Yeah I wouldn't be worried about nervousness. Just focus on doing the best you can at an interview. You may be great, but someone else could be perfect and get the job. It doesn't mean that you did anything wrong though.

OK that's pretty hardcore. But I still feel he's a rarity probably.

Do you think that sort of thing happens all of the time in women's soccer? They are professional athletes in both the women's and the men's game. Neither set of people are some sort of superheroes.

He may have had a bad habit to try to trip people during a hit but equating that to intentionally kicking someone in the throat with a skate blade to KILL SOMEONE them is two entirely fucking different things.

Are many people saying that he intentionally tried to slit someone's throat with his skate? I can't see any in this topic at a quick glance. I've seen far more comments (in this topic and outside it) that it was unsafe and avoidable.

This sounds like a mail merge would be useful as another couple of posters have suggested. Other suggestions might work too, but mail merge is how I've dealt with something like this before in the past. I think I'd found good instructions by googling. And Office does a lot to help you out too.

"Things" (1989)
"Raiders of the Living Dead" (1986)

Things! I've seen it twice and I don't think I finished it either time knowing exactly what had happened. It's definitely the worst film I've ever seen.

I'd second that Predestination wasn't confusing. It had the twist, but it was all quite straightforward. Good film though.

The person who made the original comment said it was more than they average, not the average for all men or all people.

Past Lives was my favourite of those that I've seen. It really impressed me.

I did it in 3 minutes. It took me a little while to get going. It helps to move on if you're struggling, and then maybe you'll get some letters that will help after you complete some other words.

It feels like everyone has answered the question, so just a note that I don't think that you've used lowest common denominator correctly. If you're trying to insult people who buy Nintendo consoles, you'd want to say that it would continue to be aimed at the lowest common denominator. If you're trying to say that it would be the weakest console, you'd want to use a different phrase.

Kenshiro Teraji just fought (against Hekkie Budler). He's the best light flyweight in the world.

For those of you who wear an undershirt, what if it's hot? Do you just walk around wearing an additional layer?

I don't know you, but being nice to people goes a long way. One of my closer friends is one of the more socially people I know, but he's just very pleasant, and I can't imagine disliking him. He might not be for everyone, but he's got friends.

I'm not saying that you're not already a nice person, but I've come across a lot of people who are pricks and wonder why no one likes them.

I've heard of people doing tiny house living because they want to downsize and be more eco-friendly.

They're not really poor people though. More of a middle class hipster thing.

Yeah everyone I know who had expressed interest in this IRL and what I came across when I read about it online suggested this was for younger, middle class people. Maybe it's different in the US, but I didn't really get the impression that it's aimed at poorer people in the UK.

To the point of crying and shouting at the moon:
Various studios & series ruined by EA ... rip

Not to the point of crying but real sad:
1.) Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
I knew what was going to happen but still, the ending hit me hard.

2.) Shadow Hearts: From the New World
The pacing was atrocius but for the final stretch of the game I kept hoping "please god don't let it end like this..."

3.) Gris
No dialogue, simple, sad.

Also a VN and some games from App/Play Store.

I didn't cry, but Gris was very affecting. Florence was another short indie game that hit me too.

Have you got any examples of your writing? As in, have you got any of this down yet? I think I've seen a couple of topics and about you and your story.

I find that sometimes people get so caught up in having a good story that you can summarise that they don't focus on the quality of their writing.

Good writing can elevate a mediocre story, but not vice versa.

It's "myriad crimes". Myriad is an adjective, not a noun.

I thought it could be either a noun or an adjective, and a quick Google suggests that's right.

It sounds odd, but I think it's that laying eggs is really nutritionally taxing for the hens. So stopping them from laying eggs means that they get to keep nutrients for themselves rather than for the eggs that they're laying. I've not looked into this, but I'm pretty sure that egg laying hens get really unwell from all of the egg laying.

"She wants a family with me, we've talked about it frequently. We match each other so well in almost all aspects. Similar hobbies, values, personalities"

I think you can have this and it be so unimportant when you fundamentally need someone who treats you well. She just doesn't. You could stay with her for the rest of your life and put up with her behaviour (many people do put up with bad relationships), but you don't need to. She's not going to change really, so I think you're right to break up with her.

Just to reiterate, if you treat someone well, you deserve to be treated well. You can settle for less if you want, you I don't think you should. And someone being nice 95% of the time, but horrible 5% of the time isn't good enough. We all have bad days and moments that we regret, but they should be incredibly infrequent and we should show actual remorse for them.

I like (most of) her music. Hounds of Love and The Dreaming are two of my favourite albums.

And I didn't get the impression that she was unknown here in the UK prior to Stranger Things. Maybe she wasn't as big outside of the UK though.

Fuck them for making console people wait an extra month.

The PS5 version won't be ready to be released until September, whereas the PC version is ready a month earlier. They aren't doing this to spite PS5 owners. Would you rather they just held back the PC version for no reason? This seems an odd thing to be annoyed about.

Of the 3, Weathering With You was my favourite, with Your Name not far behind, and Suzume just good, but not great.

I've feel a lot better about it since I've been managing other staff. I always try to make sure they don't feel guilty about being off and tell them to take the time they need, and am trying to follow my own advice a bit. If I'm too unwell to work, I'm too unwell.

Setting aside the fact that it seems like it was reported wrong initially, it shouldn't be considered "a guard's job" to assault people with no justification. You're saying he would have been justified in backhanding her for tapping him on the shoulder.

A light shove? Ok. Forcibly standing in-between her and him? Ok. Physically grabbing her arm to stop her from touching him? Ok

And in fact, the video shows he did pretty much what a guard should do, however you've been trying to justify him backhanding her when that's what we understood it to be, which is something I don't think any security does because that's more domestic abuser type stuff when the abuse victim displeases the abuser or for when a ho doesn't make enough money for her pimp. Those are the only times I can even think of backhanding someone coming into the equation.

Where is Brestugo defending the security guard supposedly backhanding Britney? Their first post in the topic is talking about reports that the security guard knocked her hand away, and the others seem to be defending the guard for doing that. Unless you're saying that the guard shouldn't have knocked her hand away?

I'd recommend Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective (board game) as well actually. It's a series of really fun mysteries where you speak to various people, follow leads, and decide when you think you've got enough information to solve the case. In theory you could rush, or you could do absolutely everything, but a midpoint between the two is good.

I quite like Stuart Turton for someone more modern. He did The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Devil and the Dark Water, both of which I really liked.

The Appeal by Janice Hallett was good as well. It's a bit gimmicky, but I like that.

Murder in the Crooked House is an interesting Japanese murder mystery.

I've never read any Anthony Horowitz, but I might check out the book you've mentioned.

I also thought Loch Henry was perfectly straightforward to follow. I liked it, but can see how someone wouldn't. I am surprised to hear some say that they couldn't follow it though.

What about Pippa? Is it not a very common name/nickname in the US?

Convicted rapist busy calling the other guy a piece of shit...

Your stance on this seems pretty strange btw, TC.

I wonder how different it'll be to the first edition, and where the differences will be.

I'm also intrigued by the Gloomhaven RPG that they're doing.

I think part of it is that 5e just doesn't have the most exciting combat, but there's also how rigid your DM is with what you can do. A bit of flexibility can make things a lot more interesting. And the biggest one is how quickly it moves. People taking forever to do their turns can be a huge drag.

You either see if your current employer is content with a shorter notice period, or you tell your new employer that you won't be able to start until later. If they've gone through the bother of recruiting you, they'll just wait an extra month. Don't worry about it.

I've also got a 3 month notice period (in the UK), and it's common across all of the more senior staff in my organisation.

It doesn't read to me that your account will be deleted if you're inactive for 30 days. It specifically says prolonged inactivity, whereas the wording around 30 days suggests that's what they would consider just normal inactivity.

Man, you're a bit of a dick, aren't you?

He is being a dick. Not really sure why.

I'm sure it depends on the dog, and there may be something I've missed, but my vet, the person I got my dog from, and everything I'd read when I searched online suggested not leaving your dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time as a general rule https://www.bluecross.org.uk/advice/dog/home-alone-separation-anxiety-in-dogs . So that would match up with your comment about them being fine alone for hours, if hours is around 4, but 8-10 hours would be way longer than anything that I've heard. I certainly wouldn't leave my dog alone for that length of time if I worked away from home every day.

Admittedly I've not really looked into this as much for multiple dogs, but the people I know with multiple dogs still wouldn't leave them alone regularly while they went out for work (let's say 9 hours for 8 hours at work plus a half an hour commute either way).

SUMIFS will help if you mean what I think you mean. Sum range would be column C, criteria range 1 would be column A, with criteria 1 being E2, with criteria range 2 being column B, and criteria 2 being F2. It will take the figure from column C that has A and B match E and F. If there are multiple rows with the same A and B, it would add together the values in C, but it doesn't look like you have that.

I wouldn't get a dog or two dogs if they're going to be left alone all day while I'm working. I work from home some days and take them to day care when I'm in the office.

Just popping in to say that I loved Super as well.
