You know, the one where they said they wouldn't raise rates when they acquired TW? What happened right after that went through; they raised rates. Oh, and they're still dumping employees like mad. Have to pay those exec bonuses somehow.
"Do we know if she came via helicopter?"
Yes, she comes in the helicopter. Just like Barbarella.
"What about Boris Johnson's two-word thought on the matter?"
I don't think "I brainless" counts as a thought.
Typical behaviour from a company that tried to hire washington insiders, pays off state legislators left and right, and is currently in a big campaign to purge headcount.
I just tried to up-vote a comment and a red error message popped up that said something like:
Alert the Moderatrix - The coders need to be whipped!
How old is that?
The last 270 million tax they laid on the public hasn't gone into any part of housing and helping the homeless like it was supposed to; so what makes anyone think THIS tax is going to actually be applied to its spoken cause? The council there is corrupt in not addressing any of the actual problems but like politicians anywhere see someone else's money as the solution to all their problems. It isn't. It never will be. The best thing that could happen to that city would be for all those big corporations to move to another city/state where idiots like these aren't in charge. When you piss off that much of the electorate to satisfy the few, you would think they were far right wing instead of far left wing politicos.
"and in the case of porn, probably a fair proportion that is criminal evidence"
Damn straight. Those dancing bear vids are proof that someone is having a better time than i am.
"And then, obviously, there's all the really crazy stuff, like pornography, who we vote for, embarrassing hobbies/kinks, your racist relatives, medical problems you don't want to talk about, and so forth."
You left out the tools we use and the hardware we have in stock.
Or maybe give them time a barrel; either way would serve.
We all need to implement the Libertarian practice of automatically adding "None Of The Above" to every ballot.
You need to also put on there that if "none of the above" wins, the others are automatically prohibited from running again...
I look forward to a future where all the parties regain their sanity.
TFTFY
It's all good until it's broken and then it's crap like everything else. They have to originally base is on something and that's probably more of a problem.
"rock gently side to side"
Note: Use a good sized rock.
"Always thought it was divisable by 0"
Everything is divisible by 0. There's naught to think about.
It's not a thing.
Crime committed with a gun...
Crime committed with a knife...
Crime committed with a truncheon...
Crime committed with a car...
Crime committed with a lorry...
Those are "things".
Well, leastways not that I would have recognised. Guess i was too dumb or not worth the effort. I did manage to be "gifted" a Mapper tie which had been made in limited quantities and have a few pens from a training session that light up in different colors...very entertaining...
Everywhere I have been employed the last 50 years has had very strict rules about bribes, accepting gifts of almost any value, etc. Never got offered much and never had to worry about the value (of the item or my integrity).
1. to cast (oneself) face down on the ground in humility, submission, or adoration. 2. to lay flat, as on the ground.
yeah, not so much like prostate.
Yeah, used to getting the weiner in the end.
Reminds me of the old recording of two guys taking a leak
and the one says: "why is yours so much louder than mine"
and the other says: "I'm pissing on your briefcase"
As another old mainframe greybeard (starting some 50+ years ago), i offer you several of these.
Somehow that kicked off:
badger, badger, badger
in my head... I'm not quite as sick as what's his name.
Is that why while i was at work i would always get the big ad with the slinky half-dressed babes and wonder what that had to do with IT?
zombies shuffling down the street
OH, you just had to say that....
Party Rock!
Yeah
Wooo!
Let's go!
Party rock is in the house tonight
"A UK ban on all sales of normal road vehicles has previously been announced. It will take effect in 2040"
So normal vehicles will just vanish and you'll get around by ???? Flying?
hopefully they'll get a full one dollar as compensation and then be buried.
