Try "eat the children"

Went for a beer with a bunch of people from my industry, organized on a Slack community on which a lot of the industry, globally, is on.

Few weeks later I lose my job due to KKR doing a rug pull. I write on Slack that I am on the job market and get 2 recruitment processes the same week.

During one of the two, I get offered a good salary, then I go to the last interview in the other one's process, and I say how much I was offered, but the American salesman who is at the head of the department tells me that not coming with a client portfolio (I am not in sales AT ALL) he can only offer up to 10% less.

I get the other job and get good enough that I am going around speaking at conferences, and every time I meet the American in town I smirk at him.

I think his worth is mostly attached to Tesla stocks still.

The lamentation of their women, I guess.

The click-click-click of a perfectly healthy bicycle hub when slowing down without pedaling. It's the metaphor sound I use to the feeling of a team working well together: not going to be silent, but you can soundly sleep on it.

Zen browser is my daily browser since many months now. Most of your fair criticisms I have solved with Zen Mods and playing around in the settings.

The Widewine limitation is really why I will always keep another browser to fall back to: I recently discovered that all of Udemy is non-playable in Zen.
