I will only DM family & close friends. Nothing personal, but sometimes I don’t trust my judgement.

We need to pay the CEO millions, because there’s a lot of competition for people to fill the top job.

We pay peanuts for the monkeys because we can replace them in seconds if they get uppity.

SEAGOON: I'll show you, old faithful servant.
FX: Phone rings.
SEAGOON: Yes?

Has she tried not being a woman and an immigrant? Those are probably the biggest reasons she’s not getting traction over there!

You upload sixteen commits, what d’you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Concur, but IMO, Dahl's story is also effective without illustration.

If I tried with my tie, I’d end up with a three inch long tie and knot the size of a baseball.

If he can prove he was ‘just following orders’, at least he’ll take down Hegseth at the same time.

And so marked the date when the rest of the world stopped eating anything from the US.

Well, stopped eating the few things we still imported, anyway.

There is a bias in online communities, due to the average tech-awareness being considerably higher than the general publics.

I was a phone salesman for a while:

General consensus was iPhone for the tech illiterate,
Android for those who can deal with things like malware,
Windows for, well, no-one.

Oddly enough we (the rest of the world) are interested - unlike US citizens, we know we live in an interconnected society, and this result may be a bellwether of future US sanity.

Trump definitely would be the one guy that gets irritated enough to shoot Columbo.

By ‘car-hating’, do you really mean ‘dedicated to efficient means of transportation in a city more than a hundred times as dense than the average in the US’ where cars make absolutely no sense compared to good public transport unless you’re a rugged individualist who doesn’t give a shit about others

I was at Imperial in ‘87 reading Computer Science with a young lady studying geology.

Fifteen years later I met her again - she had her PhD, and was functionally unemployable, unless someone with tenure dropped dead.

Wasn’t sure if that was obvious or not.

In the sense that 10 vaccinated children died of anything?

When it comes down to it: poor people commit more crimes than middle class people.

Easiest way to get rid of poor people? Give them money.

(Please note I have no idea how many crimes really rich people commit: at least 34 I think)

I have the box set somewhere in the house. But it’s been lost for about four years.
