every time. every time there's someone in the news the cops and medical personnel get nosey or even worse are looking for something to sell out to the press
They've had training, they know they're audited because they're told about it, it's not hidden as a trap and they've seen the same regular occurrences of people getting caught for this as we all do
and they still do it
not to be that guy but the coffee thing was worse than people trivialise it as. 3rd degree burns that required skin grafts. the warning was a legal cop out to shift blame and gloss over that the coffee was far too hot to consume by design and mcdonalds had already scalded hundreds of people due to it before the court case
don't side with the corporations, they'd burn you just as fast if it saved a buck on refills: https://www.poolelg.com/blog/the-truth-behind-the-mcdonald-s-hot-coffee-case-.cfm
{I pretended to be a humble engineer for most of my working life. Then I retired and now I am a proper humble engineer working on big bits of kit called Steam Locos.
Do tell, I'm not a train guy but I've walked past the big sheds in darlo train museum and been curious how just what the projects in there building these things involves
they squeezed far too much into far too small bandwidth for DAB.
I can hear FM anywhere within the miles and miles of range and the cheapest tat hardware
for Dab and dab+ I have to be in a perfectly flat space with no buildings, hills or trees or it sounds like some sort of white noise simulator set to "aggressive bubbles"
it's fucking awful
If your idea of progress is deleting half the apps on your phone, Callback may be for you.
ironically the two nokia dumbphones i got came with trial versions of games preinstalled that can't be removed. absolutely annoying as hell.
I'm very interested in this if it's pure
the addition of whatsapp video calling is actually insanely cool, usually on the nokia etc ones if whatsapp is included it's either DOA or deprecated due to the api changes
When a new kid who can't stand up for himself is subject to raised voices that's when one of the old guard (who knows too much about how the legacy stuff works to ever upset) traditionally steps in and calmly throws his weight around, liberally invoking manager names and HR meetings.
Preferably during the event so the kid can see this isn't acceptable before he jumps ship for a new job and the bullies are caught redhanded
Active bystander 101
my TV is 13 years old now and I've wondered how I'll ever replace it.
There are sites I came across that gather together the current new dumb TVs and I can only imagine this news (And of course the likes of Samsung sending ads if you change the volume...) will only make that more of a popular thing people look for
Ironic when I prefer to use a Mac for work due to being able to live in the unixlike terminal
The explorer for example is incredibly awful and it's easier to do file copy or move operations by command line, let alone something as simple as changing the current location in an address bar
Why are commercial modern OSes unable to do something perfected back in the days of windows 95
The internet is fine, as a series of useful resources which are searchable. It's a tool to be picked up, consulted then put down again and it's amazing for that.
For idling on and anything social media, not so much
Same with beer, pick it up now and then for a chat then leave it and go, amazing. Drinking for 6 hours a day every day while you ignore your family, again not so much.
everything in moderation
Yeah it might've been better if it hadn't porported to be based on the watch series, but they took that piece of crap knock-off handbag and slapped the Gucci label on all the same so the whole thing still makes me bitter
They can do fantasy, before twitter directed BBC policy Gormenghast was great
had a guy reschedule his interview 3 times as he "lives in the sticks and has a really dodgy connection a few days at a time"
after working with team members who are in maybe 1 daily meeting per week due to connection issues, I had enough annoyance built up to say sorry mate but you're applying for a remote role here
