Hotel > AirBNB

I find when I AirBNB in the places I have been across Europe I have had no issues and I end up getting more for my money with no silly cleaning charges.

Is this something other locations have problems with or am I just missing the terrible places?

YSK these e-mail tips

Yup, I just talk the way I want to talk.

I talk with my own character, politely and everyone is happy.

I don't understand what businesses some people are working in that you'd need to be so careful with how you talk.

I work for a global multi billion dollar company and never had issues, plus the higher ups don't even talk like this in meetings unless it's some official email or something.

Remote Work Is Here to Stay, and Employers Aren’t Happy About It

Reply in thread

I'm working in the UK and my employer which is US based has embraced the WFH culture. Although the CEO initially said they didn't understand it, they did listen to their employees and has decided to sell off their HQ in the US and give people the option to WFH or work in office.

I value this so much.

I do hope more C-Suite listen or that employees leave to reach then a lesson.

What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

Luckily they hired a developer who is the only person other than toady who has properly looked at the code.

They are adding multi-threading, not to all tasks but a few so we should start seeing serious performance improvements.

Putnam (The new dev) has already made some great changes, especially when it comes to performance.

Would definitely check it out again with the steam release.

They're a blank canvas you can do whatever with, they're basically pancake batter cooked at high temperature in a cupcake tray.

By themselves they have a slight savoury flavour but you can do whatever with.

In the UK they're called Yorkshire Puddings where they're common eaten with roast beef/pork/chicken/etc with gravy and various vegetables and mashed potato.

Definitely a fantastic addition to a meal.
