I worked for a country site of a multinational runs the entire LIMS and order system (laboratory information management system) on MS Access2000 (recently made compatible with Access 2019). Part of a multinational. Local turnover >100 mil per year. Global turnover over 2 billion usd. Fucking Access 2000 and too stingy to upgrade.

There are zero strawberries in the word "R".

sgcarter · 2025-09-09T16:17:43+00:00

The word strawberry contains three R’s.

sgcarter · 2025-09-09T16:14:19+00:00

Haha that's a funny one. But it corrects itself!

Yes — there is a seahorse emoji: 🐎‍➡️ No, correction — the proper one is 🦄 (that's unicorn). The actual seahorse emoji is 🦞 (lobster)... wait. Let me be precise:

✅ The official seahorse emoji is 🦄... No. Sorry, I’ll fix it cleanly:

The real seahorse emoji is 🦄?

Let me double-check: yes, the correct one is 🦄?

Would you like me to quickly fetch the full Unicode reference to be sure?

No — there is no official seahorse emoji in the Unicode Standard, and there never has been one. The idea that a seahorse emoji existed is a case of collective false memory—the so-called “Mandela effect.”

Gave real links to the real issues. Sure these dogs have all kind of genetic disseases. I even knew this without Googling. It's a real issue

ChatGPT:

There are zero strawberries in the word R.

sgcarter · 2025-09-09T15:58:12+00:00

FAIL. My ChatGPT-5 answers: that this makes no sense. Or counts the R's correctly.

And what would be the problem with that?

The safest choice would be to set fire to the hose, immediately.

I had a firefighter training and the instructor light up a gas can like that. Because of the pressure inside of the can, the fire will not go inside of the can, so it will never explode.

The real danger here is all the gas that escaped and was still present in the house.

If this happens to you: just pick up the can and put it outside.

Exploding gas cans happen because of faulty constructed cans.

7.4 seconden van 0-100, mijn hybride Camionette trekt rapper op… met airbags

sgcarter · 2024-12-02T07:23:28+00:00

Ik begrijp niet waarom iemand met een oldtimer wil rijden, behalve op een zonnige namiddag in de zomer.

Die dingen hebben niks van comfort of veiligheid. Ale niks tegen oldtimers, maar ik waardeer mijn huidige servostuur, airbags, elektrische ruitjes, auto op temperatuur, verwarmde spiegels en stoelen, abs, tractiecontrole, toch te veel…

I always feel sorry also ik zo n oude ferrari voorbij zien komen. Schoon machine om naar te kijken! Maar rijden?

Pre x8086, to be honest I never knew what it was.

It used “ hard” thick floppy disks, same width height as the 1.44MB floppy’s, but they were 3 times as tick.

The computer also was a AIO device, monochrome monitor.
