“The theory”… You make it sound like MAD is some obscure fact. I so hope that is not the case. But maybe… Fuck…

That fucker never works! Sometimes I conclude it’s malware but usually I just try and try and try. UI is messed up. Fingers don’t do what I want. Screen is broken. Drives me mad!

Sharpener or edge-straightener?

Short but to the point comment: at 22, you have more than 10 years to have children. Probably closer to 20. Release yourself from the invisible trap you are in.

It refers to the part that makes it into Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. Even stretching it, it supplies Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. The possessive form does not indicate control over all or part of the supply.

My water supply comes from the county. Your air supply comes from, well… the air, or the Earth.

So very true. No-one seems to reason like this with other work areas.

Does anyone assume the office assistant that orders pens and notebooks to be able to, or expected to, fix any issue related to written down notes?

Does anyone assume the person incharge of keeping tools in a workshop to fix issues related to actually using the tools?

Does anyone assume the person responsible for chemicals in a lab to solve issues with s running experiment?

Does anyone assume that it is the chefs responsibility for you to know reasonable etiquette and not slurp your soups and wipe your mouth with with your tie?

There is a difference between supplying a working, correct tool and doing the work that uses it and I’m not even in IT…

But you want to actively not-accuse her…
