Got invited to a "business event" by a friend. Turns out to be a pyramid scheme. On one side there were a lot of good speakers there, life development etc which is fine and all but.. feeling sorry for my friend buying into this .

Hate those things and how people seem to get suckered in. Are they banned in yr country like the UK?

 

[Moriath]

So I found some jeans on Amazon, and like, er, they came, and er, they looked a bit odd, so I er, googled their name.. I'll let you finish.

Did you not point out he was being a fucking idiot?

Oh you poor innocent flower you

Yes Edmond so very very *chuckles*

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Considering we change the clocks twice annually, is that strictly correct?

Yes. When you consider a clock being broken to mean that it doesn't work at all then it will still show the correct time twice a day. Daylight savings or not.

I didn't have the balls or thought it was my right to crush his dream you know.

Its spastics like this that are going to get public drone use banned in their infancy.

Nah, if your mate is going to lose a lot of cash then it's yer job to point it out tbh. It's not "crushing his dreams" - it's stopping your mate being taken for a fool and saving him a lot of heartache - and cash that he could spend on something else.

I'd have stood up in the middle of the presentation and loudly "informed" the presenter that this was a pyramid scam before walking out.

Had a terrible experience this weekend..I'm slightly claustrophobic but the wife has it very bad..she cant travel in the back of two doors..get in lifts etc..we are being driven around by her sister in a brand new Kia Ceed..we stop and the sister goes to do a little shopping leaving us in the car..absent mindingly she presses the fob and locks the car...the wife panics and goes for the handle..nothing its fucking lock by wire..the door handles are just switches so I'm trying to calm her down looking for the dash door open..its disabled as well..by this time shes screaming..the fucking piece of shit completely locks you in with deadlocks and no electric windows with NO manual override whatsoever..so Im looking at the windows thinking its a big step to go for smashing one..by this time the wife is hyperventilating and things are getting serious..
I'm blowing the horn and a biker came over and ran too get her sister who flew over and unlocked the door seconds before I was about to kick a window.through the wife.fell out sobbing and wouldnt get back in the car...just un fucking believable that this could happen..I.have written to the car safety.department..imagine if the fob went wrong or some electrical fault locked the car on a hot day..the windows are so small and tough these days I dont think the wife could kick one out with just her feet..she is still traumatised..it was just.horrendous.

Yes. When you consider a clock being broken to mean that it doesn't work at all then it will still show the correct time twice a day. Daylight savings or not.

I think what Tom was actually meaning was, given that the clocks change, if the clock broke between 1 and 2 o'clock it would have been correct 3 times on Sunday 26th October 2014. However when it comes to the next time the clocks change, on March 29th 2015, that clock would only be correct one. Therefore the average over the year would be twice a day.

On an interesting note (I mean exceeding boring), the clocks in Russia went back for the last time, as they are abandoning summer time, therefore if you had a watch in Russia that broke this summer while pointing at the correct time window, this will have been correct 3 times on October 26th and then twice a day in future. There is probably some bad joke to be made about how in Soviet Russia broken clocks are more accurate than their western counterparts.

Child safety trumps claustrophobia, (sorry, but statistically it just does). Also, if there was an electrical fault the car could be opened with the key from the outside, and the test of a reasonable man is you don't lock anyone (person or animal) in a car on a hot day anyway.

Most cars that have keyless entry and such have a simple lock button near the gear changer but even then if you have locked the doors you can still just unlock them by pulling the door handle (driver door at least!)

Otherwise they should be avoiding for placing everyone in the "needs protecting pile"

O2 recently tried to put a child lock on my phone which meant I had to opt-in to look at porn and such on my phone (in reality it blocks all sorts of every day stuff) I went fucking mental at them, telling them I do not have kids, kids do not access my phone and that they should fuck off with their antics.

Why should my life be made more awkward to protect some fucking kid because their parents are too dumb too look after them. Anyway, when the contract is up in a few months that's the reason I am giving for binning them.

You can unlock with the key either fob or turn..but the door lock is just a switch that tells the computer to unlock the doors..there is no mechanical movement except the solenoids in the lock buried deep in the doors..if the car battery went flat while locked the car would be fully locked..you wouldnt be able to even pull the bonnet without smashing your way in or maybe jumping to a battery from under the car or some secret connector there might be...I have worked on many cars..changed doors..locks..fitted central locking but I have never in my life seen anything so potentially dangerous...it reminds me of the claim recently that a murder will be committed over the net within five years...hack the wireless entry on a hot day and lock a passenger in who isnt strong enough to smash their way out.
Ill never buy a car with software only locking.

 

[Moriath]

Yes. When you consider a clock being broken to mean that it doesn't work at all then it will still show the correct time twice a day. Daylight savings or not.

Twice a year that would be wrong if it broke between one and two.

One time it would be right three times in a day. And spring forward it would only be right once.

sounds a well shite experience @Job. hope you and Mrs Job will be ok.

Wait what, Job is married?

That's what you took from that?

He trapped her in a small space until she agreed to be his wife.

Any car with deadlocks will do the same, mechanical linkage or not.

And they can go fuk off with driverless cars..that will NEVER happen this century...just too much to go wrong.

Yeah, they will. One day it will be mandatory.

Would swap to one in a heartbeat.

150mph on the motorway, door-to-door, playing scrabble with a mate or getting drunk.

Not arriving tired at your UK destination for. the. win.

Which would be great, but the reality would probably be a blanket 50mph and you still have to sit at the controls "just in case". I can't imagine a scenario where politicians can't figure out a way to fuck motorists over.
