Orange Party in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Every day from May to end September Nottingham Estate bring their orange pulp and low grade fruit here to the delight of hundreds of elephants, baboons, warthogs and even Eland. It's an incredible spectacle!!

@MCCCANM I remember the BOAC books, and wings after a given number of air miles.
Flying was different in those days.
Same for boats when crossing the equator.
In 1982 a Tanzanian airline flight was hijacked, ending up at Stansted airport causing the first aviation hijack crisis in the UK and resulting in the SAS hiring a British Airways 737 for the day to practise assaulting the jet.
Short thread on a forgotten crisis...
Mining engineers also blow things up, break expensive equipment, and when they're not doing that, they're upsetting environmentalists and social groups. 😄
This $tnr.v spat is most humorous. It appears the company has forgotten that the shareholders are the owners, they serve the shareholders. Management seem to mistakenly think it's "their" company. And that's dead wrong, the company belongs to the owners.

CTO: We lost our strongest backend engineer today.
Founder: The one handling infra and outages?
CTO: Yes.
Founder: Did a bigger company hire him?
CTO: No.
Founder: Then why quit?
CTO: He said he was exhausted.
Founder: From the workload?
CTO: Not exactly. From watching the same database bottleneck, same queue lag, same deployment mistakes come back every month.
Founder: That happens in fast moving teams.
CTO: He agreed. What he could not accept was that every fix was temporary because nobody wanted to slow down and clean the system properly.
Founder: We had deadlines.
CTO: He had standards.
Founder: So he left because the work was hard?
CTO: No. He left because he was not doing engineering anymore. He was just containing damage.
The best engineers do not hate hard problems.
They hate preventable problems that management keeps normalizing.
