I learned a new term while watching American Dad, Rubberneckers episode: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3667582/ In summary (as a parody to Snowden case), Stan becomes a target for a CIA elimination operation for exposing to his wife the covert operation all men do: eyeball other women. I hope...

@Baron : while listening to my house records I stumbled upon one that triggered more dopamine than usual so I tried Shazam on it and sure enough it found it: It's Italian house DJs from 2000s so it makes sense I heard it here (in Europe that is) around that time...

>> Considering working in finance I have the opposite problem, considering quitting being interested in finance. But to paraphrase Mark Twain: "Giving up on finance is easy... I've done it hundreds of times" :)

On the way! :D

Yup, it's got what it needs :cool:

Heh, it's a matter of taste, you don't have to like everything. Like say, ginger beer, some people love it. I had one last night and nearly puked, no matter how many straight pilsner I had afterwards I couldn't shake the taste off. @Baron : I liked "Eternal Now" better than the Armin Van...

There's a story that during the WW1 induced shortages in Russia, the Tzar was offered in lack of the original what was described to His Highness as "Eastern Caviar". Specifically, this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zacuscă Now, before throwing the first stone I must admit I never tried caviar...

Was this a genre in the US as well or was it confined to Europe? In the 90's progressive clubs I was going, a regular evening would start around 11 PM with a track like this: Around 3 AM the tone would switch to the likes of Why would you go to such parties? Imagine chicks as caviar...

We might start a "demotivators" thread, if you don't know what they are then take a look at https://despair.com/collections/demotivators. Here's one that might be new:

Look, if they were overperformers, I wouldn't care but they aren't. I suspect they might have a second job though. Meaning possible Zoom meeting with another company at the exact same time. If they're on camera, that wouldn't be possible. And why do I care? Well, the product I'm working on is...

>> Only if you meet their diversity quota Well I might be just diverse enough for Western white Caucasian guys to vote for me. Who you gonna elect to rule the World after Putin / Trump? If I'm long lived and lucky enough I'll witness them choosing their successors. Who's gonna be and what...

>> 1.Normally it is not having shaved and i look like a bum, spare the other people from having to look at my unkempt face. If I can see your ugly mug day by day in the office then there's no problem seeing it on Zoom. Else I'll hire another ugly bastard who can put an unshaved ugly face in...

I'm bored so I'll launch a debate, what do you think those of you that have to do this in a professional setup (software developer), of the colleagues who keep their camera turned off durring the infrequent, quick, few people involved yet official Zoom meeting? Besides not following "when in...

Delirium (tremens). Some guys here are not right in the head, always consider that.

I was thinking dedicating 30 minutes per day to reading the Mickey Mouse magazine in German. I've a collection of some 70 issues of it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224892473224 On one hand it doesn't help me much. Long gone are the days when I was dreaming of a German salary working in Germany. I...

There's some Internet talk about the latest ecranisation of Snow White story which basically sums up to this: Now the pictures might be a bit deliberately taken to underline contrast but overall what do you think? Who's prettier?
