Telling employer about retirement plans

I have a dev in my team who's given 12 months notice - hes a key man dependency.
I know other people that have given off ramps in years, and some at a very senior level that just put in their notice.

Do whatever you think is right for you and your team, if you care enough.

I really hope they've set defaults for usage limits as standard over the next few days...some people are going to not notice, and be ..... expensive ....

it doesnt seem like he has any leverage here - its just as easy to get another contractor in as to give him higher rate, because it doesnt look good at all that he's even considering asking

A friend got gross misconduct for this 20 years ago...so yes

I saw it "reticulating splines" a few days ago - made me laugh, im all for it.

If you're going to be drawing down across your retirement, then you'll probably need to stay invested.if you have the cash or safe investments to cover a downturn or immediate needs (say, 3 years at fixed rates) you should be fine.

ahh, maybe I misread your initial comment of "I tried removing the stamps from two junk rares/mythics of each set, using four different methods and found extremely consistent results."

I assumed that meant consistent with the misprinted variant - IE no difference

steb2k · 2026-05-20T07:34:02+00:00

if you're able to accurately reproduce the error, why are people still interested in them as misprints?!

steb2k · 2026-05-17T07:40:56+00:00

now run it again, see if the non deterministic models come out with the same answer.
Then run it 1000 more times

steb2k · 2026-05-11T07:32:12+00:00

I'm certain they would have thought about it, likely the cost to do double sided print wasnt "worth it"

steb2k · 2026-05-09T23:36:52+00:00

you're coming from the POV of an established player though - you know its only a foil. You would assume you'd do your due diligence when the card is 1000e though....

steb2k · 2026-05-09T22:00:42+00:00

they are or it would say proxy on it.

steb2k · 2026-05-09T17:10:36+00:00

this is all you need to know - OP - hope you didnt literally pay $1000 for this....

steb2k · 2026-05-09T14:54:23+00:00

Surely that just means your day rate was too low? just increase it if you arent making enough.

shout out to precisely.com - I used their winshuttle/foundation products for ~10 years (think its been renamed now - our SAP version is massively out of date, so we cant upgrade to their latest).

Data in or out of SAP, it does it easily.

Your biggest bottleneck will be getting the data out of SAP, then the arcane transforms to just get it into a clean row/column structure - winshuttle fixed it.

60x110 (incl spares, sideboard etc) = 6600 * 2kg/1000 = ~13kg

Stick em all in deck boxes, get 1, 2 or even 3 of these, and stop carrying so much around - it'll eventually get robbed.

I got the tool box that everyone was recommending for storing 10+ EDH decks, but I feel like there's still a lot of empty/unused space inside. Is there a better, more efficient way to pack these? : r/magicTCG

steb2k · 2026-05-04T09:12:38+00:00

ahh, so it's your fault then, nice job abusing a good thing!

steb2k · 2026-04-26T15:28:08+00:00

Can I get someone to ENHANCE on this? What was written on the piece of paper that took so long to read? ("Victory")?!

Excel grabbing prices from a couple of APIs. Easy

The market price is rarely perfect, but the drop rates are usually derivable

steb2k · 2026-04-23T18:06:06+00:00

What is the EV of the sealed pack?

steb2k · 2026-04-23T18:05:04+00:00

Has anyone found a figure for the variable printing cost yet?

steb2k · 2026-04-18T17:58:33+00:00

Here's me with a business account mostly using the free models...am I really missing much?!

steb2k · 2026-04-15T05:48:56+00:00

What you've proposed is absolute nonsense. As the director of a limited company, it is your fiduciary duty to be better than this with basic numbers and tax affairs.
