Impala is rather nice, as is Kudu.

On the bright side the new version of Doom is released today! Good luck with the exam.

Don't think I want to see that one.

And the fake tax refunds, had one that looked very much like an HMRC mail, but they don't send attachments.

Genuinely made me chuckle out loud, enough for co-workers to try and peak at my monitor.

ninja agile - agile, but the company has an aversion to any agile references because 'Agile doesn't work for us' so you have to hide it.

I was once told the World Series was called such as it was originally sponsored by a newspaper called 'The World'(or similar) - True or False

Yeah, I mean who would think that football would actually include using your feet to control the ball?

Data recovery from SSD is easy - you go to your last back up. Knowing SSD are harder to recover when they kaput you are of course more conscientious in your back up routines. :laugh:

And also why I said it would need statistically valid data to prove it either way :-).

More examples isn't a significant statistic though is it? What are the survival (or maybe full recovery rates) in the two groups - I would put a pretty large sum of money on the fact that modern medicine has a higher success rate than prayer alone. That is the whole point behind why these parents are delinquent.

Think I know a fair few medical students who might disagree with that statement, what the monastic hospitals did do was start to apply systemic methods (i.e. consistent treatments of the same ailment which could then be assessed and improved)

Evidence appears to suggest otherwise, I would suggest you cite scientifically valid statistics to back up your statement.

Apologies if I read to much into some of your comments about directors behaviour I read it that the daily is being used a space to monitor the teams 'loading'. It does sound like the directors attitude is stinky and I would expect scrum master or agile coach to be pushing back on the directors. BTW, To me the stand up doesn't have to be at start of day so it doesn't police timeliness, I've worked in a few teams where it has middle of the day or last thing - whatever suits the team it's their meeting (and as such is as valuable, long / short or existent as the team needs). As for loading - I would expect any decent manager to understand how loading / overloading and creative thinking work - that is part of what they are paid for. Although (again) they will need some tutoring if they don't understand it.

Sounds like your scrum master and/or agile coach need to help the management along - you know understanding servant leadership, supporting the team, reading information radiators (especially if you use tfs teach them what cuflow does as well as burn down).
