Rule of Acquisition #17: A contract is a contract is a contract… but only between Ferengi.

The answer is: they do not give a shit.

They do not care about the US as a country.

They do not care about the Americans as a people.

They do not care about the economy.

They do not care about anything apart from their own personal interest. Lining their own pockets is all they care about. If someone helps them do that, they are friends with them. If they don’t, they do not matter.

Congratulations, you now officially live in a cleptocracy where they shake you down, take all of your money and give it to the guys who already have billions. All the taxes they claim to save by obliterating social security, affordable care etc? They are not going back to you, they will stuff them in Musk’s pockets through bullshit contracts and other schemes.

And at the same time, they are critically crippling the IRS to make sure the billionairs no longer even have to pretend to pay taxes.

When he’s done, that bill will be as worthless as he is.

A true revolution: now featuring AI generated Wilhelm screams!

I’d have to say Invader Zim.

Sounds like the really unpleasant sibling of the tampon.

Should add “BSC, SSC”.

As in bronze swimming certificate, silver swimming certificate.

It’s okay, it’s only pretend money.

porn is like 30 mins+ with multiple positions switch

…aaaaand copious amounts of viagra, and picturing Margaret Thatcher in the nude the entire time? Probably.

If you want to try something exotic, you might look into Cà phê den. It’s Vietnamese coffee. It’s a slow-drip coffee prepared using a special metal filter that sits on top of a drinking glass during preparation. The traditional mix is 50% arabica, 50% robusta, and the beans are slow-roasted for a long time. It has a chocolaty taste and is usually made very strong. Some call it Vietnamese espresso, although that is obviously a misnomer as there is no pressure involved at all.

Variations include sweet ones made with condensed milk (and ice cubes!), others like their ca phe prepared with fresh eggs. I have not tried the latter, but the first is quite refreshing on a hot summer day.

What about the “Lady Death” a.k.a. the “Russian Bitch from Hell”?

She was initially assigned to digging trenches and communication routes, armed with a single RGD-33 grenade due to weapons shortages. In the second half of July 1941, a comrade was severely injured by shrapnel and handed her his Mosin–Nagant model 1891 bolt-action rifle. On 8 August 1941 Lyudmila experienced her debut as a wartime sniper when she killed two Nazi officers in Biliaivka at a distance of 400 metres.

When the Nazis and their Romanian allies overran Odessa on 15 October 1941, her unit was withdrawn by sea to Sevastopol, on the Crimean Peninsula, to fight in the siege of Sevastopol. There, she trained other snipers, who were credited with killing over 100 Axis soldiers during the battle. In May 1942, newly promoted Lieutenant Pavlichenko was cited by the Southern Army Council for killing 257 Axis soldiers. The number of soldiers Pavlichenko is credited with killing during World War II was 309, including 36 Axis snipers.

In June 1942, Pavlichenko was hit in the face with shrapnel from a mortar shell. When she was injured, the Soviet High Command ordered for her to be evacuated from Sevastopol via submarine.

She spent around a month in the hospital. Once she had recovered from her injuries, instead of being sent back to the front, she became a propagandist for the Red Army, where she was nicknamed “Lady Death.” (The Germans called her “the Russian bitch from hell.”) She also trained snipers for combat duty until the end of the war in 1945.

Exactly on point, because there’s always people early or late. This way I neither have to start it nor be embarresed to be the last.

Also:

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to

Just remember that Rule of Acquisition #48 always applies when dealing with HR:

The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife!

Not a problem if you eat them with pesto.

And I can never cook them right! For some reason, even if I cook them for twice as long as the package instructions say, they’re still tough and gluey!?!

yq is crazy cool for converting between different text-based data formats such as yaml, json, xml, csv and others, and it has a super nice pretty-printing function as well. I use it all the time!

Just be aware that your distroy might come with a yq variant too, but possibly one that isn’t as powerful as the one I linked. I know this to be true at least for Ubuntu.

Dunno, where I live, it’s used a lot. Of course there are a lot of other words, and I cannot say if “Möpse” is the most commonly used term, but it is at the very least in the top five I’d say.
