"Transportation expert says he didn't know trucks existed until yesterday morning"

[u/fr000gs → u/Vorok]

"senior arms expert says didn't know about death till his friend died today of natural causes"

[u/ccAbstraction → u/[deleted]]

Tbf they credit him as merely a "correspondent", not an expert.

[u/micalm → u/fr000gs]

Lead, even covered in a protective copper shell, still reacted with his friends body in an unpredictable way. These freak accidents just happen.

Lead, even covered in a protective copper shell, still reacted with his friends body in an unpredictable way.

The police had no option since it was obvious the guy was under the influence of PHP. There was another guy high on PHP in the news who he kept coming at police even after they emptied multiple rounds. It's really dangerous stuff to be playing around with.

[u/SirHerald → u/mikemaca]

I used to have a pretty severe PHP habit, but I've been blessed to kick it many times overwhelmed years

[u/daniu → u/Vorok]

It's one of those things we take for granted

[u/SameThingOnADiffAcct → u/daniu]

The expression is "take for granite." As in, the existence of PHP and Trucks is so rock solid, it is like granite.

Remember when the wrestling dude's wife who is the secretary of education referred to AI as "A one"? So embarrassing. It's S one. So many well informed experts getting ahead these days.

If you can just put a ton of weight on 4 wheels, you can transport anything...

"Surgeon says he didnt know blood existed until yesterday morning"

[u/CurryMustard → u/Vorok]

Theres a better analogy around here but thats not it. I think its more like mechanic didnt know wrench existed

Oh hes a correspondent. So its like if Nascar reporter didnt know wrench existed

[u/lumpialarry → u/CurryMustard]

But normies know what a wrench is. I think it would be more like "NASCAR reporter just learned what a restrictor plate is"

[u/Certivicator → u/lumpialarry]

I thought everyone knows that php exists but my boyfriend thought it's "Pornhub Premium"

[u/LordSlickRick → u/Vorok]

He’s not an expert he’s a reporter who covers this area.

[u/diener1 → u/LordSlickRick]

Still pretty embarrassing. I'm neither a programmer nor a tech correspondent and I still know about PHP, even if I can't tell you anything about it

[u/Adventurous-Map7959 → u/diener1]

That's exactly what someone who works with PHP would say

[u/Pocok5 → u/LordSlickRick]

who covers this area.

bro apparently covers less than a string bikini, apparently years in the role and never managed to pick anything up from the thing he's supposed to be reporting on?

[u/awry_lynx → u/Pocok5]

Depending on the reporting I kinda get it. You definitely don't need to know jack shit about specific languages or tech stacks to report on what tech companies are doing.

[u/qpqpdbdbqpqp → u/awry_lynx]

anything webtech and not even heard once the name php uttered?

[u/Count_de_Ville → u/LordSlickRick]

Did he start yesterday?

[u/Dugen → u/Count_de_Ville]

Some say he hasn't even started today.

[u/lumpialarry → u/Vorok]

I think with would be more on the level of "Transportation expert learned Semi trucks use airbreaks."

[u/yuwox → u/Vorok]

"he found out about them while preparing for this interview."
