Why are so many so keen to take agency away from Sharon?

She disagreed with the decision, but instead of saying anything, decided to act like a petulant child.

[Nancy Drew @Shaggers999]

It looked really intimidating for Sharon for that decision to be made, by three older men, without any input from her. She didn't feel there was any point in speaking up against them and it needs calling out, no wonder she looked like she'd given up #CelebrityTraitors

@FlagsNTravel @WIRED We make fun of people's accents from 30 miles away. Of course we're gonna mock an American's accent. That's how you know we like you.

@ErikaFromMurica Don't. That's my daily struggle these days. I have to be nice though as the BA works for the client.

Not having plug sockets in the bathroom has nothing to do with safety. It's actually a clever plot by men to stop women taking hours in the bathroom doing their hair.

[alleé ⸆⸉ ❤️‍🔥 @mo0nandsaturn]

some of us have electric toothbrushes, electric water flossers, hair dryers, curling irons, flat irons, clippers, scented plug ins, etc. A socket in the bathroom is a must for me!

@ErikaFromMurica I can't decide if that's you telling me to stop or if it's a rallying cry and I can expect pitchforks at dawn.

@BookSpotlight "A" dictionary.

@housecor In my experience, they don't necessarily miss how they used to write code (or at least they accept this is changed forever).

What they miss about the "old days" is knowing that they had a future. That they'd still have a job and be able to pay the mortgage in a year's time.

@MrTibblesNewEra These guys?

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@GergelyOrosz Every large company I've worked with would have been more effective with half the staff.

The trick is knowing which half.

@anon_opin I don't think anybody is exclusively drinking these for every meal.

@qikipedia Is Scotland that big?

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@BigChuc82197870 Leaving aside the nurse not knowing the word, just answer the damn question.

How much alcohol do you drink? None.

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@fringeaggressor Complicated by the fact that not everyone pronounces words the same.

See: an herb (US) vs a herb (UK)

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@dieworkwear But the fact that you can't afford a car means technically everywhere is a walkable city.

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@housecor Mostly about how hungry they are and how cold their tent is.

@anon_opin We went infinitely better with GCHQ.

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@oskarkramarz @OpenRouter They seem to have put a randomly generated password above it as well.

[Tom Binns @fullstacktester]

@howie_hua I don't like like as a technique to always use but I think it can be useful for getting children used to estimating.

This is a technique that most of us use in our heads anyway and I'd only go for full-on long division if I needed a precise answer (and didn't have a calculator).

@romxdev They shouldn't be the default but I've worked a few places where it was the only sane way to modernize a monolithic legacy system, breaking pieces off one at a time.

FFS. Why is it always Dewsbury?

Meanwhile in Dewsbury Market.
