I was working in Sydney and the instructions for dropping off the off-site backup tapes said "turn left at the Woman In Red fountain".

I had never heard of the Babylon Bee and I just took a look at it. Are you saying you think The Onion is the very political one, or did I misread your sentence?

When a company says "cost of living" they mean their own, not their employees. So-called COLA adjustments are for Cost of Hiring, or Cost of Employee Retention. The distinction is …

Maybe they did. Do you suppose they got scammed on eBay - which they "perfectly" remember buying it from - or from the Red Cross, which they have an invoice for?

Not all of the videos are Matrix City, some are real places.

The bigger companies used their cash during the pandemic to go on a hiring spree, both bloating their headcount and their overall salaries. The smaller/lower tier companies did not…

At the same time, it also seems to accept unintelligible grunting as a correct pronunciation for many questions, and not just German.

I'm sure it's not the best language learning tool around, but it has taught me enough of three different languages to visit a foreign country, ask for directions, order things, etc…

Wasn't one of their initial monetization ideas that crowdsourced translations - from amateurs, not even paid contractors - would outperform AI translation? The translation thing ne…

Delivery from online, it's not just for spammers. In fact, every medical insurance provider I've had for years has tried to push me onto their in-house pharmaceutical delivery serv…

They keep opening new branches around here. They are glorified ATM lobbies with minimal staff who will often direct you to use an ATM for anything that an ATM can do. But they do k…

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if more runners do die from cancer. Because they're not falling victim to all the other things that are improved by cardio fitness, etc.

YMMV, apparently. For me, the standard medium for a meeting for decades been face to face, with videoconference in second, long before covid changed everything. I have always hated…

This regulation is saying that if you did build an autonomous Russian roulette revolver, there's no requirement to outfit it with a pistol grip and a trigger. If there is a fully d…

So over 800k people over the age of 50 have died from covid in the US. Are you saying that it's "dishonest" to estimate that at least 1% of them are grandparents involved in childc…

It's a great analogy because the no-harm-to-others argument doesn't apply in either case. In an incident, an un-seat-belted occupant can turn into a projectile and harm or kill oth…

There are only a few pieces in that set that don't appear in hundreds of other sets: The baseplate is custom and the most egregious example of what you are talking about, of course…

> it means that half the pieces are now custom made for the particular set I do not believe this is true. There are Lego enthusiasts that thoroughly review every new set and are ca…

I think it's common in colloquial speech but rarely used in formal speech these days.

This event is not being regarded as notable because it is a goal in and of itself (to most people). It's notable because it has never happened before, was unthinkable in the not so…

And then the brick and mortar store says "oh and also we want 30% of anything the customer purchases through your product for ever" - Yes, yes I do think we would be saying the sam…
