I think this is the third or fourth time I’ve stumbled into this instance and every post has been… eye-opening for me. I believe it’s all perfectly genuine though.

RoboCop gonna want his piece back.

That I will ignore 30 years of accumulated knowledge and experience - and all the relevant laws - just because they really really really want me to build something their way, and that they tell me it’ll be fine. If an experienced professional says “no” there is a good reason for that… we’re not just being obstinate.

The fact that both me and you are questioning whether this is satire or not worries me greatly.

Me too. Nice to see the passion of the construction industry ( and the weekend warriors too)

People (try to) use a drill driver as opposed to an impact driver? Wow. I now understand why they could have a grim experience… thanks.

I’ve driven tens of thousands of pozidrive 2/3 screws into timber with an impact driver. For whatever reason my experience is the diametric opposite of yours. Big up the Pozidrive massive.

The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.

Unless the law has changed very recently cakes are not taxed but biscuits are, in the UK. Jaffa Cakes baked a giant Jaffa cake when they went to court to prove they aren’t biscuits.

Funnily enough in Russian the word for train station is Vauxhall… spelt Russian. People say that Russian engineers studying in London mistook the name of a specific underground station - Vauxhall - as the generic word for station and imported it into their language before anyone realised the mistake.

Thanks for replying to that user. I see other people were happy to push arrow shaped buttons but none of them could be bothered to give an answer.

Amazing. People downvote questions now. Wtf is that all about? It’s almost like it’d be impossible for someone with zero prior knowledge or interest in US/Texan law to have got on the internet…

Never stop asking questions.

Mom, can we have Adolph Hitler?

We have Adoloh Hitler at home.

Adolph Hitler at home.

Yeah, US & UK hip-hop and grime “promotes” cognac quite heavily. There’s even the classic Busta Rhymes joint “Pass the Courvoisier”.

I was thinking of some (gentle) lazy flaming or trolling but your mention of instigating international conflict has inspired me to better myself and aim higher in life. Thank you.

Damn. I’d forgotten “straight” or “bent” were once the only options (looking at you, 1980’s) . Language moves quickly to adapt.

I’d like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a “parody” sticker on a genuine social media post. I know, there’s something wrong with me… but I thought I’d give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.

I’m not sure exactly what the “top level comment rule” is and saw nothing in the side bar that mentioned it. I just wandered in here from my instance… and have now wandered back out of here. Enjoy your day.

The problem is that the lab-meat probably wouldn’t taste the same as the human-meat. I’m reasonably confident that the (minimum) 18 years of living the OF person would have to do impacts and changes the quality and taste of flesh.

It’s possible that the lab-meat would taste like the OF person did when they were a baby… but that opens a whole new door of moral and ethical and legal issues.

If you delete the words “maybe” and “slightly” from your first sentence I will agree 100% with you. It is atrocious behaviour.

We both have different views about how instances should behave - and both have our reasons for why we think what we do. That’s cool.

My mention of “safe space” was in the context of a person who NEVER EVER (sorry for shouting) leaves said space; not in the context of said place being used as a refuge to relax, recharge, recalibrate, revitalise, be your(real)self etc.

P.S. If you steal/stole my user name how do we know that this isn’t you replying to you?
