Epic fail

war of the worlds epic fail this morning

coincidentally, today the US congress is having a ‘pivotal’ hearing about their armed forces allegedly hiding evidence of aliens, and also spending many billions with no oversight.

One of Italy's most dangerous fugitives has been caught in Greece after a photo of him cheering on his football team gave away his whereabouts.

Vincenzo La Porta, 60, is thought to have close ties to the Camorra organised crime gang in Naples.

He has been on the run for 11 years - but earlier this year was spotted in a photo of fans celebrating in Greece.

The more wild one is the reference in the article.

Guy caught after being spotted on Google street view.

After his arrest, he reportedly told police: "How did you find me? I haven't even called my family for 10 years."

No face no case, donny got caught slipping

I think there's money in a version of the film with him instead of Ryan Reynolds

:) Seemed like a bargain?

are they those toe shoes i keep hearing about

I got that while digging years ago. Left me with a Tan Band™ for quite a while.

My bleary eyes read that as sun bum

How big are your gloves!?

Ordered a new pair of shoes for my size 12 feet. These just turned up.

This happened to me with socks.

No indication that they were children's socks... just a size range UK 9-11.

Wish they'd just size everything in EU sizes as the problem is that UK and US sizes reach 14 and reset to 1 🤷

At least with EU sizes the number continues to go up as the feet get bigger.

Wish they'd just size everything in EU sizes

This. I make a point of using EU sizing in all my dealings with shoes because it avoids confusion.

I hate: GB AU US shoe sizing and the Amerian date format idiocy

the Amerian date format idiocy

yeah... this one is crazy.

I go further out of my way to do everything in ISO dates, and if a system allows it I set my timezone and locale to Iceland which is UTC, and that really screws with people.

If I'm typing stuff it's generally 2023-01-01 to avoid doubt. If it's in our systems, well, we're fucked. Soooo much time and effort spent on date conversions!

Then there are the commas for thousands in continental spreadsheets. A trial for the unwary.

Ah, yes. Love seeing errors when I type in a number only to find out some Euro idiot uses commas instead of decimal point. Humans are so fucking dumb.

I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about but why can't shoes sizes be measured in cm foot length and width?

Something like:

28-30cm long
8-10cm wide

Seems mental that we'd have daft systems for measuring the shoe when we could just measure the thing you put in them and give a range of acceptable fit.

Lol what a stupid idea
