    I’ve never experienced it but the somewhat obvious trick is that it turns into a race to the bottom, where if you want to outperform your peers (or even meet the expectations of the company), the number of days off you freely decided to take turns into a KPI.

    So, people take even less days off when they are made free to take any amount.

    It’s why in Italy, for example, you can not refuse to go to holiday.


  • Holy shit I had no idea you were THE guy with hardware purchased 20+ years ago and will repair them and they move with me! Big fan of yours I even got a poster of you in my daughter’s room so that she grows with a positive rolemodel in her life!

    You spend $$$$ because you can and because you never stopped to think if you should. I am “mad”, or rather, annoyed, by people burning resources because “those objects are totally necessary for a fulfilling life experience”.

    And what’s funny is, you say that and then you go on detailing that you got a wheel and some pedals. Because that’s totally what a full simulation slurge rig setup is.

    Your actions agree with me while you defend the principle that you don’t.

    Very surprising to see so many peole lashing out at “gatekeeping”. Frugality is a very important thing (something something global warming?), a beginner can not get any meaning out of the very best gear, diminishing returns are a thing.

    Wasting resources because you are unable to resist the temptation of marketing is dumb, selfish and harmful.

    No, of course I’m not talking about safety gear. No, I’m not advocating for buying the cheapest stuff.
