i fear that many businesses, particularly the larger, better paying ones, will realize they can operate on a leaner staff and simply not hire as rapidly when things roll back.

This new format of not scrolling but instead clicking next is stupid.  I click next but then still have to scroll to see two paragraphs.  What’s wrong with scroll format??

what about 8x8 or Jitsi (which is now owned by 8x8)? Very easy to start, not many functions but ‘just works’.

We have waaaay too many dumb motherfuckers who watch waaaay too much American TV.

It gets better... Just found out that many of these N95 masks and hospital gowns produced in the US are made from a specific type of wood pulp called K10S. It’s produced primarily at one plant in Canada from Western Red Cedar (so you aren’t going to be making it in Jersey)

Well, that too. Action movies were the dominant paradigm of the ‘90s, so that was what the movies were trying to imitate, though they didn’t have the resources to pull that off. 

In conversation with Games Radar, Simon Pegg revealed he’s skeptical a fourth Star Trek film set in the Kelvin timeline will ever see the light of day.

The Alabama of Canada

Lol, the fuck?

Your kid hears far worse at school.

The problem with the Tim Hortons Beyond Meat Burgers wasn’t that they weren’t real meat, it was that a coffee shop (that is admittedly much more than a coffee shop for us Canadians) was making a burger. It was... not great. The most basic, uninteresting burger imaginable, with no sense of how a burger should be…

Splurge on a good camera and lenses. Your pets deserve the best pictures.

The “somehow” is that the manufacturing cost of an iPhone is approximately a third of its retail price.

Bill’s increasingly desperate attempts to quit the advertising industry continued to make him ever more successful in it.

Yup. Warmer atmosphere = more extreme and less-predictable weather.

It’s not a big deal in the sense of climate change or war, but there’s a difference between a fan-made supercut born of passion and a supercut that uses the shows references to push a new streaming service while taking away the bite that the references may have had. It’s certainly not the end of the world, but it’s no…

I would have been fine with no one even noticing that the TOS and TNG Klingons looked different.

Correct. In a world where the standard rule is “every empty seat is a free for all after takeoff” there will be melee near first class as people try to nab the empty seats, especially on long-haul flights, resulting in fights and inevitable delays/diversions (beacuse you know we can’t have nice things).

For a country that professes support for individual choices.. it seems the US is very adept at narrowing those choices to “acceptable” ones (as dictated by others) and lambasting all others.

I feel like this movie is a great litmus test for whether or not someone likes fun things.
