It’s our IDE of choice at work. Yeah we do some Windows forms stuff but mainly enterprise web applications now using C# .Net Entity Framework, GraphQL, and Typescript React.

Our company is all in on MS, we have windows machines, use Azure etc.

We get clients that send us screenshots but they use their phone to photograph their laptop

As a Visual Studio Professional user it’s so hard to google help for that too without VSCode leaking into the results.

I get more done at home cause I’m a chatty guy in the office. But I do like the variety as I do Mon, Wed, Fri at home and Tue and Thur in the office.

Friday is a three hour day too.

Exactly. My car doesn’t have AP, but it does have a shed load of sensors and sometimes it just freaks out about stuff being too close to car for no discernible reason. Really freaks me out as I’m like what you see bro we just driving down the motorway.

It’s the snow for me. The dog is great but the snow doesn’t sell it.

Ironic considering you should get out more as clearly your worldview is severely warped.

Christ you seem that dense that you could be mistaken for a black hole.

Sure a lot can be assholes or whatever, but it doesn’t mean we just assume everybody is. Reddit had a mince problem, it’s likely you came from Reddit, during API gate I would guess, you happy be called a mince too?

Then you’re going in about Jan 6th like it’s apples to apples. I didn’t say all single digit millionaires are good. Furthermore many if those people did that not because they’re rich but because they have fucked up political beliefs.

Good for you. Shame unit someone assumed you were a slumlord too wouldn’t it. Personally if I earned that much I would be retired once I hit £1M. I also don’t judge people based on a singular purchase, that’s bloody insane and really does seem naive.

I’m not defending anybody, I’m merely pointing out the idiocy of saying all X are Y.

Next time I buy a car I’ll be sure to consult you to ensure that I’m making a choice that fits your world view. Do I need to do this with others things too? As I neglected to reach out when I bought a new camera recently.

Literally met a doctor who owned a Ferrari, it wasn’t a made up thing. To be clear he is a consultant cardiologist.

In fact when I worked for Apple I met many regular rich people who just have decent lives from value jobs and worked hard.

If you think single or double digit millionaires are the problem then you’re misguided. The problem is generational wealth or those with hundreds of millions or billions extracting value from the world.

FYI: A consultant (medical) can earn £100k - £140k per year in the UK. Source Easily enough to finance a Ferrari with low interest or save and buy one, or the shock even lease one.

Who is even saying that? I don’t believe I ever mentioned cost.

Really don’t get this mindset. A doctor can earn enough money to buy a Ferrari and it’s their money to do with as they please.

My issue is with people with obscene wealth, not rich people who work hard and provide actual value to the world.

Honestly I find your viewpoint to be quite naive at best and bitterness at worst.

🥱 👋

Where’s the line drawn here?

Like I never like to label all X as Y for a start, but if you own a Porsche are you a wanker? I own a Mercedes I am am I a wanker?

Is it sports car with little utility? I have many things that make me happy with little utility.

Edit: Removed the Freudian slip 😦

This is great. Appreciate you taking the time. I’m in no state to read these right now, had surgery with a GA today, but I’ve added them to my reading list.

Any sources for me to learn more about this? Not doubting but also curious.

The thing that is up is Israeli lobbyists are pushing hard for this.

Edit: GA hit me hard and this made no sense when I read it back so edited.

Thanks.

Because it gets attention on the issue? I don’t really know you’d have to ask him.

I don’t care that he did it, I care that people and government are more outraged over this than literal tens of thousands of dead innocents. And that we support genocide as a country.

Furthermore, I’m not sure I feel comfortable calling a resistence group terrorists if we don’t give the IDF the same label.

Are we going to arrest the Brits who went to fight for the IDF.

I do too.

Are Hezbollah any worse than Israel? I believe we should label Israel a terrorist state. If we don’t do that then I see Hezbollah as a resistance group.

How can you fight oppression if you have to stick to the rules lest you be labelled a terrorist.

I don’t think Liam is an asshole and it’s deplorable that he is held to a higher standard than others. How many brits have gone to Gaza to help the IDF literally kill people, but this guy fly a flag an is charged. Fuck Israeli lobbying for the to happen.

Do you not believe that sometime when fighting terrorism (coming from the IDF and settlers) that it stands to reason that you have to so terrible things yourself, lest you just get wiped out.

How would we feel about the Iraqi government locking people up for flying the American or UK flag during our illegal invasion. We could have been labelled as terrorists for those actions.

I’m not saying I’m right here, but I’m incredibly frustrated and on the verge of doing something serious as I don’t know what else to do. I educate my ignorant friends, I protest, I write to my local officials etc.
