Jeez, this has been the roughest week in memory for me. Managed to go for years without doing overtime in my previous few jobs, then every day this week I've done an hour or two extra cause they schedule big meetings/playthroughs near the end of the day that creates a bunch of stuff for me to do and leaving it until the next day will just lead to me missing or forgetting poo poo because a bunch of new things will be evident in the build that goes up overnight.

Guavanaut posted:Our nearest duck pond is like 10% ducks and 5% swans and 85% geese, and the geese have duck sized goslings now, so the seagulls can come and have a go if they think they're hard. That made me want to look for a video of a seagull trying to attack goslings, and, well, looking at the first google result, I'd say that image is justified: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9IZvDFX224 Geese are terrifying things.

Does anyone have any good news sources for Northern Ireland? I understand from Twitter shitposts that the new leader of the DUP has immediately split his party but can't find any actual news sources for it so I can understand what's going on.

They're supposed to be quite good for people with apnea and other sleep disorders, the exact people likely to be watching infomercials in the middle of the night, and his "I did crack but now I've found Jesus" pitch hit all the right buttons. Of course now it's The Pillow That Owns The Libs so he's probably coining it in.

I personally feel that it is more some absolutely insane version of protestant work ethic poo poo combined with a spectacular lack of understanding of how rich people actually 1. get and 2. stay rich.

Nobody has started/bought a newspaper to make a profit (at least on the cover price), they do it for influence and all the ways you can go on to make money if you're setting the political and economic mood of the country.
