The Daily WTF: Curious Perversions in Information Technology

If peanuts aren't nuts, do they still cause the same problems for people with nut allergies? And do ordinary nuts cause the same problems in peanut-allergic people that are caused by peanuts?
Not necessarily. One of my kids is fairly allergic to peanuts, much less so to tree nuts. (By blood test).
If you thing nut / peanut allergies are a nuisance, try having an allergy to soya, like my mother-in-law (and to a lesser extent my wife). It seems that 90% of all commercially traded processed foodstuffs contain soya. Shopping for food is really tedious, and eating out is a nightmare. And there appears to be no mandatory warning on packets: "May contain soya."
Nods. Three kids - three different sets of allergies. Standard "Dad meals" PBJ, hot dogs, pizza? All dis-allowed.
Wheat/Gluten is no picnic either - ironicly, most soy sauce contains some wheat.

Hey, my son is mentally but at least I don't have retarded problems like your kids. Do future generations a favour and stop reproducing.

Actually, I think TRWTF in that case would be "Hey, why don't we run our clocks on AA batteries like everybody else?"

And the answer would be because they don't have a way to synchronize a clock running on AA batteries with the rest of the clocks in the building.
Why would you ever need to syncronize clocks in a school setting (or anywhere except where it counts like an airport or a trading floor)?

Many public schools in the US use bells to indicate when classes begin/end, day begin/ends, recess begin/ends, etc. These bell systems, besides having a master clock to ring the various outlying electric bells, are also master clocks to feed signals to clocks in the classrooms. One of the big companies in this business is (was?) IBM. When I went to school from 1977-1990, this was the norm. I don't know the current technologies used.

To directly address the point, I'm not sure exactly why the clocks would all have to display the same time, other than having master clocks means not having to worry about DST, resetting individual rooms, or dealing with "I'm not late, look at the clock" issues.

Hey, my son is mentally challenged but at least I don't have retarded problems like your kids. Do future generations a favour and stop feeding your kids common allergy foodstuff until they're at least two years old.

FTFY

If you give your child peanut butter too early in their life, the chances of them developing an allergy to it are hugely increased. Also giving them copious amounts of the stuff can also have a similar effect (triggering an allergy or sensitivity).

"there" or, if you must, "in that place."

There's a separate circle of Hell reserved for numbskulls who say "their" when they mean "there" you know? Don't give me bullshit saying that "language is evolving" because I don't fucking care. No-one ever said evolution was easy.

You may laugh and think "it doesn't matter", but every educated person who sees what you write is judging you with the same vim and vigour as I am and they are repulsed.

You'd think someone keen enough to spot a grammatical error like "their" vs "there" would also be keen enough to notice the poster's correct use of "there" in the same post as his incorrect use of "their" instead of "there". Therefore, us smart people conclude that the poster knows when to use what, and it is simply a typo.

There is an even lower circle of hell reserved for self-righteous grammar nazis. Don't give me that bullcrap saying that you just want people to have good grammar because I don't care. You may laugh and think it doesn't matter, but every educated person who sees what you write is judging you just a I am, and they are repulsed.

These systems were installed before there was a way to sync the clocks via radio. With 100s of clocks in a school, who has the time to change them to Daylight savings and back, and who gets to replace all the batteries? In a school, you especially need to sync the clocks. It is hard enough getting across campus between periods without worrying if your teacher kept the class late because their clock was slow.

Parsed that for you. So there might be a few nuts with the peanuts, which aren't nuts, despite the name.

It's not that it may contain other nuts, so much as that it may contain traces of other nuts, (dust, etc, since they're often processed together in the same facilities,) and if the allergy is severe enough, that could be enough to really cause problems for someone.

Although the biggest risk factor, as far as I'm aware, isn't exposing your kids to stuff, it's not exposing them to enough. When parents try to keep their kid in a sterile environment so they can't possibly catch something and get sick, the kid's immune system has nothing malicious to fight against. But that doesn't stop it from developing; it just picks the weirdest things it can find and arbitrarily decides that that must be The Enemy, and that's where allergies come from.

You want your kid to not have allergies, let them live the natural life of a little kid. Let them play outside in the dirt and the grass, let them cuddle cats and dogs, let them play with other kids without rushing over to wipe their face anytime one of them sneezes, etc.

Not quite the same thing, since your not saying that *your* watch says differently, but rather *their* clock. It's more like those roadside radar setups with the "your speed is X". Imagine one that says "your speed is 35", and then being pulled over because the cop's radar said 40.

Imagine leaving one classroom when its clock says 11:00, and the next class starts at 11:05. You take 3 minutes to get to the next class. When you get there, that classroom's clock says 11:07.

Are you late or not?

When you run near light-speed, that's pretty normal.

I think it's more along the lines of: use common sense and everything in moderation.

My kids are very rough and tumble, they're outside every day, go to camp, play with dogs and cats, swim in public pools, etc. etc., but then again I'm not going to let them lick the floor of a subway car either. Also, regarding moderation, you can give them PB-n-J sandwiches, you just wouldn't give it to them for breakfast, lunch, and as a snack later on. I've heard from several allergists (family friends) who say that even giving them too much milk can trigger an intolerance to lactose. Also, being dealt a shitty hand in the gene area is also a major factor (think asthma).

Not necessarily. There are people who are allergic to peanuts and people who are allergic to tree nuts and people (like my younger son) who are allergic to both.

Peanuts, of course, aren't nuts. They are legumes. (http://www.peanut-institute.org/peanut-facts/) I'm sure there are people who are allergic to other legumes (beans, peas...) but I've never met any. My son, who can't safely eat peanuts or peanut butter has no allergy to beans or beans - but getting him to eat them...that's another matter.

If you start touching your child too early in their life, the chances of them developing an aversion to it are hugely increased. Also giving them copious amounts of the stuff from your wee-wee can also have a similar effect (triggering an aversion or sensitivity).

Although the biggest risk factor, as far as I'm aware, isn't exposing your kids to stuff, it's not exposing them to enough. When parents try to keep their kid in a chaste environment so they can't possibly get any and get off, the kid's love sword system has nothing exciting to hump against. But that doesn't stop it from developing; it just picks the weirdest things it can find and arbitrarily decides that that must be hot as hell, and that's where perversion comes from.

You want your kid to not have perversions, let them live the natural life of a little kid. Let them touch each other in the dirt and the grass, let them copulate with cats and dogs, let them play with other kids fun zones without rushing over to wipe the mess off their face anytime one of them blows it, etc.
I think it's more along the lines of: use common sense and everything in moderation.

My kids are very rough and tumble, they're at it every day, go to YMCA lockerrooms, lay with dogs and cats, sex in public pools, etc. etc., but then again I'm not going to let them lick the floor of a hooker's ass either. Also, regarding moderation, you can give them Pussy & BlowJobs, you just wouldn't give it to them for morning, noon, and night. I've heard from several swingers (family friends wink, wink) who say that even giving them too much man milk can trigger an intolerance to cake icing. Also, being felt by a shitty hand at the playground is also a major factor (think asexuality).

Yeah, I know. I think the same thing happened to me. I was forced to wear a chastity belt until I was 21, but because I was wearing the belt, my parents didn't see any problem with me watching porn all day. I couldn't touch myself, so it's not a problem, right?

Wrong.

I'd just like to complete my submission to address the doubts expressed in the comments: in most classrooms, almost every single outlet is that high. I'm sure they're convenient for plugging televisions, projectors and the likes, but there are never more than one or two outlets at a more reachable level, and those are at the far end of the rooms, near the door.

This shot is not an exaggeration shot, like "look how funny I am, standing on my desk to plug my laptop"; I had no other choice. No. Other. Choice. Unless I sat far back and wanted the power cord in the way of everyone trying to open the door.

"If these peanuts only contain traces of peanuts, what's the rest then?" wonders Thomas H.

Salt.

Should be obvious. Duh.

2011-08-12 Reply Admin

The building in which the outlets are installed like this was built in 2004, so there were no old electrical standards that had to be taken into account.

There are also no clocks or projectors plugged to any of these outlets either, as far as I can remember from the four years I was in these classrooms.

I have yet to figure out what's technologically superior in these unreachable outlets. One of ÉTS's many WTF facts and moments.

Maybe the placement of the electrical outlets is intended to discourage casual use. If you have to climb a ladder to plug something in, many people won't bother. This helps cut down on electricity consumption.

Any place that has a schedule so tight that a clock being off by 4 minutes will cause you to be considered late and subject to reprimand is just too tightly scheduled for me. Maybe this is a good school for aspiring bus drivers. I'd rather some place a little less clock-bound.

No, it was tried and found that it fails all extant EMI compatibility requirements quite spectacularly.

Obviously, Netgear, Belkin et al sell them anyway under the moniker "HomePlug" by claiming that they don't fall into any of the existing EMC classes. OFCOM still deny that they could possibly be a problem despite the evidence - including evidence from the BBC that they trash digital TV and radio signals.

The EU are slowly working on regulations specifically for them, the drafts of which will effectively ban all the current devices as none of them come close.

Meeting these requirements isn't hard, they just don't bother.

I've heard from several allergists (family friends) who say that even giving them too much milk can trigger an intolerance to lactose. Also, being dealt a shitty hand in the gene area is also a major factor (think asthma).

Lactose intolerance is genetically determined and actually lactose persistence is the rarer variant (only about 30% of the world population can digest lactose as grown ups). Your diet doesn't make a difference.

Allergies are part of the immune system disorders and have an important genetic factor. The specific allergy is acquired though, frequent exposure at an early age is usually indicative.

My ex-wife was bi-polar. My kids and I joke about it all the time. I have diabetes. I joke about that all the time.

If diabetes results in me having have high levels of sugar in my blood, does that mean that vampires would think of me as dessert?

What's the opposite of "I haven't been trolled"?

Faggotry is genetically determined and actually queer erection persistence is the rarer variant (only about 30% of the world population can digest semen as grown ups). Your upbringing doesn't make a difference.
Faggotry is part of the eye system disorders and make a man look like a woman to queers. The specific queerness is acquired though, frequent exposure at an early age to lisping homos is usually indicative.

Sounds all too familiar...

My ex-wife was bi-polar...

Is she dead? Did you preserve the body and lie it on her side of the bed so you'll never feel alone?

Jay:
I have diabetes...

I think I remember that gays are fatter than straight guys. Is that why your wife left you/committed suicide?

Jay:
If diabetes results in me having have high levels of sugar in my cum, does that mean that vaginas would think of me as dessert?

I don't know. I've never been a vagina and I don't think one has ever tasted you. Ever get a paternity test done?

There is an even lower circle of hell reserved for self-righteous grammar nazis. [snip] You may laugh and think it doesn't matter, but every educated person who sees what you write is judging you just a I am, and they are repulsed.
Agreed. Educated people usually have better things to do than educate retards...
I am greatly offended by your choice of words. I have a son that was retarded, and let me assure you that it is not a matter to joke about.
I believe people had the curious idea that you should not joke about things that are important, when in fact those are the things that are most worth joking about.
Yeah, like the dumb commercials about child pornography. You're misguided morality doesn't apply to me once I'm within the confines of my own basement.

Nope, he's a troll, and the worst kind too. The kind that repeats the same stupid shit thinking it/they are funny.

Oh, I hate those one-trick ponies!
