That is some serious linguistic contortion. You’re going to pull a muscle.

Let’s call it an even 200 employees. That amounts to, rounded up, .003% of Meta’s staff of 74,067. Do with that info what you will

Solid answer! Guess I’m a cow patty for even asking, but you came to the rescue.

Why was the US funding FOSS projects? That strikes me as weird, inappropriate and suspicious.

That’s why I keep screaming at people to quit their shit jobs. We can whine and cry about pay and hours and management forever; and it’s just that, whining.

FFS, unemployment (in America) is basically at rock bottom and these people acting like it’s 1932. Our labor is our power, make employers compete for it. “Quiet quitting” is for losers, we should be using our leverage.

News like this is a win-win. Employers get a larger labor pool to choose from and employees get better jobs. Rinse and repeat and the tide will lift all boats.

And don’t forget kids! You are interviewing them every bit as much as they are interviewing you. You’re not at an interview to kiss ass and be fake. You’re there to see if the job is a mutual fit.

I got a ticket, in my canoe, for not having my registration paper. The registration number and expiration tag are on the side of the fucking boat. I think the cop was annoyed that I had my license for having a trolling motor on hand, had to nail me somehow.

Think on that, we have to keep two pieces of paper available on a canoe. Had to print them on waterproof paper.

I would have known it was required if the water pig had asked for it when she pulled me over last year.

America’s uptight about “papers please, comrade”.

I don’t even need an ID at my credit union’s drive thru. They look at their camera, they look at their computer, it’s me, done.

I’ve never even heard of a fellow American getting a parasite from meat.

OP beat us both. :(

Can’t say for England, but in America there is such a thing as “fighting words”. So what was said here?

If I say, “I will kill your wife and child in front of your fucking face!”, you’ll probably get away with beating my ass, hands in pockets or no.

^ Exactly this. First thing I thought because it’s so obvious.

Alexander Haig:

Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.

Tiger Direct had a 1GB card in 2002 and it was $900. Blew my money in a 128MB card and lost it. Heart broken.

Experimenting with spreading mine on a cookie sheet to dry in the sun. Chop it up and you got handy fire starters.

EDIT: It works perfectly!

Nope, it’s the government’s mileage standards. If you make a truck with a shorter wheelbase and track, it has to hit higher gas mileage standards. Easier to make a big truck that’s allowed worse mileage.

Also, I did a brief stint selling cars in the 90s. One of the salesmen explained it like this, "What’s the real difference in a big truck and a small truck? Same engineering effort, same production work, all that. Hell, same parts for most systems.

More steel on the big one, and steel is cheap. We can charge a premium for the larger truck."
