OT: inconsiderate shoppers

[Steven Watkins]

For the really stupid folk, who think cat food is made from cats.

[Rod Speed]

Wrong, as always. Radar can't see stationary cars, stupid.

[Rod Speed]

But doesn't know if it has gone past, stupid.

[Rod Speed]

But were too stupid to even noticed that there are f*ck all jobs for those with those degrees where you chose to 'live'

Yes, you actually are that stupid.

Even sillier than you usually manage with that sort of degree. There will always be f*ck all jobs for those with that sort of degree where you choose to 'live' and that's just teaching. And as the number of brats people choose to have keeps dropping there are even fewer of those jobs too.

Up here aluminum and copper dissappear almost immediately. Steel takes a little longer. I save up any non-ferrous metal and take it in foir scrap. Anything steel or iron approaching 100 lbs is worth taking in for scrap too. Need a minimum 100lbs to get paid (was 300 when the price was WAY down)

My local scrapyard will even take a school bus -- - -

[Clare Snyder]

I DID say FIXED - as in permanently installed, didn't i????

[Clare Snyder]

Up here you virtually NEVER see radar.

Staight timed, loop, or very occaisionally untrasonic

[Steven Watkins]

That's a point, there's the other scrapyard for cars which should take other vehicles. For some reason I was only thinking of the one I've taken a water tank to.

I got something like =A350 for a copper tank.

[Steven Watkins]

Similar anywhere in the UK, but not guaranteed to stay the same. If I'd picked a degree where jobs where available, it may have changed. And I also may not have got it as Physics was what I was best at.

Physics is the future.

[Steven Watkins]

It knows it will go past when it turns green.

[Steven Watkins]

Then that's very expensive. Aldi must do cheap bread there too?

[Steven Watkins]

It's very simple. The light is red. The radar sees an approaching car. It knows it needs to make that phase green at some point as that car is now waiting. When it can, it goes green. The stationary car will now move off (and the radar will also see it begin to move). It will see the movement of the other cars which accumulated behind it. When no more movement is detected, it can go red again.

So all it has to do is add a green phase into that direction when it detects movement, then go red once movement stops.

[Steven Watkins]

I doubt tin or plastic is that harmful.

[Steven Watkins]

Which you disobey as much as I do.

[Steven Watkins]

You admit to speeding too.

[Tim Streater]

Physics is a proper degree, and sensible companies recognise that. It teaches you to think, for one thing. It's not the only proper degree but it's one of the few.

[Steven Watkins]

Indeed, although I never found a job that required it. But it may have functioned as a degree of any sort, or of a similar sort, to get me my first job. Still seems pointless to learn all that stuff I never used though.

[Steven Watkins]

Then they'd die in the wild, they have to know which berries are good for them.

And the panels are clearly wrong, because wherever I've been, people always feed them bread by the metric tonne, and I've never seen a dead duck.
