A rough calculation of how many hours, weeks, years of govt work were wasted by the Musk #5Bullets email debacle.
Assuming 2,300,000 govt workers spent just 15 minutes dealing with Musk's email, then:
2,300,000 x 15 = 34,500,000 minutes
divided by 60 into hours = 575,000 hours
divided by 40 into work weeks = 14,375 weeks
divided by 52 into years = 276.4 years
#ElonMusk wasted 276.4 years worth of work
That’s the Dept of Govt Efficiency for you.

@tricotfeelya @christineburns Such insight....🙄
Maybe nod to the main topic first, then dive into the language quirks? 🤔

Embarrassing that Germany is now better at defeating Nazis than America is. We used to own them on that.
@juanky Sounds like a grok of shit to me 🤔

I think the point is the OP right-clicked a link in a mastodon post and copied it then sent it to someone and then noticed that it was a direct link, not full of redirects or tracking.
That's just a guess though.

One time in grad school I was in a meeting that Would Not End so I said I had to go because my ride was leaving and afterwards my friend texted me to ask "Didn't you drive yourself today" and I was like "Yeah, I'm my ride and I'm leaving."

Getting nowhere fast with my job search. Worked in IT for my working life, some 35 years in various roles; service desk management, defect and test management, service design and onboarding.... the list goes on 😆 but can't seem to get 'my foot in the door anywhere. Money is obviously a bit of a worry but it's started to affect my mental health. I rarely leave the house, get next to no exercise, can't concentrate on anything. Hopefully things pick up soon.
