   I got laid off, then got tonsillitis which turned into quinsy. Three days in hospital, then got Bells Palsy. I’m meant to be resting and recovering but the job search is always on my mind. Not doing great.

   I just got this back and it’s hilarious: Spatula and a Spoon: The second way is by using a spatula and a spoon. The doctor would use the spatula to gently lift the appendix out of the belly, and then use the spoon to scoop it out. Excellent

    Those in corporate areas of stadiums at the tournament will still be able to purchase alcohol. That's all I need to hear, corruption to the end. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63674631

    True, but the fact that technology is going to reinvent everything, including work seems to be an oversight. I'm not sure an old school factory owner is going to attract the best people in a highly skilled industry

    It seems that Musk at this point is completely unaware that he is a walking contradiction. On one hand, he is a technologist. Forward thinking and driving towards the future. On the other hand, he is an old fashioned factory owner. He views
