I once interviewed a guy after HR had already talked to him. Told him straight up the permanent job would preferably go to an internal candidate, but we still needed someone like him temporarily, even though HR had told him it was for a permanent job. He still took it and the internal candidate was promoted 9 months later. I'm still friends with the guy that took the temp job.

Labour turned against Starmer as soon as the elections were over. I get he's not the most exciting politician, but I don't think he deserves this kind of revolt. This would just destabilize the UK, because as soon as the next persons numbers drop a wee bit, their head will be on the chopping block.

Or just simple greed?

Nonetheless, this is the first time he has openly spoken about bringing the war to an end. Until now the narrative was that it will continue until complete victory. That's why this acknowledgement is a much more momentous statement than the actual meaning of what he said.

That being said, at this point I think the Ukrainians might keep the war going until they get complete victory. Although they are also incredibly war weary, so probably not.

Don't send a diving team in, they might come back with a megalodon.

Is this the time to bust out my obscure knowledge of gay duck necrophilia? The research won an IG Nobel price! (Not my research to be clear)

I will just leave this here: The first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Aves: Anatidae)

The US is about to find out (well, eventually I suppose) that the stone age didn't end due to a lack of stones.

Meh, you get used to it. It's only stressful when the end of the maintenance window is approaching and you still don't know whether you'll wrap it up in time. The odd hours are more annoying though. Often late in the evening or during the weekend. Long weekends are actually perfect for large maintenance operations, but you (and the other people doing the maintenance) give up that long weekend in return. And I learned over the years that a compensation day during the week does not equal a weekend day, because you can't do anything with your buddies for example or when you want to sleep in, there might be roadworks in front of your house.

Another retirement age candidate. It's really time for the boomers to just fuck off already in politics.
