For the last 20 years, I’ve worked in smaller tech start ups (~10-50 people) and one larger more corporate tech place (~300 people), and they’ve all been salaried, 9-5. Since they're salaried, it’s a paid lunch period.

The “queue to connect to the server” is how I read their message.

I’m in an urban area where my apartment building is wired for only one ISP. $92 a month, the speed test I just did was 400 down, 20 up.

From Snopes:
An alternative theory holds that the creature's altered appearance in taxidermy form was intentional and/or the result of the taxidermist's expectation that the animal would be viewed only from a particular angle:

When seen from the side the lion actually has quite a ferocious appearance. In this context, the lion’s bizarre tongue and fake teeth make some kind of sense. Even the close-set position of the eyes seems to have been done in order to make them appear furrowed and angry. Perhaps the taxidermist simply focused too much on side-view images when mounting the pelt, or the lion was (somehow) never intended to be seen from more than one angle.

Here’s a picture from the side.
