Isn't shower gel pretty much a women's thing? Seems odd that women would buy it because I thought they had more of a conscience about wasteful things yet they buy bottle after bottle of the stuff. A genius at work there(whomever came up with it).ballysmate said:dennisn said:Can't quite understand why a bottle of shampoo would have directions on it. I really want to meet the person who needs directions on how to wash his / her hair.
Can't help but admire the bloke who invented and marketed shower gel. A totally unnecessary overpriced product.2 -

I find it weird you can stick an o onto the end of weird to imply they are weird, you don't call somebody and idioto or a geniuso? Weird!surrey_commuter said:

Nouns and adjectives. See equivalents such as goodie, baddie, thicko, etc.focuszing723 said:

Driving back from work early afternoon, 1/2 day innit, on this road which is a bit of a commuter rat run, I do ride it but go for Sundays when traffic lower. Really not fun in normal times M-F.
One section between village and town c. 3 miles. About 1/2 way there is a traffic hold up. Turns out is a bloke in a mobility scooter. Appears to be stopped at the side of the road. In context of the traffic he looks v small and as wearing dark clothing is low viz.
In my turn I pull out to pass. Bloke is holding his hands in air. Broken down? Do I stop and enquire? Help? Should I get close in these c19 lockdown days as obvs vulnerable?
A: no I didn't. Justification? What sort of 'kin numbnut thinks it ok to take a mobile wheelchair into the ratrun? Where tf did he think he was going?
Haven't seen any news reports that he got minced so my conscience is clear...0 -

I am intrigued as to how a rented e-scooter is safe but a purchased one isn’t...

Yep, certainly a bit odd that. Either they are considered safe enough or not.morstar said:I am intrigued as to how a rented e-scooter is safe but a purchased one isn’t...

The rented ones are only allowed as part of a trial scheme, which can be stopped, and all the scooters can be removed. Also, the ones for the trial scheme have to be limited.focuszing723 said:

Be careful what you wish for with e scooters. They will use bike facilities and the same part of the road as you.kingstongraham said:

There is the fear that roads become a bit like Vietnam, but with scooters.

They will become yet another bane of our lives.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Maybe, but, judging by how censored useless anti-spam filters are at recognising blatantly obvious stuff, there's a while to go yet.focuszing723 said:When AI becomes self aware and there is a new science and technological revolution.

And how would you know when an AI is self-aware? What does "self-aware" even mean?0 -
