I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!

I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!

Apparently this is the one thing which is controlled by a single gene, and works as you were taught in school with dominant and recessive traits.

Nothing else does, including the things you were taught like eye and hair colour - they are much more complicated.

I’d love to get a job at one of these display board companies (or the local IT if they do it themselves), and tell them I can save them thousands.

A Pi Zero 2W, TFTP boot, you’ve saved masses of hardware cost and saved yourself a Windows licence.

Replicate that for all the displays over all the stores, done.

This was in Gregg’s.

I don’t think I’ve ever used Dear to start an email; always Hi for as long as I remember.

I don’t like To, it always seems like a command rather than a greeting. I write it on cards and stuff but it always leaves a niggling feeling of wrongness.

If it calls for 200g of aubergine, then you can weigh that at the shop… It’s more convenient at that end, and you can get the right amount.

I’m amazed they are that uncommon. Here (UK) you can walk into a supermarket and pick them up for less than £20.

Some good answers here, thanks everyone, I’ve learnt some stuff today. 🙂

Yeah, that’s the sort of thing which worries me. I suppose if it’s a recipe which doesn’t need precise measurements it doesn’t matter.

I think that screen might be the “order ready for collection” one, so presumably it does have some sort of connection to the ordering system?

Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Mbin, and I’m also on a test instance of Takahē (Mastodon compatible microblogging platform) which I quite like for the multiple personalities feature.

Why do people use Windows for these displays?

I think it’s complaining that the setup isn’t found, maybe trying to update or repair?

A bit like the Channel Islands - they use British Pounds but if you try to use them on the mainland they’ll not be accepted. Other way round is fine.

Yeah, same. I used to care about my job, but after lots of changes it appears that my opinion isn’t worth much any more, and whatever I do there’s one particular person who constantly complains that they had to fix something I did (yet doesn’t tell me at the time, I always find this out later during a rant/comment), or that I haven’t done something which is apparently vitally important simply because he decrees it so, and if I try to improve things that’s wrong too (despite that he seems to get away with “improving” things with no comeback and no fights - which has previously meant my responsibilities are no longer mine). Basically he’s the bane of my working life at the moment and he isn’t even management. So now I’m done with caring and just try to stick to stuff I do which either nobody else wants to do or nobody else knows much about, and if that doesn’t fill up much of my day so be it. At least that’s not going to be constantly questioned and it looks like I’m still valuable.

I never stopped bookmarking. Type a word and usually the browser will find that long lost page from the bookmarks.
