If you have a pixel, graphene os is really good, very easy to install, and doesn't have any AI bloat. I've been using it for a few months now and cannot recommend it enough.

I was just thinking electricity should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive each Gw is. It'll never happen, but if we wanted to tackle this issue, it's what we should do.

We also use "I'm trying for a baby" as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is "just dropping the kids off at the pool"

I've been using Manjaro with Cinnamon for about a month now. It works great on an old Lenovo with 12gb ram. Probably going to stick with it when I build my desktop.

I think it's middle, bottom, then top.

Why

WHY NOT? Why not just waste a week of your life creating a react project just to coverup your insecurities of how incompetent you are. Just Why not!

At least they're self aware.

Possibly a bacterial infection, I get them somewhat regularly due to hyperhydrosis, it's easy enough to clear up.

Trim and shave your armpits and use an anti-bacterial body wash, a medical grade one from the pharmacists. I use Bactiscrub, works great. Leave the body wash on your skin for 3 minutes, then rinse. You should be good to go, no stinky pits, at least for a few weeks. If you start to feel stinky again, just repeat the steps above.

That case is gorgeous, what is it?

Do you hear a sea shanty?

Yeah, it should be "fig 1", "also fig 1, but the other half".

Shitting themselves in public. It doesn't happen often, maybe only a handful of times over your life. But it will happen at some point. You'll be at the urinal, or sat on a barstool, go for a cheeky fart, and feel a warm wetness you haven't felt since you were a baby. Then you run to a bathroom stall, see what you can salvage, and excuse yourself from the situation.

It'll happen to you at some point.

 

So I've been out of work for over a year now. I'm a software engineer with 20 years experience in Java, I have experience in over a dozen other languages, I've worked for companies of around 30 employees as well as big multinationals.

Over the last year, I've applied for literally hundreds of jobs, and I've gotten one interview, got all the way to the final stage of the process but missed out to someone with more experience of that specific framework they wanted. I was told that they really liked me, that my code was good even though I was learning that framework while doing the code test, and that I would integrate with the team very well, but they needed someone with more experience with the framework they use. They did say that if another position opened up this year that they'd get in touch.

So my question is, what the fuck do I do now? I'm still applying for every programming position that comes up on the job boards, I'm emailing recruiters to try to get my foot in the door, I'm teaching myself different frameworks and languages and building small demo apps to show what I can do, but I'm getting nowhere.

Five years ago, I had absolutely no issue getting a job. I'd literally have several job offers within a month of looking. Now there's nothing. For context, I'm in the UK.

So what are my options. What can I do to get work as a programmer in today's market? What else is there for me to do? How would I get started freelance if I've never done that before, and is that even a viable option? Are other people experiencing the same at the moment?

Please help, I'm getting desperate.

 
 

Four drag queens accidentally book the wrong venue, a biker bar in the middle of nowhere. During their show the bar is attacked by vampires, so the drag queens have to team up with the bikers to survive the night.

This wonderfully camp horror comedy had us laughing throughout. There's a lot of really sweet characters, tonnes of references to classic vampire films and TV, and the drag queens are played by real life drag queens.

This needs cult status.

 

I'm still not sure I believe this is real, but loved these games as a kid, glad to be able to return to them.
