Had one application that would (somethings) give the message: Hey baby, you're an object.
Some users where not amused.
That's definitely fixed my friend.
What are we going to do tomorrow night Brain?
Where's Major Tom?
Seagate - bought 3 of their drives . All 3 failed within a month of the warranty being up. But they said "Warranty is up so suck it"; two can play that game.
They can have him, I don't want him; he's too (everything horrible) for me.
Well, I and my AD&D group tried:
About once a year, we would play an "evil group". We were trying to capture a silver dragon to enslave it (a good creature). To attract it, we locked the men and women of the town in the church and set it on fire. Still not evil enough to get it's attention. So . . . we started throwing the children/babies in the fire too.
That did it!
comparison to electric furnaces. That has been widely known for years to be hilariously inefficient.
By this, I'm thinking you mean "electric resistance heating" - i.e an electric heater.
Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient. Heat pumps can easily be 200%+ efficient.
Funny you should mention this - we must have both worked at the same place.
BLUF - Management required us to mark wrong number calls as "closed, not resolved". Next day I had 6 calls all day (really slow Sat) with 2 wrong numbers. I didn't meet my statistics for 90%+ "first call resolution" - because the idiots in management required me to mark two as "not resolved".
I had to build a spreadsheet and trace in detail all 6 of my calls to show them why.
One of my SOs supervisors actually gave gold stars for good work. These were full grown adults, with children/mortgages/cars and, they thought, professional careers. She had worked there over 30 years when this happened.
Moral was quite affected by this "genius idea"!
Rejects from the plane assembly line. Now that's scary!
