Live in your Lego Vehicle Assembly Building. Unless that is a Building to Assemble Lego Vehicles, in which case you live there already.

I was going to say, not many 60 year old ballerinas. (And I think someone said this campaign, if not this ad, was running before anyone mentioned lockdowns. I or they could be wrong.)
So it's maybe not just "Re-Educate the Intellectuals" as it looks (and didn't Communist China have ballet anyway, I think Clive James wrote about it, however I think he thought it was rubbish)
It's not age 60 now though, they changed the standard UK pension age for women and changed it hard. And... got away with it, I think is a concise way to say how it went.
They did change it to the same as for men. And they changed that too. It's not totally unjust, far too many people are living long enough to get pension apparently. Because we're not smoking, I suppose.
Yeah... not especially fond memories of a group whose moderators evidently included someone who took a dislike to me and silently suppressed all of my contributions (as far as I could tell). And it was a while before I noticed that, which is by design evidently. No response, no forgiveness. Mind you, another forum - I'm going to call it Dosshouse - seems to have done that to me. Maybe it's the effect I have on people generally.
I want to know, or rather to rhetorically ask, what happens if the data field contains a quote mark.
All the software tools I use want to know what an RFC is. Except for our change control system in which an RFC is a change order.
This one that defines CSV is from 2005 anyway: complying with it now would break all of our carefully managed incompatibilities.
My preferred way to deal with CSV data is to read the entire line and then apply my own decoder. Generating output, on the other hand, I take pains to remove line breaks and tabs breaks. In my field, nobody really wants these usually, so I just change them to space and to > , which hasn't yet bitten me, but may.
Another favourite is an external provider which sends us a "CSV" file in which fields are separated with | which is not a comma and also not a problem. Up to now.
Transact-SQL apparently has a bug with converting string NNNN-NN-NN to "datetime" and which national convention is applied. Uncoincidentally? introduced at the same time as datetime2 type, which does not have the bug. You can explicitly CONVERT specifying the date convention by number (British = 103, personally I like 126), or use datetime2 if you don't understand the problem (which now you do), or if you're in a hurry 'NNNNNNNN' which consistently auto converts as YYYY MM DD, except in leap years after 2021 for all I know, let's find out together ;-)
A Royal Mail written address has up to 12 possible distinct lines - some of them logically don't appear with others e.g. 'PO Box Number". Actual Royal Mail data has about 50 fields, one or more of which contain multiple values at once, e.g. "Property name" and "Number of property that is not a single integer e.g. 1A, or 3 & 5". However, around 200 other countries have their own address composition rules.
It's fairly unlikely that you need to do anything with an address besides send mail to a multi line printed address, so just store that - maybe with a nationally acceptable field separator like, oh, a comma.
Well.... maybe "person name" + "job title" + "business name at property" + "physical address of property", except that these blur into each other as well.
Anyway, yes you may also need an "Address Is Shit" column Y/N.
Some householders were sold a solar panel deal where they don't actually own the solar panels, they are sort of leasing them... and when they don't get as much useful and/or re-sellable electricity as they expected to, it isn't the provider's problem. In other words, someone has managed to make free energy unaffordable.
I think I've seen professionals wearing their mask with tape across the edge to make it closer to airtight. Not all the way or you can't breathe at all obvs.
They may have been professional actors in "Holby City" or something but I'm counting it.
As for the intriguingly named "Cellmate" product, I read that the problem is overstated, you just need to pop the end off with a screwdriver. (Do not throw it away, you may want to re-attach it.)
Well...
Didn't Face Book start by illegally collecting university student's face photographs so that FB users could vote on their attractiveness... "violating privacy" says Wikipedia.
So I don't want to go anywhere near an "Arse Book" (while anybody's watching).
I actually incline to objecting to the word "Real", implying "The one and only actual oversight board". They may believe that too, but it's an opinion, and there is - or may one day be - an actual Facebook Board of Oversights run by the company.
If they said "Independent" in place of "Real", I'd approve. The Facebook Facebook Overboard Site clearly can't ever be independent, and probably isn't meant to be.
If the word "Facebook" actually is the cause, it can be argued as fair use, but as I said, "real" and "Facebook" is poor construction if you're not the real Facebook.
I suggest for their use Foocebake if that isn't already taken. But it appears that some of the 7.8 billion potential Internet users have indeed found uses for it. References to non-alcoholic intoxication abound.
The committee wants the UK to align with US demands made allegedly on security grounds. This isn't the same as aligning with Donald Trump, that is The Register's interpretation.
Having said that, I don't expect US relations with China generally or Huawei in particular to become suddenly cordial under a new President. Scepticism about Huawei's good faith is a British and American position by default anyway, and with the damage having been done already by the Trump administration, President Biden isn't going to reverse it in a hurry. He would lose face by doing it which is important, he would look like the traitor that Trump has been calling him since probably 2008, and if the decision was followed by any undesirable consequence whatsoever - say, a quarter of the Internet taking Chinese New Year day as a holiday for half an hour - Biden would be excoriated.
It can be imagined that the World Trade Organization would adjudicate that the US is unfairly discriminating against a Chinese business, but President Trump is no fool and he doesn't give a toot about that argument, so President Biden won't have to, either.
Now when it comes to the Tiktok thing, Trump looks like a child having a tantrum, even to supporters.
I just posted a link to a fatality story where the coroner said words against "do it yourself" electrical work, probably illegal now anyway if not a qualified professional. What you say sounds straightforward, but best not.
(Confusingly, actual DIY which occurred had not been the fundamental problem.)
I know a house where one hanging light is hanging a bit looser than is properly nice. It's screw mounted in ceiling material that appears to be cardboard imitation MDF. Or rather it isn't mounted exactly.
What I hope is a temporary solution is to remove the lamp shade so that there is less weight on, well, the cardboard.
I hope the fatal case I remember reading about is this from 2004, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3735928.stm
Because otherwise it is happening much too often.
"Politics" because the married daughter of Member of Parliament Jenny Tonge was killed due to diagonal-ish kitchen wiring installed by "unnamed builders" "not according to best practice guidelines". And because her husband had screwed a shelf in past cable that shouldn't have been there. Some time later, the screw became live.
Some recent BBC News Web site reporting of closing the 1960s purpose-built "Broadcasting House" in Cardiff is very unsentimental about its suitability for purpose as of 2020.
The new building, which may or may not be called "New Broadcasting House", apparently has wall-to-wall "IP" for every broadcastable device. And from the pictures, funky multi colour LED lighting.
Let's hope that the funky multi colour LED lighting does not in any way interfere with the wall-to-wall IP and the broadcasting. But we'd have heard by now... or then again, perhaps not?
Tip: If your e-mail address actually contains the word "spam", most spammers will just not use it, they will assume it's something like "Doctor.Syntax.hates.spam@nhs.uk" which of course a human operator can change to your real address but dumb software can't. This may not work though; no guarantee.
What I was reminded of - I think I saw it on TV once:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_typewriter
1970s model - There are thousands of symbols, so you just steer the picker over the field of type pieces till you find the one that you want, and you type it. At least, I think that's how it goes.
I suppose there are more details in the warehouse overhead railway for robots thing, and if it is true that Ocado took a good look at the other mob's setup and THEN built their own, then that is a bit whiffy.
I assumed you came on the bike, it is rather a big pose otherwise? And I am a pedal cyclist but I don't want to be known to my operating system provider as "the man with the funny shaped helmet".
Sometimes it will be convenient to take car or train close enough to take a short bicycle run to finish, perhaps on a foldy uppy one.
Are the tubes broad enough to fill them with, say, size C cells? You could stuff them in and when they wear out, put in new ones. I changed the batteries in my radio today. You would need some special garage rig to pick the car up and shake it to get them out... and maybe you'd have to give it a whack when it stops working after you drive over a bump.
I don't know if that is this, but I'm developing a taste for old films and TV where cars, trains, etc. are shown running at terrific speed just by playing the film faster, or recording it slower. I think "U.F.O." does it (set in a fabulous futuristic 1980), and the British "Avengers"... and a quite old British monochrome piece with no plot that seems to expect the audience simply to accept driving through central London at night at 100 mph (not really), or a train going faster than the speed of sound, and enjoy the spectacle.
