Apply for a contract online on Monday, deviced delivered on Wednesday morning.

Anglisismes. On the radio yesterday talking about obese people. So in Afrikaans they call it Obees. WTF. Afrikaans for obese = Fokken vet.

Mense wat nie hulle taal ken nie, of glad nie moeite wil doen om die regte woord/benaming op te soek nie.

What is an ATM? I remember back in the past a device that would dipense money from it. But you had to use a card? Nowadays I don't touch that vile "paper" stuff as much as possible.

give it a bit of time - when Coronachan makes her presence known, you will not want to use any ATM at all...

When users don't like the answers you give or are unwilling to help you help them.

User: Our cards are not working.
Me: Okay, there is something else affecting us at the moment so its not our system. I need you to run a few tests over the phone with me so I can be certain where the prob...-
User: *Mumbles something and puts phone down in my ear*

Lekker. Enjoy struggling for the rest of the day because it looks like I will be too busy to come out and help you.

Lazy field techs not wanting to phone in and arsk for passwords, they just copypasta from a database.

Guess what. Database passwords are encrypted. Now nothing is transferring via FTP. Derr durp burpshhhh.

It was by chance that I picked this up, was trolling the FTP logs for some weird and funky stuff, then noticed a couple of "incorrect password" entries, and digged a bit.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Seeing your most favorite people on tv/internet in absolutely awful content.

Talking about Drivetribe, we already see so little of the Trio now the bit that we get is schite, clickbaity, sponsored, insincere advertisement revenue generating short snips of Hemlock.

Dept of Health fumbling their only chance to contain @Coronachan

Not surprising, given their track record.

There was never any chance to contain this.

The fact that people can be contagious for weeks with zero symptoms, and testing taking time and thus impossible to do at ports of entry, means there is no way.
