It will still be made your problem by the judge even if your employer doesn’t recover that money will still end up being paid to the majority shareholders.
That is unless you were planning to live without income or decide not to continue living.
What precisely about your point did I miss?

Until a judge rules that you’ll be paying that back over the rest of your life so every month a large court-orderd chunk of your paycheck will leave your account.

“The commission includes the human rights and counter-extremism activist Sara Khan, the former West Midlands mayor Andy Street, Laura Marks, the chair of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the former Green party leader Caroline Lucas, and the activist Tim Montgomerie, of Reform UK.”
If you’re trying to work out who’s dividing the country maybe start with asking why you’re inviting a representative from the party who’s doing just that?!

Surely one only needs to increase the number of buttered cats attached to the generator axel to increase the torque and therefore the energy generated?
I can only speak from the generator side, is there a mechanical engineer specialising in buttered cats amongst us that can confirm/correct this hypothesis?

Yeah and the wild thing is that the importance axis is cut-off, by the time it reaches 10+ screens that’s the single most important employee who if they were runover by a bus tomorrow, the company will just randomly implode one day when something only they know how to maintain just falls over and no contractor can untangle the spaghetti infrastructure.
The thing is, they haven’t had a pay rise since screen 6 but somehow are just unphased even by inflation.

Yeah I feel like when it comes to summer dress for guys it’s basically the shorts & t-shirt outfit accurately depicted in the meme, topless if you’re got the body/don’t-give-a-fuck, or white cotton shirt and trousers that make you look somewhere between wannabe boyband member and British pink-skinned colonist on a gap year.
If people have sensible options outside of that (man-kini does not count) please let us know below.
- Comment on Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September 2 months ago:
Not really, the patriarchy mostly worries about “men” socially transitioning to women because that’d undermine core beliefs about men being superior and therefore any one who’d give up these supposed advantages is a threat to the social order and only doing it with bad intentions to assault women or a kink thing they want to take outside the bedroom.
Why do you think men are socialised to ridicule and ostricise other men who act too effeminate?
- Comment on Fookin Ghosties 2 months ago:
Absolutely, as someone who’s interacted with a fair few squaddies, the portrayal of the soldiers is very accurate.
It’s also got some fantastic dark humour and one liners in it;
“They’re not going to fucking fit!”
And
“Leave me spoon, I can’t -”
“No being a hero, you bloody hypocrite!”
And
“I hope I give you the shits!”

If you want a good British horror film:
Dog Soldiers.
A cult classic, it’s got Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones) and Stewart Pertwee (Alfred in Gotham).

I would think, given the region’s attitude to LGBTQA+, they’d be incredibly difficult to find.
However, once you have found them and they are in a space they feel safe to be their full self, you’d have the best Iftar of your life!
- Comment on U WOT M8?? 2 months ago:
The screen reads “Bluetooth Init…” which is short for “Bluetooth Initialising” i.e. starting up, turning on, setting up.
“Innit” is a common UK slang term usually associated with chav/roadmen which means “isn’t it”. This is used at the end of a sentence or as an affirmation.
Example A
Brit 1: Lovely weather today, innit?
Brit 2: Yeah mate!
Example B
Brit 1: Lovely weather today.
Brit 2: Innit tho. (Meaning: “Yes, it is.”)
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 months ago:
Do I believe in ghosts in the literal sense of an actual spirit hanging around in the physical world haunting places and people? No.
Do I think it’s fascinating to see how the idea of “ghosts” are used in a cultural sense usually representing an individual or group’s desires, thoughts, feelings, etc. after they’ve passed on and usually storytelling around respecting their wishes or finishing what they started so they can finally be “at peace”? Yes.
I also find it fascinating in a tragic way how people who’ve gone through extreme grief and loss can cling to the idea of ghosts, particularly of loved ones. Perhaps the pyschie doesn’t want to let go of that person so much that it can manifest as audio-visual hallucinations that feel incredibly real to the individual.
After all, we all perceive the world through our brain: it is the filter for everything.
I’ve experienced some strange stuff personally, but I don’t think I’ve seen an actual ghost. I remember having a dream about a close relative the night they died suddenly and we all found out in the morning. But that could be my memory post-rationalising something.
I’ve seen a milk bottle fly out from the back of the fridge but I swear I remember that the fridge wasn’t rocking unstably and that the milk was definitely at the back of the fridge. But I could have seen incorrectly because who pays attention to the precise location of a milk bottle when opening the fridge.
And I’ve encountered machines that appeared to be haunted. An ex-gf’s iPod classic she kept because it is a time capsule of her music would randomly turn itself on, play 10 seconds of a random song, then turn itself off again.
I can feel how a ghost story would fit all of these and feel like it would make emotional sense to me. Like there’s some deep part of our evolutionary psychology that supports feeling this way. Why?
Now in that sense I believe people genuinely experienced “ghosts” that aren’t actually there but are a part of their perceived reality and I find that fascinating.

- Comment on Why I gave up electronics club 3 months ago:
It’s also useful to think of the “ground” plane as a sort of well of potential charger carriers that the conventional current model overlooks. Aside from simultaneously visualising what’s happening inside simple ICs like BJTs / MOSFETs and the circuit diagrams I’ve found it a useful way for checking for common mode noise in circuit and PCB design.
I guess this makes me a lunatic? Don’t know until we test it;
Someone give me an
