Yeah, in hindsight that was some unfortunate wording Ü

This seems like one of those higher end sushi counters, where you get one or two pieces at a time. You generally shouldn't put rice in the soy sauce as the rice would fall apart. And you really shouldn't pass the sushi with your chopsticks to another set of chopsticks. All of the other things are fine in an izakaya setting. A colleague of mine who was in sales and had to make sure to cater to our customer's wishes was absolutely fine with mixing wasabi with the soy sauce for example. She one hundred percent knew about etiquette.

The only meetings I see as useful in the morning is if it is a customer living to the east of where I am. Anything else can wait until 10 am. I like to get work done in the mornings (emails, leftover todos from the day before, etc ). Plus, I have to manage a family and I took the job because I'm at liberty to start work whenever I want. If someone schedules a bullshit meeting before 10 am, I will decline that shit unless it really can't wait.

I think they meant the general meetings that are held everyday without a clear agenda just for the sake of having those meetings. These exist unfortunately and while it makes sense to get the team together every so often, this can easily be done in a slightly longer, weekly meeting.

I know what I'm talking about because I'm suffering from these dumb daily meetings. They're unproductive as shit and they mess with my schedules. Do this once a week and have the boss update the agenda every time. And for the love of all that is good, someone please take notes. If there's no protocol, then nothing of value was created.

Injecting your emotions into this whole ordeal doesn't make it any truer. I'm in no way defending Israel by the way. I think Netanjahu is a fucking Nazi prick. But comparing the two headlines randomly like this is a form of propaganda. You're doing this to invoke anger in people. I came to Lemmy to be free of this shit.

Except for treaties supporting the 2 factions, Russia invading Ukraine is a crystal clear situation. There's no complexity at all. Putin decided to attack Ukraine once more, after annexing Crimea. Putin is a lying, power hungry sack of shit. Much like Netanjahu. But the whole Israel Palestine thing has a way longer history, with way more parties that were actively involved.

I'm any case, at least we agree that both wars are shit and I do appreciate that.

Meetings in the morning are the worst thing ever. I have a job that contractually allows me to start whenever I want, with 9 am being the suggested core time to start. When the boss however constantly schedules meetings from 8 am, this benefit is annulled. Fuck Meetings in the morning.

No, it was the official statement back then before investigations were made. This happened a couple of days after the Hamas kidnapped and killed a shit ton of Israelis. There still was some miniscule amount of credibility in this official statement, which turned out to be bullshit after a while.

And yes, I absolutely understand the invasion by Russia. That is not a complicated thing. I do not fully understand the Israel - Palestine conflict and neither do you. There's also way more parties involved than Israel and Palestine.

What you're doing is posting disgusting populist propaganda, downplaying the horrors of one conflict to shift attention to another. Just stop. Both conflicts are fucking disgusting.

You're kinda downplaying the word genocide with your comment. Not a very efficient genocide if it's been going on for 75 years.

This is not an opinion of mine, it's what I read from your comment.

Inward opening windows are the standard in Germany and nearly everyone just buys a cheap bug-screen set that you can simply wedge into the window frame. They cost like 20€ a pop. There are all kinds of solutions for this.

Shit insulation is actually more of a pro argument for AC. I mean, the houses in the USA are made out of cardboard and gipsum. They dont insulate a thing. My house has great insulation. In summer I just keep the windows closed and roll down the shutters during daytime and it's freezing cold inside. At night we get cool wind from either the North or Baltic sea, we then open up the windows to freshen the air up a bit.

The are little devils, for sure! But that's what we kinda love about them. I've only ever met one really insane cat. She was unfortunately never castrated and was constantly horny but never had a mating partner. She fucking slashed the shit out of her owner, who actually needed treatment in the hospital. The entire face was ravaged, never seen anything like this. Honestly, fuck that owner. Completely unfit to keep a pet. The poor cat had to be put down because she was completely messed up in the head :(

It's called a CoP, Coefficient of Performance. It essentially is a factor of how much electricity you put in and how much cooling power comes out.

Cooling towers can have a CoP of 12 and beyond, whereas compression cooling usually lingers at around 3 to 3.5. so at a CoP of 3 for instance, you could put in 1 kW of electricity and get 3 kW of cooling power.
