OT: Chinglish instructions for a floodlight

Bullshit. We don't need a law to drive on the right or left. If we drove deliberately on the wrong side, we would die, so we don't. Laws are only required for robots. People can work out what's sensible all by themselves.

Which is f*ck all.

If 100 people caught it, and most never will, 80 of them won't even know they got it, 10 will get symptoms like the flu, 9 will feel like shit for a couple of weeks, and 1 will die. So why bother avoiding that tiny chance?

If they weren't immune, there would be a reaction, symptoms, fever, etc. That's the meaning of immune, your body is not affected by it.

Why assume the worst about something we don't know about? Why would you think something you recover from would cause a long term effect? Most things do not.

And yet the government refuses to listen. Well the general population is fed up of it. I'm seeing a rapid rise in people taking my view, and not wearing a mask anywhere. In fact of the last 10 people to come to my house, mostly couriers etc, none wore a mask, even standing right in front of me and having a conversation.

You contradict yourself -- you say we do not need laws because people will do things to prevent death but then you denounce measures to save lives as unnecessary.

And there ARE driving laws. And people break them. And the consequences help to improve compliance.

Over 300K extra deaths even with the measures taken. And of course death is not the only negative result of the illness... there are many who survive but have complications.

That is not what immune means. Immune means you cannot catch nor spread it.

We do not know the long term impacts, hence why we should be cautious -- especially on a disease that spreads so quickly.

Also: those who are not willing to protect folks from this show stronger antisocial traits -- "the antisocial pattern profile which presented higher scores in Callousness, Deceitfulness, Hostility, Impulsivity, Irresponsibility, Manipulativeness, and Risk-taking, as well as lower scores in Affective resonance; and the empathy pattern profile which presented higher scores in Affective resonance and lower scores in ASPD typical traits."

Correct.

We need leadership. And a population that is better educated on science.

Back to leadership and education. And many with undesirable traits.

Good luck.

Well that floodlight's marvelous radar detector is shit. I sent them a video of it not working very well, and have received a free floodlight. Even if that detector sux too, I've now got two high powered floodlights very cheaply.

Noodle boy! ROFL!

No, it's "nae bother", as in "no problem". I kept getting it as a reply, just "NB" in the text and nothing else.

A few seconds to copy and paste, once, for the sale of 10,000 units. So as good as damn it zero.

It was not a mistake, it was a lack of clarity on your part.

Since I don't know where you live, I don't know where your "over there" refers to, but in the UK a Mini Cooper bought now is huge.

I once got told off for indicating. Twice the guy actually stopped (an emergency stop) right in front of me in the middle of the junction, then held up one finger. I thought he was flipping me off. Apparently he had the opinion that there was only one lane on the roundabout and I shouldn't be using it as though there were two (which is what 99% of drivers do as there's plenty of room). He clearly had a bad case of OCD and shouldn't be allowed on the road. If he'd done it a third time I wouldn't have bothered applying my brake, I'd have used the other pedal.

With the instructions being 0.0001% of that. The design of the circuit, the casing, the software, that's a million times more.

And why the f*ck do people pay $1000 for a phone? My non-Apple-ripoff non-Samsung-ripoff was $50, has a 5.5 inch 720p screen, a quad core processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, and a battery that will let me make calls for 10 hours.

How are you with song lyrics? I'm rubbish at that. Anything less clear than The Beatles and I can't make half of it out.

I don't want to be confused with the Glaswegian lowlife.
