When you stop countering statements about averages, trends and generalities with specific anecdotes about outliers you might be qualified to use "numbers" and "statistics".
Ever seen a waiver that contains the words "... including, but not limited to...".
That's pointing out the difference between an exhaustive set and an example. Every time someone gives you the latter, you claim it's invalid because it's not the former.
Perhaps you should get a woman to explain it to you. They're supposedly better at reading than men.
I have no idea where the UK is, but I know you don't have guns. This is why you rely one nancy-state protectionism like this.
if you truly had a free market like the USA does there'd be no need for this.
You should put your big-boy pants on and negotiate a better deal with your ISP. May be you can't because it's owned by the quean like everything else over there.
There is almost never a need to even take the new cords out of wrapping.
In a way you're right. I too have loads of the bastards.
I try to have at least one of each type in the lounge, one of each type in my work bag and the rest live in my office/lair/lab, where I can never find the one I need even though I have at least nineteen of them because the place is a fucking tip.
But yet, you see them in stores. So presumably somebody is buying them, which implies somebody doesn't have one already.
You must be a right clumsy bastard. I've had two fail, ever.
Now sometimes you get a particular USB cable which doesn't work with a particular device. Get a grown-up (a mohel if you can find one already) to trim a couple of mm off the insulation.
The retail package needs to include everything you need to actually turn on and use the phone, so the power supply has to ship with it.
Is this a marketing axiom, a religious tenet, a legal requirement (where - believe it or not, laws vary from place to place) or did you just pull that out of your fat arse?
I remember seeing a woman on TV who had all her giblets and stuff the wrong way round - so it was the left ventricle that went to the lungs and the right to the aorta and so on. Total mirror image.
Still, at least the manufacturers aren't doing it deliberately. I doubt I'll upgrade from Chimpanzee 3.0 SP2.
One engineer can build a fire. Two or more will still be arguing about whether to optimise it for light, heat, efficiency, ease of use etc when the rescuers arrive.

How long does mercury take to break down? How about cadmium?
Do diapers cause birth defects in the period before they break down?
If you're going to correct people you might try actually being correct.
The one day you finish running the backup at 2 a.m., unplug the thing and rub your eyes.
Or at least seasoned them properly.

I don't think anyone claimed that.
Thought experiment: is it theoretically possible that a characteristic that's good for attaining a job might not be good for doing that job?
I wonder if there was a Triceratops Malthus. I wonder if there was a Triceratops you.
It's a hoax started by the Brachiosaurs. So much for science.
So not reversible on anything approaching a convenient timescale.
Do you think you and your pals can hole up at Galt's Gulch for a few thousand years?
I feel physical pain when I see a cable like that.
I'm planning to tidy up next week. I wouldn't be surprised if I find at least one Japanese soldier who doesn't believe the wars over.
I could easily jump to a conclusion here. But really it's not even a jump, barely even a shuffle.
STFU, Ivan.
I bet some of them will be black too!
Silliness aside, hasn't it always been the case?
Looks like Super Kendalll has lost his password.

While that's true, high end gaming laptops[1] are somewhat out of the scope of this discussion.
I know people don't RTFA, but you could at least RTFT(ETBTS"MP").
[1] Note the lack of capitalization. Are you a fucking German or something?
Piss and shit are organic and go away pretty quickly on their own. Heavy metals & plastic, not so much.
Spin the wheel ... your logical fallacy is: fake equivalence.
At the very least it seems more efficient than writing one and then ignoring it.
You are, of course, right.
I remember seeing a woman on TV who had all her giblets and stuff the wrong way round - so it was the left ventricle that went to the lungs and the right to the aorta and so on. Total mirror image.

Hasn't it always been like that, for pretty much everything? Diminishing returns and all that.
Bill Of Materials.
It's industrial jargon for "parts list". It's also commonly used by twats.
Not even a blockchain?
I thought he was speaking Yiddish.
