Well, I cannot imagine wizard dieing to a nuke. You would have to surprise them I suppose. I mean, what if they teleport the nuke to some other place?

Even if all the tech kept working, I imagine the only way you could beat a wizard as a Muggle is if they don’t see it coming.

If they see a gun, sure, the first wizard may be surprised and die, but it will not take long to find a spell that shields them. Rockets? Same story. Sure you can destroy stuff, even kill a bunch. The rest will be back though, and they can teleport, change memories, actually turn into another person or animal, turn you into an animal and whatever else.

The one plot hole in HP that always annoyed me is how Avada Kedavra is supposed to be the worst spell. In the books it is mentioned how Peter Pippeling blew up a whole street with a bunch of muggles in it. That seems way more dangerous…

Actually, at some point in the books they talk about this, and somebody comments how Muggles seldom would actually catch a real witch or wizard. And if they did, the witch or wizard would cast a spell to shield themselves from the fire and pretend to be in pain.

XIJZ.

We say it just like I wrote it, as one word. Although some people use Griekse IJ, which is also two words.

Sound like igrek.

In Dutch www is faster. Never understood why one would give a letter a name that consists of 2 parts.

I symphatize with that, but it would seem they are definitely not going to last until they are successful. I respect that you work towards renewable energy, but they won’t lose one night of sleep if they have to fire you down the road.

Take care of yourself, good luck.

Edit: I just remembered from another thread. Somebody shared a gem about hoping: Hope in one hand, shit in the other and see which one gets filled first.

Not to say hope is bad, but I also believe in being realistic about things.

Dude, just start looking. Don’t wait for somebody else to leave, be that person.

If somebody else leaves, your workload will increase even more while you try to find a new job. Just take the initiative. And next time, be quicker about it too. Protect yourself.

Much like the classic.

“Boss, I damaged the mirror of the car and now I can’t make it in time.”

“Why not? It’s just a mirror.”

“The rest of the car is on top of it.”

I knew this one, but I enjoy it everytime. Because it’s true, we add way too much stuff we don’t need, and that page loads instantly and gets the point across. It’s perfect.

Isn’t that what most printers do anyway? They have one job and they fail at that?

I hate printers :(
