daljo628 Haha no there are a lot of castles in Ireland 😆 this is one near Dublin called Trim castle.

My beloved natashathenomad is leaving me today and I am devastated 💔 it’s been so lovely having her here and we have had some fun adventures together in yet another new country (for us) 🇮🇪💖

Somehow I now own a cooking bowl and a cheese grater why?!?!? 🧀🥣
-
pilky This was not a need I had in my life until... honestly it is still not I will see what happens tomorrow though I am open to changing my mind.
-
I have Some Feelings that there is a Cheese Specific Domestic Object in my house. “You can also grate butter to make pastry.” Because making pastry sounds like something I would do 🙄
-
“It’s your cheese grater that you keep here.” “That kinda makes it ours, but I think you’re not ready to say that.”

Just fell in the river which... I am going to need some time to process 💦

To be clear I was not walking along the road and randomly fell in the river. I was in a kayak.

wirehead2501 Lmao but also not okay!!!!! I fell in the river!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I am traumatized by this whole river situation & bae won’t stop can’t stop laughing at me 😭 at least he made me a cup of tea & a bowl of cornflakes 🙈 but I did expect more sympathy 😭 My parents called thinking I had randomly fallen in a river not sure what to make of that 🤷🏻♀️
-
Me: “imagine, you fall in the river and all your boyfriend does is laugh at you.” Him, giggling, “yes I can imagine that”

Such pandemic misery this weekend. I miss my gym habit and am sad about the lack of prospect of a “real” vacation. Long weekends around Ireland have been nice, but a real getaway to relax and chill is so overdue 😢
-
The 15 countries we are allowed to go to has already been reduced to 10. I had been dreaming about a romantic getaway to Greece but... starting to realize that probably won’t happen 😭

They switched to 30 minute swims and are constantly closing everything. But the last straw was arriving as two Garda has some guy pinned down waiting for backup, started to feel like a really unsafe part of town. New gym has 60 mins in the pool and 90 mins in the gym.

-
It is deeply annoying to me how many people position diversifying a team as rocket science, and not just hard work that they don't want to bother doing.
-
IMO any engineering hiring process that results in <20% women* is fundamentally broken. Measuring women hires is a metric, but should not be the goal. My policy: measure women, because you can. Everything you do, do for all under-indexed folks (and ideally everyone).
-
Anyway that any hiring process with poor outcomes (lack of diversity can be a sign of broader problems) is fixable with some time and attention. Some advice: - Start by measuring everything & figure out where your dropoff is. - Build your pipeline. - Have empathy for candidates.
-
@kneelunge 💯
-
I will write a longer blog post about this at some point, but I have run this process repeatedly and iterated on it. Now on round #4. 100% it is possible, if you're willing to do the work consistently and over a long period.
-
Please take this person as an example of why 20% - the typical graduation rate - is easily possible for those of us who do the work. So many people hide their laziness and incompetence behind the "pipeline problem". Scalibq/1296456061239595010
-
ideasasylum 20% hired is the metric, top of the funnel metrics are not great because of volume of unqualified men. Post app-review (well calibrated) is a better metric, but ultimately, to your point, outreach is necessary.
-
lmao dude, I have so many receipts but the good news (for me) is I don't have to prove my credentials to every useless dipshit on the internet. Please continue your miserable existence out of my mentions tyvm. Scalibq/1296464739455950856
