It's good to know that in France, there is a required number of "working years" next to the retirement age. So for many people 64 is already not an option as they went to university for example. I often hear people argue that the French shouldn't complain because in country X it's age Y, but for a lot of French it's already Y or >Y (I don't know the exact details though as I'm not French, but have family there. So feel free to add or correct me)

About 360 million years ago, trees had evolved lignin and cellulose, allowing them to get big. However, no bacteria that could digest these woody substances had yet evolved. In fact, those bacteria would take another 60 million years to arrive. All this time huge trees kept growing, crashing into the swampy ground, and piling up on top of uncounted other trees, getting buried deeper and deeper into the ground. Over millions of years, subjected to the heat and pressure of deep burial, the carbon in these trees was converted into the fossil fuels we know and love today – coal, oil, and natural gas. All the fossil fuels we use were produced during this 60-million year period.

Remember kids; assless chaps don't exist, it's just chaps. If they had asses, they'd be pants!

I was talking to a friend about this who never heard of synesthesia, and though I was messing with him. I challenged him to write 50 random words on a piece of paper to which I would add colors. He took the paper, and a month or so later he read each word, to which I was able to flawlessly respond with the corresponding color. He did my chores for that week (we were roommates at that time).

That's basically the only time it somewhat benifitted me. The rest of the time it's people asking what color their names are whenever the topic comes up :)

I have color-grapheme synesthesia. I can use this super power to.. Uhmm.. It won me a bet once? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapheme%E2%80%93color_synesthesia

Ordered a subway sandwich, ate the whole thing, now in regret..

I make my own hotsauces and chili salsa's. You can go crazy with recipes, while it can't really go wrong. I also give them to friends who love them.

A friend of mine makes his own ciders (apple or pear). Very cheap to make with minimal investment. Easy to learn, hard to master.

I've been looking into making cheese, which apparently is also easy to do, and only requires some special cloth so low investment too.

If you're not into food/drinks; my gf crochets and knits. She learned it from youtube, and can make some cool stuff!

As someone that works a lot with high-frequency sensor data, we need the microseconds too!! Use this one: %Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S.%f

Ik was ze helemaal vergeten, maar vroeger had je Speedy's! Dat waren soort van frambozenraketjes als ik het me goed herinner..

Edit: doe mij trouwens maar een perenijsje

Pils!

Ow shiiit this was completely erased from memory, but one glance at that dashboard instantly brought it back! Thx for this

My god it is; I had to jump through so many hoops to get it to do what I want..

Hope you have a great day! Wishing you two all the best!

Pork roast, live music and beer. You might've won the thread..

Inheritance tax should be 100%. It would change so many things for the better..

I do like to have a look at these type of overviews, but I highly doubt they're actually useful to anyone. Stuff on there is so random it'll probably confuses the people this is intended for more than it helps..

Hmm good question.. I do like overviews with tooling/technology; what is new, what is left behind, what is considered standard at the moment, etc. It's just that, since DE is such a broad field, I think it would be better to let the field you're active in determine what to focus on.

If the goal is to provide junior DE's with some guidelines, I prefer to educate them on what would functionally work best to solve a problem, so they can make the right decision on what tool to pick (where in practice, this is likely already decided; you just work with what's there).
