The way I understood it, it's two million lines and nowhere near finished.

Anyway, satire.

There sure is, but mostly it manifests itself differently than in the US.

My previous employer was acquired and the new owner required jumping through these kinds of hoops to use company email or Teams on our phones.

As an end result, everybody stopped using those on their phones. Once the laptop lid was shut, work wouldn't be bothering you until you open it the next day. Sometimes stupid things can lead to good outcomes.

I just checked the site, it says the subscription includes a new detection module every three years. So at least some new gear is included.

Subscription for a product like this definitely feel very shady. But at least you can just straight up buy it. They say the subscription is intended for people who can't afford the full price out of pocket.

The type of snow also plays into how easy or difficult it is to drive in. The snow in the pic looks like a tricky sort to me.

But I'd still expect a car with enough clearance and AWD to manage it.

This takes me back to the era when every other online store was selling DVD-gramophones.

I debated whether I should say NA or American, but I figured I don't know what Canadians use, so there we go. Anyway, nice to see that debate is still alive and healthy. I gave up on it ~20 or so years ago. Writing unitedstatesman was exhausting after a while :)

Not a native English speaker, but my hunch is, soccer will almost certainly be understood. Also it will identify you as American.

He super liked her, I could easily imagine her reaction was to roll her eyes and swipe right to see what funny business this student has come up with.

I have no idea if they still do it, but a decade or so ago it was all over the internet that a Brazilian fast food company had started using edible wrappers and made a marketing stunt out of it. The chain was apparently "Bob's".

Not really relevant, but where do we draw the line of first time he threatened nukes? As a Finn, feels like Russia has been making threats about their nukes almost monthly for the last thirty years.

Heard about this on the radio today morning. Apparently his son said he's happy he'll never see the outside of a jail cell again. It wasn't a direct quote though, the radio host may have tweaked the message a bit.

Critical mass. When it has been the default way to message anyone and everyone for over a decade, it's pretty difficult to start converting everyone and their literal grandmother to start adopting something else. I understand it doesn't enjoy quite the same status in the US though.

That's the one.

You're reading it a bit more literally than it was intended. "Flying sardine can to the Canaries" being the gist I was going for.

I was on it just this Tuesday..

Culture plays into it too. For example here in Finland, school grades are from 4 (failed) to 10, and that ends up skewing how you see any scale from 1 to 10.

As a bit of trivia, originally there were grades lower than 4, but at some point it was decided it wasn't necessary to determine just how badly you failed. Knowing that you did should be enough. So all the failing grades were bundled up into one, which ended up being the previously highest failing grade.

Yet somehow it still resulted in W Germany.

It's quite disingenuous to compare the worst atrocities committed by individuals, which were then tried and sentenced, to Russia's standard operation procedure and doctrine.

And some say there were two WWs on their account
