  • At first i considered the fork as the others can all be used if you only fill the one vessel you want to drink from and the fork isnt useful for anything, however something was nagging at me and i realise i would get rid of the person who wrote the meme, "which one you choosing".

  • I remember watching a congress inquiry or something into something like student debt or subsidies (iirc) where comedian/tv personality Hasan Minaj was included in the panel. He was a bit out of place next to the usual gov office types cracking jokes half the time (although never inappropriate) and serious the other half and i think someone even noted his presence there being strange. I forget if it was someone in the video or just a comment below the video but they pointed out that they wouldn't have even been watching this legislation discussion if it wasnt for him and his occasional humorous answers or comments and i realised i wouldnt be watching either. Im not even american.

    If comedy is the gravy you need to put on some veggies to make them more palatable for people to consume them then by all means, pour that shit on and get people interested and engaged with the issues at hand.

    The every day person doesnt have to agree or change their mind, they just need to be aware and informed so when it comes the time to vote or support a choice they are given then they at least have some further knowledge beyond 'my political team is going this way so i suppose ill do that'.

  • FTC: Companies Are Using Your Data for Individualized 'Surveillance Pricing'

    Jump

  • Yeah i see. I have heard a similar angle of the same tactic for 'smart trolleys' where your shopping trolley/cart has a tablet device you scan your customer ID with and then scan items as you shop directly into your cart and when you leave you simply pick your bags out of the trolley and walk out with automatic debiting.However who is to say what price you see on your screen vs the guy shopping next to you like you just said, tech will really be used for the worst purposes unless regulations are in place.

  • Public bathroom hand dryers

    Jump

  • I dont think i have ever managed to use one of those 'dip your hands in' style ones without touching one of the sides after the initial blast kicks in. I much prefer the air blade style where you put your palms and back of hands out in front of them.

  • Doors that open inwards push air into the room rather than drag it out and this contains smells better so i understand why they do it, but without foot pulls i am annoyed that my clean hands are immediately compromised by every filthy bastard that walks out without washing theirs

  • Including consumer related data.

    This feels to me like "we know this user will typically spend the asking price rather than wait for a discount, so they will always get full price offers" or "according to cookies and other data this user also browses high end products elsewhere so we will offer inflated prices or higher 'shipping' costs and they will never question it"

  • Forklift drivers, what's one thing that you've done by accident that's always stuck with you since it happened?

  • You are correct, i had this back to front. I need more sleep.You could say i was too tired.

  • Oh no dont update yet, patch 1.2 was bad. There is a bug where you dont properly reboot during Night Terror mode and instead forced Host_Wakeup routine it loops back to start sleep cycle again.

  • Idk, ask the NSA if they have a copy of it

  • To what extent is this accurate?

  • Who you know, and the opportunities they afford is a game changer for career trajectory.The big reason to pay money or get into a good school isnt that the education is of that much higher quality, its about who your friends are, and more importantly what their parents or parents friends do. You have a friend all through school and one day you are like 'i wanted to get an internship somewhere but im not sure how to go about it' and then your friend is like 'oh my mum/dads friend is a senior manager/team leader at XY good company, im sure they can find you a placement.'

    But saying this, it is "who you know not what you know" until your in the job and its a matter of time until it becomes "what you know and who you know won't save you", except the rare circumstances where your working for dad in the whitehouse or something.

  • 'Tyre' is the american bastardisation spelling, so maybe he is from the USA.

    Edit: the opposite is true. I am dumb.
