“a member of the parrotfish genus Scarus”

Most apt name ever, they always look so afraid.

Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.

Yep. This is how it goes downhill.

Some business analyst will make a pretty chart showing a massive revenue increase Vs some minor player attrition caused by the monthly subscription model, and the board will salivate at all those billions they’re gonna get.

Is that revenue necessary? Not at all. But capitalism says you must maximise profits regardless for the sake of it, and without an all powerful overlord to say otherwise, it will be a tragic downfall.

Have you seen the price of gas?

Also, Iran has been striking at neighbouring countries, including UAE and Saudi Arabia, and not limited to the military. US owned, or related, assets are juicy targets.

Logistics in the whole region is a hot mess, and holding 2 racing events with the size and viewership of F1 would not only be impossible to organise, but more importantly, do you really want to host such events in the middle of an active war zone and tempt fate?

Hey Siri, go to sleep.

I’ll take it with pride and with absolutely no guilt since you’re not spending your hard earned money on that particular cesspool.

This is an often overlooked aspect indeed. I’m amazed at how much people underestimate the impact that being dead has on one’s humour.

Delivery becomes impossibly hard. Having a working respiratory system and vocal tract is often expected by the audience, and typical physical humour becomes a stiff challenge.

“Resolving incongruity” is often a key component of humour, but the brain struggles to make sense of something that is out of place when it becomes completely electrically silent.

Gallows humours, hilariously ironic to the living, loses some of its impact when you become the literal subject of the joke.

After dying, our audience is notorious difficult to read, and don’t really offer laughter.

More importantly, humour carries a dopamine reward, which is greatly reduced to zero, which further disencentivizes it.

It’s rather grim, really.

Green dicks with chickenpox.

There’s also smooth ones if you hate the texture that much.

Or for a different, more velvet-y feel, you could go with courgettes?

If this isn’t hitting the spot, there’s always eggplants, and if you’re feeling crazy, there’s a whole universe of pumpkins and squashes for the brave to explore.

The answer is, and always has been, unions and strikes.

Do your part.

Can you ask for the Police chief data?

The land part can be split into one layer where the flora will kill you, and another where the climate will kill you

Thanks for that… 🤢

But whose turn is it?

How steep was that hike, for it to wrekend?

j/k, it’s a very lovely view. I wonder how it looks like in winter, if it gets covered in snow I would love to spend a night in a hot tent…

Smiles minus frowns.

This right here is the ultimate KPI, yet I’ve never seen it in a dashboard or spreadsheet. Woz is a legend…

Nasty fellows. Very crabby, will snap at you for looking at them funny.

Is the book backwards? Why is flipping the page to the left? I’m so confused…

It figured out the issue with my front panel 3.5 audio jack not working when I plugged in headphones in my Mint desktop pc.

AI is decent at combing through all that documentation and forum posts and getting to a sensible approach.

Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.
