How are they not getting the book thrown at them by Microsoft?

The Sun being fake is a new one to me.

I wonder if anyone rich enough has decided on undertaking the quest to get and hold as many citizenships as possible.

There’d probably be difficulty though getting simultaneous citizenships for North Korea / South Korea citizenship, Russia / Ukraine, or Republic of China / People’s Republic of China.

How can someone have four simultaneous citizenships?

Is it money? Gotta be money.

Appliances are super expensive. It doesn’t help that so many of them have planned obsolescence built in so they fail just after their warranty period.

One little thing I learned is that upper “tier” appliances that cost more share many of the same components as cheaper models. The fancy clothes washing machine might have a color touchscreen but the motors and control boards are the same, so you could save a lot of money by just getting the cheaper model with buttons rather than one that is capable of running Skyrim.

A good way to check is to look for maintenance manuals for these appliances. If you see parts lists that are shared between the more expensive and cheaper models, you’re better off going with the cheaper one.

Huh. That’s why it is never working for me.

And it gave you your daily dose of crazy in the pre-Internet age.

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

This is why you need to be very careful when pledging an allegiance to any organization. Some are good, some are good but flawed, and some are ok with outright war crimes. Those tend to be also ok with murder of even their own members.

I was disappointed when the US Congress cafeteria renamed Freedom Fries back to French Fries.

This is why super tacky, gaudy, ridiculous ties should be worn. It draws attention away from the quality of your work so you can do it with complete mediocrity that’s symbolic of bureaucracy.

Contrasting bright colors. Polka dots. Razzle Dazzle. American flag. Busy stripes. Mildly phallic and vaginal but not quite HR reportable.

Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties‽

It’s not just a kernel, it’s a lifestyle.

Your device seems to be stuck 0.575 years in the past!

drive an Uber or whatever, go off to find a cheap place to live and go to the beach for a year.

Shockingly tone-deaf.

When I was laid off, my savings were running very low after about 3 months until I was able to get another job.

Absolutely no way I would be able to take a year off to go to the beach. It’s like he doesn’t realize we all aren’t CEOs.
