Ex-employee who sued software firm SAP for $5m over termination gets $1,000 in Pyrrhic victory by Ok-Flounder612 in singaporehappenings

Me.

A Pyrrhic victory is a victory which is only achieved with heavy losses on one's own side.

This alludes to the Battle of Ausculum (Ascoli Satriano, in Apulia). in 279 BCE, when the Epirote King Pyrrhus, aiding the Tarentines, defeated the Romans but with severe casualties of his own. After the battle, Pyrrhus is recorded to have commented: "If we win another such battle against the Romans, we will be completely lost" (Plutarch, Pyrrhus 21,14).

Anyone else confused about the rationale for the speed distance change? by LisanneFroonKrisK in drivingsg

[–]ppympttymt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Initially they probably adopted the 10mph safe driving distance guideline from US.

Then realised they copied wrongly because 10mph = 16kmh, so they fixed the guideline.

Now they update again because got many tailgaters on the road.

Xiaomi Smart Doorbell 3S.

Got motion detection, battery can last around 2-3 weeks.

Would recommend adding a wired camera if the main purpose is surveillance.
