Report claims fraud in Frenchwoman's 'oldest-ever' world record[^] Not really what it seems. She's French and after sixty they have ever so much trouble with numbers.

All you have to do is cut her open and count her rings.

There has been some discussion about the best place to cut someone open to count rings. I have no tangible advice with regards to the correct location.

Well, the obvious thing to lop off, because its lack of skeletal support makes it a simpler operation, would not be any good for dating women.
... In any sense of the word.

I thought French women were best just prior to 70.

The 60 has to do with their lack of a number for 70, 80, 90, . . .

As far as frenchmen go, and they go pretty far, even an empty escargot shell will suffice . . . . . . .

"Zak suggests that in 1934 it was not Calment's daughter Yvonne who died of pleurisy, as official records say, but Jeanne Calment herself. Yvonne then took on her mother's identity in order to avoid paying inheritance tax."
I can believe that entirely.

I woke up to find some wag had written "mong" on my windscreen.
Took me ages to lick it off.

Probably because the frost froze your tongue to the glass. I had the same problem.

... well, if the developers are doing work then surely they are also servers, working for their masters.
but anyway there is such a thing as serverless without servers, pretty much anything designed as a single connection point-to-point is serverless, hell walkie-talkies for instance are serverless.
(just thought of walkies coz today I was "supposed to carry one" around - hah! left the damn thing on the desk and walked away to another floor to do other stuff - crap anyway, couldn't understand a word through the crackle)

Right, but they couldn't make up a new term for that since they already have "peer-to-peer".
They had to invent a new technology ala serverless.

In my experience, what is passed off as "new technology" is often just the same old stuff with a different name.

Kind of like how "microservices" is really just separation of concerns?

LOL. I've spent a lot of time trying to be wowed by microseconds. I've not succeeded.

Try walking into a company that is using them a lot for years with no idea how to actually use them and then try to sort through the mess.
Then you will experience a "wow" moment.

Marketing morons and salesmen are usually of the type that doesn't understand a damned thing about technology, but can talk bollocks about sport with customers till the cows come home.
So you need sports analogies, to get technical points across.
Try
"Do you think it would be possible to have serverless tennis, you **cking moron? The ball has to come from somewhere!"
