That’s “parent” not “adult”

I with no kids at home have excellent sleep

Teens are the ones (after new mothers) who suffer the most, with natural sleep cycles starting around midnight or in the early morning and wake times in the late morning or early afternoon, but school schedules that force them to be active at school from 9am

My sister got told off regularly for reading after lights out

As adults my mother told me that after they found books for me I liked they pretended to never notice the light leaking through my doona, they were just happy to see I was reading

It’s not like the US manufacturers anything anymore, and Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies

It’s like you don’t even try to export your culture anymore, when I was a kid everyone watched Sesame Street, now all the kids in all the English speaking world are watching Bluey

Wouldn’t you just move the ground floor people in the hotel up one floor and that floors people up one etc to infinity to clear space for the rock?

The ship might be repairable, but that’s not so true of the crew

You can also just shoot down your ideas as you speak them “but I would first need to clean that workspace, and that’s impossible”

On the good side your family and friends start just not believing you when you say you’re going to do this thing

On the bad side sometimes (so far exactly once for me) a friend will implement the idea you sketched that time and haven’t done yourself, and they do it wrong

That’s a fault of them telling you you’re doing it wrong, not telling you how they want it done. I wonder what they actually wanted

It really is bad when people expect you to intuit what they want from you

Most people think it’s best to upgrade 4 houses to a hotel

realistic

Has anyone personally known to you become randomly wealthy?

Keeping in mind Monopoly dollars are big enough to buy streets, utilities, houses and hotels

It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI

keyboard layout resets

Most people don’t care as they only have one layout. You and me are odd. I usually set my preferred layout as default

It’s going to annoy me. I keep the task bar on the bottom on my machine and on the side for remote/virtual machines

The system in question is capitalism. It’s been around longer than any of the named generations. It was tamed a little before the first world war (it enabled the first world war to be a world war). It needs to be more restricted

What you wrote was fine. Some people don’t like that sentence structure for stupid reasons

I wouldn’t, but only because I enjoy writing, even for email

“that’s a shame, you should have considered it when you last downsized the workforce. I’ll be back in a month”

You mean in a single dose? I’ll have 700mg 1000mg over three hours often

I have only heard of melatonin for jet lag and changing shift work

I don’t believe it’s good for sleep in general given those two uses are about messing with circadian cycles and that’s not going to help someone without otherwise good sleep habits

I have a friend who’s a new PM (in scaled agile). He isn’t up on expectation management.

We have a process where we request data from another agency which takes “from 7 seconds to 12 days”

And of course he tells people that. And of course they hear “7 seconds”

I have told him that if the SLA is 12 days, say “less than 12 days”
