Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

That sounds like a really interesting field. I just realised there are Silicon Valley scenes that are about this as well...

Do you know what they were trying to learn?

Not really but it took ages and paid better than most. We had to read a set of written instructions so I think they were testing those, because everyone got given the same model of phones and afterwards we had to talk about how we found the instructions and how easy was it. The phones had those annoying little metal gates in them that some candybars used to have. I remember being completely weirded out by it.

Oh I haven't watched Silicon Valley, is it good?

I am struggling to follow, what are the little metal gates in candy bars? I have a bad memory 😅
