I’ve never been able to boil a lobster alive.

Boil it to death, yes, but not boil it (to) alive.

You shall not pass!

There is at least one thing they could do (not saying it would help the workers, but they could do it): Fire any remaining people then take that money and run! /s

Good gravy! I was giving NBC at least a little credit for trying to do mediocre journalism.

I know English is not everyone’s first (or even second) language, but if your job is writing for a living in English at least get some help.

P.S. I only know one language myself and couldn’t read/write/speak/understand any other to save my soul, so I think people that can are really gifted. It’s just that NBC obviously didn’t care about this article in the least.

NBC’s AI can’t write worth a hoot:

Hundreds of works were damaged at the Louvre in Paris when a pipe burst because of flooding, the museum’s deputy general administrator said.

The flooding led to a burst pipe and affected one of the three rooms of the library in the Egyptian antiquities department, he said.

Above are paragraphs 1 and 3 from the referenced article.

A simple but logical reading of both states that “a flood occurred (first), and the flood is what caused the pipe to burst (second)”. Extremely disappointed in this level of journalistic competence.

That’s the only “cooked cabbage” I’ve heard of; can’t say I care for it, but my partner likes it.

All that icky transmission fluid was limiting the performance of the transmission (I’m sure). /s

I’ve never considered cooking coleslaw . . . the things I’ve been missing in my life.

Space Balls

Cooperation is the secret.

If anyone thinks about trying something, setup a private meeting with them.

I’ve heard that quiet publication of the results of that meeting (whatever you choose to make those results) can be a great deterrent to others with similar ideas.

Welcome to the world of now.

I was going to suggest using dynamit. /s

Sounds like a grand old time to me.

As if they need a reason.

If they’re hot, we need mandatory leaks!

A good number of people did until early 2022. It looked a lot better on paper.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.
