My daughters new nursery school has just sent out an email to the parents of everyone starting in September... And not bcc'd anyone, so we now have the email addresses, first and last names of the parents of every kid at the nursery.

How are organisations still doing this?!

One of my job's suppliers did this last year, when they sent a price increase email to everyone. We had words with them and nearly closed our account, as several names on the list were nearby competitors despite supposedly having an exclusivity agreement.

To contribute to apocalypse-chat, it's actually been cooler today than yesterday in Northwest Wales. The temperature peaked at about 11, and has gone down slightly since. We even had a sudden rainburst early this afternoon. It's still too bloody hot, but not "please kill me" hot.

I'm fairly sure it's a nested table set. My grandmother used to have one when I was a kid. They slot under each other like nesting dolls.

Also the seat/table(?) that the photo is on has three support wood beams near it's base. Why not four, that's just how you do that right... also why is there their those heightened bits on top, when it is clearly it's meant to have something resting on it, and that just makes that harder to do? Oh god now you have me actually looking at all the tiny details that I mean probably do have like some sort explanation I guess but are just that bit off.

Why are there so many!

My dude. It's from a nesting set of tables. It has three supports so you can slide the tables in.

The 'heightened details' looks pretty much like 'a stack of placemats' or similar. It's weird that there's a picture on that, sure, but the table itself is genuinely extremely normal.

There's plenty that's weird in that picture (there's a lizard in the chair for starters) but ffs that's a perfectly normal table.

Because they're nesting tables, like I said, they have stretchers on three sides (horizontal beams on furniture to keep the legs from splaying are called stretchers) and the open side is so you can put the smaller tables underneath the larger ones.

The chair presumably has them on the sides because the rear legs tilt backwards and so are under tension.

Ah got it, so that would be why the three tables in the photo are of different heights I guess?

Anyway as a true conservative I say only birds should nest and nesting tables are immoral at a most basic level. :colbert:

Yes, as if you want to put tables of the same size inside each other you would generally need a well equipped physics lab.

That's also why there are slots in the apron, the top of the smaller table goes into them.

I think it's an electronic photo frame, which I hope is why it's plugged in, though it still doesn't explain why it's plugged into the coffee maker.

She went visit the dulux factory and got a photo with the dog so it's quite likely.

I mean it could just be a pure coincidence, water droplets on grass can start fires.

However the whole thing is too close to 'Jewish space lasers' and the Euler diagram of "climate change is a hoax and everything new is to control you" and neo-nazis is 'yes' at this point thanks to QAnon.

This is one of those times when what is being said is so bat poo poo crazy I honestly don't know if they were trying to be subtle about a "blame the Jews for everything" thing, or if they were legit thinking satellites were beaming lasers into dew on the ground to start fires.

Most likely both I guess. :shrug:

Oh, yeah okay. That does explain the random capitalization. Just thought they were doing the classic old person randomly capitalize thing rant.
