  • Yeah but that's the point it's an arbitrary distinction. People somewhere make an arbitrary distinction about what people can and cannot do.

    The gun nuts would go mad if the Constitution were changed but only because it's an inconvenience to themselves. If the Constitution said you couldn't have guns and it were changed so you could, they'd be all for that. So it's not actually about the Constitution, it's mostly about themselves.

  • Oh for those really short contracts I just make dates up. I can never remember when I started and finished. I just look at the calendar and make sure I started on a Monday and finished on a Friday and it's roughly within the right time range. Never been called out on it.

  • I know for a fact that none of my references have ever been contacted for a reference. I have my old university professor is one of my contacts because at the time I was applying for jobs I didn't have any other possible references I'd had no prior work experience.

    Anyway I never got round to actually be removing his name and a few years ago he contacted me to tell me he was retiring (I don't know why he felt the need to tell me this), I asked him if anybody had ever asked him to provide a reference and he said no one had ever contacted him about it for me, or anyone else who'd put him down.

  • I always like to point out that outside of the US, Jiff means drain cleaner, although maybe that's just a commentary on the quality of the peanut butter. Although frankly it doesn't make the acronym any less ridiculous.

  • I noticed this with my parents.

    All my dad ever sent me pictures of is architecture. Or a tank, he also likes a good tank.

    I have no end of pictures on my phone of funny looking houses in Austria or somewhere.

  • I mean I would probably categorise myself as a bit of a workaholic but even I'm not that dedicated.

    What's he do on Sundays? You can never get anything done on Sundays even if you want to. Everybody else has a social life and is busy experiencing it, so they're not processing orders, or completing paperwork. Which by extension means there is sod you can do as well.

    You may as well go outside.

  • They also make the tired old claim that it's immune to Windows viruses. Well yeah it's immune to the windows versions of those viruses but there are plenty viruses for Linux and obviously Mac as well.

    I get quite annoyed about this claim everyone seems to make where they claim that because you run and non-windows OS you're suddenly immune to viruses.

    I think the photo is quite old though so it was a little more true back then maybe. But it's definitely not a statement I would make today.
