We’re talking about Southern US pronunciation so much that I read your comment from “do I” onwards as if it was being spoken like a Southern Belle.

I say “all of y’all” and make a point to really emphasize the “'”.

Good, thanks. You?

Good, thanks. You?

Good, thanks. You?

Good, thanks. You?

Same thing happened here in the UK years ago. “Want to make out democracy better?” “Nah, mate.”

If you’ve got a spare quarter-hour, take a listen to the disquiet all those gifts can cause.

Yeah, it’s also exactly what the EU and it’s predecessors exist to prevent. We’ve never had a period of prolonged peace in Europe like we have now. And these utter fucking slabs want to undo it.

SUKBRICK sounds like a demeaning act that we brought on ourselves so lets go with that.

Do you know which Jack is your favourite? You should have a contest determine your favourite Jack. A Jack-Off, if you will.

And My Axe.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn’t matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

This is really niche, but most organisations have a Microsoft Active Directory, or equivalent, that tracks users, their credentials, and their permissions. The sign of a bad AD admin: permissions directly applied to user objects without any intermediary objects or abstraction in AD.

Obviously not meant to be taken literally. It refers to all manufacturers of dairy products.

“Federation” is like “non-fungible token”. Everyone knows what it is, but they’ve never heard it called that.

Fully dressed for WFH. Nude for in-office. Nude with shoes on for client meeting (in-office or WFH).

Yeah, I suspect that’s probably true. The prescribed maintenance routine on my VW suddenly got very, very lax after 250,000 miles.

The secret to keeping water hot is minimising surface area and, of course, insulation. If you want instant hot water you can actually buy electric hot water tanks with, say, 10-15L capacities that go under the sink so the hot water only needs to travel the 50cm or so. Very cheap and much more simple than instant heaters.

Screaming?

…“Outside Pants”? I feel like this might be the real tip here. Please, explain.
