The proper response would have been to apologize at the first opportunity.

Don't forget 0, that's valid as well.

Thanks for the non-dismissive reply and for the additional context. Just to clarify, I have only voiced my view on the "avoid killing innocents when others are in danger" situation - I admittedly lack the knowledge regarding the big picture to be able to pass judgement or offer solutions. But it seems the answer to your last question is pretty clear: everybody involved in this situation in any way is bad for some degree.

Imagine a comic strip where the Joker is holding a kid hostage at gunpoint. With his other gun he repeatedly shoots random people on the street. Batman shows up but does nothing, for he doesn't want the boy to die. Bam, another passerby dead. And another. Bam-bam, this time it's a twofer. Then Superman shows up and eye-lasers the Joker cleanly in half along with the kid.

Whose action resulted in fewer deaths?

Thanks for the heads up, I had no cracking issues yet, but after years of daily use the screen protector got worn out and the kickstand broke loose. Now I'm on the second one of the same model, but it's still going strong with no real issues.

These are the things I'm glad I got back then and would get again if they broke, that fit the price category:

  • an onion comb for dicing
  • shoehorn with a long handle
  • 3 stage knife sharpening station
  • wireless phone charger (no more fiddling in the dark with the cable)
  • magnetic keychain holder (from AntPocket tools)
  • Unicorn Beetle Pro phone case and belt holster (if you're on board with the aesthetic)
  • a pair of Klim earbuds (wired, with foam tips)

Yes, that's my conclusion as well. What job doesn't require any of these?

Shouldn't a dishwasher or cook be able to read and follow instructions, like regarding water temperature, food safety, etc?

I guess it's not about actually not being able to read, just either not caring to read or ignoring what's written.

 

Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled "push" for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this "disability" wouldn't be detrimental?

"has times where we use 100% renewables. You cant just compare momentary data to averages"

Then feel free to cite averages instead ¯\(ツ)

Milk for the Khorneflakes!

 

AFAIK it all boils down to the fact that during embryonal development our cells, which at that point were just a blob of undifferentiated autonomous chemical machines, somehow managed to unanimously agree upon the cardinal directions (up-down, left-right, front-back) for future development - and thanks to this, we don't have toes growing out of our ears.
