You can't really assume the prices will stay low forever and removing local competition exposes you to supply chain issues.

I remember Wimpy from my school days. I have never, and probably will never, eat anything as monstrous as Wimpy's Bender in a bun with cheese.

I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.'

New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.

His recent announcement to bring in a policy to make former Prime Ministers do National Service really did bring tears of laughter to my eyes.

I didn't think anyone would have a toaster as old as mine, I might take mine with me just for preservation.

I agree with this. I hate exercise so I go into the office a few days a week and I cycle to get there and back which is roughly 10 miles in total. Without that commute I'd be too tempted to do nothing by way of exercise.

Thanks! I hadn't heard of that show before, having watched the first episode you can tell it's from the era of Tomorrows World and the legendary Johnny Ball!

I work in London, UK. The distrust levels in the company I work in are difficult to gauge as I'm contracted out to a client site. From what I hear other contractors in the client site the level of distrust is simply down to pay. The parent companies that have contractors onsite rarely offered a rise that matched inflation even when inflation was <3% let alone now when it's >10%. I've even seen employees of one parent company move to another for a five figure pay rise and end up in the same building doing an almost identical job.

> I've always perceived opinions on HN regarding work as being of the 'take the money and run' variety, switching jobs as fast as possible and generally having no loyalty in the company

This is not a fair picture to paint of people who job hop. I've never been in the same role for more than three years but that's less about loyalty/money and more about my desire to learn new things at a pace faster than the companies move.

I'm not on Twitter and yet I'm probably aware of far-right commentary on the platform. I can't say I'm aware of any "far left extremists" as you call them. Who are the "far left extremists" that you mention? Isn't there more attention to far-right Twitter accounts due to the increase in violence taking place in the name of far-right politics?

I'm currently a year into a role as Lead SRE in team working in SAFe. We plan five 2 week sprints for which we immediately write off 50% of our time as "BAU activities" and the rest of our time is spent lurching from one deliverable to another in the hope we actually achieve something before we get "re-prioritised" yet another time. It's not even SRE, it's 2nd line support and platform engineering. I really have no idea how SAFe works or how it's meant to work, but everyone seems happy so long as I complete my JIRA tickets on time because that's what the users want.
