Yeah, those kinds of people are horrible to work with. I know you figured out how to make this work thirty years ago, but they built it into the program twenty years ago.

he had the guts to tell me I have to talk to him

I’ve worked with people who say they are all work and no talk. Their work was generally worse than others because they wouldn’t stop to coordinate with others while they worked and they should have. There were plenty of times they would make decisions when they should have talked to others, then those decisions needed to be backtracked because those decisions were wrong on the context of the project, costing time and money. They also end up being hard to work with because they devolve into screaming matches with other staff whenever there needed to be a discussion on his to proceed.

It ended up being a problem for their advancement because I couldn’t trust them in a leadership position they asked for when they wouldn’t show any leadership equivalent to their job’s roles and responsibilities.

Whenever I’ve given the direction “you need to talk to others”, it isn’t about talking to others about their day, but to talk to them about their work because their work is uncoordinated.

You mean electromagnetism? We use electromagnetism all the time. That’s how we get electric motors.

It isn’t meant to be consistent; it is meant to enforce the views of the church.

I mentioned Linux.

Exactly. There is a community set up, but posts are daily at best with only a few comments.

Outside of Communism, Linux, and Star Trek, there isn’t that much.

Most people aren’t here because of what this place is, but what other places aren’t.

I’d like to see answers to this question, but the people on Lemmy who would have the most knowledge of this aren’t going to be hanging out in .world.

Brotato?

I loved the season opener. It was hilarious having actual lawyers judge how bad it was and Mommy Standards and Practices was well done.

The problem is that there isn’t a Dropout community and the equivalent Nebula community is rather dead.

The issue here is what to do when you have multiple levels of government. One government entity may be against a policy, but a larger government entity which includes the smaller entity may be for a policy.

This case is regarding police funding, but this could apply to school or welfare programs as well.

First, Camille was more “experienced” compared to Diana, and at the time that taint wasn’t seen being fit for a queen mother. There was also never a time when they were both single, leading to possible scandal as one would need to leave their partner for the other.

Second, the question never really was asked until Charles and Diana’s marriage was falling apart. This was a major black eye for the royal family and marrying a divorced spouse had caused a king to resign in Elizabeth’s lifetime, making her very sensitive to the perception of divorce in the public eye.

I’ve run some very small ones. A large one would feel like running a sewage treatment plant.

Unless the existing staff break down and can’t do enough work to keep the place running, management don’t care.

They’re greedy, not stupid.

That’s the 10th commandment.

Don’t you understand, the Fediverse is serious business!

Only speaking to what I know:

Cuba - It will be a pain for you to handle the paperwork. As an American, you have to pick only one of right reasons to go to Cuba and going on vacation isn’t one of them. You also can’t go to fancy hotel since they are owned by the Cuban state and the USA embargo means you can’t trade with the government directly. You also need to keep all receipts for a few years.

Puerto Rico - Pretty stable as a place to visit, especially in touristy areas.

Turkey - Istanbul is a great place to visit and it is easy to get around. I also hear the beaches are great. Only possible issue is that Turkey is rather hilly and I don’t know if your mom can handle the hills.

Scotland - Nice place to visit, but you aren’t going to be going to visit any beaches. Also, you’ll likely be drinking in front of your mother.

Portugal - Nice place to visit. Very hilly. The area is also adjusting to its tourist demand.

According to the US military, it takes 64 weeks to learn Japanese as a native English speaker as it would take 26 to learn Spanish as a native English speaker.

Say what you want about the US military, but they likely have a lot of data in learning how long it takes for native English speakers to learn other languages.
