> They’ll say they will help. Even have you fill out a form. Have they not formed a verbal contract in saying they'll help with relocation expenses?

Tangentially but I've yet to see a free retirement planning web app that properly models your incoming peaking at a certain age. They usually just ask for your current salary then assume yearly increases until retirement ! How is that

It's always had restrictions. For example beyond 3 months, you have to demonstrate being economically active or a student or self sufficient etc. Then there are restrictions due to public health, personal conduct, public security

We feel exactly the same in the UK. Except personal freedom isn't questionable, it's in the gutter

Killing it - at what type of coding task? What "bigger advantages" specifically? What is night and day?

You do realise the average granny is in cognitive decline and dealing with a myriad of health issues? You can judge a society (or a company) by how they treat their elderly

Oh that's interesting. Soggy pizza is the worst. Not sure why they'd even offer it as an option but I think they've given up with the British public as they even let you order a pizza with a topping of fries !

That's exactly what I did on the next one but I think my aluminium foil was cheap because I'm sure one layer didn't do it LOL

That's weird! A normal oven would continue cooking the food, dishwashers need the steam to escape to start drying, clothes get creased in tumble dryers...but a microwave ? Just why?

Pre COVID, IKEA had a lot of decent value stuff (prices were low, relatively better built items too, relative to the other stock). There were also plenty of staff on the tills and on the shop floor to ask questions or get assistance. You ge

OK but stick to the UI framework domain for a fairer comparison. (We all know tech has acronyms) So what you got?

I genuinely thought a lot of these sibling comments were satire at first! The acronyms, the lengthy and confused explanations of versions, frameworks etc: > WinUI is an evolution of UWP which is an evolution of WinRT > WinUI 3 > Wi

(tangent) Train travel is such a weird thing. The service, staff, stock, pricing, timetable etc is set by civil servants and politicians 250 miles away. The ticketing system is Byzantine and if you make a mistake you get a fine or a crimina
