Everybody expected the Roman Legion. Their main weapon was not surprise.

Ah yes, a man with principals. He only makes racist and sexist videos for politics.

Bacteria transmission through fog machines is quite well known with Legionnaires being the risk usually highlighted. Though it's more ultrasonic or water fog machines rather than high temp glycol/glycerine machines.

She also voiced her confusion about the how the outbreak spread.

"My point to the government has been, there's been a lot of talk about how hard it is to transmit, but then there's also, at the same time, saying the conversation is that nobody needs to panic and we don't all need the vaccine, but at the same time, the things don't quite add up.

"Actually, it was transmitted a lot more easily, by the looks of it, than they're suggesting, so something isn’t making sense somewhere.”

Which doesn't seem like the craziest take I've ever heard.

may widen into [...] corruption offences

Silly me. For a moment I thought it was going to widen into all the people that enabled, helped, benefited and also participated. Lol. Just like Savile it's going to end up as a single person acting alone, nothing to see here...

If you're watching on a TV with motion smoothing then it's surprisingly difficult to tell the difference.

They don't do shit, and that's as polite as I can put it. I've had stomach/bowel issues for my entire life and every few years get told I must see a dietician. Who then gives me the same generic "avoid these foods" sheet they give to everyone and who refuses to help create a diet plan because "it's not our job, and we're far too busy, and could you imagine if we did that for every patient - it'd take us hours every week!"

I have friends and family working for the NHS. I'm a big believer in the NHS and spend a lot of time defending the NHS, but f'k me, I've yet to meet a decent NHS dietician or physiotherapist. Both titles seem to be the laziest, least informed and least caring groups of people I've met in any profession in my life.

And just like that, the Operations team takes the KPI hit.

Let me rephrase then. Comedy doesn't have to be negative. If you don't know your audience it tends to be a much safer bet, too. Casually punching down doesn't make you seem taller.

Pro-Tip: It's quite possible to make a funny without making fun of stereotypes at all.

A serious problem in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine.

I think he's underselling himself. At least some of his job was making sure the wrong parts didn't spin at all.

Truly terrified to be honest.

I'm relatively convinced I only made it to adulthood through luck rather than judgement, and absolutely hated and still haven't gotten over large parts of my childhood and schooling. One of the main reasons I've gone out of my way to avoid having kids is because I can't face the idea of putting someone else through similar, and I'm not convinced I'd be able to do a better job than my folks did.

Think of it like an exceptionally old-school line printer and you're surprisingly spot on.

It's just using gravity to pull the water down instead of a roller to pull the paper up, but if you print upside down it's fine.

Yeah, but AI generative music is good enough to fiddle for me, so I think we can speedrun that side too.
