The problem I see with certifications is that a lot of them tend to have trivia questions that are easy to look up but relatively unimportant, e.g. naming restrictions on azure resources is one the comes to mind. I'm currently followin

Do you think so? I know some employers do care but more to be able to claim X consultants certified in tech Y than as a guide for hiring. Capgemini are pretty big on certs but most people we hired didn't have them, just got them after

Not OP but I think that the comment about both TV and radio on at the same time was more generic than that. I'd argue that it's a known fact, at least for anybody that follows any mainstream sport, that sports radio commentary is

I know it would be relatively trivial to circumvent, but it seems to be blocked for me (UK with Virgin Media). Interestingly, it fails to load at all using the domain name and when I tried the IP address, I got this message: Sorry, this pag

I guess it depends on whether CERN merits academic status or not. If it does, then this is fine. If it doesn't then I agree. It seems to me that CERN is a research institute but whether that is counted as an academic institution, from

I suppose it's a matter of expectations. I don't recall the last time that outright spam made it to my inbox. For stuff that I forgot to tick, or untick, the right box, once marked as spam it never gets through again.

Massive kitty litter boxes in all/most parks? Tongue firmly in cheek by the way.

An interesting take. As a cyclist, cats generally don't bother me, but dogs can be a massive nuisance. It's no fun being chased by a snarling dog on a steep incline. I do occasionally stop and "confront" them to try to

It never use to bother me, perhaps because we didn't have a TV for so long, so watching a movie or a TV episode was a bit of an event: Power Up Modem, Power up old PC, load Chrome, Fire up Netflix and a good 2 minutes had elapsed. Now

I remember a few years back being dismayed when I plugged my brand new DAB radio into my Kill-A-Watt and rather than register nothing like the FM radio that it was substituting, it was showing ~ 4 W, going up to ~ 6 W when playing.
