    Sure but the queues eat but your 2 seconds of time savings.

    You are also heavily exaggerating the amount of effort and time kt takes to place objects into a bag. Looking and deciding where to place objects and actually placing them aren’t separate steps, it’s one continuous motion. Normal people take the placement decisions while moving the object into the bag.

    Bagging isn’t exactly rocket science.

    Or are you just absolutely incapable of multitasking? While eating do you look at the plate and ponder what piece to eat next and then you execute your grabbing maneuver. After you have done that do you think over the best way to move your fork over to your mouth and then you stop and open your mouth. After the month is open do you then move your food into your mouth…

    No, of fucking course you don’t. You just eat. I’m very sorry if that is the way you live but most people can make decisions on their next moves without interrupting their current move

    This is seriously basic stuff and the principle behind Industrial Assembly Lines.

    Shopping isn’t comparable to industrial assembly lines. If it were the human would be cut out completely and every object would pass through a 365 scanner or something instead.

    Either way the most optimal way of shopping is what we often use in larger grocery stores in Sweden. Hand held scanners where you carry a scanner around the store and scan items before putting them in your bags and when you are don’t you dock the scanner and pay, and you are done.

    you can’t both be scanning an item and putting an item on the bag at the same time unless you’re just dropping it there without looking (which is a problem if anything you’re buying is in a glass bottle or jar).

    Yes, of course you can lol.

    This is starting to sound more and more like a skill issue than anything else.

    Either way, I don’t mind if you choose the regular checkouts. It keeps the self checkout queue free for the rest of us 😀




  • Well, half a billion is still a lot of money so it’s great that the union got it so they can spend it on something useful. Half a billion USD is the entire yearly revenue of some fairly large companies in Sweden.

    And the fine is not intended to bankrupt Apple, it’s intended to punish them and as a show of force. If Apple still refuses to comply or even pay the fine, the fines would obviously escalate and the max fine on this offence is very very high.

    Also remember that the EU generally only cares what they do inside the EU, they care about how it affects EU citizens. So it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to issue brutally high fines based on yearly global revenue yet.

    Considering that any server with one of these is likely to have two of them, that’s quite a lot of heat to dissipate.

    A cpu also generally needs to be kept cooler than a space heater.

    My home server has a row of surprisingly powerful and small fans and that’s just for a few years old dual Xeon system. I have never personally been (knowing) near a GPU farm but I have been behind a crazy ass router (Cisco ASR 9000 something) that’s like 10+ U. The airflow behind the router is crazy.

    Here in Sweden the limit is at 0,2 ‰ which I believe is equivalent to 0,02 BAC. So 0,08 BAC is really high IMO.

    The limit for a serious violation is 1 ‰

    The punishment for a normal violation is a fine or up to 6 months in prison. The punishment for a serious violation is up to 2 years in prison. Apparently if you go above 1,5 ‰ you are quite unlikely to get any other punishment than prison, so community service or similar is out.

    If you are found guilty they generally take your driving licence a As well and you are not allowed to get a new one for a minimum of 1 month or a maximum of 3 years (minimum 1 year for serious violation)


  • Life at stake?

    Eh no, not knowing that you should have a backup plan if you want to do stuff like football is far from ruining a whole life.

    Let’s say that they figure out that football is a no go at 25 or something ridiculous like that, what happens? Nothing. They can just do something else, they can even study and get some good education if they want. Switching careers isn’t impossible like you make it out to be. Hell, depending on where you live you might even get paid by the government to get a better education.

    Let the kid do football but encourage them to do other stuff too (like getting a good education).
