How do you feel about the British pronunciation of Jag-you-ah? Assuming you’re from a “Jag-waah” area of the world :)

Not sure what country you’re getting angry in, but in the UK at least, they “officially” changed the pronunciation from “hyundai” to “hyunday” with a series of adverts a couple of years ago.
They were literally called Hyundai (i.e. with high-un-die pronunciation) in all their own adverts and everything for the last 40 or 50 years. Of course, basically everyone still calls them Hyundai.
I don’t think ignoring a companies “rebranding advert” really suggests anything about someone’s knowledge or care.

I’m not quite sure what the fuss is about with this one - I thought it was quite a clever joke, and I don’t really think there’s anything distasteful about it. Still, the game is of no interest to me whatsoever.
“I already work at that job but they’re firing and re-hiring at a lower salary for the same work” must be pretty high up.
We use the phrase “self-unemployed”

As well as accelerate and brake, they’re very useful for aircraft rudders or some directional thrusters in spaceships.
I can’t think of much beyond that though. I think the analogue up-down-left-right sticks are a lot more commonly used - if only for moving a character in 360° rather than 8 directions only.

True, but I’m fairly sure “on accident” doesn’t come from non-native speakers.

That’s kind of fascinating - though it’s only about 1/10th of the amount by weight - so something like 75g of protein would need ~300g of Steak or ~3kg of Broccoli (about 10 full heads of Broccoli).
For plant based proteins, you’re probably better off with beans.
You have a lobbying meeting with people from various NHS trusts, and advertise directly to them one-to-one, then things go into further tests/trials and may be chosen as one of the solutions/options to a particular ailment.
You can then pay some sort of additional bribe/special offer directly to doctors to be the preferred option for that particular ailment.

Yeah, whatever, anyway are they making loads of RAM? Can I have 64GB of Ram for £300 again please?
I suspect some small town in the UK somewhere definitely does that.
They would also be able to enjoy the “Nate the Snake joke”.
Maybe popular in some 3rd world colony or something? :P
It’s both of these things - I had a quick look and scrolled to the bottom. It was the one I was thinking of. The final pun is based on pronouncing “lever” like “levver” instead of “leever”.
Why did the Baker have mucky hands?
Because he kneaded a poo.
Isn’t that the one that only makes sense if you pronounce a word in a specific weird way?
Partially, but it’s the £5000 camera in combination with the additional kit a £5000 camera owner carries around with them, like putting a tripod bag and a spare lenses bag on the same shoulder.
It’s probably made by the artist Jeff de Boer, rather than being a historical suit of armour.

Some of it sold for about 6000 Canadian Dollars about ten years ago.
So though the price has likely gone up a bit by now, you still might get something for £6,000 or whatever - it just might be kitten armour or mouse armour.
… and then from the toilet’s position, the illusion wouldn’t work at all.

A little bit of mustard in my life,
A little bit of marigold by my side,
A little bit of lemon’s all I need,
A little bit of gold is what I see
