I’m surprised that the novelty of video hasn’t worn off for most companies/individuals.  For the type of work that I do, it adds absolutely nothing of value to see my coworkers picking their noses during a meeting -- I suspect many other office workers are in a similar situation.  An audioconference with screensharing…

The Royal Mail one looks like it’s the London double-decker bus’ little brother!

The seats look grody, but the pupper is cute.

The late, great George Carlin used to say that people add extra words when they want to sound more important. I suspect that he would agree that the phrase “works as it should” contains 4x as many words as is necessary. If something truly works, then just say that.

...accusing them of trying to take over the company by purchasing the chain’s loans on the secondary market, then threatening to drive the company into bankruptcy.

Not directly related, but why do so many child actors go by three names?

Take it one step further: build up glass side panels and the US Postal Service can become the US Pope-stal Service.

Homeless.

Not anymore, there isn’t.  That’s how bad the fight was.

Maybe a long drive, but he’ll fetch it.

My pre-Covid commute (and likely post-vaccination commute when we make it back to the office) is about 25 miles round trip, so even the worst EVs of 10 years ago could meet 90% of my needs. But I am one man, and I don’t want to own more than one car at a time, so I need a car that meets 100% of my needs.

These are rad. The homeowners really went all out.

Does this mean that they’re getting rid of those weird oblong chicken sandwiches they serve? Or have they already gotten rid of those (I’ll admit that it’s been a long time since I’ve had an audience with The King.)?
