just as well, i always struggled with it.

And my teachers at school used to say "You wont always have a calculator on you"

Look at me now, i spend 7.5 hours a day paid to sit in front of an expensive calculator with two other expensive calculators in my pocket. after which i spend several hours on my own personal expensive calculator before going to bed and doom scrolling on one of the aforementioned.... expensive calculators.

Anything more than the most basic mental arithmetic at school was a waste of time that would have been better spent teaching me how to code. would have saved me teaching myself a few years later after working a soul crushing call centre job for 4 years (in which i used a not very expensive and dog shit slow calculator)

Can you count backwards by 7s

counting backwards in multiples of 7? i'd struggle with that and i consider myself at least average

it isn't. In the UK where i am all your taxes are deducted from your salary before you're paid. if you overpay you get an automatic rebate at the end of the year. if you're in normal employment you should never have to speak to HMRC, your companies HR do it on your behalf in the rare event something comes up

I know it ain't me. i overindulge in coffee instead

you cant sell/buy a tool but i wonder if you can hire a contractor to build you one.

Theres quite a lot of humans on this planet. collectively we are capable of performing more than a single task y'know.

I'm not a climate scientist, but i am a programmer. i'd be much more useful on this sort of thing than trying to program my way out of climate change

from what i've read the russian guy was working for a sanctioned russian aerospace company or something

What does North Korea get out of this?

goodwill from an arms exporter. money, food, other aid. actual military experience for their armed forces.

honestly can't fault him for it.

In my current job the old manager okayed working on our own devices.

I would use my personal workstation to ssh into and do work on my work mac, did that for a few years. saved me disassembling my desk between uses every day or buying a costly KVM.

They seem to be getting a lot more uptight about security these days (although the "you can work on personal devices" rule hasnt been explicitly rescinded) so i have stopped interaction between my personal devices and work devices.

Having a M2 mac recently makes it easier, i can lie in bed and work pretty much all day on a single charge so my desk remains intact

excellent idea. now... where do we get this... what do you call it? Money?
