Some people have this incredibly annoying habit of seeing anything remotely tech related as magic and they switch off their brain, assuming that they could never understand it.

Them: "My computer is broken"

Me:"Whats the issue?"

Them: "i dont know, i tried to open my email and its got some error message and wont open"

Me:" what does the error message say?"

Them:"err, cannot open email during update, please wait until update is complete"

Me:"is your email app updating?"

Them:"yes.

Me:"wait for it to finish and try again..."

(Obviously tbats not a real scenario, but im not good at examples and just wanted to get the general gist across)

I always really liked that NTP uses port 123 which is the same number that you can dial, in the uk, on a analogue, landline phone, to call an automated service that tells you the precise time.

Im in the uk and my entire dick and balls go fully into the water, around the ubend, down the pipes to the large waste pipe, fill the entire waste pipe and then go all the way to the sewage treatment facility where they have a 9 to 5 cleaning shitty water. They earn more money than i do, and frankly, they are sustaining our life.

Sometimes, we fight, but then i remember my dick has it harder than i do.

Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?

IE: What is my purpose?

Me: You download Chrome!

IE: Oh...my god!

Now Chrome isn't trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there's almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.

I was a chef for 10 years and worked in multiple kitchens. This just isnt true. At least its not a blanket rule.

Ive worked in cheap places with immaculate kitchens and posh places with grotty kitchens and vice versa.

Its luck of the draw sometimes but ive never EVER served food that fell on the floor or witnessed it happening.

I think you have likely worked in some bad places.

No one going to bring up the fact that adobe is an anagram of abode?

They got their abode with adobe! This is no coincidence! I'm inclined to say this goes all the way to the top!

Bit of a leap, my dude.

Of course we should have laws.

But for things that are actually harmful.

For everything else we should have regulation.

When theres literally people in the UK screaming about NHS workers getting a 5% pay rise when NHS workers earn significantly less than they would doing the same work in the private sector and considering that people actually get free healthcare from the people wjo got this pitiful raise is absolutely soul destroying. Especially when you take this meme into account.

Trying to stop people from doing something is a sure fire way to guarantee they will do that thing.
