“who has bandwidth?”

likefunny

In defense of bandwidth: it's not just about having the "time", but also the energy, the ability to take something else on. So bandwidth to me is a more respectful way of asking for someone's ability to juggle another ball in the air.

“Get under the hood” .... when 99% of people probably have never actually even looked at a car engine, let alone worked on one. It’s actually hilarious if you think about it, since the image of someone opening their car hood and still not knowing what they are looking at is what would really be happening.
