The prequels were better

Well, actually...

Yeah but if they don't show which is which I ask them to show too.

Almost everyone gets screw turning right, it just weeds out a few people who say the right things in emails.

I did actually make the mistake of asking just "which way do you turn a screw" once and the person had the sense to ask "to tighten or loosen it?"

I've just started doing practical interviews. I basically get really young people with little overall experience and I just want to know if they can do common technical tasks.

So one question is to literally have them explain how to tighten a bolt. One person failed.

Are they networked? Mine are somehow connected and the one that beeps doesn't always seem to be the one that detected the issue.

If you've seen the film, it will do all the swinging for you.

Isn't that kind of the point of Donnie Darko? Comparing it to The Count of Monte Cristo which did that for me, the Count seems like an amazing badass as a kid but just kind of an ass as an adult; he literally says so at the end of the story, but you gloss over it as a kid. Bringing that back to Donnie Darko, he comes to the conclusion the world is better off without him.

I'd prefer an empty can of beets.

Who would want to date someone that uses Sankey diagrams?

OP doesn't specify, but I read the gripe as it's a branded truck that's basically an advertisement you pay to give to your kid. And it's geared towards kids exactly to expose them at a young age and make a positive association that will pay off when they grow up.

I like UPS more as a company than FedEx or Amazon because it supposedly has a decent union and actually pays their employees. But the toy itself is still an ad, and I personally don't view it any more highly than I view similar Amazon truck toys that pander to children. If it were some generic delivery truck I doubt anyone would even notice.

That's some Stockholm Syndrome talk right there.
