I often found the opposite can be be true, people can, for decades on end, be totally ignorant of what happens next door. When you show them the effect of their ignorance you often get something akin to the stages of grief. Definitely the

I use my home laptop once a month at most, a macbook would be an expensive paperweight. I use an old Thinkpad. This thread is full of people who are scared of changing the look of their macbooks. Jewellery? Or fear of standing out?

For LAN servers, I used to name my Linux machines after penguins. It seemed apt, made me smile, especially when new people came on board. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_penguins The Windows and Solaris boxes h

One thing to know, is that if you are neurodivergent, well organised normies will continuously give you bad advice. Copying their system won't work for you, it might however cause you a lot of anguish because you can't work their

In the audiobooks of 12 rules (which he narrated himself) there are some patches that are pretty touching and heartfelt. I saw him in an interview with channel 4 news in the UK where the reporter boorishly tried to trap him constantly, to n

The trouble is, in my experience, a lot of professional therapists are some rando who know a little therapy language. I had several therapists before one said, 'you appear to be showing signs of x, you need to talk to y'. They a

As an accountant at a large Corp, I can tell you that there are cases daily where two senior accountants argue over how to interpret accounting and tax rules, and often each agrees that the others interpretation is valid. I regularly see

But the hard rules only work up to the point that there is an exception. See my other post above. Occasionally a very senior person (hopefully senior) has to approve a payment that is outside of the rules, because it is something the rules

I run a team that includes people that do this kind of work using ocr software that matches invoices to po's. No AI needed. This is a solved problem. Why are there people involved? Because sometimes the invoice and po don't match

I think he is just trying to say he spoke to 'a' year group. If he said he spoke to a class, would that help? You are right that it is not that specific, a year group maybe one class, multiple classes or part of a class.
