Tonight's beer is a Northern Monk Patrons Project beer - Rejoice. An imperial stout.

Tried twice to charge at an @IONITY_EU charger. No contactless, Google pay broken on their site. Paid by card but charge failed both times and had to call support to get the charger to release. Worst charging experience in some years. Unlikely to ever use again. Disrecomnended

On the basis that (a) my drawing skills are zero or less and (b) I own one of those, I shall not enter; but I would like to take a moment to re-state my appreciation for this jumper design - I *adore* mine.

What's that? The sound of inevitability?
Just in: Russia’s gas supplies to Europe will not resume in full until the 'collective west' lifts sanctions against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has said on.ft.com/3THGR60

It's a bit sad that it has been "coming soon" for months, and all it has been used for so far is parking for ICE vehicles. That's all.
Hi @MotorFuelGroup - Any idea when the EV charge station built at Chancellor Ln, Manchester M12 6JZ will be open for use? It feels like months since everything looked finished but the chargers are still unavailable. (FS664 if you need a site code)

Typically we do a single interview of around one hour too. I don't understand why companies have so many interview rounds unless they're inundated with so many amazing candidates that they have to keep whittling them down to fit in their hiring budget.

Any ink-based printer is awful. Generally these days I only buy laser printers.

I enjoy running with my Aftershokz Aeropex more than I did with anything stuck in my ears.

I am hopeful I'll get to do some of that this week in my evenings; I envy you :D

I have found a lot of "coders" entirely ignore the value of project management because they don't understand it very well. Perhaps that attitude leaks into FOSS projects, only for them to discover a need for certain things and then have to do them as coders not PMs & thus badly.

I think FOSS projects often suffer for a lack of 'true management' because a TL ends up expected to do the bare minimum of management functions while also being a team lead, and that isn't great.
