    I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is “a Lego”; in Europe, that’s typically not the way the word is used.

    I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I’d misread your comment, and I don’t want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you’ve said…

    How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?








  • I’m not in love with Teams but I’m sometimes surprised how much hate it attracts. I’ve never used a video conference tool I’ve thought was great. Teams is definitely bloated and each new version seems to improve one issue and introduce another, but the UI is generally fairly intuitive and the calls are typically high quality.

    The worst I’ve used by far was Google Meet; used it a few times for one client and the video and audio quality was atrocious.



  • The pun works verbally if a werewolf (literally “man-wolf”) is understood to be a hybrid of man and wolf during the full moon. Instead of changing form into a werewolf, he’s changed form into a warehouse.

    Written down, if he turned into a half-man, half-house he’d be a werehouse, and if he turned into a half-man, half-warehouse he’d be a werewarehouse.








  • So by “no” you mean “yes”?

    …a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. […] if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices.
