Using uBO, but have noticed a slightly longer delay of a few seconds between hitting play and the video starting, but I can deal with that over being forced to watch 30s of ads.

25%, getting dangerously close to battery saver mode.

Back when I was managing a team, we had a new guy that I was on-boarding. I’d run the. Through all standard procedures and then get them to shadow others in the team, then swap so they are being shadowed and guided.

One day I told him to pair with someone in the team for an afternoon. At the end of the day I took him into the training room and asked him how things had gone. He had a big smirk on his face and said “I know why you had me shadow R”, and with a returning smile I said “and why was that?”, “because you wanted me to see how not to do the job.”

The new guy had hit the nail on the head, the person he was shadowing was a huge under performer and was due to go on a performance improvement plan after repeated attempts to give guidance. Anyway I didn’t confirm that is why I did it, but I’m glad that the new guy had come away thinking that, it showed that the training up to that point had been working.

I’m with you on this. I prefer important conversations that require me to make a decision or remember something in writing. Just general conversation about what you got up to on weekend? Fine let’s talk it out.

I understand so many more people prefer verbal communication because it’s easier for them to not have to type or put their thoughts into written words. I just wish more of them understood that it’s not the same for everyone and come to a compromise.

Just been to see this. Some bits were entertaining, but some bits were unnecessarily stupid:

• One guy setting his foot on fire to kick Eve as if it gives +5 fire damage.

• “I’m not going in there, it’s John Wick, it’s suicide” - Random henchman 1, “He’s just one man” - Random henchman 2, Both proceed to run in and instantly die

• And the biggest annoyance was how so many of the henchmen had guns but insisted on trying to engage in a fist fight.

I’d probably watch the film again a few years from now, but I’d likely be second-screening it.

Let’s hope he’s got the moves

I always look fondly back on when my brother would wake me up on a Saturday morning “quick, x-men is starting!”

I’m so envious that you have it as a job and a hobby. When I started coding I’d hoped I’d be one of those people that just whips up stuff in their free time for fun, but after finishing work I just find myself not wanting to code 😔

I find it interesting that they have two different actors playing Clark and Superman.

“Mary Poppins showed how great the life of a chimney sweep can be, and how lucky it is, would you not want that for your child?!”

I bought a £6 metal one, it’s only a small one as I still have plenty of mobility. I imagine if you have a bad back or reduced mobility you’d want a longer one. I think the brand was called Zomake? I bought it many years ago, it’s still in great condition apart from the logo wearing off.

I know I may seem old for saying this, but I highly recommend getting a decent metal shoehorn. Makes putting on shoes a breeze, and no need to wreck your fingers or do that foot-heel pumping thing. The backs of my trainers last so much longer now too!

Fortunately I’m not invested in the MCU as much as I once was. Probably worth chucking the spoiler in some spoiler tags though?

Actually maybe not? At this point I don’t know…

Strange that they include Kraven Hunter in the list but not Madame Web which had a greater loss of like $100m?

For that price I’d expect the beans and tomato to be swapped out with more bacon or an extra sausage. Absolutely robbed.

Watched this film last night with my other half. Before starting I asked what they thought would be the movie out of 5, they said 2.5, I said 3.5.

Secretly I was hoping it would be higher given there was association to the creator of The Raid and The Raid Redemption. Going in I was expecting minimal story with a ton of gory action, and some awesome choreography.

The first car chase scene was a dark, fuzzy, shaky mess with what definitely looked like poor CGI. It was giving me a bit of nostalgia from back when I used to play Max Payne.

Following action sequences were also all shaky cut cam, which really puts me off as you know the choreography is just not great. Where was the clean hard hitting action we would see from the likes of The Raid?

Story wise it met my expectations, a loose plot and helps drive the action sequences forward, but presenting me with a bunch of characters I just didn’t care about.

I think my partner got the guess right, 2.5.

I had read the article, but thought I’d put my guess out to create discussion 🙂

I’m guessing Sydney would be playing Zoe, are we going to have a cringe British accent from her?

Thank you for taking the risk. I’ll be chilling it from now on.

I really enjoy this chocolate, my only complaints are:

1. It says not to chill it - I prefer cold chocolate
2. The chocolate is not divided up equally, which for some reason annoys me…
