This person has never had to file an expense claim for meals that are paid by the employer.

Yes, it’s only a dollar or two. But it’s a dollar or two that my employer has to pay extra.

I once picked up one of those dirt cheap breakfast toasts from burger King. My expense report stated “Worst breakfast ever. Never again.”

I love how features like these are quickly adopted by some dev in some basement, resulting in support built in the OS and automatically supported.

For example, I recently got myself a brand new Lenovo Legion 7, and the intention was always to nuke the windows install and get Linux up and running. I was curious about the hotkey too adjust the fan/cooling schema, as it seemed to rely on some proprietary Lenovo windows program.

For those who didn’t know: This is Robert Plant, the vocalist of Led Zeppelin. A dove spontaneously landed on his hand during a concert. They (the doves, not the band) were released from cages at the end if Stairway to Heaven, and one of them decided to land instead of flying off.

I learned a while back that his distinctive voice is not actually his voice. It’s one he puts on as it works well for the characters he tends to play.

I was actually pretty late in watching Star Trek (but once I did, I fully committed. Started with the original series, then watched all episodes of every series), so I first noticed him in The 4400s. Seeing him in Star Trek again was so much fun.
