I think it’s a joke that American houses (in the eyes of Europeans) are made out of sticks (stud framing in the house) and paper (drywall is made from gypsum and has a paper backing)

In European countries, their houses are made of tougher materials like stone, concrete, or some other material I’m forgetting about

It’s a known thing in America that stray bullets end up in people’s houses (and sometimes their residents) when it’s an American holiday like 4th of July or Memorial Day

Probably iOS. I use AdGuard and sideload a YouTube tweak to dodge most of the ads on my browsing experience

It’s wild how short some videos are with sponsorblock enabled to skip almost everything. I don’t watch LTT for ethical reasons anymore, but damn, did some 10 minute videos go by in like 2 minutes

As an American, I too need to know where the bag went

My favorite version of this joke was seeing NakeyJakey spell Drew as Jrew as a gag, which makes Anjrew a valid spelling too

Soon enough we’ll see robots argue against each other about tipping culture

This is a good move for wiki maintainers and users. Fandom needs to lose their stranglehold over the wiki farm “market”. Info like this shouldn’t be polluted and bloated with advertisements and it shouldn’t be able to be modified by the whims of Fandom either.

The ‘H’ and ‘S’ in Rhode Island are already silent, so it really is a meme saying that they live in Rhode Island

It’s a subversion of the “I live in Spain, but the ‘S’ is silent” joke

The first author to be on New York Times Best Sellers list for millennia

It is kind of a new thing, but there has been more activity within recent years for employees at tech companies to unionize. Most notable would probably be NPR, Alphabet, and NYT

It would probably be Cane’s, because I eat there a fair amount and it’s like B-tier fried chicken for an okay price. If we wanna go international, then it’s Kyochon. It’s a Korean Fried Chicken chain with 1 location in America and a bunch in Korea

Second would either be McDonalds or Dairy Queen for their McFlurry/blizzard or their super artificial ice cream. Honestly, I know there is better ice cream, but I have an Anton Ego flashback (from Ratatouille) whenever I take a bite/lick of ice cream and am reminded of the trips I took with my mom when we walked over to Dairy Queen together

How it this technology related? Is it because the person of interest is a tech exec? I don’t think a person’s diet (or their oddly justified and unfounded blood transfusions) really counts as tech news

When I applied, I never got a notification that it got approved, but I could post and comment on that instance. So you might have been in a similar situation as me or the admins are still dealing with a large influx of people

I want to know if the “autopilot” (adaptive cruise control) was disabled before impact so that the driver was found at fault. Despite Tesla disabling it way after the point the driver can properly react and correct the situation

I agree with the sentiment, but there is something about the way that it’s written makes me want to disagree with the author. I think it’s their tone that they’re using in their writing.

Anyways, a part of this is confirming to me that the people calling for RTO are surprised at the outcome when they face attrition and recruitment trouble. There’s no way that when they call for RTO nowadays that they shouldn’t expect those problems.

If you’re keeping compensation and benefits the same, but take away WFH, don’t be surprised when people jump for the same job with WFH. You need to account for the lack of WFH with something (a lot more money)

I wonder if it will be a repeat of last time where telecom companies took the money and did nothing with it

I’m hopeful that at least a quarter of it will make it to homes/areas that need it

If you’re lazy, here are the 7:

The Trump Organization

FTX

Fox Corporation

Twitter

Meta

Spirit Airlines

TikTok
