Don’t go to Times Square for NYE. Not once for the experience. Zero times because you read about just how bad of a decision that is. 0.

I don’t know, I tried it and it commented its code. Who does that?

I have multiple folders of the form “desktop crap MM-DD-YY”

It will always be this to me:

And will never not make me smile.

The microphone placement is a little wonky as it is on the left side to the screen (why?).

That’s why my friends have been telling me to throw away my new phone because they can’t hear me‽ I’ve been essentially muting myself with my stupid thumb covering that stupid hole? Thank you so much; I was going to put the sim back in my previous phone.

I find np a worse message when taken literally. If I even have to write an email, it’s at least a little problem. yw allows for a problem you solved for somebody without suggesting that it doesn’t come at the expense of other priorities. Both will be interpreted the same way by almost everyone, of course.

You’re welcome to ask things like that of me. This is within the realm of stuff I will gladly do for you.

It seems like a company that would require employee-purchased headsets would already require employee-purchased laptops. Do you know of any? Honest question; I don’t, but my bubble is pretty small.

I think that while the threat is real, the threat being a major motivator for upper management is largely illusory. It’s absolutely there, but it’s not making them do stuff they’re not already keen on doing. Nobody weasels their way up the ladder to do non-profit-maximizing things, occasionally getting reprimanded for not maximizing profit and always one stray “the old phone’s fine” tweet away from getting canned. They’re willing and enthusiastic profit-maximizers.

Does the keyboard work while detached? When I travel, I like to plug the laptop into the TV and control it from across the room with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It would be nice not to have to pack a separate keyboard.

There were basically 3 channels for a while – ABC, NBC, CBS. But yeah, their brand has really diminished.
