  • What did you learn by being DISLIKED at work?

  • Two jobs ago, we got an email out of the blue from our "new payroll provider" telling us to log in and provide our banking details. It was so obviously a phishing attempt I thought no one would fall for it.

    Except it was correct and finance emailed us all a day later to tell us to click the link in the email and follow the instructions. Heads up, guys, heads up.

  • On the other hand, my brother and sister are two of the best people in the world, and we get together as a big family with all the kids absolutely every school holiday. Some families are close. We don't always agree on everything, but we always get along well.

  • You see something other than evil in Palantir? Huh.

  • The BBC is not good at what it calls "balance" - it "balances" climate scientists with far right nut jobs, especially Nigel Farage, and "balances" people who claim you ought to be nice to people irrespective of who they are and what they're like, (race, sexuality, gender, religion, legally protected characteristics in the equalities act), with far right nut jobs, especially Nigel Farage. They balance people saying that onshore wind power is the cheapest form of energy in the UK (it is) with far right nut jobs, especially Nigel Farage, and they balance people saying that immigrants to the UK boost public sector finances by an average of a few thousand pounds (they do) with far right nut jobs, especially Nigel Farage.

  • Trump ‘livid’ over crowd sizes at State Fair on National Mall report says

    Jump

  • It would definitely upset trump if lots of people used temporary phone numbers to buy up tickets and not attend, stopping other people from going, but I'm not sure it's necessary because it looks like it's going to be historically unpopular because it's Donald trump. Nobody actually likes him, they just like that he's racist like them.

  • Who is he?

  • I think there's a clear correlation there, but the axes are reversed: testosterone can't be the dependent variable of IQ score. Reversing the axes makes the gradient look incredibly steep, but that's only because of the obviously incorrect anomaly. r=0.435 is very much not a strong correlation, but it's not zero either, especially with a sample size this enormous.

  • Who is he?

    Jump

  • If you remove the anomaly, which may be due to an accidental additional digit, that correlation coefficient may climb a bit.

  • Burning Gas Pollutes So Much, Dirty EV Battery Manufacturing Evens Out In About 2 Years

    All the shit going on in the USA just now and this is what drives you to murder?

    (I assumed you're American because of the culturally dominant idea that it's ok to shoot people if it grants you a bit more personal liberty.)

  • My EV is easily and by far the best and most fun to drive (and cheapest to run) car I've ever owned.

    Absolutely my favourite vehicle to drive ever, easily more fun to drive than a lovely automatic petrol BMW I borrowed a couple of times.

  • Before the EU legislated that banks should all make it easy to automatically transfer all bill payments etc over to a new current account, you would need to set these up yourself on your new account. There's only one reason really that you would ask for all of that information, and the bank knew I was taking physical action to leave them.

  • My previous bank was messing me around and making things awkward for me, so I rang them up and told them they needed to fix it to go back to the way I wanted, or I was taking our current account and savings accounts elsewhere. They just told me they couldn't by policy. I made a complaint. They said they couldn't by policy.

    I did my research over the next couple of weeks and then I walked into a branch and asked for a printout of all my direct debits and standing orders. The teller did as I asked. That evening I got a phone call apologising and offering me exactly what I asked for.

    No. Fuck you. You didn't listen, you didn't believe me, you just shat on me for as long as you thought it didn't affect you, and then as soon as you saw I evidence I was serious now you want to fix it? No. Fuck off. Good riddance. I got myself a new bank thank you very much, where I got to choose how it worked.

    The time to keep me was when I asked nicely or when I asked nicely again or when I complained. Once I've put time in researching other options, it's way too late.
