Wait, there’s something scrawled on the corner down here in crayon…

i’m lazy

Musk is pushing for drastic federal budget cuts targeting programs for vulnerable populations

Billionaire cuts services for the poor. Bears continue to shit in the woods. What next? The sun rises in the morning?

But for people who those are features, they are very likely to be Muslim or at the least Arabic

Uh, I don’t think so. Perhaps very specifically the religious laws, but besides that you don’t have to look far among westerners to find those for whom…

man’s arrogance, literal slaves, rampant misogyny, homophobia […] one of the hottest places in the world and extremely expensive

… are rather a nice prospect, actually.

Can’t scare me out of my vicious business practices with a threat of assassination if I hate myself so much I want to die 😎

I think a major issue is that if the corporation cannot find work for all of its employees, how will it pay them? And since, presumably, there will be admin staff required who also need to be paid, the amount this corporation will charge the employers of the workers will have to be more than is paid to the workers. If this amount is significant, employers can poach employees from the “union corp” by offering more money, while still saving themselves money.

The only part I disagree with is stone/pounds for people’s weight. Although we use stone, I’ve never heard someone use pounds… Maybe if you’re in Weight Watchers or something, but otherwise it’d be rounded to the nearest half a stone (e.g. 9 and a half stone)

Sounds utterly weird, but I’m intrigued

Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it’s actually about.

A “public company” is one that has shares that are publicly traded. Common terminology, but yes it is confusing compared to private vs state ownership.

Edit: you’re right though, using “privatisation” is doubly confusing… That’s not so common. Perhaps that’s what you meant!

Alternatively if you can really make the pasta gather an internal sphere of liquid, just cook it in sauce and it could actually be amazing.

But hark! Another track appears beside the river. Surely this will be the easier route? Surely this will not lead to yet another bridge, larger and more difficult to cross than the last? Yes, indeed, I shall take this alternative track, that I might find myself easier bridges to cross.

It depends how much boiling water you need per day. Unless you use a LOT it’s more efficient (cost/energy wise) to use a kettle. Plus there’s a significant upfront cost to install a boiling water tap. However, if you drink a shitload of tea, or use a lot of boiling water in cooking, it’s generally better to have the on tap option.

Seriously cool piece of kit! I have no use for it whatsoever, but can’t help but wish I did.

I don’t need the money but I’ll fuckin take it 😎

I had a “whoa” once, or perhaps something slightly more extreme. The condition wasn’t, particularly - I had a lump on my finger as a kid. The first doctor said it would go away on its own, which it didn’t at all, 2 years later it was much worse and started to hurt, so back we went. The next doctor suggested basically that we just cut it open and see what it was lmao, so that we did. He sliced it with a scalpel there and then, while, me, the doctor, and my dad peered at it.

As soon as the scalpel went in there was a small explosion of goo from in there and both my dad and the doctor recoiled in horror (“whoa!” lol). He proceeded to poke around in the goo hole somewhat with a needle (looking back this seems like an odd way to do things) and fished out a ~inch long hawthorn that had just been in there, chilling for the past 2 years.

What exactly does Copilot even do that would enable you to be in more than one meeting at a time?

Personally I prefer to call myself “fattened”, like a pig I suppose, as this clarifies that it is something that has happened to me, not simply something that I am. It’s not my fault, it’s the mince pies’ fault!

Neither really convey that it did hit Earth('s atmosphere) and just burned up harmlessly. The title reads like it missed, in which case it doesn’t make much sense to me to mention Siberia at all.
