Many microcontrollers can be set up for in circuit programming.

They might be intended for one time programming in the factory, but solder some wires on in the right place and supply the right signal and it can be reprogrammed.

Is that a circuit or a computer?

yes, and the latest “conservative” assailants on UK (maybe mostly English) health system wear red roses on their lapels.

They all see a giant unmilked cash cow wandering around in a short skirt.

Apparently no one is 100% sure whether bloodsucking worms were named after doctors that used them, or doctors were named after the blood sucking worms that they commonly prescribed.

“Leech” being an old timey name for a medical doctor, possibly predating the term “doctor” which just came from “teacher” like “doctrine” or something.

Have you ever tried driving to a place you’d never go?

I’m talking about sotware they produce and my employer buys that i’m expected to use.

I can’t rewrite their “tools” and databases and fucking awful cloud-web front end things. I tend to think multi-billion$ shitware companies should do that; but even so no way I’d be allowed.

Yes, I do end up having to write my own tools choosing whatever free stuff I’m allowed to have, or can get working, Yes, It’s incredibly easy in any half way decent (including free) software, far from rocket science, that is until you try to put something back into a database via one of these “tools”.

So you work around, pre-processing, post-processing, get it working. Then they unexpectedly release a “patch” that sees through my work-a-round and tries to convert the thing i’d convinced it to treat as string into a screwed up datetime again.

Next time, I will prepend “fuckoracleiquit” to all datetimes before they go into the database.

They need to be told a fuck of a lot harder then.

Yes.

If I saw that in a job advert I might just apply without reading the rest. I don’t think I ever have though.

It doesn’t “annoy” me.

I like employers to be open and honest about their various incompetencies. Saves time.

There’s a few other warning signs in that statement too - nice of them sift themselves out so quickly.

Please someone tell oracle and microsoft.

I hate remakes, I normally don’t watch them. Even sequels, especially 3rd or more.

But I believe people - generally - do want to watch remakes, (or formualic films based on cartoons), since that’s all I ever seem to hear about. People seem a lot more likely to talk about “captain bat-spider 5 the egg-sack years” or "starwars the phantom plot connexion " than anything that seems intertesting to me.

I used to live by a cinema that did cheap mondays a few years ago, I think maybe ‘Looper’ and ‘Sightseers’ I remember seeing there most recently. I’ve doubt I’ve seen a new film since then.I think they’re ‘original ish’?

I don’t even know where my nearest cinema is in this town, I think theres a small artsy one in town, but for proper cinemas i think you need a car drive out into the sticks fuck that.

All that aside, I liked lethal weapon 5 more than any other lethal weapon film. Does that count?
