              Yeah essentially it's ten players on a spaceship. One imposter (WW) who kills people. The crew have to find out who is the imposter and complete tasks on the ship. The imposter can sabotage the ship and sneak through vents. Very simple concept and very well executed. Free game on Android/IOS but it's €4 on steam.

                  Story doesn't add up at all? Is it a journalist messing up the details or is it just a fake story?

                            In other news, I made a tarte tatin. Looks a bit messy but tastes authentic.

                              Pizza oven arrived friday, made a basic dough saturday morning and worked out ok, need to try 48hour dough next. No pic of the pizza that caught on fire...lol

                                We're going to have to invent some new term for what is going on in the Trump administration.

                                None of 'clusterfuck', 'omnishambles' or 'shitshow' are really enough to fully convey the depth of what is going on here.

                                        Is there an expression for a child who is particularly proud that they just filled their nappy? Cause it's that.

                                            Today, I had my first face to face meeting with a customer since March 6th.

                                            I had to get approval from my RVP to attend the meeting plus I had to arrive masked up, sanitize my hands on arrival, complete a full contact tracing form (which included confirming I had no symptoms, hadn't been in contact with a confirmed or suspect case or had been out of Ireland in the last 14 days), have my temperature taken, wear the mask for the entire meeting and we sat about 3-4 meters apart at all times.

                                            It was fucking brilliant - I'd love to never have to get on another zoom call again (although that won't happen for a while yet) but just getting back out and being able to, somewhat, interact with customers was brilliant.

                                            Technology is great but you can't beat the personal relationship, it's significantly better than phone/e-mail/zoom/skype/teams - It's just no contest.

                                              You get a lot more short client meetings and as a result quicker turnaround of projects via video calls imo. Hard to build new business relationships but for existing clients it can really speed up things.

                                                            They can be quicker but not necessarily better imo. We've one project in particular with a customer that is having the arse being dragged out which simply wouldn't happen if we were meeting face to face rather than online for the last few months.


                                                            In my industry, changing your supplier (I'm the supplier) is very quick and easy, it might not always be the right thing to do long term but it is very quick and easy to do. We also have huge amounts of competition and there is always at least a couple who will offer stupid low pricing looking to buy business (it may be the same in order industries too) so the relationships with our existing customers are even more important than bringing on new ones. Face to face for me is the best way of maintaining that, it's been proven time and time again.

She could do with a bit more help from the team, her mammy mightn't be too impressed with the annunciation answer also they were unlucky with the order of the picture questions.

                                                                                                      Important for the Irish people to know that Leo runs the country not some jumped up Munster man with a better job title and worse hair.

                                                                                                      Do you think Tony rushed back to quick and wanted to fix the world to help with his grief or was it ego that nobody has been taking about him?

                                                                                                            Plenty still doesn't add up though. At least in the reporting of it...

                                                                                                            How would his fellow countryman dispose of a body in a foreign country? I know if I accidentally killed someone with an over enthusiastic box round the ear in Iceland I wouldn't have a clue how to successfully cover it up. Probably why I'm not a criminal mastermind.
                                                                                                            We've all done the case loots, but never with some underworld criminals money.
                                                                                                            The whole "he wasn't involved in crime, but was simply in possession of the criminals money" is odd as well.

                                                                                                            Maybe I've watch and read too many serial killer/mafia hitman documentaries and books. But I don't think it would be difficult to get rid of a body at all.
                                                                                                            Lads dropping bodies in canals aren't trying to hide them.

We've one project in particular with a customer that is having the arse being dragged out which simply wouldn't happen if we were meeting face to face rather than online for the last few months.


                                                                                                            In my industry, changing your supplier (I'm the supplier) is very quick and easy, it might not always be the right thing to do long term but it is very quick and easy to do. We also have huge amounts of competition and there is always at least a couple who will offer stupid low pricing looking to buy business (it may be the same in order industries too) so the relationships with our existing customers are even more important than bringing on new ones. Face to face for me is the best way of maintaining that, it's been proven time and time again.
                                                                                                            I think it really depends on the industry and the type of meeting.
                                                                                                            From March to August. I was on a single project with many internal meeting, multiple times a day. In this was done in a face to face setting (as would have been the plan without Covid), this would have been incredibly repetitive and unproductive. Instead I spent most meeting multitasking and getting my actual work done.

                                                                                                            But the last few weeks I've been doing something that absolutely required me to be on site and see items in person. Just depends.
                                                                                                            Currently doing 2 days midweek in the office and 3 from home. It breaks up the week pretty well and is preferable for me to 5 from home.
