Is she coming home?
So weird to me to be against a country (USA) executing serial killers... you should spend some time looking up the people who got executed, these are not political prisoners, they're the worst of the worst, they've mostly killed multiple people, quite often defenseless women and children. ... -

DOOM: "Omicron Covid cases ‘doubling every two to three days’ in UK"
We are generally dealing with less 1% of infections being reinfections. The number is so small, in fact if all we had was reinfections the virus wouldn't be transmitted enough and would die out. So yes people can get infected more than once but it's almost not worth even considering when... -

Looking for a second contract whilst currently in an existing contract
It's weird how it is this big ethical thing here to make sure you are only billing the exact number of hours you work but this is not a thing in any other professional services. Accountancy or Legal services all bill more hours than physical hours they put in. Not sure why it's just the IT folk...- jayn200

3 Months into Contract - Offered Perm Role
Yeah I'm not sure what seniority level OP is at... but I mean most IT contractors posting on here are doing work that if given to a permie that person would probably be paid 50-90k range. Anyone that would get 150k as a perm salary is going to be on 1000+ day rates... and thats like less than 1%...- jayn200

3 Months into Contract - Offered Perm Role
I'd probably just tell them you're happy being a contractor and you would love to complete the work you started on as you enjoy the environment, work and think it would be more efficient than getting someone else in to complete it. Then sit back and see what they try and offer you to take...- jayn200

Netflix / Amazon Recommends
Yeah I'm not a fan anymore. Iron Man was the worst thing to happen to Marvel and superhero films. They used that film and it's success as a formula and now everything is a comedy filled with cheesy one liners. When I'm watching a superhero film I want it to be larger than life, I want it to be... -

Disaster First Contract
Lots of times companies hire contractors to save failing projects... when that happens quite often a lot of people at the company are already quite frustrated sometimes angry even so it's not always the best environment to go into. Not sure if that was the case or not for you but just saying...- jayn200

Carbon-neutral petrol
Where are you going to capture emissions? This likely won't solve localized air pollution problems which no one talks about anymore but cause way more deaths than climate change. -

Site for posting product reviews
Trust Pilot is a best place imo. Twitter is solid too but obviously reviews/ratings don't get aggregated together and will soon get lost. If they have a physical location than google reviews as well. -

Explosion Liverpool
Wasn't like 3 other people arrested for planning it as well? If they're Islamic terrorists then it's fair to say this guy probably wasn't legitimately converting... if they are christians then it's fair to say it's Christian terrorists... if they are a mix... then who knows? -

Salt Bae a bit hard up - international edition
I ate at a couple of his restaurants in Turkey and it was really good but it's like 1/10 the price of his London restaurant. He has gotten so much free press out of his crazy prices though makes you wonder if it's all just a big joke. -

Recycling Plastics Doesn't Work
That's not true at all. Most products don't have a plastic free option that's readily available. You would have to do extensive research and order online at probably a very high premium to get a plastic free option. If it was right next to the other product on the shelf and similar priced then... -

Taking white people out
I think power in this context is about money, representation in government, public institutions, influential corporations, etc. -

Taking white people out
Yeah, I am torn on this whole thing. There is such a strong racial inequality in the USA that part is undeniable. Obviously this woman is clearly, clearly in the wrong though as she is speaking about genocide... but why is this being printed? It seems every week they come up with a story like... -

Recycling Plastics Doesn't Work
Reduction absolutely is the right answer but it's not a consumer problem. Consumer's don't buy plastic! they buy products that suppliers choose to wrap in plastic packaging or make out of plastics. Don't blame the consumers. Suppliers probably won't change unless forced or some kind of financial...
