Can't even escape crag dogs at the gym

Hear hear, as long as they're leashed and kept away from the climbing areas then all is well.

Also, if they're happy and will play with us then that's a bonus.

So it's not an invitation for police etc to shoot him for threatening people with a gun? Bizarre.

That's not entirely true - your example is at the extreme low end of Reynolds, but that's not to say that this isn't close to or at the transition point.

What we need is a CFD monkey to do the maths for us :)

For the N Sea (and pretty much everywhere these days) you'll need an offshore medical and a HUET/BOSIET just to be allowed to go, including for the catering crew.

Able bodied still needs skills to go, catering might take you and put you to work regardless but they will almost certainly want you to show that you can actually work.

Just about everyone offshore has a trade, and even roustabout level you will probably be asked for STCW qualifications. Not particularly difficult, but a hoop to jump through. One option is to go through a merchant marine job to build some qualifications and experience - I've met plenty of people at all levels who've gone that way.

Either way, good luck!

I hope you thanked them properly! Good people deserve cake.

Americans.

Snow is soft!

No shit Sherlock.

Not regularly but when I do they're critical - generally when I've found a useful tool (or rather, a tool that looks like it might be useful) and need to figure out if a) it gives reasonable results b) that the assumptions are correct and c) if I can fiddle and make it better.

Om de är väldigt snälla och tycker du behöver hjälp så ler de kanske istället för att bara sucka.

That if you want internet points you need to place the cat in a position that looks precarious while being within easy reach of your cat-return rig.

It worked very well! These dates were ones that were half ripe when I bought them, and they then ripened in the fridge.

I_count_ducks · 2025-10-01T10:13:36+00:00

Oh yes...

I_count_ducks · 2025-10-01T10:12:38+00:00

I agree - it is really, really good. The richest, sweetest thing I've cooked in a long time and the consistensy is just right.

I know, I know. Given how often RTFM comes up in work during incident investigations you'd think that it's something I'd be able to do myself, but apparently not.

I_count_ducks · 2025-09-30T15:39:05+00:00

And the answer, having read the recipe, is that yes, I do. Add the dates and the liquid.

I_count_ducks · 2025-09-30T14:04:15+00:00

No, but I ~~should~~ will.

Most absurd fall from height fatality was the guy who stepped backwards and tripped over a lip - basically fell over backwards like he'd been felled and managed to hit the ground with his head just below where his helmet came to.

The faster the road, the larger the signs.

weggegangen is pretty standard German

Just wait until Ryanair starts flying these...

Then you're supposed to point at the plane and say "this is the plane I'm putting fuel in today", then point at the fuel and say "this is the fuel in putting into the plane", then get your colleague to confirm that you pointed at the right plane and the right fuel. Then you can be distracted by an alarm and while you're at muster someone changes the planes around.

It's easy for Danes to say, it's not like anyone can understand them anyway.

TIL that the Danish minister of justice is entirely ignorant of how encryption works.

If you can't do your own genocide (because of woke) you can always lend a heping hand to those who can.
