I take it the original ticket time of 17:00 was an error?

We have had that response that even if you are in the office alone, and everyone you work with is hundreds of miles away, you have to be in, after all you can use the network and video conferencing to stay in touch Yes, just like at home but no, you must be in the office

If you like the whole Middle Grade magical school thing, but you're not so much of a fan of JKR and her terrible views, you might really enjoy CONSPIRACY OF RAVENS. By @leahmoore.bsky.social Sally Jane Thompson and I www.moorereppion.com/cor/

Submitted the MS, again, to the publisher But meanwhile, getting tempted to mute the words "Mork" and "Borg" Can't go five minutes without someone enthusing about yet another off-shoot Today's "CricketBorg" was too much

Don't know who would benefit from this information (though I'm definitely tagging @halduncan.bsky.social because spicy things) but Lupe Pintos on GWR is stocking nduja now.
First outing was with cod, beans and rainbow chard and it were lush.

No FoW but I took that as being too big scale compared to the others they covered, no Blitzkrieg Commander either, but you thought that they would say "yes, FoW exists but looking at other things"

It was very "Little Wars" in that regard No "I ain't been shot Mum" or "Nuts!" or "Disposable Heroes" either? Complaint " the combat in this game was mostly troops shooting at each other" Well yeah, but did you try maneuvering? Trying to work squads around the back? No? Sheesh

Három Gyűrű ragyogjon a tünde királyok kezén,
Hét a nemes törpök jussa, kiknek háza cifra kő,
Kilencet halandó ember ujján csillantson a fény,
Egyet hordjon a Sötét Úr,szolganyájat terelő,
Mordor éjfekete földjén, sűrű árnyak mezején

One trend I hate in projects is for folk to refer to actual human beings as "resources" No. A server is a resource. Oil is a resource. Staff are actual human beings (apart from Project Owners and BAs) I am not saying "tar and feather anyone calling a human a 'resource'.", but not saying it either
