@sabbatical Working along with this quietly in the background is like what working as a scribe in a medeival monastary must have been like.

Or maybe not because everyone would have been pray-chanting together.

I never really realised how crazy rabies is.

@ambihelical Aha yes, but still an odd choice… but now I wonder how the ancestor got the name

Which of these non-paid non-"proper" ways to watch a mainstream Hollywood film do you consider morally/ethically wrong?

Kadoka, South Dakota is the most remote place in the continental United States. Why? Well, it's a 6.5 hour drive to the nearest Costco.

One day, the costs associated with media, which really are costs of the physical delivery, and not the media itself, will be remembered as a minute blip in the history of mankind.

@Zonz it varies! But for an example that regularly happens…

Coworker A sends me a one-sentence message in the work chat about a typo on the website while I’m doing non-focused tasks. I’ll probably drop what I’m doing and fix it.

Coworker B, whom I like equally as much as A, emails me a three-sentence email about a typo, with the story of how they found it. I’ll look at the email and file it in the “do later” pile.
