See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can't force people to read it in this font.

The thing about billionaires it that they could just stop. It's not a skin colour, it's not an ethnicity or even a religion.

If they wanted to they could redistribute the wealth. They could use their power to close the political doors they exploit.

Wouldn't even have to check themselves out, wouldn't even have to adopt some monastic lifestyle. But they would rather live in a world where they have lifetimes of obscene luxury at the expense of others. At a certain point you have to ask if causing suffering is part of their fun.

Fixed penalties just become the cost of doing business. Like actors, we need to start asking for percentage of gross.

The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don't need.

The amount of times I've heard someone say 'its for the farmers' as if farmers have ever given a fuck what the clock says.

I once told a new guy not to stress over the Champagne because they bounce if you drop them.

I managed to stop him spiking the bottle into the floor.

If it isn't on your shelves (or server) it isn't your library, it's someone else's access.

For once, this is a form that does what sovcit thinks it does, fill it in and you will no longer have a driving license.

What happens next will surprise them, but the form does work.

Now remember people, it has to be exactly 45°. They will check so make sure you get a protractor or a carpenter's square.

If it's sending information to Microsoft then it has clearly been hacked. Likely by Microsoft. It was very nice of that young man to break protocol and blow the whistle on this whole thing. You should send him an itunes gift card as a thank you.

There is a bit of truth here. Toxic culture and out of touch management will make people walk as well.

Thing is, there might just be a wad of cash big enough to make me put up with that against my health interests.

Fuck ping pong tables though. No one left a company because they didn't have enough fucking table sports. If you think they are then you are the problem. Exit interview your own fucking arse.
