Rob Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 I'm wondering how it does a data dump? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-52619568/coronavirus-robot-dog-enforces-social-distancing-in-singapore-park 1 1 Quote

Paddy Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 What the Snowflake generation would be asking if this were WW2: Can I have more clarity on "the Country needs you" slogan? It's too ambiguous. Why aren't you doing enough to prevent these air raids? Does the siren apply to everyone? There are only male and female toilets in the Air raid shelters - I don't identify as either - where do I go? This respirator strap is leather, but I'm a Vegan. Why can't I have almond milk on my ration card? I find the term "black out" racially offensive. I find the lack of colour options in my uniform oppressive. How do I apply for compensation for my loss of free time? I find the press treatment of the German viewpoint offensive. 1 5 Quote

I might find this more funny if I wasn't myself a snowflake (surely one of nature's more beautiful things? and each one unique..) and proud of it. 3 Quote
Danelaw Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 It's not too bad being in isolation. For example, in one pack of rice I've got 8989 grains of rice but in my other pack there's only 8984. 4 Quote

Danelaw Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I was crossing the road when I saw my worst enemy get run over. I thought "Blimey! That could have been me." Then remembered I can't drive. 4 Quote

Paddy Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Important Government Notice: When using old brassieres to make your own face masks, it is vital that you use only the left hand cup. Otherwise you will look a right tit! 3 Quote

There were some amazing toys around for kids back in the day, before HS & E kicked in. Good times😂 I concur. The ability to play with really fun things fostered a want to learn attitude. When I was a kid it seems like you were able to experiment with everything, from mini civil engineering projects, to making things explode, to exploring the country far and wide on your own as a very young teenager. Something today's paranoia and regulated environment has destroyed. Accidents could happen, accidents did happen, but then, they always will. Consider it a small niche of the greater experiment that is Darwinism. 4 Quote
