welshbairn Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Quite surprised Tass published this interview with a US Under Sec/State. Can't find it in the Russian language version though. US doesn’t want new Cold War but Russia needs to listen to world — Nuland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Shit got serious I drank a can of "full fat" the other day. It had been a while. Its way worse than I remember it, and is fact, utterly shite. If Barrs had staked their future on that rot all they years ago we would never have heard of them. Russia missing f**k all IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The first NATO Warship A1411, a German replenishment ship, docked near the King George V Wharf Road in the early hours. Followed by NATO Warship F362, a Danish vessel." It's the stirring romanticism behind the names of these vessels that makes me think the good guys will come out on top here. God bless A1411 and F362 and all who bravely sail in them. *Wipes tear from eye* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is that back in the real world, these type of "marketing" decisions make no difference whatsoever to the average shopper and in fact just leave the company / companies in question open to ridicule by the more "switched on" in society. Ironically, most CEO's are ruthless, arrogant and completely self absorbed individuals who wouldn't know a "good deed" if it slapped them in the mush from their multi million p/a salary slips, so really, they're fooling nobody, or at least very few I'd hope....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great course - in Glasgow, with a trip to the carvery in Paisley every day for lunch. Must have put on a stone that week. For me, I work with X-rays so needed the training. I got chatting to the others there and a few you would expect (Babcock, for the power plants, universities and so on)...and 3 guys from Barr's. They use radiation to check if a bottle has been correctly filled with juice. Let me explain - imagine your smoke alarm. You have a very small radiation source and a sensor near it. All day, every day, the source produces radiation and the sensor detects it. When that is interrupted (say, because smoke blocks the radiation) then the smoke alarm goes off. Barr's used a similar idea. They fill and produce so many juice bottles that they cannot visually inspect every one to make sure it has the right amount of juice in it. What they do instead is have each filled bottle of juice pass through a system set up like the smoke alarm. A radiation source on one side, a detector on the other. If the bottle has been filled correctly, then the radiation will not reach the sensor. The water in the juice catches the radiation instead. That bottle then travels on the "good" line. If a bottle is, say, half filled (the sensor is near the top of the bottle) then the radiation passes through and the sensor receives it. That bottle would then go on to the "bad" line and be rejected. That WAS actually pretty interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to lead to arguments about whether a goal was scored or not. You wouldn't lift jumpers for goalposts in case there was still a torso in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
