In kind of a lazy sing-songy cadence, starting high and drifting down. Imagine a surf dude saying, like, “don’t mention it” and you’re in the neighborhood. ---

So, did they get it wrong? That would be 6x7. Of course considering our education system it would not surprise me. The odds that these kids know Douglas Adams is even slimmer. The ability to read is a long shot too. ---

I’d just respond with .857 though. Much better if other adults just break up in laughter. This can work both ways. ---

_“Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the Biden-era move to [Calibri] ‘wasteful,’ casting the return to Times New Roman as part of a push to stamp out diversity efforts.”_ Ummm… WTF are you talking about? Do you perhaps have a job? If you do, call in sick for the rest of your life.THAT would save money. Changing a font on a file is a big deal? This is not 1925. Go away. And take your ‘boss’ with you. Bunch of morons. What in The everloving F is Rubio talking about? I do NOT want any of the drugs he is on. ---

Sans-serif only, that will save a ton of money. And Trump will collect them all and pay the serif’s to you. Simple really. This is still - “The house is burning down, but I should mow the yard”. I’ve met some stupid people in my life, but none stupid enough to qualify for Trumps cabinet. I have standards. They are low, but give me a break. ---
