> _remember where exactly I heard a particular sentence_

Ha! Yes. Sometimes VLC doesn't remember where I was in the book so I have to faff around a bit and try to figure out where I was.

When I skip to content that I've heard before, usually I not only remember that I've heard them before, I remember where I was on my walk when I heard them!

Mitsubishi is an interesting company.

Cars, industrial size generators, erasers and now I see pitch black pencil.

Their Boxy eraser is amazing. Hard to get nowadays though.

Anyone know of a better one?

Been there, done that, caused a burnout after a long time. 0/10, wouldn't recommend. Pay was good though.

During the Covid pandemic, I watched from a distance a group of 6 people start and destroy a project.

After the 6 months, they didn't even have a a MVP.

This was run on a 6 month fund from the local government. They didn't know each other but they all knew that after 6 months it'd be over unless they'd secure more funding.

They spent the time faffing around, configuring things, splitting things, ... effectively making things harder for themselves.

Mr Edmam

I have received and read your response regarding my apology to you. I'm concerned that I may have upset you more than I realised.

My grandfather once told me not to take in too seriously random strangers comments. I try to live by that advice, wether it's comments from internet strangers, or, for that matter, customers at the phone shop.

This is of course not an advice from me to you. But I thought I'd share it with you in case you might find it useful too.

DBNR,

R. Root

"I suspect ... are probably somewhat okay ..."

This is not an argument against what he said.

Mr. Edman. I have no doubts about your experience. I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings.

You're right. I worded my reply very badly.

I was thinking about the psychological effects. The article mentions it but doesn't go into it: "However, 63% do fear it will be problematic to know how much their co-workers make"

If you look at the list of problems I wrote you see they are psychological.

4% quitting. But what effect does it have on the other 96%?

Quitting is an extreme response (not wrong, and I totally understand people who'd decide to quit).

But what's the response of the other 96%? No response? Lower productivity? Toxicity? Less helpful? Indifferent? Revenge? Destructive?

I doubt the 96% will have no response.

I think this is way beyond a "a fault in our system" error.

Until KFC publishes a detailed incident report I'd be keen to assume this was done by more than one Nazi sympathizer.

How messed up does your DB schema need to be that you have issues with ordering entries by date?
