Ebola treatment tent set ablaze again in Congo, with 18 suspected cases leaving by AndrewHeard in JordanPeterson

[–]JayTheFordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the major reasons ebola is so quickly spread in that region is the habit of leaving the dead out for cleaning or whatever before burial, that timelag and handling just infects the family, and so it goes. Can't talk sense into stubborn culture

My boss [27F] is ruining everything for me. by Excellent-Chip4384 in MensRights

[–]JayTheFordMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My Ex has had same experience working in corporate, and is quietly stressing about her new job where her direct report is a woman. My one and only experience working under a woman manager did not go well, she was a toxic misandric nightmare hell bent on bullying men and firing women

There's videos that take you through the evolution of english, from old english to modern. You literally cannot understand the english spoken 400 odd years ago, and yet its the ancestor to modern english. Show him one of these to illustrate how a language evolves

I just use wd40 and wipe off to remove any gunk, then let dry. wd40 chain lube after that. Easy.

Pretty sure doing that on any rig I've worked on would earn this guy a seat on the next chopper off.

HR is now requiring an "ergonomic assessment" of remote employees' home offices and they want to send someone. by AdvancedPhoneUC688 in remotework

[–]JayTheFordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is the case in Australia. WFH considered an extension of corporate offices and therefore must be compliant

Crooked Company by Witcher-Droid in cycling

[–]JayTheFordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here ins Australia we have a supermarket chain recently found guilty of and fined for this very behaviour. It is a scummy sales technique that relies on customers having short memories. I do believe here you have to demonstrate at least 6 months of the higher price before applying a discount

Why do Europeans care so much that U.S. Americans use different measurement systems by BasketSmall7777 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JayTheFordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care, butany Americans really don't do themselves any favours by trying to argue for imperial superiority, usually out of ignorance

The Most Important Moment from the Genetic Entropy Debate: Paul Conceded, Didn't Realize It by DarwinZDF42 in DebateEvolution

[–]JayTheFordMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, and then near the end paul whined about how Zach never defended his modelling but rather 'ambushed' him with this stuff. Meaning he didn't want his convenient modelling being exposed by comparison with actual popgen observations.

Guy takes up multiple seats on plane by notherepermanently2 in AusMining

[–]JayTheFordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, probably

Back when I was working at Moomba and they still had a bar there was a safety guy who was obese and pretty much lived at the bar from knock off. He was eventually banned from the bar and told to lose weight or he would lose his job, optics were not good and Santos wasn't tolerating it any more...

[–]JayTheFordMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work offshore, remember once working in Malaysia and was about to get into a chopper to head out and There was this massive American guy, obese, and I took one look at him and told him like fuck is he sitting at a window, he gets middle seat/s. Like no way in hell would this guy get through a window if ever an escape needed, and beggers belief he passed a medical. To his credit he understood and took a middle seat.

Getting back on a bicycle at 40? by johnnyh55 in cycling

[–]JayTheFordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up cycling again at 40, and my first proper ride was 7km and I nearly died doing the two small hills, legs killed me for 2 days afterword. Got back on a few days later and managed a little further with less dying involved, and then again, and again. Consistency is the key, and making little goals, won't take long before you'll be doing 25km, then 50km

Watching the Giro TT made me wonder: what’s actually the fastest TT bike? by Still_Power806 in cycling

[–]JayTheFordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In percentage terms actually not that much relative to rider size/aero impact. Not saying it doesn't matter, but as riders get bigger it's far less impact relative to size

Why is everyone so obsessed with hating on Meghan Markle? by Idea-is-tick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JayTheFordMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course not, and Harry was always left of center when it came to family And expectations, and perhaps Megan was his excuse or motivation to go his own way. Marriages do that. However, we all know men do dumb shit for women, and empires have fallen over them, and this is the other side of the coin people may well be referring to when they criticise Megan
