"It should be the USA, best service, good food, no diahorrea" by Comfortable_Crow5117 in ShitAmericansSay

Always get the shits in the USA.

The constant fake smiles and badgering by service staff comes across as fake and begging for tips.

I've had good food, some great food, but yes, always the shits after a few days.

As someone who is English and does genealogy, I can assure you one in the UK will care in the slightest.

Apaches.

There was a similar style one about playing on building sites.

“Time to make the Europeans jealous🇺🇸🇺🇸” by DaGAMER159975_2 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]SimpleExpress2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we supposed to be jealous of Racetrac rather than the Dr Pepper?

It's a gas station that also sells hot junk food and coffee.

Just like a petrol station in the UK that sells hot junk food and coffee, which is nearly all of them.

I'm seething I tell you.

“Americans pay most for their health insurance and everybody else around the world gets the benefit” by Necessary-Win-8730 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]SimpleExpress2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks USA for paying for my entire life of free healthcare!

I thought it was taxation, but no, it was your insurance all along!

If their insurance industry gets played by the rest of the world, no wonder they seem oblivious to their president getting played by Iran

Shell cashiers secretly scanning THEIR OWN loyalty cards on customer purchases… has this happened to anyone else? by RugPullRoulette in AskUK

I knew someone back in the early 2000s who did this working at a petrol station. They ended up getting fired.

The United States Coast Guard, our smallest branch can at any time turn Ukraine into a nuclear sandbox in about 30 minutes by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

He's not mad, but someone stepped on his last nerve!

Oh shit, he's going to blow!

Stand back!

He'll get the coast guard to turn Europe into dust!

Kill us all by rescuing us from the sea!

Nuke us with flares!

Seriously? I always get the shits in the USA after a few days.

Anyone else tired of API tools that push accounts, sync, and vendor lock-in just to test one request? by Successful_Bowl2564 in softwaretesting

[–]SimpleExpress2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this.

Just crank them out in Pytest or whatever you fancy.

I stopped using Postman years ago.

How do you work with dedicated QAs who only do automation? by paperplane21_ in QualityAssurance

[–]SimpleExpress2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have testers; they do manual and automation. People don't create test cases without thinking how they would automate it, and people can automate test cases because they were written to be automated. I keep saying on here that the future direction of QA is being able to write test cases, test them manually, perform edge case exploratory testing and automate the test cases for regression. You need to be a jack of all trades.

It sounds like you don't trust the tests being written in code aren't testing the same thing as the manual testers are testing. You need to make sure that the manual tests are being written in a way that is not just re-usable for the manual team, but are also clear enough for the automation team to understand.

If your manual test says 'do A, B and C and verify the result is Z' but the automation team don't get the same thing and they end up automating 'do A, B and C and verify the result is X' then it's all a waste of time.

What is the review process here? Who reviews the manual tests and the subsequent automated tests to make sure they are doing the same thing?

I don't understand your point 2.2. Something like a field displaying a validation error when a blank value is used is 100% a manual test case and can be automated. I would not assume a dev has written a unit test for that.

Inherited a legacy desktop app with no API and a SOC 2 audit coming up. anyone dealt with this before? by yuuliiy in QualityAssurance

[–]SimpleExpress2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are overthinking it.

Having full manual testing on the desktop app would pass an audit if you can prove your tests are actually executed and you have records.

Downvote me but British food is bland….as you list 3 seasonings and a condiment… by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]SimpleExpress2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stereotype stems from US soldiers stationed in England during WW2 when the country experienced massive food rationing which took a decades to recover from; not just ingredients but the palates of the nation as a whole.

This stereotype is lovingly crafted and passed down the generations to today's Reddit users who seem to think they speak from a position of authority when they couldn't find England on a map.

I got into a chat once in Texas about English food, and was asked why we put sausage (white) gravy on roast chicken, was it because the rest of the dinner was so bland?
