But now you can't finish those reports because you have to pick up the kid and traffic is hell these days.

If they wanted more background noise during the calls with other teams they could've just asked: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/openOfficeNoiseGenerator.php

Like if you're writing an essay on paper. You have your desk covered with a reference book or two, your draft version, working version, assignment, additional clarifications and notes, ... It would be such a hassle to put it all in one neat stack and search for whatever you need every time.

So programmers like to have the programming manual, design, notes, remarks from the customer, ... spread out over the screen(s) instead of switching back and forth every time.

"No, I can't drive and read the map at the same time. You have to read the map, unless you drive and I navigate. No? Thought so."

Every trip.

In Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson) it makes fun of this, with the company complaining that paper money is clogging the toilets as people use this because it's a lot cheaper than toilet paper because of extreme inflation.

I don't recall what movie, but it did really bad at the box office and of course they blamed piracy. Until somebody got a hold of the statistics and showed it was one of the least pirated movie releases ever.

It's actually curdled milk. It uses an enzyme extracted from the stomach of a calf or a modern replacement.

There is an inverse relation between the wage a job pays and the contribution to society that the job makes, with a few exceptions like doctors. The highest paying jobs are very often parasites on society. This seems to originate from the Calvinist work ethic where meaningful work is its own reward.

Yeah, they're just sad it didn't work as expected and it makes them look bad.

And in a few years they'll headline "Lazy students refuse to study medicine, hospitals closing due to doctor shortage!"

Then they'll tell you how the rich go to the EU for treatment and blame it all in Brussels

They did. That sub had several previous trips to test and with other passengers before they took the rich people. However because of the composite hull, you had a buildup of damage internally and it only collapsed on the rich guy run. And they buildup of damage was exactly what experts warned about.

Sounds like a good time to cancel a subscription and finish the ol' Steam library

There are Rules for Rulers. In the background there are always nobels, clergy, bankers, businessmen, military and the common folk each with their own demands and reasons to pressure or remove the ruler of their demands are not met.

There are a enough examples of leaders trying to change too much and being assassinated. Although these days that's more killed in the media.

Yes, it seems to be about as controversial als pineapple on pizza.

Except when it's an all-you-can-eat buffet where you don't eat the crust so there is more room for the rest.

Yes. He had the Mierdas touch.

"Yes, but history..." they will say.

And in history China used to be the opium export market of the Brits so by historic rules it has to be that again. I guess they'll say "but that's different".

"You want me to wear a flashlight to bed? Huh, this looks like those lights on your truck. And why is your phone making that engine noise? Is that SOOT in the humidifier?!"
