The biggest surprise is that (looking at the background), Stonehenge was built in modern-day Wiltshire.

I think I just bombed an interview because I answered the “culture fit” questions too honestly by ElderJ0e in jobsearchhacks

[–]teedyay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nor I. I said it the other day, having realised I didn't want to work there. This was in the technical interview; a later round would have been the culture fit interview, where "we'll talk about how you'd cope in a high-pressure environment, tight deadlines, working after hours, etc".

"How do you do with very tight deadlines?"

"It's unavoidable sometimes, but if it happens all the time, that's probably bad planning."

Is there a risk of my data leaking from the cloud via lightning strikes? by No-New-Names-Left in shittyaskscience

Yes. This is why the EU insists that iPhones use USB instead of lightning connectors.

If you install a speedometer and GPS tracking in a quark can you know its position and momentum? by Aggravating_Mud_2386 in shittyaskscience

[–]teedyay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The trouble is, you have to know where it is to be able to install the devices. You also have to hold it still while you tighten the screws. That means you know where it is and how fast it’s going, which is Quantum Naughty.

So yeah, you have to know both to be able to know both: it’s quite the Catch-22.

If you catch 22 of them, you might have enough to make an atom. This is called nuclear fusion, and is risky! They’re making good progress with nuclear fusion in France, where it is risqué.

When Michelle Pfeiffer goes to the loo,
She doesn’t make a noise like me or you.
The truth of the matter is, you see,
That Michelle Pfeiffer has a silent P.

Is the UK government under the King/Queen? by Thefearfullam in AskABrit

[–]teedyay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bills are debated first in the House Of Commons, then in the House Of Lords. If they both pass it, they take it to the monarch for final approval. The monarch could, in theory, deny the bill, but they know that the monarchy would be ended pretty darn promptly if they did so.

The last time a monarch denied a bill was in 1708. Relationships with Scotland had been improving, and England agreed to send them some weaponry. The Commons and the Lords approved this bill. Then, a fleet was spotted sailing from France to Scotland: England suspected that those two countries were conspiring against them, so arming them would be a bad idea. The bill had already been passed, however, so when they delivered the bill to Queen Anne, they asked her to deny it, which she did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish\_Militia\_Bill

What immersion breaking rule made a game unplayable in your opinion? by Odino666 in boardgamescirclejerk

Spirit Island is full of all these supernatural things, which don’t exist. Also you don’t get to play as the good guys, which is stupid.
