I mean the other names make sense with additional context
Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)
And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking
edit as I had to look this one up: “Booby” is an ellision of “Bobo” - as in “No seas tan bobo” (Spanish) - meaning “silly, naive, dumb…” as they tend to be quite tame birds
From writing a single song that 90% of people love and then immediately retiring

What’s the difference between emocore, metal core, hard-core , speedcore and death jazz?
People like to pick their own labels.
We did a year of unlimited time off. I took 2x1-week and 1x2 week and a few days here and there.
At the end of the year they announced no time off except Christmas and Thanksgiving days during Nov thru Jan and you can’t take more than a week off at the time.
They couple this with a company wide raise but if they don’t change the policy after the moratorium ends in January I think I’d rather earn less and have more time off.
Having lived and worked in both the UK and US, yes I pay roughly 4% less “tax” in the US.
but, as I didn’t have to pay for Healthcare, and my student loans payments were a percentage of my earnings — vs the amount I’ve had to pay for Healthcare, copay, scripts, etc here. If we actually compare like for like and assume that Healthcare payments are only not called a tax out of a semantic convention for political reasons despite being practically a tax by nearly any definition - I’ve pay way more in “”““tax””“” in the US.
Assuming the average person earns roughly $65k, would you pay an extra $200 for 100% fully covered, fully comprehensive, $0 co-pay, you walk in (to your nearest hospital, no need to check if they’re in network) get an x-ray, a blood test, your appendix removed, stay over night, go back the next day for kidney dialysis or chemotherapy and pay nothing more than that monthly extra $200/rate in perpetuity? Especially as the average cost is $456 (+ co pay) for Healthcare and that usually isn’t a “good” let alone the “best” package.
SFDC itself is written in Java but uses Javascript-esque APEX for whitelabel development?
fun fact: you can drink spicy water (seltzer). And it counts
6! hours? An entire month?
I imagine everyone in the space except elon is thinking about the positive benefits and Elon is thinking about a giant spinning dollar sign while Baby Elephant Walk plays on repeat.
My advice is to watch it up until they conclude the Ouroborous / OurRobOrRoss thing, and consider that the end (S7E3 I think).
I was looking for this. every single time I type something on my phone I wish I had a blackberry still
I used a site that let’s you follow the same accounts on Masto as you did on Twitter.
if it’s baked into the browser - then that’s all sites
pretty funny though that maybe all those people in the 80s / early 90s were right - the internet is just a passing fad, but only because they ruined it with ads.
well my hope is it pushes investment back.into leisure and third space usage, to encourage people back into cities for fun reasons rather than just to operate a keyboard which I can do from anywhere
source? even before WFH, even before the internet it’s just common sense that if I need something from the Phillippines office or the London office or the California office while I’m in New York it’s much more efficient to call them than it is for me to get on a plane and go there.
Ah Cunningham’s law. I’ll take my L.
literally the origin of the term - that bugs (literally) used to get into computers and mess them up
I have this card.
I’m an immigrant to the US by way of marriage. When I moved here we opened an account at chase where my now wife banks - a joint for us both and one for me.
When faced with having three near identical blue cards I asked if there was any option other than blue
Imagine my face when I heard possibly the most American phrase I’ve ever heard: “You can have the brand colors, or Disney”
