I'm convinced working from home types aren't as productive if they are paid by the hour.

Hmm... one study I just read said the average worker is productive for 2 hours and 23 minutes each work day. Hard to imagine you'd be less productive at home.

Out most successful Com games ever, lead out by the cyclists who were a gift that kept on giving... (compared to all the ball bouncer teams who mostly crapped out).

The British Empire is the best thing that ever happened to NZ, and the world in general. When we got there the very sparse polynesian population was starving to death and located in small areas. NZ is what it is now soley to Britain. Yeah, there's still a lot of that English racist nonsense floatin...

That will be bad news for the Ukrainians as the Eurozone does not appear to be willing to pick up the slack if US support wanes. Hopefully, US military aid for Ukraine will continue despite the above, but it's a concern. I think the US support is fairly bipartisan (apart from Trump blackmailing Zel...
