Why not both? Seriously. The USA's current leadership cabal certainly appears to be dancing to the tune of several corrupt world leaders. Even when they contradict each other. Trump is threatening to bomb Oman? Trump is talking smack o

Is it the smoking gun? Or is it the twist? Or maybe, even, the trap?

My personal bugbear is its usage of "grain" where normally you'd use "granularity", if at all.

A former coworker was previously employed in high finance in London, his entire job was keeping the rickety lattice of interlinked spreadsheets across the company working and alive. People would type in a number in one spreadsheet, and afte

You Aucklanders are still really hung up on that extra lockdown you got because Delta turned up. As in, the most lethal variant of Covid. But never mind that, it was bad for the local economy, right? You know what's worse? Excessive de

Also dangerous to push one - that's how I had one bounce backwards after a wheel ended up in a hole in the lawn, onto my foot. Turns out, when you get a lawnmower on top of a steel toed boot, you get a _lot_ of sparks.

Not too bad that they launched looking like a phishing scam because they eventually added a link? Shit, the bar is low these days.

I've not lived in Germany but visited routinely for longer periods when working for a company there, and the understanding I derived is that Germans have an expectation that the only things (with some exceptions like airport shops) tha
