Do you think of "or" as an exclusive or as the Boolean OR?

 

[Will]

I think of it as an exclusive, unless I am doing PHP or database stuff, which is less and less at the moment. I recall when I first learnt the Boolean and how strange a concept it is to wrap your head around vs. natural language that you've understood for years. Not difficult by any means, but quirky.

How come the only people working in the middle of tourist season are the ones working on roads and public transportation, so you're stuck with twice the population and only half of the roads and bus lines working?

 

[sparkchaser]

The bean counters figure that best time to work on roads is when nobody is going to work because they are on holiday. Said bean counters forgot that the people on holiday still drive these roads.



Why are American tourists so loud?

 

[beer good]

It's not American tourists who are loud, it's Americans, period. They just stand out more surrounded by non-Americans.

Why is my boss in Bali and I'm stuck at the office?
