    “Thanks in advance” has changed meaning.

    It used to mean: “I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed”.

    It now means :“Fuck you if you don’t do this, and I expect this done without complaint.”


  • All non-stock companies which is the majority of all companies. That’s the problem. When a company applies for a stock market registration, it means that they’re selling off control and profit sharing of the company in order to gain investments to expand.

    All companies start with a single or two owners. The transition from owning everything to including others won’t happen if it means giving up to the majority of control, whether that’s 50% or 5/95%. That’s why many companies get stuck on 51%. It only ever comes over 50% when someone dies or makes a mature decision of letting others control “their” company.





  • Selvfølgelig skal de rydde op efter sig selv. Det er bare ikke helt så enkelt.

    Jeg tvivler på at “efter skoletid” kan håndhæves. Det vil konflikte med forældre, fritidsaktiviteter og bustider.

    Så er der også lidt omkring arbejdsforhold: Hvilke redskaber/rengøringsmidler må de bruge, og hvem har ansvaret hvis de kommer til skade under arbejdet osv.

    Er det billigere at have en lærer til at holde opsyn med dem end at få en rengøringsassistent til at klare opgaven?

    Hvor mange ressourcer skal skolerne egentlig bruge på at lege detektiv for at finde ud af hvem der har overskidt et toilet, og hvad sker der så hvis de straffer den forkerte?

    Er det ikke også en voldsom stigmatisering at lave offentlig udstilling af de børn som har tabt et stykke skrald?

    I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife… At first she didn’t understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things…

    Wake-up grogginess is a universal thing for any being with a brain. Even insects (probably).

    However most animals have more natural sleeping patterns which includes a whole lot of light napping which won’t cause drowsiness in the same degree. That’s how a dog can also go right from sleeping to barking out the window in less than a second, when it’s only sleeping lightly.

    So, when we are amused by a sleep-drunken dog, it’s because it reminds us of the result of our own socially adapted and unnatural sleep cycle and relate it to our own sick experience.

    Drowsiness from sleeping can also be a sign of dehydration, so make sure to to get enough water for you and your best friend.

    (I just googled it for less than a minute, so I’m an expert now.



  • I don’t ever use the start menu for anything. I can’t be bothered to look through that mess.

    Instead I press the windows key and type the first few letters of whatever I need, unless it’s already stickied to the bar. It’s fewer key presses than clicking through the start menu. I suppose that still counts as opening the start menu, even if I don’t use the actual menu structure.

    I also use the windows + arrow keys to toss windows around the multiple screens. It has a lot of other purposes, like creating extra desktops etc, which I admittedly never use.

    It’s a useful button for sure, but it does get a little overwhelming when combined with shift ctrl or alt . I can’t possibly remember all the uses, but I have the most commonly used on muscle memory.
