I feel like English is more of a patois/pidgin than people think. Just the impact of the Normans, French/Gauls, Celtics and then latterly cultural impact of the French/Germans, Indians, Jews greatly shaped our language in the middle ages, which has kind of settled into a language slurry in the last 600 years.

I do the “Secure Ian Knot” (loop, second loop, cross them over, right goes towards you, through the hole away from you, left goes away from you, back through the hole towards you - pull)

Super easy to learn, and never looked back.

I am now discovering through these replies that seems to be the case. Maybe it’s a regional thing? im in SE USA

oh interesting - I’ve worked at 4 companies in 10 years, they all called it that.

sfdc (Salesforce dot com) is one of the biggest CRMs in the world and pretty much runs every sales department out there, adp (automatic data processing) is one of the biggest payroll systems in the world.

it’s highly likely you’ve interacted with either or both but maybe in a white-labelled way (e.g. all of Carmax’s computer systems run entirely off Salesforce)

well not in modern parlance but yeah I’m aware it’s an olde timey word

SFDC, IBM, ADP, KKR MYOB are all similarly unpronouncable as singular words.

it has been used as a slur for disabled people.

most people are getting by on free tier or ~USD$20/MONTH

as many comments have said - this is probably a loss leader that won’t survive IPO.

personally I think that’s low unless some kind of system is developed to make compute and storage cheaper. $30 / month is consumer level pricing, and more expensive than some streaming platforms and gyms but I was wondering about enterprise level- Salesforce, AWS, Intuit level pricing

oh boy there was one recently where they didn’t even get to the guy in the first episode.

I read a short story once that there’s only one person constantly reincarnated simultaneously, and everyone you (I) meet is actually me (you) and only realizes it after death before being born into the next person’s body,

the drive time was to illustrate scale.

While it doesn’t matter how big a whale is vs a microbe, you can’t put a whale under a normal microscope, thus the distinction is relevant.

doubt. he wasn’t happy when he did live.

there are comments in the link that seem to address this

that is fair. I drink barley fruit juice, otherwise known as scotch.

My brother took intro to counselling, diagnosed himself as suffering with Special Boy disease, everyone else in the family with Evil Syndrome and went off the deep end into a full public mental breakdown, from which our relationship has never recovered.

which is also not good for you, just to be clear.

one of my new years rezzies was to eat more fruit and it’s been actually really enjoyable. Fresh mango, pineapple, cherries, grapes…
