Turn up with a bunch of fire engines, and a gas company van. Knock on your door, and 3-4 neighbors on each side, for good measure. Tell there's been a report of a gas leak, and you need everyone to leave their houses/apartments im

But it can also have a different effect. If you don't reply, the requestor does not know if you even read the message, so they might try resolving the problem by themselves. However if you say "I'm busy, will check later&quot

Another anecdata point - an acquaintance got Tesla. And now instead of just rocking up to a nearest petrol station he's in constant mode of planning trips, checking for available charging stations, leaving the car few blocks away for c

Just a crazy idea - they say you can do farming from anywhere using their app. So... What about Farming-as-a-Service. You assign users small patches, where they can do whatever they like, and how they like it, and any surviving vegetables a

I'm not so sure this is a good idea, I'd even say this is quite dangerous. Shock therapy for someone with anxiety and depression might backfire big time. They are anxious already, and you're suggesting going and joining a com

For people like me who can't remember all 100k acronyms: "GIGO" is "Garbage In, Garbage Out". I agree with the sentiment though - a lot of stuff on Amazon are not exactly what is written on the tin, and so when you

Annoyingly there can be slight imbalance. If a smoker takes 10 min break every hour, it's seen as "ok, he's just having a smoke". If a nonsmoker takes the same 10 mins break to check on their phone, or just chill outside

Many moons ago I worked at a computer service shop that also repaired CRTs. Once, as a practical joke, someone asked me to hold a lead... Which was live with around 4kV. Wasn't pleasant experience.

There's quite a lot of hate in the comments for UML is seems. And while a lot of it is quite valid, I have to say that sometimes I miss _some_ of what UML could do, especially in form of documentation. Sometimes a simple sequence diagr

Very good points. One question - any advise how to deal with people who "borrow" your presentation, in other words, they interrupt, and start explaining the concepts for you. It could be out of good will, an attempt to "help&

Simple data design flaw, or the absence of such. "Ms", "Miss", etc is only a title and that's about it. Want a flag child/adult, well, add it then. Or better yet, use age to determine average weight even more a

Usually this has a tendency to propagate, in my experience. The deadlines come from above and/or externally dictated. So even if you have balls to say a), your boss (or your boss' boss, etc) may not, or they might have different a

I hope this is going to take off. I'd happily take a stroll across a park to a shared workspace, then go back home, rather than spend 3 hours commuting. The problem (not for me, but potentially for my employer) is that I will not be si
