Scenario One You decide to take your current target of your affections to the zoo, in the hopes that perhaps you’ll encounter some monitor lizards or some equally sexy animals going at it, hopefully getting everyone in the mood. While craning you neck to try and see if the ocelots are up to anything interesting, you accidentally dump the eight pounds of beef jerky you shoplifted from a 7-11 right in front of a sleeping ocelot....

SCENARIO ONE: Your shitbox leaves you stranded by the side of the road yet again, this time somehow improbably with what sure looks like a leaky belt. You can’t even figure out the physics behind it: somehow the belt seems to be leaking this gooey ichor all over the pulleys, and it’s causing the belt to slip wildly, preventing your engine from actually doing anything useful. Some of that black, gooey fluid drips onto your forehead as you’re under the car, and the shock of the strangely warm fluid causes you to bolt upright, slamming your forehead against some part under there....

Whilst people manage and cope with stress differently, highly stressful occupations can rapidly lead to burnout. These roles consume all your time and energy, damaging your emotional wellbeing. There are careers out there that provide a great balance between salary and quality of life. These are low-stress, high-paying jobs – and they do exist! Whilst every job comes with its own challenges, and no job can ever be 100% stress-free, some roles are less likely to trigger a stress response....

Businesses, on top of their usual marketing turnover, have had to drastically rehaul the photography they use to more accurately reflect the current world. This requires taking a lot of pictures. Camera technology has come so far that even an everyday mobile phone can take a better photo than a high-end camera 10 years ago. This increase in photo quality comes with an increase in file size and complexity, which can only truly be utilised with specialised photo management software....

Over the years I have created a lot of blogs. Most of them are profitable and some of them didn’t bring me even a penny.

If you are setting up a new blog, here’s the most comprehensive checklist you can use to start a successful blog from scratch....

For a short few years between 2003 and 2006, residents of a handful of lucky regions could buy one of the coolest cars to be bestowed with a Smart badge. The Roadster was a modern and quirky take on the old-school British roadster. It was a car that felt so responsive and so alive that it impressed journalists and owners around the world. Even Top Gear enjoyed the ride. But, a common complaint with the low-slung Smart was that it wasn’t all that fast....

Business travel plans used to be reasonably straightforward, just involving linking travel and flights, hotels and conferences, as well as any destination-dependent visas or vaccinations. In the post-pandemic world, national and even international business travel is still possible, but more planning and preparation are necessary to ensure that it can happen safely and within the parameters of local restrictions and laws. Businesses that require or expect their employees to travel, either nationally or internationally, will have to spend more time researching and planning to make sure their travel plans can still work in a socially distanced world....

And don’t get me wrong: I think Goggomobils are goggomogreat, but I love that this same company also made some striking four-door large sedans and even GT cars. They’re kind of like Iso that way, making the Isetta and the Rivolta and Grifo, or even BMW, licensing the Isetta and making the 507 at the same time. Oh and hey, since you brought up BMW, now’s as good a time as any to remind you that BMW ended up buying Glas, which led to strange BMW-badged Glas cars like the BMW 1600 GT, which was basically a re-badged (and slightly engine-embiggened) Glas 1300 GT, complete with little mouse kidney-sized kidney grilles:...

It is a type of logical thinking that begins with a general idea and evolves to a more specific conclusion. ‘If/then’ statements are popular in deductive reasoning; for example, ‘If D=E, then H=K’. Deductive reasoning is effective in the workplace because it helps solve problems and assists decision making. The deductive reasoning process is as follows: Deductive Reasoning and the Workplace Employers value employees with deductive-reasoning skills as this approach uses logic to solve a problem....

The Anglia’s big styling hook was that reverse-raked rear window, and the whole brochure has been die-cut to resemble that. It’s very clever, and the art inside is spectacular. These were scanned by Howard Nourse, by the way, so thank you, Howard. The art is that loose-and-tight midcentury style I’ve mentioned before, the graphic design is colorful and bold, the whole thing is just lovely. So, you know, enjoy. Here’s the scans of the whole thing....

Part of the process will include psychometric tests, like numerical and verbal reasoning, personality assessments and situational judgement tests. The aim of these is to get an objective view of an applicant’s skills, personality and behaviors – without any prior knowledge needed. Situational judgement tests are usually based around a scenario, where the applicant is tasked with deciding on the most appropriate response. You might have to rank the responses from most to least effective, choose the most and least effective, or simply pick the best option....

One thing I try not to do as a journalist is make a habit out of writing scathing takes on things — takedowns just to create controversy and clicks. That’s overdone, doesn’t require a lot of talent, and usually ignores a bunch of context behind why something is the way it is. But then there are times when I just can’t hold my tongue; this is one of those times....
