So weird. As a Scandinavian, "welfare" to me means schools, healthcare, elderly care, sick pay, paid parental leave etc., paid for by the shared burden of taxes for the benefit of everyone.

It is a word with entirely positive connotations for me.

Or sweeten it up with the long form "Regards of the day".

For real though, worst is if they sign of with "Enjoy your evening" or similar. Dude, it's 11 pm and I'm already in bed.

As someone with 2 kids, they still are!

The story so far: Rosamund's father has become ensnared by Mr. Shabby's extraordinary personal magnetism. Bob and Janet have eaten Mr. Farquar's goldfish during an Oxfam lunch, and Mrs. Elsmore's marriage is threatened by Doug's insistence that he is on a different level of consciousness. Louise's hernia has been confirmed, and Jim, Bob's brother, has run over the editor of the 'Lancet' on his way to see Jenny, a freelance Pagoda designer. On the other side of the continent Napoleon still broods over the smoldering remains of a city he had crossed half the earth to conquer...

I am not, but can you lend me a bob until next Thursday to mend the shed? I am expecting a postal order and can pay you back as soon as it comes. Love, Ewan.

If I had money, I promise I'd do something useful with it. Like putting up a shed in my garden.

Shame they didn't mention grandmothers, they can be the most patient listening to ramblings about Arch.

If you've already procreated, you have less to lose.

Nor about bringing back their CLI :/

In similar cases I've passive-aggressively intentionally misunderstood and/or acted confused. E.g. "Yes, we can set ut up an API between X and Y, but what exactly do you want the bot to do?" Then let them elaborate until it's clear they're not asking for a bot.

I've always just assumed it's because uncovered feet are vaugely intimate

Especially when they're in my mouth

That's so weird, I'm 7 years older and I still look like a child, comparatively
