Not knowing the ASL prompt casts some doubt on your claim to remember the internet back then. Knowing someone's age, sex and location was some useful context even if dating wasn't the aim.

I wiped it after I left my last job so there's next to nothing on it anyway now. They did give me a laptop but due to a stupid conflict between the AV and VPN one of the processor threads was maxed out causing the fan to run on full noise mode all the time.

My laptop still works perfectly well so if Microsoft don't want to support it any more then I'll bung Linux on it. I've already got my Mint stick ready, just need to get round to it.

It's up to the American standards, for what that's worth. The chlorine washing makes the meat safe, because the process results in unsafe meat, causing danger to workers (and [speculation]possibly undue suffering for the birds). The EU processes result in meat that doesn't need to be chlorine washed because the process ensures it is safe.

So the problem with chlorine washing is not in the end product but in the process that creates it. It's the EU concern for worker safety that makes chlorine washed chicken problematic.

I'm not defending the USA here and I oppose imports of chlorinated chicken. Just want to ensure the ire is projected in the appropriate direction. If God forbid that idiot Farage gets some power and we end up with chlorinated chicken then it should be clearly labelled as such so that the British consumer can make an informed FUCK OFF.

The UK can't allow the import of chlorinated chicken because then that would shut down our chicken trading, at least, and probably a lot more, with the EU, which is a bigger market than the American one, by about 30%. Fart's team obviously knows this.

It is a fucking stupid question. I'm supposed to invent some horse shit about why this is an awesome company that I specifically chose, and simply being truthful "you're recruiting and I need a job" isn't acceptable.

Null pwang! Maybe I should consider entering Eurovision.

If Orbán gets "sanctioned" maybe Slovakia will start to think twice about biting the hand that feeds it. And if they also continue to push the Russian agenda then we'll have an established protocol to deal with them.

Well it was only a matter of time. Keep voting in Poo-tin's interests and the shit will inevitably hit the Orfán.

It's an abbreviation for Command Line Interface To Objects Residing In System. A lot of male programmers can't find it.

One's the apex king of the jungle, the other is the king of the apex jumble.

Just about anything by Betterware. The one that sticks in my mind was the non-stick stick-on hook that lasted for all of a minute before falling off under its own weight. I ended up second guessing how the thing they were selling could possibly go wrong, and if I could think of something then I wouldn't get it.

There is one Betterware item that's lasted the years though. A hair trap for the sink. It's a metal disk with holes punched in it. Hard for that not to work, really.

Also, increasingly, tat off Scamazon.

Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?
