Yea they will it's just fungal infection due to the band aids adhesive. It's disagreeable, disgusting, takes weeks to cure but without any serious risk for health.

Im doing okayish I had a small surgery and it's mending alright except for some small and annoying problems

hello
Oct 1, 2021 14:54
hmmm
Oct 1, 2021 14:40
i knew it. All pms ever use java
Oct 1, 2021 14:05
Or even Java to implement a program
Oct 1, 2021 14:03
This would be like idk choosing C to implement an html webesrver
Oct 1, 2021 14:03
I know why your colleagues would hate you if you do this though
Oct 1, 2021 14:02
Ok maybe in subsets you can always manage dirty tricks
Oct 1, 2021 14:01
You can't make regex for html bc it's not a regular language. Like for example you can't check if something is well parenthesized through a regex.
Oct 1, 2021 04:24
I believe there is some trauma associating regex with the way they are taught. Fundamentally though they are efficient problem solvers.
Oct 1, 2021 04:21
some regex are also code worthy of importing a third party enclosure.
Oct 1, 2021 04:20
I can afford the arrogance to tell someone they try to use regex for something that can't be parsed though it. For everything else, there are try-it websites.

At the risk of perhaps being hit by a bus because you didń t check before crossing a road idk

Anxiety pushed me to higher level studies and to some degree of achievement. Still, I don't mean to live longer or have evolutionary benefits. My question was do you live happier
Sep 29, 2021 09:39
Perhaps there are regions responsible for anxiety and overthinking. They can live without me
Sep 29, 2021 09:38
Idk if i couldn't live happier with a selective lobotomy

People are vehicles of ideas they don't always are mindful of or support entirely. Nonviolent communication assumption is that violence is the fruit of a majority of people carrying ordinary violence meanings. Likewise, I think homophobia or "sexualism" if you allow me the neologism has roots in a large base of people that would never commit anything criminal, but could be the carrying vectors of violent ideas in ordinary interactions.
Sep 28, 2021 23:05
I see. Well I am OK with the origin of the word but I'm pained to see it like you said being used as an insult. The -phobia does imply it's stuck to a person's mindset. You don't have that problem with -ism words like racism that imply the problem is ideological rather than personal.
Sep 28, 2021 22:59
@Sarov I'm thinking the two things mix and marry quite well. You could have a phobia you deny and build a hate ideology around to cover your insecurities. You could have a intrinsic hate about a topic and word it around discomfort and insecurity. Both ideas meet in rejection, and are not always possible to dissociate.
Sep 28, 2021 22:49
@Sarov You mean fear of humans or things that are the same ? :D
Sep 28, 2021 14:12
@Sarov One of my colleague wants to quit. She asked for shorter than 3 months notice but the request was declined. Since then, she is basically away, taking sick leaves and being extremely demotivated.
Sep 28, 2021 12:37
I understand the rationale. Well considered decisions that involve taking solidarity as granted is not really cool for people that have to support that solidarity. It's the same thing with people complaining cigarettes prices are too high. Well so is healthcare for the cancer they provoke right
Sep 28, 2021 12:30
:(

I'm vaxed but you need a test for admission. They are afraid of contamination within the unit, even if you could be safe.
Sep 28, 2021 11:36
On top of that I forgot my phone and am right now unable to take a covid test appointment I need for tomorrow. I end up praying I will be able to from internet when I'm home, because I need the results for Thursday for an hospital admission.
Sep 28, 2021 11:32
There is the remote work disagreement, the hiring disagreement, the expertise on some of my technical advice being disregarded. The lack of trust in even the fact I'm willing to work. My colleague which is held hostage. It's a lot to work with
Sep 28, 2021 11:29
I have 3 months notice period. it's bad in the sense I'm considering quitting because I'm discouraged from contributing in the current job. I have a few reasons I'm in overall low mood.
Sep 28, 2021 09:46
Not great. Im considering quitting still.

I think he needs to give up some responsibility in other areas. He's often on site with customers, teaching how to use the product, or leading our internal users team. Hes the man with many hats. I am concerned this is not really good for our team. One more problem on the plie...
Sep 27, 2021 14:44
our PO is part time though. Think I told you but yea.
Sep 27, 2021 14:44
We have things awaiting here that are literally just a title.
Sep 27, 2021 14:43
PO, most probably on the impulse of either customer or the CTO. They treat the BL like some kind of post-it can which is OK... until it reaches our sprint.
Sep 27, 2021 14:42
Ill warn in retro first that for now on this will no longer be tolerated
Sep 27, 2021 14:41
I will
Sep 27, 2021 14:40
But it has become common practice to push unspecified garbage in the sprint. This is just the way it's been done
Sep 27, 2021 14:40
We have a planning meeting
Sep 27, 2021 14:38
This is not the first time, on top of that. No less than 7 tasks. And not a single one to be started
Sep 27, 2021 14:38
Agree
Sep 27, 2021 14:38
Our product owner is away, and everything to be started is either paused or has incomplete specification
Sep 27, 2021 14:36
Geeh. The 10xer I am is again blocked by our sprint being full of garbage.
Sep 27, 2021 14:28
I try to find excuses like detailing impact or giving instructions to be an excuse for the brag
Sep 27, 2021 14:28
My technique: when I achieve something significant I tell in our chat "X is now done/solved" this is usually enough
Sep 27, 2021 14:22
Yea, and who brag about it quite loudly
Sep 27, 2021 14:20
@Sarov I mean there is a bit of a wall in how I can express it in proper English. Performance as the output of employee is a good thing to measure and value. Liking performance as in "I like big and fast car" is a different thing. IDK more appropriate words.
Sep 27, 2021 14:18
IDK how to say in English though
Sep 27, 2021 14:18
@Sarov Someone who learn development late in a career
