Slack is dismantling what I've spent decades honing my email filters for and there's no analogue.

It's that the guy who won this time is a horrible human being and is the head of a party that seems barely interested in governing, but more in enriching themselves even if it means sacrificing rights and privileges of those they govern. The guy that won last time is not as horrible a human being and was interested in governing for all Americans.

So when the oligarch heads of companies decide to donate to the new guy's big party, it's tantamount to simply ignoring all the truly shitty things the new guy and his party have done and have said they're going to do, because it's more important to the oligarchs that the real power in the land[1] look favourably upon them and their designs. It has been made abundantly clear that currying that favour costs money.

[1] Make no mistake, the US government is more powerful than all of the tech companies in the country and its new leader intends to wield that power as capriciously as he sees fit.

I highly recommend using Fluid Film instead of WD-40. It will coat better and last a lot longer (you'll still have to put it on once a year).

Couple is two. Few is four. Several is at least five. There is nothing for three, except for very large values of two or very small values of four (these are so uncommon in practice that we just use three).

> Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.
