No it's not "whoosh", that implies you told a joke which I missed the punch line of.

Whoosh means it went over your head. And it still continues to elude your understanding apparently.

. You fundamentally not understanding what hyperbole is has its own humerus merits for sure, but for a whoosh you need to be in on the joke, not part of it.

What something being COMPLETELY UNTRUE that it no longer qualifies as hyperbole do you not understand?

Plus you also don't personally own the definition of "hellscape" which, since hell doesn't exist and no one knows what it looks like anyway is pretty much by definition a term of hyperbole.

WHEN THE FUCK DID I SAY THAT I DID, PUPPY MURDERER? Now you're LYING as I NEVER said that I owned anything. He's never worked in a hellscape. But you will excuse anything he said, won't you?

I would suspect a major part of security is through obscurity as few people know how Voyager is controlled. The second part is the large array of radio antenna to receive messages and a powerful transmitter to send messages. The last part of security is the impact. What benefit does a malicious party get from hacking Voyager. They control a telescope that is not really reporting on much these days.

You seem confused about the difference between hyperbole and simply making shit up.

Again, WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH. He made shit up as I seriously doubt he has worked in a hellscape as a basis of comparison. I doubt he's worked at Google or Microsoft either. What he describes is what happens at MOST companies. The difference is I acknowledge everything I said was made up while you excuse his dishonesty as "hyperbole", Puppy murderer.

If you conflate hyperbole with dishonesty, then you are so far out of bound of anything approaching normal English that it would be impossible ot have an actual discussion with you.

And you do not seem to understand when hyperbole is so extreme that it is dishonesty, dog kicker. Also I saw that you didn’t say bless you when a child sneezed. You must also be a child murderer with your displays of cruelty.

Cast in point: I pointed out hyperbole and you accused me of lying.

Woosh. It seems you don’t understand the point, child murderer. After all, anything I say is covered by hyperbole, according to you, dog kicker.

People who don't understand hyperbole should be strung up in the town square, publicly eviscerated, and garlands hung of their entrails.

I prefer honesty when discussing things. Apparently you do not.

They're saying it's a shitty company, OK? Are they not allowed to say that because Thames Water is LITERALLY a shitty company? And only companies spewing actual non metaphorical shit can be shitty?

Then SAY it is a shitty company. I don't have issues with saying Google and Microsoft are terrible companies.

Also taking on some equivalent of "staving children in North Korea have it worse" is just lame. We all know that. No one's saying that google is equivalent to slave labour or some shit.

So being precise in my words offends you then. Hellscape has a meaning. Working in an office is not that meaning.

Wondering if you inveterately work from home because you appear to have forgotten how normal conversation works.

I am wondering why you would assume something about someone you know nothing about. By your logic, I must assume you kick dogs for fun based on your response. #whataboutism

As of the 2020s, modern Google has become the hellscape you'd expect from old-school Microsoft, and long-term, it will lead to their undoing.

I have a problem with your use of the word "hellscape". What you describe is most companies these days. Working in a mine as slave labor might be a hellscape. Working in an office where employees should not stage a political protest is not a hellscape.

First of all, it is not just Microsoft saying not to use iPerf3. The developers of iPerf3 says it is not fully supported on Windows. They recommend using the previous version iPerf2. Second, both companies "recommend" that you do not use it as it is unsupported. You might get it to work but the results might be suspect. Neither company is stopping you from using it.

You're not in the slightest interested in the data, or the conditions in the UK.

You have yet to present ANY data except anecdotal evidence. I repeat: you have presented ZERO evidence and when reminded about that, you got upset.

I'm done with you.

So you will never admit you have zero evidence. That seems indicative of a denier.

At my former company someone emailed HR posing as the CEO. They wanted a copy of every employee's W-2 in PDF form emailed to them by the end of the day. Thankfully HR had many, many questions and called the CEO directly. The first question is why does the CEO need W-2s instead of asking an assistant for whatever information he needed directly (like salary information, etc). Also why does the CEO want thousands of PDFs emailed to an outside inbox, etc.

And what does your link prove? Someone attempting to sell a Taylor Swift vinyl record for $3000. And? Your link also shows the low of $30, median of $264, and high of $2600. There is no other detail like the $2600 record might have been for an autographed copy. By the way, the same website shows an Eminem CD from 1997 for $5500. By your logic, Eminem fans are crazier.

Air conditioning? In UK? Really? You must be in the US.

1) Record heatwaves in the last several years in UK (and Europe) have increased the need for AC. There this thing called climate change that people wish to ignore. 2) You are aware the while most homes in the UK do not have AC, some do. Businesses also have AC.

You seem do not seem to acknowledge your small sample size does not lead to your conlcusion.
