So why do patients have to pay the fee, why doesn’t the hospital have some system where they go oh yeah, this person with this registration plate has been admitted, leave them alone?

Why is it on the patient who may very well have a lot more going on than simple pain to arrange matters.

Because if I had overstayed my 3-hour limit I would have absolutely been charged. They use the excuse of needing to keep spaces open as an excuse to charge people. It’s nothing more than exploitative.

I’m not sure any game involving Trump could be considered chess.

It gets somewhat retconned in the TV series though where he’s basically just this political genius who secretly runs everything.

The TV show is a lot better than it has any right to be, it’s a shame it only got one season.

This is nice to be confused with shit porn. Which is just not very good.

And I want none of this healthy diet and exercise BS from the nutritionists either. I want to peel or an injection not salad.

Surely the federal government doesn’t actually have the authority to mandate this. Business regulations are always a state matter.

For most robots in factories the safety system is don’t go near it. Because no one can guarantee that the robot will stop in time.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

As much as I would love to go over to a purely Linux system there just isn’t the support. I would not relish the prospect of trying to administer 5,000 laptops, and 300 desktops without the benefit of active directory user groups. Even with all of the messing about that Microsoft has done with Entra, it is still a far better mass device management platform than anything available on Linux and Apple haven’t even tried.

No the keyboard is important. There are so many truly awful keyboards out there that have no travel on the keys.

I absolutely cannot stand the keyboard on the MacBook air. It’s so incredibly cheap and it appears to be made out of the same material that they package luxury chocolates in.

No contest isn’t a dismissal. It’s just means that you are not pleading guilty, but are accepting the courts ruling.

I’ve never understood how it can even be legal for hospitals to have parking fees for patients. It’s not like you became ill simply to take advantage of the parking situation so why are they charging people?

I had to go to hospital because of a seven tendon. Which I thought would probably be a quick fix but they were complications so it took forever and I had to get my girlfriend who had known for about 2 weeks at this point to move the car too long to stay. I did not consider ever the possibility that the parking people would just be reasonable

Not everything is made by AI it’s literally a photograph of a book I own.

My shower isn’t even connected to the hot water supply, it’s on the cold water supply and then just has a heating element capable of raising the temperature of the water running through it to a temperature slightly cooler than that of core of the sun.

The only problem with electric showers is they have to have their own circuit breaker, which makes them difficult to install unless you’re going to rip half the house apart anyway.

It’ll just be that a lot of password systems insist on a number in a special character.

There was a post on here a while ago about the most popular four digit PIN numbers. I think the top five were

1234
7890
1212
1111
And 1701

We’re are all so original

For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.

Remind me of this book I own

Looks like it’s from formula 1, which is more of an emotional hothouse than your average high school.

So apparently the way it works is that you either have no money at all, or a Ferrari for every day of the week, and there’s no possible in between?

What if I just have top of the range Mercedes money, will I be happy then?
