3.316275 × 105735 is probably too many employees.
For context, here's that number written out fully.

You sound like a hoot, what a great resignation!
An extremely subjective and esoteric set of criteria. Sometimes it’s because the representation of Jesus is hot, sometimes the crucifix is rather ornate, sometimes it’s just different from what I’ve seen before.
I ended up with three crucifixes by various happenstance, and then I kinda just started buying cool ones whenever I’d see any in thrift stores.
Seriously, our flag is like the best thing Canada has going for it.
Although as much as I loathe little corner Union Jacks on flags, I have to admit I’d probably get a kick from the reaction of the entire province of Québec if it were to happen.
It’s apparently attested since at least the 2nd century BCE; Roman playwright Plautus is usually credited with coining the term.
Hey, just because I’m a degenerate doesn’t mean I don’t care about maintaining healthy relationships with my friends!
Whenever I drive (which is rare) and I go through an intersection on a yellow light, I punch the ceiling of the car. I’ll even punch the air above my head if I run a yellow on my bicycle.
Someone told me back in high school that it’s bad luck not to do so, and for some reason it stuck with me.
Pretty sure that’s heronsy.
50·5 months agoI honestly feel that’s less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.
5·5 months agoApparently, buck used to be a slur in the US for a black or Native American man.
A suggested etymology for buck naked is that it refers to the the nude state of black men when they were sold at slave auctions. AFAIK it’s not attested anywhere, just a hypothesis.
4·5 months agoFluent Reader was my stopping point when looking for a good desktop RSS reader. I’d rather a non-Electron-based app, but hey,
non-programmersbeggars can’t be choosers.
Both butt-naked and buck naked are used.
Comparing them with Google Ngram does show that buck naked predates and is slightly more frequently used than butt-naked, but I’d say butt-naked has been widely accepted into the lexicon. Bonus, it doesn’t have (possibly) racist origins like buck naked has.
Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).
Peanut Butter Sunday and FUUDGE are two French Canadian bands worth checking out!
123·5 months agounbiased source of news
I honestly don’t think this is possible.
Who’s deciding what counts as “biased” or “unbiased”, and how do we ensure there’s no corruption there?
How do we determine “the truth” about controversial subjects when general opinion is split?
Even if you did determine a magical method to broadcast exclusively factual information without any spin; the choice of which information gets broadcast inherently introduces bias. You can’t put literally everything that happened on Earth in a day on the evening news, so you have to choose and prioritize which information to broadcast, introducing the bias.
I’ve always thought a better solution would be having news sources be more explicit about their biases, rather than pretending they don’t have any, but I realize that just introduces more problems without necessarily fixing anything.
IIRC, Spotube streams its music from YouTube.
I’ve found that DNS-level blocklists usually take care of the ads that are added into podcasts on download.
Now if only we could have something akin to Sponsorblock for podcasts.
