Sadly the Co-op bank nowadays operates pretty much like any other bank.

And what's that?

What's the answer then, smartypants?

(I think they're exaggerating to emphasise how bad other things are for comedic effect.)

In Firefox ctrl + tab will do that, but even better you can search through your tabs by starting your search with %

Genuine question: would you think this about any post that showed a company in a positive light? Or are there specific things about this post that tell you it's an ad?

Has fuckface-spice departed red bull without me noticing!?

Apparently the whole "quirky unique collective nouns for different things" thing was a victorian meme. People 150 yes ago just made them up to be funny, and now they're solemnly repeated as mystical English dictionary words from the dawn of language.

Is there anything missing from

"Or is it because people were shat on somewhere else in the world than everyone else?"

?

Those are all good examples of the sort of thing you mean, but it's not a definition. I think if you want to be able to put into words where to draw the line, you'll need to define this term more clearly. If that's too difficult, then be satisfied with judging each situation as it comes, your instincts will help guide you. But go easy on yourself, you shouldn't feel bad for doing what you need to do,

What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I'm mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you'd be in violation of something at work.

My use case: I'm an engineering student, I need something with a lot of storage, hopefully SSD (right not I have MatLab, Anaconda and KiCAD taking up most of my 128 GB HD, and I had to uninstall the STM32 cube IDE from lack of storage), and reasonable processing performance so I can actually run these things at a reasonable rate. I need to stay within the windows/ms office world to simplify collaborating and file sharing etc. I'm not using it for gaming. Don't need a massive screen, or touchscreen or anything fancy. HDMI port would be reasonably important.

I want it to last me at least the next 4-5 years, and I'm hoping to not spend more than about £300.

I know a lot of people reccomend ThinkPads, what's a good model to get cheap at the moment? Or any other suggestions?

Is Windows 11 so bad that I should only be looking at ones that come with Windows 10 installed?

Thanks for any helpful advice!

Edit: Thanks to everyone for taking the time to advise me, I've ordered a refurbished T480 with 1TB ssd, plenty of ram, and a 1 year warranty for £340.

 

I've been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to Amazon.

Isn't there a better way?
