“Winning” is like making it to max level in a mmorpg. It’s not the end but it is the beginning of the endgame.

Doing the lord’s work

But if you don’t glove up and scratch your face, your fingers are contaminated too.

I mean yeah same, but shoving a fistful of cheese onto a slice of bread 4000 times? Not quite the same!

Gloves and mills/lathes are totally a bad combo I agree - if shit gets caught you can easily lose an appendage. But that’s not really a hygiene issue.

I get the contamination risk, but again not really a hygiene issue.

Is there truth to the statement that no gloves can be more sanitary?

Yeah but… remove your gloves before leaving shop floor, put on gloves when entering shop floor is much easier to enforce than “did you wash your hands” - you can catch them blue handed (or not blue handed, as the case may be).

How so?

True. Chef in a restaurant? No problem.

But expecting minimum wage workers doing mindnumbing factory work to do that perfectly every time and never cut corners without significant oversight seems… unlikely.

Also let’s think about why they’re not wearing gloves. Do you think it’s for any reason other than cost cutting?

Nothing mores appetising than ham being described as a “log”

I strongly feel that inner city buses should be council-run and free at the point of use.

Running buses as private companies is dumb. It either means you have multiple companies competing for passengers on the same profitable routes which is inefficient, or a situation where the govt/council have to carefully divvy up routes, which takes away any incentive to do a better job, and incentivises corner-cutting as that’s the only way to increase profit.

More people using the bus is a net benefit. Improves traffic, encourages people to go to commercial areas, increases the utility of expanding routes/timetables, etc. The only possible downsides I can think of are that it may encourage bus use over cycling (though I’d argue that most people aren’t cycling because it’s cheaper, and many cyclists will use alternative transport in bad weather), and drivers will moan (but drivers moan about everything).

I don’t even particularly like taking the bus (personally I’d rather cycle or walk), but it seems like such an easy way to improve quality of life in cities.

Ok so it’s my fault that now someone at Intel knows how much porn I look at because I clicked “next” on a beta driver?

They collect:

The categories of websites you visit, but not the URL itself

The information collected includes categorized web browsing history that shows how long and how often you visited specific categories of sites (i.e. social media, personal finance, or news). All site visits are classified into one of 30 categories. We do not collect URLs, web pages titles, or user-specific content without explicit permission from you.

Software usage: for example, frequency and duration of application usage such as Intel® Driver & Support Assistant, but not the application content itself such as specific actions or keyboard input.

Feature usage: for example, how much RAM you usually use or your laptop’s average battery life.

Other devices in your computing environment

Includes universal plug and play devices and devices that broadcast information to your computer on a local area network: for example, smart TV model and vendor information, and video streaming devices.

(the emphasis is mine, as is the minor reordering to not hide the browsing behaviour stuff at the bottom)

Yeah that’ll be a no from me there, bud.

I know. I don’t disagree. I’m just tired of everything being desperate to collect invasive amounts of information about me.

Because they invariably record way more data than they need to.

How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.

That was awesome. Totally worth sticking with.

The Mirror’s website is shockingly bad

Do they taste of borscht? I bet they taste of borscht.

No part. The part that’s clearly putin ball gargling behaviour is your commentary on it.
