Being purchased by Private Equity is basically a death knell for whatever unfortunate company is in their sights

Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
My first December living in the Netherlands was kind of shocking, coming into the office one day and seeing a handful of my colleagues dressed up in full blackface… turns out the office was doing their normal Sinterklaas celebration and that was my introduction to Zwarte Piet.
- Comment on Don't like the 'left liberal bias' of cited and sourced Wikipedia articles? Not a problem, our lord and savior Elon is introducing Grokipedia. 4 weeks ago:
Funny you say that. In Serbia, they say the noise a pig makes is “grok”. My wife burst out laughing when she found out the name of Elon’s AI.
Imagine some Saudi prince launches an AI called Oink, and then sets up Oinkepedia
- Comment on Anon gets a pay raise 5 weeks ago:
I’ve had an exceptional performance pay rise, as well as a promotion pay rise in the job I started 3 years ago. My salary is now only 5k behind where it should be if it has kept up with inflation

- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 2 months ago:
So how long before the private equity firms strip mine EA for all it’s worth, and force it to rent back it’s offices, which force it to bankruptcy?

I pushed a $1 bln test trade through production instead of my test environment… that was a sweaty 30 minutes
- Comment on Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why 3 months ago:
Oh I completely agree. Private and public funding options should be working in harmony, but private must be prevented from overreaching into the public sector
- Comment on Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why 3 months ago:
Oh I am 100% grateful for the NHS. I used to live in the Netherlands where it’s much closer to the US system, and I paid 3x more for basic insurance, than I do for private insurance in UK
- Comment on Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why 3 months ago:
My wife needed her gall bladder removed. She had many gallstones that were causing her extreme pain, which needed many trips to A&E to get Morphine based pain killers to deal with the pain. Mind you, she has a very high pain threshold. The NHS waiting time for the removal was 2-3 years.
Fortunately I have private family health insurance through work, so we went with that route. The time from referral, to having the operation was 4 weeks.
4 weeks of pain vs 2-3 years… it’s easy to see why people prefer private.

I’m sure glad they have their pension triple locked so it always goes up with inflation at the least…

That’s clearly not a triceratops, only 1 horn. Plus triceratops didn’t have such will defined spikes on its back
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 7 months ago:
England is in the midst of the Hundred Years war with France and considering I’m ~193cm and the average height of a man in England in the 14th century is about 171cm… looks like in getting my arse drafted and shipped off to France, to act as some kind of intimidating presence. That is until I have to swing a sword, which my body, that’s used to sitting in an office looking over excel spreadsheets, absolutely can’t do, so I get bum rushed/hit in the face with an arrow and die.
That’s the most likely scenario.
Worst case scenario, considering I don’t speak middle English or Latin, I’m treated as an enemy and locked up in a dungeon somewhere.
I don’t think there is realistically a best case scenario
