Like others have pointed out, It was indeed very much tongue-in-cheek.

Just what we needed, more surveillance /s
These days, most companies that work with web based products are under pressure from upper management to “use AI”, as there’s a fear of missing out if they don’t. Now, management doesn’t necessarily have any idea what they should use it for, so they leave that to product managers and such. They don’t have any idea, either, and so they look at what features others have built and find a way to adapt one or more of those to fit their own products.
Slap on back, job well done, clueless upper management happy, even though money and time have been spent and the revenue remains the same.
I said “jesus christ” to a teacher (3rd grade’ish), why I can’t remember but probably because I was asked to do something I felt was silly. Turned out the teacher was very religious and accused me of blasphemy, and was really up in arms about it. He invited my mom to a meeting to discuss the issue but, according to my mom, quickly dropped the whole thing when my mom had said “jesus christ” 5 times in the same amount of minutes.
I guess I know who taught me to use that phrase.
If you’re diligent you could be looking at decades of not installing crap!
Same in Norway, many providers have been offering 10Gb for a while now.
I dreamt I visited Jurassic Park with my class from elementary school. Everyone got eaten except me.
Except where trams are involved. Those have a license to kill.
Me neither. It was just ridiculous. When it got to the point where the floor board on the Eclipse mysteriously fell out it was just too all too much, for me. How people who know and love cars ever could think that movie was great is beyond me.
I saw one of the later movies in the cinema, since my date wanted to see it. I felt it was some of the worst goo I’d ever seen, while my date thought it was “fantastic”. I remember thinking “this isn’t going to work out…”, hehe.
Harald Fairhair would probably be amazed at the lack of bloodshed during political discussions.
Apparently a foldable OLED screen is, typically expected to last at least 200.000 folds. That’s more than a 100 folds/day for 5 years. I’d take my chances on one, I think.
How the heck do you clean your old carburators? /j
A bit off topic; a friend of mine purchased a play mat for his kid, one of those you put on the floor with a birdseye view of roads, buildings etc., from wish (yeah, expectations weren’t high to begin with). When it arrived he realized it was roughly 30 by 30 centimeters.
We went back and looked at the listing on wish, and while no dimensions were listed, the one image it had was of a kid sitting on the mat playing. That kid must’ve been less than 5 centimeters tall.
Same in Norwegian.
Looks like this one is a popular candidate for the longest official word:
Minoritetsladningsbærerdiffusjonskoeffisientmålingsapparatur.
It’s an instrument for measuring the distance between particles in crystalline materials.
I did that a bit, for C64 games. I recall it being a mix of fun, tedious and extremely frustrating if there was even the slightest transmission interference while recording, then all you could do was wait for the next transmission and hope they went better.
True, microsoft is a wehrmacht nazi soldier where as apple is full on gestapo.
Can’t hold back spending taxpayer money when shopping for tools to keep the taxpayer down. /s
Europe has better fuel, due to generally more stringent requirements with regards to emissions.
Source: My dad, who used to work with regulations around such things.
Mhm, even when prices are at outrage levels in the US it’s probably half the price of what it typically sells for in Europe.
The quality is a little better, though (e.g. less sulfur, typically of a higher octane rating).
Uninstalled.
Luckily I/people I interact with never used it much.
