Everyone knows what the MKV format is. It's something they use every day. No need to offer an explanation of what MKV offers compared to other formats. It's as clear as granite.

Let the kids die. That'll teach 'em a lesson.

Why are they building a sea wall? What makes them think climate change is real?

If it's not real, as the governor keeps saying, then no sea wall is needed. If climate change is real, then everyone should get one.

You can't have it both ways. Unless you're being deliberately racist.

IBM was ecstatic to provide Germany with tabulating machines. Doesn't seem to have affected them. Same with this.

The episode you are looking for is called A Taste of Armageddon.

Based on Google's last quarterly numbers, that fine is equal to about three days worth of revenue.

Google had $96.43 billion in revenue last quarter. Divide by 3 gets you $32.143 billion each month. Divide by 30 gets you $1.0714 billion each day. Times 3 comes out $3.2142 billion.

It can't even be called a fine.

Funny, I don't eat at fast food any more, nor buy bags of chips to eat every week, or subsist on gallons of soda. And yet, I'm barely heavier than I was in high school (which was practically rail thin) and sit on my ass all day in the office.

It's almost as if what you just said isn't true.

The brokerage chief said private companies and government must make investing easier from an early age.

How much easier can it be? You're 18, you sign up on the brokerage web site of your choice, provide some information, and off you go.

Or, your parents create a custodial account in your name, they do the trading based on what you say, then when you're 18 it's all yours.

This isn't rocket surgery.

He loves the poorly educated.

This is from the ESPN site itself. Not sure how much more legitimate you can get when they're the ones broadcasting the game.

Try watching one of the free college football games on ESPN. Trying to figure out which scripts need to run to view the broadcast is a cluster fuck.

Even if you think you have it figured out you may get some bogus message about the cert not being valid.

As I said, these are for the free games, the ones being broadcast on ABC (ESPN and ABC are owned by the same company) so you don't need to sign up for anything. I can only image how difficult it is for the ones you have to have an account to view.

This is the 21st century. There should be no reason someone can't click on a video and have it play without needing to enable 20+ scripts and 30+ css/xml sheets.

Try explaining the rules of English spelling or grammar to someone. It requires many special cases, exceptions, and exceptions to the exceptions.

You mean ear and bear aren't pronounced the same? Where does tear fit into the picture? Can we try food, book, and good?

In 2023 Texas Republicans removed the mandate that companies must provide breaks for workers in high heat situations.

I believe a few other red states did the same thing, or were at least considering it. After all, when they're sitting in their a/c offices, what do they care about the guy working on the roof in 105 F temperatures?

Contrary to what people think or believe, yes it is. This is not to say there isn't waste. Find me a large organization which doesn't have waste. But what this shows, and what many people who worked on this have said, is the federal government is efficient despite its size. The reason there is so little waste is because of all the cross-checks and safety measures built in to prevent waste in the first place.

It's why there are auditor generals (well, there were until his orange highness got rid of them) to make sure things are being done the way they should and prevent waste from happening.

Speaking of that other failure, It's been reported the total verifiable savings was approximately $1.4 billion. No, that is not missing any numbers.

For comparison, the F-35 program has an annual budget of $12 billion. That means, 11.7% of the annual F-35 program was saved as a one-time reduction in overall contract expenditures.

Fascinating.
