“Furthermore and completely unrelated, the employee who called for the investigation has retired, effective immediately”

It’s not even all usage, it’s all the other fees they slap on to make more profit.

Reminds me of the two spies.

An old CIA agent and an old KGB agent, both retired, are having a drink together, talking about old times. The CIA agent says, “The Russian propaganda is fantastic, you can convince most of your people that whatever you do is the right thing using tv, radio and everything!” The KGB agent responds, “Thank you, but the American propaganda machine is the greatest ever, most of your people don’t even know they’re being brainwashed!”

The CIA man says, “But we don’t use propaganda…”

Sign points to the turnoff to Rovaniemi.

And how about the politicians?

Personally, I define an expat as someone living in another country and not learning the language/customs.

They will never be accepted as a local because of this.

Don’t forget to bring your Christmas wish list for Santa in Rovaniemi then.

Smart workers then get contracts that specify anything over two hours a week is overtime.

I know someone working there. I was in a few group calls he organised using teams where I used an anonymous login. Then Microsoft forced you to make an account to use it, so I declined after that.

Skype used to be peer to peer. Your call went from you to your friend (whomever). Microsoft decided that they couldn’t mitm that setup to scrape data; so, soon after they acquired Skype, they made all calls go through their servers.

Then they tried to make Skype make more money, since those servers aren’t free. Then they made teams and copied half the code into that, and cludged the rest to make it hold together.

I’m guessing you haven’t tried to do it. I can spend twenty minutes trying to read something my father-in-law needs help with over video chat. From his “and how do I turn the back camera on?”, to my “no back a bit and left. The other left”, and the classic “you turned off your video, let me call you back” because it’s faster than guiding him on how to turn it on while he swears that he didn’t press anything.

I read the article. It says they are burning natural gas to make electricity and collecting carbon credits for doing so.

And now?

Oh that’s great. Burning fossil fuels for carbon credits.

Something I haven’t seen discussed is that Kamala is a woman. There are a lot of misogynistic voters who will refuse to vote for a woman.

He could postpone the election if America is at war.

“We have always been at war with Eastasia”

We don’t want him back now. You’ve ruined him.

The scary newsreader blue bird should do it. Or Dave Grohl with Animal.

Just like my local dive…

Companies are made up of people. Companies save money by firing the most expensive people, the most experienced. The ones left have a lot less experience.
