On a previous project the system had a very high vacuum pump (~1μm Hg).
The vacuum sensor had a specific calibration device which gave the signal inputs corresponding to the vacuum.
I thought this was quite "zen": a box of simulated nothing.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Does the calibration device work on people. There'll be no shortage of test subjects.

Figuring out which people suck isn't hard, and it usually isn't worth the trouble to calibrate "how much".

Post her pictures when you get them. "She" sounds fascinating.

Is lovely Rita a meter maid?

I was thinking the same thing! 
Meanwhile I'm waiting for Lucy to take an interest in me

Oh, yes. The one in the sky?

Nah, she's only interested in diamonds.

|

Maybe. But she's probably a lot more fun than Eleanor.

I would be more worried that whatever picture she sends will just be a cover to infect you with ransomware. I've always been careful to try and avoid viruses and malware but these cryptowalls are something I'm actually scared of.

It's simple rule! If Miss Rita comes to you in personal, and then tells you that she has interest in you (which most women don't do), then go ahead. Give it a try!
But, ignore these digital cases, if you would reply, let's say... She sends the pictures that are not infected or other programs that you may run to harm yourself. It would still open your account to potential spammers, you don't want spam services, do you?
The thing is, ignore these emails. They are simple spam, Outlook, Yahoo and other similar services have a very bad spam filter. Also, as far as a virus is concerned, if you do not click something you don't know. You are protected, safely.  I have been using Internet since a long time, using many networks and I never installed Antivirus in my entire life. Because, I simply do what I know I am doing. Most viral programs are downloaded from "Click me to see my secrets" kind of posts. 
Ignore what you have no idea about, and you're good to go. Um, and yeah, pay my regards to Miss Rita.  Will you?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Facebook where Lil' Rita took an interest in you.

Not repeating thread titles endlessly for different discussions?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Pros:
Really nice building that was built by a bank a few years ago, but who are now moving... The building cost €11 million (it was in the papers at the time) and it's modern, environment friendly etc.
Everyone got two new big-ass monitors to replace their old one.
My commute went from a 15 minute drive to a 5 minute drive (by car) or from a 45 minute drive to approximately 20 minute drive (by bike, which I usually take to work).
Cons:
For now we share the building with aforementioned bank (not sure if that's a con actually...).
We went to a more open space office plan. We do have walls made out of glass, and we're getting stickers to make them less transparent, but it feels a bit uneasy... Everyone hears and sees everything, at least that's how it feels like in my head.
Not sure if the pros outweigh the cons... I guess I'll see in the next few weeks

As long as you don't have dress code it's a plus. It's always nice to see them getting irritated by the lack of aforementioned.

We're on different floors, so it's not such a big deal
