I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but there is a similar tool under 'viva insights' in teams

As if the various bits of fraud over the years wasn't enough of a reason to avoid it like the plague

It's fun but I wouldn't want to denigrate Dickens by saying he got poverty wrong to make a political point.

I think they're actually making the opposite claim- American wages are just that fucked, rather than Dickens being wrong

If you don't mind sailing the high seas, Windows LTSC is about as debloated as Windows gets. LTSC is an official windows version but isn't available for retail purchase, as it's intended for iot and embedded systems.

Is that Plato's Cave? I'm not super familiar with it. Animal Farm was just the first allegory to pop in my head.

Oh my gosh, can't believe I did that. Fortunately they are a type of analogy, so I'm not just totally spreading misinformation.

An analogy is an explicit comparison between two concepts. Analogies are often signalled by words such as 'like' or 'as'. (Edit: As someone pointed out, similes use these words. Not all analogies do. I wasn't completely paying attention when I wrote this, sorry!)

In contrast, allegories are stories that implicitly draw a connection between two concepts. A good example of this might be George Orwell's Animal Farm. On it's face, it is a story about animals revolting against their owner and creating their own system of governance. While it generally follows the story of the Russian revolution, Orwell never directly states this. Instead, it is up to the reader to figure that out.

They mean diagonal cutters or flush cutters. Dyke is an unfortunate shortening of diagonal here, there is no actual relationship to the slur afaik.

On a whim, I did an internship at an architecture firm doing low voltage and media design while finishing my theatre degree. It opened my eyes to the possibility of working outside the entertainment industry. I ended up going back to school for a mechanical engineering degree and now I'm just over a year into my role at an industrial components company. I'd say it worked out pretty well!
