Damn right! It's somebody else's greed! Totally different.

Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!

What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!

Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!

Trust me, I'm in control!

Wala

"Wala?" Voilà perhaps?

At my school there was an office phone outside the office that anyone could use. No need to staff it.

Yup, I'm one of about 6 people who work in my office that used to have around 100 in 2020. They all still work here, just from home. Great for me, especially with the reduced headcount. But many of my coworkers also like WFH, and I'd be first in line to threaten to leave if there was a return to office mandate.

Not without a bunch of lawyers winning.

Fax, like POTS has a legitimate purpose. It's a lot easier to intercept and/or edit an email in transit than a fax.

Thanks for not just assuming I keep my house below freezing!

Where'd my kid get a Guy Fawkes mask?

Seriously, though, who cranks the thermostat to 30 and walks out the door?

I wonder if there's a warning for that in Clang or GCC. That seems like something I'd want, but also want it to be 100% opt-in. Not even enabled with -Wall or -Wextra.

Brussels sprouts look and taste like little green brains. I have no idea what brain actually tastes like, but I imagine it's brussels sprouts.

Good thing bakeries sell cake too.
