“Working in a bowl and using an electric whisk” Fucking liars 🤥

Unfortunately not…

An image showing two packs of (different) tablets both opened at the “lot and expiry date” end.

The one on the left has the patient information leaflet obstructing access to the blister strips. The one on the right has the blister strips accessible.

It is a common misconception that the variable data end indicates which end the blisters are packed.

Very apt that this came up in today’s memories…

Perhaps not such a well executed “pull through” here by Ionity at Cobham (at an otherwise great installation) - requires weaving through services car park to reach and because of layout, ‘drive-thru’ bays get used as ‘normal’ bays when there are plenty of regular bays available.

Ionity chargers at Cobham services. 2 ‘drive-thru’ bays are provided (out of 24 Ionity chargers, there are other CPOs at the services too)
The bays are ‘short’ for ‘drive-thru’ - causing overhang at rear…

…and overhang at front.

Despite the charges only being 1/3 full, the remaining ‘drive-thru’ bay is blocked by a small EV

Has totally gone to shit, it can’t even correct contractions or suggest where to split words where a space has been missed.

A screenshot showing how iOS autocorrect has gone to shit, the poster is typing how it can’t even correct contractions such as “can’t” correctly and like clockwork, the autocorrect fails.

How EV charging should be at motorway services - #DriveThrough #OversizedBays - just like a petrol forecourt. (Fastned in Belgium 🇧🇪) @fullychargedshow.bsky.social @fullychargeddan.bsky.social - please include this in any UK advocacy with CPOs 🤞🏻👍🏻

This would seem… sub-optimal for Uber’s latest safety feature. (Audio recording during rides) You can’t even confirm what you think was said was actually said and have to trust Uber who will no doubt refuse any other evidence. The pretence of safety through a closed system.

An email from Uber titled “Leading the way on safety”

We always want you to feel safe when taking a trip with Uber. That’s why we designed our new audio recording feature, to give you the option to record trip audio during any Uber trip (including UberX Share trips if available in your city) and share it with the Uber Safety Support team.…

Further down it says

The audio recording is encrypted and stored securely on your device. Neither you, your driver, nor anyone else in the vehicle can listen to it. Neither can Uber unless you choose to share it as part of a safety report.
The audio file will be automatically deleted after 14 days if you choose not to share it with the Uber Safety Support team.
