interesting enough i was talking about the same type of situation with a certain ethnic group of light truck drivers , as we had on come in to make a delivery to us the other day with something no one knew about and with the little attention we could draw out of him was "its for you" cant tell us where from what it is which department or even company just that it had to be delivered at this address , all the while hes giving his utmost attention to his phones earpiece which i almost took off of him to get his attention

turns out they are side lining in telemarketing whist driving their small parcel delivery trucks

No new pub.
No official stickers available.

If Twiggy Forrest has coin for RMW, I’m sure he can sort the pub with pocket change.

All is not lost. From the The Land Oct 2020....

"The re-opening of the Conargo Pub is planned for the Deni Ute Muster in 2021."

Why is it that the recipient of a delivery asks the delivery driver who the box is from, and what is in it ?
I did deliveries for Comet and TNT back when a 2 way radio was advanced communication, and these questions were everyday common.
Company policy would not allow a 'How the **** am I supposed to know' reply.

To one side I have people doing plain silly things. All the way from flushing hankies down the toilet to building subdivisions without approval. To the other side I have people doing nothing at all, and others who think anything can be resolved by thrusting a few dollars at peons.

And when none of this seems to work out, why am I stuck in the middle of such protracted dysfunction?

Good question, also Microsoft Teams even though Skype is owned by MS !

Skype on the way out ?

Tonz · 01-01-2021, 08:24 PM

I think there was a massive marketing ploy at the start of Covid shutdown by Zoom that may have left Skype scratching its knackers.
Everybody seemed to be talking Zoom, I was on 2 hours 3 days a week for 2 months, sharing with Adelaide, Melb, Perth
I heard very little about Skype.

Why is it the middle part of your body is called your bottom?

Bottom of the torso I guess.

Syndrome,

what the fu** do you ask these awkward questions at the dinner table

fair go Id love to know how your brain sleeps at night, always coming up with such strange questions

.:4:. · 02-01-2021, 05:06 PM

It is effectively the human exhaust pipe. There arent any bodily organs that extend down to the legs. Its possible to survive without limbs, but without the best part of whats in your torso, well, anyhow

Why is it some people are triggered when homosapiens are referred to as "Mankind"? They claim the word Mankind is not gender inclusive as the word only refers to Man and does not include the other gender. Yet they have no issued with the words woMAN or feMALE which according to their logic means both of these imply the masculine rather than feminine gender.

A public hospital ward stay in northern Sydney will always include the three following ward occupants?

An elderly Croatian
A fellow called Peter with dementia
A seriously large person who carries on a treat

Why is it Youtube keep bombarding me with Husqvarna automower ads.

If the algorithm is smart enough to target me with specific ads, then it should be smart enough to know I hit "skip ads" every time Husqvarna try to sell me a tool that would ultimately leave my job redundant.

Its google invading your brain i reckon. Adds are why i justify $12 per month for them to **** off. I watch more youtube then tv.

clear out your search and cookies (not the ones in the cupboard

)
Set your browser to delete browsing history when you exit your browser under tools.
I can provide some guide if that helps.

Google and Apple listen to what is said in the house also, we can talk about stuff, and adds appear based on that convo, others I know have experienced the same

Those are all terms you see over on the mowing thread, so skynet knows your thoughts before you do.

I know the old IE could do this but I don't reckon Chrome can do this automatically, only manually via tools.

A former partner had this issue, we concluded two things - at least one program/site (never sure which) was using the mic, and the other was Faceache skimming off information. Some of the advertising was too related to vernacular, spoken discussions to be anything other than audio monitoring.

Yeah thanks Gaso, I know you can do this manually but doubt it can be done when you quit Chrome automatically like IE could be set up to do.
You still need to go to tools each tme to do it.

Edit, cancel the above found it Gaso for cookies, slide bar was disabled.

It should do it every time you quit Chrome.

I use Opera, which is chrome based. Sometimes it deletes them sometimes it doesn't
