Should be “Bee”.

Al-fa

Gulf

Niner

Null

Gotta love the fun pronunciations in the NATO phonetic.

Nine is evil because it’s a valid character. When you are using a phonetic alphabet, you don’t say “N as in Nine”. The whole point is to speed up communication over crappy connections. Adding “as in” afterwards defeats the purpose of having a standard.

As for L, I would go with “Letter”.

Got one behind me. Thank you for your service.

I use the semaphore code to shit-talk my boss to the fellow cubeslaves across the street from me.

My partner has a master’s in a STEM field and has been working full time since they graduated.

After 10+ years of payment on the IDR plan, they owe just slightly more than what they initially took out!

College for the vast majority of people (Millenials at least) was a scam built on lies, exploitative lending, and fear of social stigma. We aren’t just due loan forgiveness, we’re due compensation for long term damages in the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars.

Ridiculous. It doesn’t have a serial number…

A model number on the other hand…

Ah, you’re young enough that language was developed “back in your day.”

I had to shit in my hand and throw it at someone if I wanted to show displasure at someone. Fancy words and carving hadn’t been invented yet. You want to go insult thaag, hope you had plenty of fiber the night before…

I believe the classical interpretation is to nail your 95 complaints to the door with a dagger.

It’s definitely a wrong answer.

Asked my partner to look at this without any knowledge of what it is.

They say it’s a voice box panel for a robot.

Masterfully done.

A pawn also magically disappears in the second image.

Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.

Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.

Props for having the chessboard setup correctly. That is something most movies can’t even manage with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consulting.

Well done. No notes.

If I was carrying and there was an active shooter, I sure as hell would run or hide before fighting.

You don’t know who the active shooter actually is. Maybe the guy you saw with a gun is a plainclothes or off duty cop who is responding to the actual active shooter. Maybe there is more than one shooter, and confronting the one you see makes you a target for the one you don’t. Maybe the cops find you after shooting the active shooter, and assume you are the perpetrator.

For clarification, I don’t carry a gun, I just used myself as an example to simplify the text.

A gun doesn’t stop you from getting shot, it just gives you a chance to shoot back.

Yes, I know you were being sarcastic.

I get the point the comic is trying to make, but saying that more guns means more people die from guns isn’t really a “gotcha”… In places with fewer guns, fewer people are using guns to do their murderings.

I’d be more interested in a graph that shows total murders per capita compared to gun ownership per capita.

Before I get dog-piled, I’d like to add that I know that there are too many guns in the US, and the process to buy a firearm is surprisingly lax. I do think there is a relationship between gun ownership and the murder rates, and the fact that most school shootings don’t even make the news anymore (and if they do, it’s for less than a day) indicates that the frogs have been completely boiled at this point.

Long story short, logistics benefits from scale. The cost to ship a pallet of poptarts to a store is roughly the same as shipping half a pallet. Smaller stores can’t really undercut larger corporations because they don’t have the scale.

Also when your mom and pop store doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they go under. When a Walmart doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they stay open because they have those loses spread across hundreds of other Walmarts.

More realistic option is 15 other Logitech wireless device receivers, and you don’t know which one goes to your current mouse and keyboard, so you just leave them all plugged in.

At least, that is my experience working in IT. Personal record was 6.
