Alcoholic brain worm confirmed

I don’t think there are any vegans in The British Miracle Meat but I could be wrong. It says a lot about the state of everything that people actually thought it was real!

This. I worked in a call centre for a while. Service was not the priority, speed was. I got in trouble for staying on the line to actually resolve a customer’s issue because it took a long time (basically ended up having to do a conference call with the third party who had fucked up). I left that job ASAP because fuck that.

In descending order of good privacy:

• Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
• Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
• Mullvad
• Librewolf
• Brave (yes there’s controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it’s still miles better than Chrome)
• Everything else
• Chrome itself (seriously, don’t use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that’s not the one by the OG dev).

Eugh.

Did you mean to say American for one of those systems? England is part of Great Britain.

On the ground floor, you’re standing on the ground which has been covered by a (hopefully nice) floor.

Eh, I find it easier. If someone says second floor, I know that’s two flights of stairs I need to go up.

Then we would think it’s a three-storey building. Really don’t see the issue with calling the ground level what it is. The ground floor is zero levels above the ground. The first floor is one level above the ground. Think of it like this: how many flights of stairs does it take to get to that floor?

Example: my local hospital lists a ward I visited as being on the second floor, therefore you go up two flights of stairs to get to it.

Yes, a single storey does have a floor. We call it the ground.

With a latte, it’s just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.

We need a t-shirt that says this.

We need them in most residential areas honestly. I live by a main road in my town and there’s so many people with these cars in the wee hours of the morning. I hate them.

They can pry panto from my cold dead hands.

Dagnabbit you’ve got me there!

That’s good to hear! Hopefully it becomes more common or someone makes a universal kit to adapt existing vehicles someday. It probably wouldn’t be as elegant as a built-in fix, but definitely less waste and expense.

That would be ideal, I agree. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make cars safer in the meantime for children, who don’t have a say in the matter.

I ended up Googling which episode Clara left and watching from the one after that. I love her actress but the character was unlikeable for me, too. Bill’s era is pretty good imho, and I’m working myself up to the next doctor because I’m slightly dreading it after all the bad stuff I’ve heard. I did watch the specials with David Tennant because anything with Donna Noble is always, always mandatory for me.

If you liked 10 and Donna, you should absolutely consider watching the specials.

I don’t have kids and I don’t plan to, but instead of all the smart crap in cars, why don’t car manufacturers put some kind of car seat detection in? Like a little alarm that plays if you walk away from your car with a baby or child in it?

They can tell if someone’s in a seat without their seatbelt, they should be able to work out a way to detect car seats too. This is 100% preventable.

Hell, not even car manufacturers. If someone made a Hackathon-type event where the goal was to make the best baby alert system, I’m sure there’s at least one smart person out there who could crack this.

The CEO at my last place used to forget his passwords at least once a week, would write them on Post-It notes on his desk (and lose them by day’s end).

We had a dashboard that showed failed security and he was many, many times worse than the rest of the business combined. That man cost the business more in IT time than anyone.

This was a bank. Granted, a small lending-only bank but still, I would never get a mortgage or loan with these people.

They should have just put a Yubikey on his keys. He never lost those.
