Yeah, it looks interesting. I've got a huge pile of books to read already, but this does look good! I always thought it was a bit off how Orc were just "elves gone bad".

Almost everyone says that they'e an above average driver - I don't know a lot of statistics, but I know that aint right. Who's going to admit being a bad driver and still drive? Edit: typo

I worked for a Big Pharma co about 10 years ago, where we were caught up in an email storm. It appeared to be from a distrubution list covering thousands of staff, the purpose of the distribution list was unknown...

Plain-text emails have my full support. Especially in corporate environments, where you get endless shitty images and signatures appended on long chains that make it near impossible to see earlier emails.

Organizing a general strike of a non-trivial % or 200m Americans would be "quite hard" and probably not one for an app.

Probably made up statistics, but 80% of drivers think they're better than average. Question is, how do you know? It's super subjective. A lot of "top-talent" probably thinks that they're better than average. I would

Basically, all manual. My wife and I have a joint account where all income goes. We then have a monthly stipend that is guilt free, no questions asked. The stipend is a fixed sum and equal between us. We both have to agree to change it. We

I mean the state could. But we keep voting in centre-right parties that believe in small government and big business.

Aren't Excel and slreadsheet synonyms? Certainly seem to be! Excel seems so ingrained at this point, supporting something else would be very hard I think.

Robots have taken loads of accounting jobs. API integration, better software, et al have removed loads of mid-career/mid-level jobs. I currently work at a small eocm business, the number of systems and integrations availble have gutted

Yeah, take the time to get lost, self-powered in your locality. You can then try and find where you are on a map. Staying local means it is easy to get back home.

Tangentially, I had dealings with The Access Group when I was head of finance at a hospitality group. Access were full of lies. They bought up many category leaders for hospitality software, and tried to sell a single solution that then did
