  • Reality is that there is a lot of difference between office jobs, mechanical designer, purchaser, corporate laws specialists, and let’s say project managers have very different jobs but still have office jobs.

    Hour by hour? Read e-mail, browse lemmy, chat using teams (or slack), run to a meeting, then to another one, meet someone in the corridor and ask them a question about an ongoing project, realize that you need to review a report, open the file and get called, rfget a coffee, run to another meeting, conclude you won’t neither review the report X or nor start the report Y and call it a day.

    Le covid, ça fait, 5ans, le vaccin ça en fait genre 3 et ça a permis de stopper l’épidémie et de reprendre une vie normale, pas les millions de morts annoncés par les anti vax, oui il y a des effets secondaires et des risques, oui ce dont des drames et il est légitimes d’entendre les larmes des gens pour qui ça s’est mal passé, oui il y a un travail de pharmacopée vigilance à faire. Sauf que dans les faits, la campagne de vaccination a mit fin à la longue litanie du décompte des morts et handicapés du covid.

    Bien sur l’épidémie est pas finie, et le covid fait partie des virus qui nous piègent, mais au moins pour les personnes en bonne santé et vaccinée, le gros du risque est derrière, et si vous etes à jours de vaccins, le risque résiduel est encore plus faible



  • If you remove the Luxemburg, Andorra, and a couple of smaller countries, VAT rates are relatively consistent. Indeed, if you live within 20km from the border, it’s worth buying some stuff across the border, and for some trips to plan a fuel stop on the right side of the border.

    But if you need to drive 100 km, you won’t recover the cost of the road if you don’t do some specific purchases.

    Note also, that at least in theory, you’re not free to travel with unlimited cigarettes and alcohol (where tax rates difference can be crazy) so again, if you pass by Luxemburg or Andorra, you can’t legally speaking buy 100 packs of cigarettes, (but would still save 30 to 50 € on a 10 packs carton)






  • While the D&D Fight monsters ad nauseam is more an exception rather than the norm in RPG, it still has a couple of asset.

    Monsters are easy bad guys, there is not much moral consideration in fighting giant spyder or “children eating satanic Goblins” while if you fight against other humans who live in the forest that the Duke want to cut-downt to get wood for his navy it make everything more nuanced and complex. It’s great in regular RPG where you can get tons of interesting moral dilemna out of it, but if you’re into dungeon crawling monsters are removing all of that, and allow you to focus on the manage ressources to fight monsters apect of D&D.

    if you’re in zero to hero fantasy, you need opponent within that scale. so start with Goblins, then orcs, and finally dragon, and had a whole list in the way

    A you mentionned, it’s pretty specific to D&D and in many RPG you don’t use much monster, or come with something unspeakable and too powerful for the PC to fight against




  • Male fashion sucks, but tank tops aren’t seen like acceptable for men (out of the gym)

    That said, students are old enough to understand how to dress, so IMO the professor should have say nothpng

    But soon enough you’ll discover that if you dare to wear a short at work your manager will ask whether you’re in Hollyday or even sends you home to dress properly


  • Looking at the Ukraine and Armenia war I am getting curious about “cheap” drones or drone version of light aircraft. For the price of a Grippen, you can get 100 VL3 (even counting the modification for a drone version). Sure a cool ultra light plane isn’t barely as cool as fighter jet.

    However, With a swarm of 100, I doubt air defence will intercept all of them even in modern countries. Let alone operations in countries with no air defences
