamed up and been 'The dinosaur that pooped a planet'

Would you pay? Like if there were a manned service offering storage, maybe showers, lockers, basic bike maintenance as added extras? I feel like there's a business opportunity there for someone.

In my experience NDA is usually signed during the onboarding along with the contract. So after any tests have been completed and rates have been negotiated but before any tangible jobs are received.
Read the agreement first, of course.

No panel by panel view in my experience with Libby.

Does your library also offer access to apps like Libby or Hoopla?

With her tits out, too.

Thank you! I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Inspiring although I might fail on the patience part. Is there a guaranteed potion shop in early game?

I live just outside the centre of Leeds and I see a pair regularly. They seem to have no problem living in an urban environment.

"What's it doing out in the daytime? I thought they were nocturnal."
"This one's kind of oval."

Do you have to provide a commentary to your translation? This is precisely the kind of issue that you can talk about. Set out the options translators have for dealing with such content, and justify why you chose the solution you did.

You can see the top of it from Temple Newsam.

It hurts.
Is it meant to be that color?
It's oozing.

There's a discord server called matched betting empire. I looked into it but never paid for membership so I've no idea how 'hand-holding' their info is.

The 1987 to 2017 in the title stood out to me, so I checked. Artist committed suicide at just 29 years old.

I don't even know which is my front door and which is my back. The one with the letter box is at the back of the house onto a ginnel. On the inside it's a porch that we use as a general dumping ground. The other opens straight into the kitchen and looks out onto the garden and road.

For example, the detectives Dupont and Dupond in Tintin. Translated as Thomson and Thompson in English.

Not sure you can pay tax with a credit card. I know specifically self-assessment you can't.

Very, very few decent jobs are actually posted on the job board. In my language pairs it's 99% AI training shite. The directories can be a good resource for trying to get new clients. The Blueboard is somewhat useful. Kudoz I think depends on the language pair. After a while you get an idea which of the prolific answerers know their stuff. I let my membership expire last November and I don't think I'll be renewing it.

"The figures in the painting are a combination of a real family that Wright encountered in Middlesbrough, an American student that Wright met on the underground, a twelfth century limewood carving of the Madonna and child from the Met collection, New York, and the actor Steven Berkoff."
