Yep, one stops just outside my house. When my daughter was little and asked what that sound was (the ice cream van music) I'd say it was the "music van" and it just plays music for people. Didn't get away with that for very long!

Wow you get to phone yours? We get an awful convoluted website where you have to type in all your details every time, including pointing on a diagram of a person where it hurts and explaining the problem. It takes forever to fill out and you submit it and then wait however long they want to triage you. Tbf if it's fairly urgent they are fairly quick but it's the worst experience when you're sick.

Then maybe you get a phone call with a doctor who basically just tells you to wait and maybe they prescribe something which then the local pharmacy won't have in stock. Contact your doctor again to get it changed to something else? Good luck! Many days later you get your prescription after you finish needing it.

Loved playing It Takes Two with my wife, such a great game I wished they made another one. The more couch coop games the better.

Agree with this however I've realised I can only do it with specific things. My wife complains that I could have taken things upstairs if I'm going that way for example but I've realised it doesn't work because if I do then I'll forget why I went upstairs.

Just like when they were going to replace all their delivery drivers with drones. It's just bullshit.

Perhaps I should have put a /s, agree, dont pay someone to do it, they can sell the speakers afterwards anyway

/s

The correct approach would be to keep calling the police/making a complaint every time it happens, build up evidence etc. perhaps speak with someone with legal knowledge. Complain to local authorities.

Or fight back, the way I imagine doing it is to get a huge amp pressed against his wall and blast death metal for all hours he's trying to sleep.

Also glitter bombs/dog poop/piss disks through his door until he gets the message.

Pay someone to steal his speakers.

I think in many cases it results in separate discussion over slack, probably between managers but it still often ends up in a follow up meeting.

[–] feddup@feddit.uk 2 points 7 months ago

Nope, all in a teams meeting discussing something, topic diverges or becomes too complicated and is slowing the meeting. Manager says "let's take this offline" or "we'll discuss offline". Keeps the meeting focused but I hate the phrase. It's not offline because it'll just be another teams meeting!

I guess it depends on the company, so far mine it's just making more meetings but keeping the current one focused. I'm fine with that, just hate the expression because it only makes sense if the follow up meeting was in person but we're all remote

I really wish they'd use drill down instead

Especially if the MVP ends up with a lot of scope creep for features that are not MVP
