to be clear, when a recruiter, manager, or ceo says someone is a "genius programmer" or "10x" or similar

Just managed to get the HP printer I bought in 2011 to connect to new wifi router, thanks to finding a web page that explained how to do it without any HP software

Also recently set up my wife's new work-supplied HP printer and had to use THE SAME GUIDE, as HP's software didn't work for that either

It really has been a delightfully springlike weekend. Found flowers on a riverside walk, the first of the Mossy Lawn Primroses, and managed to start the post-winter garden tidying. The sun is setting now, and the garden is glowing. All very satisfactory and restorative.

I am aware it's not due to last, but we have to appreciate the moments.

Have a good evening all (or morning, or afternoon, or night).

@cstross most of us probably have some internal list.

that list's also likely to contain places that would see invading tanks up on bricks with the tracks gone after a mile tops...
