I dunno, I’ve listened to some Middle English on a History of English podcast, and could follow along only slightly. I’m sure I could come up to speed quickly, since it at least has the French influence already (if I remember right).
I’m not familiar with the great vowel shift, is that a result of the Norman invasion in 1066, adding French into Old English? (That’s the sequence, right? It’s been a while since I read about it).
You can download a system restore image from Lenovo for that specific pc. It reloads the OS from a thumb drive, including the proper drivers and licensing.
For licensing you can also run the scripts from Microsoft.
Nah, your partner started the whole thing by belittling your needs. Full stop.
Move on, don’t waste your time with someone this selfish. You may not be perfect, but by God, your partner thinks it’s always all about them.
It’s pretty simple, the candidate didn’t meet the requirements.
Not sure why you’re involved, this is an HR and legal issue. If HR said they don’t have docs showing eligibility, then that needs to be reported to the recruiter, otherwise they’re going to recommend this person to somewhere else, and run into the same issue. How would you feel if you were in their shoes?
Whether someone can legally work somewhere is not your problem to solve, unless you can actually do something, like help them submit appropriate paperwork (I’ve done this for employees who were temps, to help them get more permanent status).
This is all HR’s problem, not anyone else’s. It’s what HR is for.
Not sure why they’re punting it back to you.
Well, first I’d have to learn Old English, I think. Hell, even Middle English isn’t understandable.
Hopefully I could get up to speed before they locked me up, or worse.
I think there may be scale elements to these too. The chart I had included scale.
They are?
Is there a study on this?
I’ve seen a diagrammatic chart showing the difference, but damned if I can find it on my phone.
I don’t think there’s a ricochet, as (if my memory is right), bazookas use a shaped charge and that hole is caused by a jet of plasma.
Pretty high tech for the time.
Have you listened to any sports commentators? They all talk about <insert current game on tv> as if it’s the most important, world-changing event ever, and every little detail had some significance.
My god, baseball is a game for (as Brits would say) boffins. Fans of the game could put meth-head ravers to sleep. I’ve worked on more exciting spreadsheets for business planning.
And football has become just as bad, with the incessant pre-game/post-game commentary examining every nuance of a play - “I’m pretty sure if the inner aglet of his left shoe had moved the other way, we’d be talking about a completely different game”.
Bread and circuses, appealing to our base nature. The difference between WWE and “actual” sports on tv is only a matter of degree.
Excellent approach, putting that in my book of tools.
I’d also be sure to ask the second person to finish what they were trying to say after person 1 was done.
There are 2 reasons:
Never know if they have a different perspective or other ideas. They may also have thought of something while listening.
In the help desk world you learn these kinds of people get worse when they get shut down. If you actively engage them (even if you don’t really want to), they’ll feel heard, and maybe be less likely to feel compelled to interrupt. Plus you come across as a Good Guy® at work.
There’s some truth here, like poorly-treated children probably have difficulty with empathy, except I’ve known a few people that had very hard childhoods and are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met, as if they developed past those issues to understand how important empathy is.
I also come from a large family, and while my siblings and my cousins had very similar upbringings, the variability in things like empathy and justice is extensive even among siblings (notably including twins).
To me it seems like there’s a strong element of innate character trait with this stuff, as we’ve watched kids grow up and seen their character at 2 years old remain consistent into adulthood. If this stuff were driven mostly by environment, then at least most kids would be similar… And we’ve found they aren’t, it’s all over the map, unpredictable by the environment.
Not to say environment doesn’t/can’t influence, it certainly can, but I don’t believe it’s usually the primary driver, just in cases where the environment is notably negative
The same ones you’d use with a wire.
WiFi is just Wireless Fidelity… A play on HiFi. It’s just a wireless equivalent of wired ethernet. You still have an IP address, you still have a router (without a router only one device in your house could connect to the internet, typically your wireless access point is a combination router with a wireless access point in it).
Interestingly I just watched the Archer fugue state episodes yesterday…
Not really, no - entropy is one-way at the macro scale.
The flour absorbed water, and combined with kneading, produced gluten (and was baked, causing more chemical changes).
Grinding it all up wouldn’t reverse that process - it would just be ground up bread.
Glad everyone was OK.
Why would you think having an animal unsecured in the cabin was a good idea?
I’d start with not saying anything, but writing a log/journal hourly, even if it’s just in a phone app that reminds you. Remember squeaky wheels get treated like they’re the problem - best to have documentation on your side.
After maybe a month, then decide what your actions will be. Maybe just request shifts that happen to never coincide with this other person. Sometimes doing what you need is better than addressing the root cause.
So you’re saying unprotected tracks aren’t a good design idea?
They also look stamped (maybe cast, possibly forged). Pros/cons there - faster manufacturing, easy to carry, fast to replace, easier to damage.
Oh, wow, didn’t know that’s a wild garlic flower. I’ve seen them before, thought they were something else entirely.
