> If there are nasty customers they have a great incentive to treat them poorly so that they don't come back

Try that in your job and see how long you keep it. The only exceptions would be something like the DMV which people have no choice but to use, no matter how shitty they are treated.

Yes, some customers are deliberate assholes, but a complaint, legitimate or otherwise, is no excuse for you being one as well.

> Some towns and neighborhoods have very few restaurants to choose from.

And people talk. If a small town restaurant gives poor service, word soon gets out and other locals won't go there. Conversely, if a customer is an asshole, word soon gets out and they aren't welcome anywhere else.

While it is feasible that the last name could be gleaned from a reservation record, there are bound to be lot of people who would have the same name, meaning the next time a Brad Majors makes a reservation he isn't necessarily the same Brad Majors who left a scathing review and thus somehow deserves his soup to be pissed in. Having a profile picture as well ensures a positive identification and pretty much guarantees either a mysterious last second cancellation or food tampering.

That would result in another negative review as justifiable, if not more, than the original, which would emphasise that this is a place you don't want to go to. Not seeing that as a positive for their bottom line...

If Brad #1 has had a bad experience, why would he want to return anyway?

If the fully costed nuclear power stations plan hadn't been scrapped by the Government over a decade ago, they'd be on-stream by now, generating an excess of electricity for even a substantial growth in demand for the next 20 years minimum. Seems there wasn't enough personal enrichment for MPs and their cronies on offer...

'cause the moon and space doesn't belong to US and as Yanks can't even write a date in the correct order I wouldn't trust some underfunded agency that has lost its lustre of late to come up with something viable and devoid of parochial bullshit.

You can do plenty with just a pentatonic scale, so much so that it is an entire oevre of composition and has been for centuries. Some might call it "plinky plonky" but others appreciate a "purity" not present in a different scale containing more tones.

He mistook it for a Johnnycab which has a manual override.

The word you were looking for is "screed". You're as ignorant of English as you are of the facts.

If someone is told they can leave a country by prosecutors and police, they can't possibly have "fled".

> Anyone who thought that Dell was going to just keep paying property taxes on their offices while leaving them empty is an idiot

Dell have had 4 years to reorganise their property portfolio / leasing agreements. If they don't like how much they are paying, that's their fault.

1. Assange was in Sweden when initially accused, voluntarily submitted himself to police and was told after interview by prosecutors that no charges would be filed, case closed and he could leave the country. So he returns to UK.
2. Swedish prosecutor Nye decides, for no sufficiently plausible and adequate reasons given, to re-open the closed case, accusing Assange of having fled the country (false) and attempts to get an International Arrest Warrant.
3. Assange offers to talk to prosecutors in London. This isn't an extraordinary request, as they've been happy to travel there to question terror suspects in the past, as well as elsewhere in Europe. They refuse, with no reason given. Instead they demand his arrest under the IAW (later ruled unlawfully applied) from UK authorities and his return to Sweden.
4. Instead of telling Swedish prosecutor Nye to just get on a fucking plane if she wants to talk to Assange, UK issues arrest warrant based on the IAW in order that he be returned.
5 Fearing the possibility of easier extradition from Sweden to US than from UK to US, and that that is the basis of the demand that he return, Assange is granted sanctuary in the Ecuadorian embassy, as they agree that's what is really going on. Ecuador has no extradition agreement with US.
6. US demands Ecuador kick Assange out of embassy. Ecuador tells US to fuck off.
7- 12. Further requests are made to Swedish prosecutor Nye to travel to interview him, in the embassy this time. All refused, again with no reasons given. Still no suggestion from UK that someone just gets on a fucking plane to get this over with.
13. US pressures UK to pressure Ecuador to kick Assange out. A permanent police presence is stationed outside the embassy at behest of US in case he slips out to the corner shop for some Jaffa cakes. This goes on for some time and is thought to have cost over a million pounds in resources. Meanwhile, Nye is censured for the unlawfully applied IAW, but that is now germane due to the subsequent UK arrest warrant that somehow isn't also unlawful as it was only issued due to the IAW.
14. Assange is finally told to leave the embassy and is arrested. Due to the "evading" of the (already known to be dodgy) arrest be is sentenced to a short time in Belmarsh.

Why is the US so keen on this when it is all supposed to be about an allegation of rape? Because it never was about that.

15. Now the side hustle of getting him to Sweden is no longer in play, US applies to UK for extradition. In an unprecedented move, it is decided that he remains imprisoned in Belmarsh for however long the process takes, despite not having been convicted of any crime anywhere on the planet.
16. Years pass and plentiful documents come to light regarding assassination plots, interrogation techniques and other varieties of black bag shenanigans planned to inflict upon him once he's in US, all publicly condemned but privately condoned.

Also notable is the distinct lack of Australia's interest in one of her citizens throughout all of this.

..., who said that it was not his responsibility to vet the obviously incorrect images. ... "As a biomedical researcher, I only review the paper based on its scientific aspects"

An included image is part of the paper. Does he also not bother checking graphs for accurate portrayal of data?

I suppose there's a pro tip there. Add any image you like. As long as you say Midjourney made it, it will pass his review. Test this theory with a generated pic involving his mother getting airlocked.

It's the same worthless Meyers -Briggs bullshit with "AI" on top. This just means a computer "calculates" your personality instead of a human, with the added bonus of being able to immediately send your application to dev/null. A stock rejection email is optional. No, there's no grounds to appeal because a machine did this.

I was "WiFi jamming" hipsters on Apple devices in coffee shops using just my Android phone and a free side loaded app over 10 years ago for a brief laugh when bored.

I'm surprised it's taken this long to have a dedicated device used for nefarious purposes, or that they cost so much (even $40 is still a lot for something that just floods a network).

Mrs Sunak will still get her dividends, so that's alright.

The divers curriculum appears to have been deficient in imparting the necessity of maintaining the correct spelling of loanwords.

"African or European?"
"We don't take kindly to your use of ethnic origin as a means of nomenclature. Fucking racist"
