  • I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

    He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

    This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

    Noped right out of there and bought German.


  • When I travelled to the states I was absolutely horrified to find medications for things that only a doctor should prescribe being recommend directly to consumers “Speak to your doctor about X today!”

    We have ads for heartburn meds and simple painkillers, but to see immunosuppressants and diabetes treatments marketed to consumers is shocking and absolutely will drive poorer outcomes for patients as they try and force the issue with their GP without the medical beckground to understand the effecacy of that medicine.

    Hahahah, imagine going to another country and trying to pay in another currency and being shocked they wouldn’t accept it.

    I can’t even spend Scottish notes in England when it’s all Sterling, never mind trying to pay for a small shop coffee in dollars.

    This is innovation, and problem solving the small stuff is a very important skill in the modern day work environment.

    Do I wasn’t to hand calculate an entire statistical analysis, no. I use excell.

    It doesn’t make the work any more or less valid. If you can Google something in under a minute, don’t bother spending a tonne of time trying to remember it.
