ELI5: why is BRICS suddenly a thing and what is it?

I’ve always known BRIC to mean four countries, which may or may not have similar interests. Ok, add South Africa, that makes it 5 countries.

Until recently, I did not think of BRICS as a bloc or an organisation. What are they? What does it mean if a country seeks to join?

Don’t think that’s ever been a problem anywhere close to Paris climate. It’s not that humid and it’s not that hot. The difference between inside and outside climate is not that extreme.

And if humidity is a problem, you are dealing with mold, not actual wet floors. That is if the buildings are not well engineered and it would show in the long run, not during the gamee.

Interesting. The creation has a Wikipedia page.

Donair? What’s that? Fancy Doner Kebab made with Don Perignon and air?

I wrote it in German and I’ll repeat it here. The headlines are misleading.

The youth did not turn to the (extreme) right.

There was a shift to the (moderate and extreme) right bloc across all ages. This is within the typical range for Germany. (Throughout history, the left did not win many elections.)

And there was a shift inside the right bloc to the extreme. This is somewhat unusual, but again, it happened throughout all ages. It’s not young people.

In fact, the youngest voter group gave fewer votes to the right than any other group. (However, they also did not vote for greens as much as five years ago.)

The Nazi parties only win if we let them steal the media narrative.

Finally, a question where i can shine. You don’t have to do anything specific. Just do things.

Use a headset with your phone or laptop: You are on a call. Most people don’t speak much at online meetings.

Take a little nap? Thinking.

Want some time alone? Go to a meeting room. Works even better if the room has glass walls since you can see them and they can see that you are “busy”, but no one sees your screen.

Have multiple monitors. There’s always something work-related on at least one screen.

Have fields of interest that blend in. If one of your hobbies is vaguely related to work you are golden. You can totally read something unrelated to work during working time if it seems most your attention goes towards work. (See multiple screens and some switching back and force.)

Shift your working hours slightly from the norm, i.e. come 5 min earlier than others.

Don’t hide windows with non-work stuff when someone sees them. Too late. Act as if you have nothing to hide.

Do a reasonable work-life blend. Work overtime occasionally at odd hours and make managers know that you solved an emergency in your free time. Gives you an excuse to leave early or slack off the next day and any other day.

React to emails with a resonable delay. Of course, you can help, but not right now. You are busy.

Block your calendar and decline invites.

You guys get to retire?

You fill up the usable space. Or the visible space. No one will disamble the device and read from the raw storage.

My cat lectures me.

“Friends of socialist china”

I needed a second to remember whether this building has an elevator. Never used it.

Many smaller apartment buildings have no elevator. Above 4 floors that’s certainly annoying, but not unheard of.

So, yes, I don’t mind it. Never buy more than what fits in a bagpack plus one shopping bag. Easy if you don’t have a car and all supermarkets you go to are in walking distance.

See, that’s why I can’t dress nice. I’m not lazy; this is an organized protest to better mankind.

This is heaven. It’s like a looser hotline for business. No one gets my mobile number. Let them call the front office. And it happens I’m always in a meeting or on a business trip.

Every generation has this moment, where they learn to hate Microsoft (or Micro$oft). Then, 4% install Linux, 6% buy a Mac with half the RAM for twice the price; and everyone else to keeps complaining.

I wasn’t a fan on the S10, just felt wrong, and chose to hide OneUI with a customer launcher non-Samsung apps.

Now, with S22/23, OneUI feels just right. It’s still a Samsung with their own apps, but the overall experience is very pleasant.

With so much division in the world, unification just sounds right.

Exactly
