Despite the study's encouraging results, scientists speak of them with caution. After all, many of the patients wouldn't have been injured at all if they hadn't had too much to drink.
 

A matter of five minutes and two requests

Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I just know how to choose an offline circle of communication, but the number of whiners on forums shocks me. Everyone whose request has not been met by the guru to the highest standard is obliged to whine about how evil and bad we, the gurus, are.

So, a man at work is given a task. For a real programmer, it is nothing, even if he has never seen VBA or Excel in his life. To solve it, it takes only 15 minutes to understand basic (assignment, condition, loop) syntax of such simple language as Basic, and ask a couple of questions to built-in help or Google on the names of functions implementing the reading-writing of Excel cells. The rest is a simple algorithm on a schoolboy level. At the worst, it will take you an hour. What does a nagging freeloader do? He goes looking for a solution on the Internet. He finds it for the money, gets insulted to the core, and goes begging on forums.

This is where the dog is buried. Contrary to popular belief, most gurus are friendly to newcomers. We are happy to help you in difficult moments, suggest the right section in mana, share our own experiences on what is not in mana, give a general idea of the algorithm, in the end. But don't ask us to do all the work for you. It is you who will get money for it, while in four out of five cases you are too lazy to even say "thank you" to us. In addition, do not forget that we help out of enthusiasm and interest, and turning an idea into a final result is a technique, a chore, a bore.

Why do we not ignore freeloaders, but send them to mana and do other perverse nastiness? First, trolling the whiny freeloader is sometimes fun. Secondly, sometimes you are in a bad mood, you want to distract yourself, you look for an interesting question, you see another freeloader and snap. Third, if he does not respond, then he will create five more of the same type of threads, will regularly apat them ("NO ONE KNOW?"), using the magic words "ASAP!!!", "HELP!!!", "HELP!!!" - and ends up walking away with the belief that everyone on this forum is a fool and no one knows the solution to his "super complex" problem.

A certain percentage of people can be reeducated. They learn to ask questions correctly, start reading the manuals and do the routine themselves, and even say thank you - a small thing, but a pleasant one. It's a pity the percentage is small. But I don't pity the others: quality is more important than quantity.

It's a bit weird to copy ( anecdotes.net) - but damn how accurate

Repair in the housing and utilities sector:
1. Break down everything that has served faithfully for half a century and would have lasted as long.
2. Put a Chinese phone that will fail the same day in the evening.
3. not turn on the phone in the control room until the tenants have fixed everything at their own expense.
4. Raise the rent by 30% under this pretext.
