On the bright side, all the car thieves that knew how to open a steering lock have all grown up, so a club lock is probably going to be the best defence outside of a kill switch. Great for road rage, too

Turns out if you go out of your way to not be a sexual deviant, people won’t have a safe word around you. Go, Normie.

Then; “Somebody…”

You didn’t get the message about 5pm singing practice?

Would get him glassed in certain parts of the UK

What about Rocktober savings, and flailing tube person vendors?

Don’t worry, the daddy daughter dance at the chastity ball is 100% normal and cool

And mass casualty events are generally centred around population centres. If a train hits that bus in bumfuck, it’s six hours before triage and transport

Sports Bizarre, bias to Australia but has a whole lot of great stories, delivered as a historical comedy. A six parter on the Corruption of FIFA (The FIFA Ethics committee, Lol.), the St Louis 1904 Olympics, the Paris 1900 Olympics, doping and corruption in the Tour de France.

Alpha Blokes. Aussie comedy and yarns. Trendsetter Talkback are the best episodes, once a week, and the term “Head noise” is now in my parlance

In a GxP environment with bespoke pharmaceutical equipment you are spending anywhere from 1-4000 collective labour hours and anywhere from 50k-250k for a control system upgrade, URS/TRS/SDS, Code risk assessment and review, and Qualification. To give you an idea, on a therapeutic manufacturing plant you’re looking at a handful of two inch binders for the end to end system.

You are also (and more importantly) taking your resources off BAU or revenue generating improvement work for this project. You have a validated and qualified system, and even if you are spending $10-20k for a $500 like for like IPC or control card, the cost benefits of another 5 years is worth it.

If your equipment is a medical device, such as a diagnostic microscope, add another few binders of paperwork and regulator sign off. There’s a reason the equipment is so expensive

If you get into the food industry, or general manufacturing the barriers to upgrade are much less. For your machine shop running floppy disks, it’s a case of the external cost would approach the cost of a new machine, and the existing machine is fine.

As a maintenance professional this is the sort of risk management we conduct on an ongoing basis.

I hope there is a bit of analysis done about new Australians vs how they voted, given they are likely to be even farther removed from the issues

Now it’s making targeted ads that cost less than a broadcast and has a greater conversion rate. Supermarkets and discount stores can use TV, not everyone wants a 20x night time rifle scope at 3pm on a Wednesday during the Bold and the Beautiful

Mental image of “it’s a Me!” thrust

Utopia is still going, up to season 5

Super effective though.
