Humans, alligators, probably tornadoes as well.

I’m confused you just randomly have the lotto numbers from a decade back memorized?

It’s because they reckon on 8-hour days but then under UK law they have to give you two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch. So they decide that they don’t like that so you’ve got to work the hours back so they add an extra hour on and then claim that your break times don’t count.

But the problem with that is the only reason that I’m having a break in the town rather than at my house is because of all the other hours I’m doing around it. So really they should be paying for it. Capitalism is going to capitalism.

Well, it’s all Earth.

Is that the ones where they claim it’s remote but really they need you in the office 3 days a week?

I once made the mistake of saying I was willing to relocate, like to a different city or something, and they took that to mean anywhere on the planet. And all the jobs they were asking me about when weird places like Saudi Arabia, and it wasn’t even well paid.

Like Wikipedia, and articles that don’t use semicoulons correctly.

there is a narrow alleyway near me that all the GPS systems seem to think is a road. It isn’t a road, you cannot travel down it. It’s bugged me for years, if we updated in this app will I fix it for other GPS systems or is this a standalone thing that only nerds use?

Well that’s, something. People who clearly don’t know anything about science probably shouldn’t talk about it.

“5g causes covid”, “I don’t believe in germ theory”. Pick one.

That’s just because he’s very good at hiding the bodies.

Yeah if you boil it in the plastic container then you’re going to have problems.

Yes all the energy goes into being heat but you have to put a lot of energy into the wire before it heats up. Microwaves barely use any energy in fact it takes more power to run the little clock than the microwave itself.

Join literally any other server.

That’s the point of distributed networks they’re supposed to be distributed if 80% of the content is on two servers that’s not distributed. People should move off ml and world regardless of their politics simply because it’s not a good idea to have everything all in one place.

I don’t think anybody seriously thinks that hot H2O can have a different formulation. What, are we postulating the existence of isotopes for molecules now?

I don’t know what you’ve made there, but it isn’t tea.

You can of course, keep the kettle.

Because resistive heating is inefficient. You need to pump a lot of power through to get a lot of heat. A microwave does not use resistive heating and works on a completely different principle and therefore the amount of power available is much less importance.

£3.50

But that’s just a small town pub, pretty much everyone in there will be a local they don’t get a lot of tourists around here.

A few miles away, but in more touristy parts, you can easily pay over £5.

So the moral of the story is that you need to live in a boring back water like I do. Around here if somebody gets their roof retiled it’s practically in the local paper.

I have no problem with people making money. Why would I have a problem with people making money if they’re successful?

These people are not successful because of their talent, they are successful because they have money. Success breeds success and riches breed more riches. If they do well enough they can stick everything in a high interest saver account and live off the interest.

So it’s a bit rich when they claim to be some big shot and to lecture everyone else on their secret magic talent, which is usually nothing else other than they were lucky with their birthright.

See Donald Trump is a classic example of this. The man couldn’t think his out way out a wet paper bag, and yet he’s fabulously wealthy even if he’s lying about 90% of his income he still has more money than most people would know what to do with. Everything he is is because of his father, all of his success has been despite his personal “accomplishments” not because of them.

Yeah they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, with nothing more then a couple of million from their parents.
