Huh, TIL. What’s it intended for then?

Totally agree. I’m on restricted duties at the moment so meet all of my clients on teams. I hate it. The audio is terrible so one or both of us is always mishearing, my desk is in front of a window so I have to keep my curtains closed for them to see me. I don’t get to build the same rapport with them and their responses to my questions are more stilted because of it. A large part of my job is judging body language and reading non-verbal cues, which is next to impossible on teams.

And on monday, my computer decided to do a mandatory, 3 hour update, so I missed an appointment and couldn’t access the client’s number to apologise or explain. So I had to text a colleague to run over to the client’s office let them know I wasn’t going to make it

‘What’

Yeah but it’s still a third of the price

Just here to let you all know that mine is currently 1. Living in the middle of nowhere has its benefits, at times

Yes, well done. The US is behind Iraq and Zimbabwe so of course nothing needs to be done in the US until those countries sort their shit out

I think it depends on need vs want. Does she need her cats, friends and most of the crew? No, she just wants them. Most large venues are able to povide staging crew, for instance. I can see a ‘need’ for a stylist or lighting director for example, since a local placeholder just wouldn’t be able to re-create the exact style or look that they want.

But that’s not enough people to warrant a private jet. I think it’d be more justifiable for the plane to be fitted with regular passenger seating and for those seats to be sold to the public as commercial travel

Either or both parent could be responsible depending on the circumstances. Was dad working away and doesn’t own any guns? Not his responsibility. Does mum have 3 guns but all of them were locked away according to strict safety regulations and the child accessed a gun from somewhere else? Also not responsible. Did uncle give the child a gun and tell him to go nuts? Very responsible. Circumstances, and levels of culpability, can vary. If both parents own guns, didn’t secure them properly and failed to monitor or restrict the child’s concerning behaviours then yes, they’re both equally culpable.

I don’t really identify as liberal and not sure what that’s got to do with anything. But regardless, if somebody’s willful negligence leads to multiple deaths then yes, they should be held accountable.

I have a sick (but not dying) sister with 3 kids. As far as work are concerned, I visit every fortnight to help out and rush up to see them every time there’s an emergency or they need childcare.

I haven’t seen the sister in four years and only see my nephews twice a year when they visit Grandma but work don’t need to know that

We don’t need to focus on the details here. If they were strangers, the jury would say something to the effect of, ‘Jennifer failed to prevent undue access to her gun’ or ‘negligently permitted a stranger to have access to her gun’. Ultimately, if it’s her gun, she needs to be in control of it, regardless of the circumstances

Eh, if the child was an adult and they were strangers to each other, I’d still say that the gun owner was culpable for not securing their gun properly. If you own a weapon, it’s your responsibility to know where it is and what it’s doing at any time

More than one person can be responsible for a crime. A burgler might have been the one to break and enter but the accomplice could still have been culpable of staking the house and driving the getaway car.

Use a different coloured pen and write with your left to disguise the handwriting was my trick

I know a Simon Banks who works in a bank. Go figure

Ants with chilli powder is also yum

Yeah but we all know that crochet is the mark of Satan

Knitting is easy to pick up with some yarn and needles for under £5 and a youtube video

Brilliant, thank you

Thank you, good detective work

Looking for a new, non-shot phone. Can anyone ID the one on the left?
