Good question - I also don’t know how clear those definitions are. In my head all managers that are under department heads would be middle, and department heads + C-suite would be upper/senior management. And the subset of upper management that is C-level is, well, C-level.

What’s Volkswagen’s org structure like? I wouldn’t normally expect a department head to be middle management.

Civilians live at the borders too though

I’ve seen several dentists for a similar situation. The last one said that if they go by the book they should remove it. However if it’s all under the gum, not causing any pain or getting infected, then they’d recommend letting it be but getting x-rays every two years to monitor the situation, since otherwise it’s quite a proper surgery.

Fun fact that you probably know: the background ‘ticking’ in the chorus of Bad Guy by Billie Eilish is the sound made by traffic lights in Sydney

I hope you put more effort and nuance into discussions you have elsewhere!

I did, and I suppose you did as well which would have shown you what I meant and the differences between the Lapland of Finland and the general Sápmi region which is not often referred to as Lapland any more.

Small correction: this was in southwestern Norway; Lapland is in the far north of Finland.

Or make them take a quiz!

To be fair most do work without the app. The app is for remote control and other features like colors usually.

Ahh Knoppix :’) I think live boots were my introduction to Linux.

 

Ah, to live in those times!

 

I’m thinking of making something similar to these stackable shelves. But I want to do it using hand tools only so it seems plywood is out of the question (searching online said it would damage my Japanese hand saw). So I’m looking at solid wood instead and getting pine hobby boards that I won’t have to plane seems to be the easiest and cheapest alternative. The shelves will mostly hold records and books and the largest will probably be 30x30x75cm but stacked on other shelves. Am I in for a bad time?

 

I’m planning to make some floating shelves 150 cm wide and 30 cm deep.

I want to mount them on a wall that has a plasterboard of thickness 13mm behind which is a plywood backing of 15mm according to the details provided by the contractor (see the attached image). This construction was apparently intended for hanging TVs and they recommend using wood screws that are not longer than 30mm.

One of the shelves will have my record collection which could weigh between 25-50kg. What are some options for hardware I can use to mount the floating shelves?
