Yes, but then it wouldn't be an electric Karmann Ghia, which is the prettiest thing on the planet.

what’s kept them in business for literally a century

1. find a new adverb
2. no, it was buying other companies and sucking them dry. Go read some Cringely.

OneDrive

We call it OneChive

i feel like the linux userbase is already fairly low

Linux desktops now outnumber mac desktops, apparently.

emails

Yeah, don't hire that guy.

The first two things I saw:

• docker seems to be required
• the download page seems to require javascript

Too much neu hype. Done.

Ah, sweet summer child.

Acer

This is how i know that purchase was ill-advised.

Infact

Not a word.

I've worked 2 jobs for 22 years, my side-gig being the 22-year one while my day-job moves about.

Working remotely has allowed me to change addresses, cities, regions, coasts, countries, and time zones many times in those 22 years. Had there been enough work in the side gig, I would have been happy to make it my primary job; but I say that as I know the day job has taught me techniques and tools I would maybe never have been able to bring to the side gig without that incentive.

Seeing people in the flesh is neat and keen and fetch, or whatever. But I'll reserve that for my friends.

When it comes down to it, I have the power to require that a job pay me for every moment I do things on their behalf; and that includes commuting. I don't want to do it, and they don't want to pay me to do it, so I don't.

In French, the expression "du coup" (it means something like "therefore" or "so" or "thus") can be used in place of like 10 other expressions.

• Ainsi
• Donc
• Alors
• Tout à coup
• Soudainement
• En conclusion
• Si je comprends bien
• De ce fait
• Ce qui fait que
• En conséquence
• Consequémment

But "consequently" and "so" and "in conclusion" can all be replaced by "therefore" in English as well as in French ... if one accepts a lack of nuance and depth.

There are subtle differences in all of them, and for instance switching "suddenly" for "if I understand well" would often confuse the listener.

沉鱼落雁 (chén yú luò yàn) - literally "sinking fish and grounding geese" - describes a beautiful woman.

I know a woman who could "make fish stop swimming" as well. We'd also say she could "stop traffic" in that people could forget they were supposed to be driving.

She's so gorgeous your brain hiccups.

It's part of salary negotiation for me. When I figure how much they have to pay me, I add some more in if it's o365 or teams.

It's a pittance, easily dwarfed by a RTO tax or forced standby tax, but it's in there.

I was run over 45 years agoo. No fun name but we do get to tease the driver at gatherings to this day.

...and they want the sentences to be below the bar so the sympathizers won't feel it's worth "outing" themselves as seditious scum, so each one will pass.

Better the light sentence that sticks vs the proper sentence that gets bounced.

week-long

Their union struggle is with their paycheque-issuer .

If they're contractors then it's with the contract house.

But....is it?

Yeah. There's almost NO brands mentioned, so I'm thinking everything but the CPU is junk.

And it's from Newegg, whose unofficial slogan is "one you Newegg, you know better"

Ha! Your AI copy made your reply sound like you were making glimpse's problems all about you.

Yes! If you're going to be a completely vapid lazy halfwit dumpster, at least be consistent.
