Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
I moved to another state last year, there's this place that's like an italian/pizza place mixed with a bar. It has the most divine friggen cannelloni I've ever had. Never even heard of this stuff before but the minute I tried it I was hooked. Mmm!

Not so fun fact: Most Italian foods has so many carbs.

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
Currently trying out a present from my sister, that's basically plastic socks (well, vaguely sock-shaped plastic bags, at least) with some peeling goo inside that I'm supposed to wear for about an hour and then in a couple of days my feet are supposed to be baby smooth. No idea how reliable it is, but considering I usually have the feet of a hundred year old lizard, it can only get better.

Shouldn't that digital/physical determination have been confirmed before it got to you? Are you sure this issue was with Client and not somewhere between you and Client?

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
Pretty sure the former by how it was explained to me. Also no worries it didn't take a month, just all of this morning and most of this afternoon. I'm more angry about the fact that I wore out my legs standing doing this and wasted so many reams of paper.
Hell yeah. I believe in you Peelee.

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
My elementary school gave out awards to a couple of students in a monthly assembly, kids who put in extra effort or made major improvements.
I got one during my last year at that school... But I distinctly remember one girl getting one because she came in when she was sick more than once.
...And now, as an adult living through a pandemic, I have to wonder... How many people, as adults, got sick, go others sick, or just fricking died becuase as a kid this one girl was explicitly rewarded for this kind of irresponsible behavior?I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
I have a shockingly American attitude towards illness, in that I havve to have very obvious symptoms (generally at the level of actual vomiting) before itaking time off, and then go back to work pretty much as soon as I feel better. It's a behaviour my dad accidentally drilled into me when he made sure I wouyldn't overestimate how sick I was.
This has caused me to be spent home for being too ill to work a couple of times, and once for being too tired to get along with people. I also know people who are absolute terrors when sick because they'll endlessly complain while absolutely refusing not to work at full pelt (thankfuilly they tend to have an ability to regularly work from home).
I understand it's even worse in the US where sick cover is assumed to be the employees responsibility (it's not over here, although you still can't take the piss). Over here there is a kind of expectation that sometimes you'll have to cancel your daste because Geoff has called in sick today and it's vital that tasks are actually completed (depending on what your job is, of course, I encounter this more than a code monkey would).

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
Nobody said it didn't, but sometimes it turns out that the practices are useful anyway.
Like homework.
EDIT: okay, to be a bit more serious, schooling as it currently stands has two somewhat conflicting intents as a pathway into the workforce and a pathway into academia, and the first is for better or worse the more prevalent.
Beyond its utility as daycare school tends to get you into the idea that you'll be going to the same place most of the week and doing tasks that don't vary in content too much, as well as teaching you the maths and language skills to attain a place in the corporate hierarchy (with very few practical trade skills*, I learnt the very basics of designing electrics and that was it). It's at the moment slanted more idealistically in terms of the content taught at least in the school system I have personal experience with, with a broad overview of arts and culture that might be removed depending on which philosophies hold sway when the cycle begins its next revolution.
The reality of school as a pipeline to industry tends to cause it to sometimes adopt the worst parts of working culture. This isn't always bad, homework is a legitimately good way of increasing repetition and thus retention, but it can also encourage dangerous behaviours like pushing through illness.
* Or life skills, most people my age can't even rewire a plug!Last edited by Anonymouswizard; 2023-03-27 at 07:25 PM.

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
I would argue that, while studying on your own time is an important aspect of improving ones knowledge and skill, that homework as it is typically assigned seems to be more about doing work outside of the deisngated working times than getting the pracice in.
You are literally taking your work home and doing it on our own time after spending the entire morning and a good chuck of aternoon at the place where yo'e supposed to be doing the work.
Especially once you get to middle school and high school where teachers seem to be willingly ignorant that you have more than one class and that all teachers assign homework.
I was once told that you should spend three hours of your own time for every hour you're in school studying and doing school work.
The typical American Public High School day begins at 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM, that's an eight-hour day.
8x4(the hour in school plus the three of your own time) is 32 hours.
X5 that's 160 hours a week, most of which is on your own time.
A standard seven-day week only has 168 hours.
If you work as hard as they want you in school you will literally only have eight hours of your own time a week for breakfast, dinner, sleeping, and travel... You literally won't have the time to have your own life.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: BisectedBrioche's Brilliant Bread Random Banter Bthread #243
The "deliberately" is what makes it a conspiracy theory rather than a statement of fact
Using my own memory as an example, there has to have been somebody who knew that rewarding a student for risking her own health and those of everyone she interacted with those days solely for the sake of getting more work done was a bad idea and yet it happened anyway.Last edited by Rater202; 2023-03-27 at 07:37 PM.
