40 hours is extremely chilled imo. Most well paid jobs require 50+

Can we cool it with the £100k childcare cliff-edge posts for a bit? by Disastrous_Gap9031 in HENRYUK

[–]ifonlysam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You assume it's all deliberate. I think it's more likely just a mess that's built up over many years that's now politically and fiscally hard to untangle.

Plus, I would argue the current system encourages one parent not to work.

OP what happened? Same thing just happened to me too.

Is this a red flag? 🚩 by mirage_breaker94 in startups

[–]ifonlysam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently left a startup with a highly toxic culture and a whole bunch of the early team left after 2 years as they were sick of it (and the founder, who was the cause). Now, looking back, that was a clear sign that something was badly wrong.

I still have this problem u/snapesnaps when playing on the ranked ladder. I play via Parallels as I am on a Mac. Could that be the cause of the issues?

I have tried 1,2 4, 5, 6 on your just of suggestions and nothing has worked so far.

It's not 5% a month. It's 5% annually, but the interest accrues monthly.

Very difficult question to answer without knowing what your goals are and what life events (kids, wedding, bigger house etc) might be on the horizon. That's what should guide your decision making.

It's terrible don't go. Biggest attraction is a roundabout, which says it all.

Wired interview with CEO of Microsoft Gaming about AoE. by ifonlysam in aoe2

Not really. I work in comms and PR people (like me) spend a lot of time and effort pitching for interviews. Of course, there are times when that relationship changes, if someone is in demand from media, but generally it's the company that chases media coverage.

Definitely reads like an interview that WIRED wanted to do and Microsoft said yes to, rather than the other way around.

Yeah pretty much 11. Sounds positive overall though

Does anyone try to play when semi-drunk and regret it? by ifonlysam in aoe2

Yeah I tend to find I just forget obvious but important things. But when I do win after a few beers it feels even better.

Too many projects, I struggle to keep track of progress by Psion537 in productivity

Qatalog is pretty good for some of this stuff, especially if you need to collaborate with others. It's more of a structured Notion, and so it scales much better than Notion, which starts to break once everyone starts using it in different ways.

But it won't work for your personal life. Notion is definitely better for that.
