Here's a link to the actual video since I didn't see it in the article or here in the comments.

Sounds like he's saying the January 6th insurrectionists were the good guys.
Stock prices going up when announcing lay-offs has always baffled me. From a pure executive mathematics perspective: profit = revenue - expenses. Employees are expenses, therefore reducing expenses equals more profit.
But from a real-world perspective, employees are the knowledge and effort keeping your company alive. You don't have revenue without employees. So cutting employees is dismantling your business and ruining your ability to function long-term.
I guess that's why CEOs make the big bucks and I don't. They're able to focus on what's happening this quarter, where lowly little ol' me can only think about the big picture.
I don't know if phones are listening with an open mic, but I have no doubt they're doing things like scraping text messages. I sent my wife a text saying "I need new dress shoes for work" then went to Amazon and the front page was filled with men's dress shoes. And yes, I confirmed she hadn't searched for them first.
Maybe he meant "around"?
That's my back up plan after Top 12 hours on Everything gets stale.
For the Explain XKCD article:
The typical Ferris wheel has a diameter of about 200 feet and usually takes around 10 minutes per full rotation. The apparent ratio between the connected wheels in the comic is approximately 12.5:1, meaning the motion is significantly sped up as it’s transferred. The second Ferris wheel, driven by the first, could spin at around 1.3 rpm, with passengers moving at 9 mph (14 km/h), which is faster than usual but not inherently dangerous. However, when this motion is further transferred to the third Ferris wheel, it could spin at 16 rpm, with passengers traveling at over 110 mph (180 km/h), subjecting them to 8 Gs of force—conditions that would be hazardous.
If you can drown in as little as an inch of water, surely you can choke on a mushroom.
Nice! Hope you enjoy it.
That's always been a hilarious part of French culture to me. Many of their cafes and sandwich shops are closed for lunch so their employees can go home to eat.
