Oh, that makes it easier!

As a gentleman, I'd offer to hold the steering wheel so she has an easier time aiming her lance at oncoming traffic.

The term "scope creep" comes up a lot, but to be honest that's not happening here.

They have no scope in the first place. No coherent vision.

The say surface-level vision-like things and present scope-like plans, but only as disposable tools to get investment. No single person in that company tries to tie it together to a real scope or real vision, or align development with it.

Smart and capable people work on any random game-like stuff that they find interesting, in the hope that it will all somehow become a complete experience all by itself.

That's an unnecessary loaded headline.

He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.

Oh this is exactly what I expect from the sun. Plus one vote from me on banning them.

Publications that can't describe things even close to neutrally and factually should be forbidden by law to cover real conflicts.

A plea for anyone having this happen, be gentle.

It is easy to think a tantrum is because the child wants something and either gets pissed that they don't, or are trying to make a scene to get it.

Sometimes (often?) it is more of a stress and panic reaction. And it can be hard to tell. Even if the tipping point was not getting biscuits.

Whether your reaction is to give in and buy them something, remain very firm that they do not get biscuits today and this is not acceptable behavior, or decide to pick them up and carry them to the car, be a safe and calm presence for them.

The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it's frustrating the term "left" encompasses both.

  • Saturday: Event in town, with small kids, socializing
  • Sunday: Teambuilding event
  • Monday: Work strategy meeting
  • Tuesday: Held a presentation and socialized
  • Wednesday: Work strategy meeting
  • Thursday: Course w/group sessions, parents over for dinner
  • Friday: Work event, work event
  • Saturday: Museum trip, family visit

Throughout the week, slow buildup of joint pain, feverish feeling, lack of appetite, swollen throat, buzzing head, torpor, lack of focus. Today I am just broken.

These are all (for me) normal physical reactions to overextending myself socially or spending time in sensory intense environments for any amount of time. They are also symptons I would get if I caught the head cold that is going around.

It feels extremely silly that I have literally zero idea if I have a cold or not.

Anyway, treatment is same either way: Take it easy for a while. Mostly wanted to share my frustrating confusion and maybe hear if others have similar experiences and how they manage. :)

This is part strong recommendation and part wanting to know thoughts of others who have read it. :)

Fern Brady is a scottish comedian who grew up with undiagnosed autism in a very catholic small town.

It's a brutally honest and personal story, and she manages to write everything in a way that I found captivating. She can describe situations of absolute torture in a way that makes them seem both heartbreaking, and almost funny in their absurdity. Like a scene where she got recommended an app to help her with meltdowns and describes how she is crying and punching her fist bloody against her living room wall, while with her other hand opening an app and seeing suggestions like "think of a puppy!", "count to ten and think of the last nice thing you ate!"

For me, the description of a years long struggle to push through a medical system with little and outdated understanding of autism resonnated deeply.

Make sure they stick out a bit on the top. The capillary acton from the tightly packed spahetti draws the wine up so you can drink it.
