I do hope David Lennon is appearing in person and not just videoing it in. And I want to know the ratio of potential scholars to okada drivers/area boys/common criminals that show up.

The typical Principal Process Engineer on a project makes Trump look like a paragon of humility and self-depreciation. They are clever bastards, though.

I couldn't do a tenth of a process engineer's job. Now if only we could persuade the process engineers that they can't do the project manager's job in addition to their own...

This was an ongoing argument among my peers when I was a young engineer. One school of thought is the manager needed to know the job so he could tell if he was being bullshitted. But I found a way to do that without knowing the discipline, and I couldn't do any of their jobs.

You just need to make sure you’re not caught with both passports in your possession by American authorities, which isn’t that hard to do unless you’re very unlucky. People used to do this all the time before the US allowed dual citizenship.

Banning dual citizenship doesn’t really work practically. A Brit would renounces his citizenship, get a US passport, and then simply apply for another British passport. The British authorities would understand exactly what occurred, as this has been going on for decades.

There are fewer things more revealing than a senior executive of an industrial startup connect with me on LinkedIn, ignore subsequent messages/emails about serious work matters, but post unlimited lame content on their timeline as if they're teenage influencers.

This is almost certainly because there are now enough Pakistanis administering the system that gaming it on a massive scale is now possible for their co-ethnics.

Dead patients are less of a concern to NHS doctors than the thought of someone “stoking divisions”.
NHS doctor here, Rupert. If you'd checked your facts before this racist dogwhistle, you'd know that every NHS doctor can speak English - as proven by their IELTS proficiency (look it up... or are you just a populist hatemonger for whom facts don't matter?). Kindness may not solve

The Welsh were so passionate about retaining their language that they quit speaking it at home with their kids because a teacher objected. 🤦🏻♂️
@s_jhs96 @whitesundesert @defossardf My grandmother came from a Welsh speaking household, but had it beaten out of her when she started school.

Which is the story of pretty much every minority language in the world. Most didn’t quit speaking it because the majority disapproved. Pathetic.
@whitesundesert @defossardf You have no idea about the history of the Welsh language and the English campaign to stop people speaking Welsh and it shows.

I had old school Russian nurses in a Sakhalin hospital with peeling paint and an asbestos roof find the vein without even breaking conversation. Whatever people calling themselves NHS nurses are these days, they are not nurses.
I took my elderly frail aunt for a procedure requiring conscious sedation, via a catheter in her arm. It took three NHS “nurses”, who had similar comms problems, FIVE goes to get it into her arm. She was a pincushion. Worse than much I’ve experienced living in the developing

Anyone with half a brain can see this was a bunch of primitive Islamists who’ve taken over a city excluding Jews because they are Jews. Everything else is just noise and chaff to distract from this.

The entire program is probably infiltrated by ethnic Pakistanis who are on the side of the parents, and act as informants.
