  It has long been the case, that if you confuse a Canadian for an American they are offended, but if you confuse an American for a Canadian they don’t mind.

  Imagine how many hours could have been put to more productive use, if making clothes flat never became a thing.

  For written format that is ideal but when talking about a date, say in two weeks time, saying the year is redundant.

  My dentist: got anything exciting coming up? Me: Going to Bali in a couple of weeks, you? Dentist: no, I’m not going to Bali 😆

  These also have the advantage of being nice and quiet, which if you are going to have it in your house rather than a hot garage or whatever can be nice.
  I bought a NAS, later realised that it supported Plex and Jellyfin but it was often too slow to do the transcoding. I still use it for storage but there were no real upgrade options. It was cheaper to get an old NUC, rather than replace the NAS with a high spec one to be able to run Jellyfin properly.

  Later in the story it mentions registrations. I wonder if they just registered a heap of them shortly after the government said they were likely going to pause the rebates but before they did. I wonder if all that is now effectively stock they can sell but with the rebate?
  Should be investigated either way.

  Good to see it as a chart but that is different to the results it returns

  Consequently, Americans generate the majority of English-language Internet content.

  False. Yes, it is larger than any other individual English speaking group but accounts for less than a fifth of the total English speakers.

  I wouldn’t have guessed Nigeria is the third largest English speaking group.
