I would have thought OP wanted an achievement in The Stanley Parable (5 years without playing), but they’d need to redo their math in that case…

Yep, the US went from a duopoly (if that), to a triopoly.

Workplace is basically just an internal/“private” Facebook for your company; you have groups, posts, chatting, voice/video calls, and that kind of stuff.

So it basically gave nothing other than “use a UI similar to Facebook’s, but on a platform that only your own employees can access”.

Surely AI-generated.

Inexperienced, but possible. If only bikes worked the same way as America’s best anti-theft measure: a car with manual transmission.

I don’t really understand, how can the bus be so much worse? I assume it’s on the same lanes as the cars? Is it that busses are forced to drive significantly slower than cars, or are you including the time to+from the bus station perhaps?

Where did I say otherwise? If you’re able to go to a normal licenced shop and buy it, of course the example I gave wouldn’t happen.

When you gotta hang out with people (who most likely do/sell other drugs), no risk that you’re going to get an offer to try something else.

But the partition is Microsoft’s own, basically no one has ever touched it themselves. So why can’t they do some housecleaning to make enough space? At the very least, they could fix the error messages to be more descriptive on how to fix it.

The tin-foil in me says it’s just a tactic to get people to switch to Windows 11. “Oh, I have errors with my updates? I should really try upgrading and see if that fixes it, I don’t want any hackers to steal my megabytes…”

I should call her…

I thought one of the big problems with America’s student debt was that you can’t effectively default on it? That it will still persist even after filing for bankruptcy for example?

My friend and I have you locked in a basement. We both have decided your skin will be flayed off. I’m meek, so I’ll be using a foot file, whereas my friend is crazier: he’s going to be using a belt sander.

It’s understandable that you don’t want to get flayed whatsoever, but our basement is soundproofed. As mentioned, I’m meek, so my friend will take over the task if you scream after someone to save you.

Either way, you’re going to suffer and eventually die, but wouldn’t you rather take the chance that something else happens before the deeper parts of your dermis is reached? But nah, the choice is the same because the end result is the same?

Why should wire fraud give such a harsh punishment?

In Sweden, over 1000 packages are listed as a backlog risk-situation. But the numbers are a bit inflated, because each package counts as another item on the list (if Paracetamol 500mg with 30 tablets is marked, it’s probable that both Paracetamol 500mg with 100 tablets and Paracetamol 250mg with 30 tablets will also end up in that situation).

So yeah, there are shortages, especially for medicines that have become increasingly popular (Semaglutid for example)… but it is very likely Brexit has made it worse for the British, as otherwise many could be imported easier from the single market.

Perpetual growth/engagement statistics?

If I sat in my car and made engine noises for 13 hours, I’d die from carbon monoxide poisoning. My adult mind cannot comprehend this.

I think that most smokers don’t even like menthols. When I used to smoke, and someone would ask to bum a cigarette from me, I’d always say “sure, but they’re menthols” and the majority of the time they would decline.

Yeah, MagSafe was the best.

Theobromine is poisonous to dogs, it’s just that many kinds of “chocolate” contain so little cocoa. The US only requires 10% cocoa mass to be called “milk chocolate”, whereas the EU requires at least 35%.

Did they think the majority of Finns who go through Pakkoruotsi remember anything more than “jag heter homopeter”? 😂 Still seems weird, Systembolaget has always accepted my US driver’s license (this was additionally before “real ID”; it basically was like McLovin’s fake ID), despite the fact that they’re not supposed to accept anything other than a passport for people from outside of the EU. And I looked young then, barely 20 years old.

I would have fought them harder instead of taking folköl instead. Regardless, sorry that happened to you, Finns are our brödrafolk, and it’s a shame if the cashier forgot that.
