That’s what people have said for years, and it’s a bullshit solution that shouldn’t be necessary. Word has had 40 years to address simple shit like this.

“Hey Word, I’d like to remove the header and page number from page 6 and only page 6.”

“Go fuck yourself user”

Sometimes you actually have to go to the top line of the extra page, select that break it won’t let you delete because Word is the fucking worst, and change the font size to be impossibly small.

How so? I derive great joy from bringing joy to my loved ones. Love and happiness is greater when shared with others.

Yeah. Any time I want to talk off the record it isn’t because I’m trying to be sneaky and corrupt. I’m usually just venting or being super sarcastic.

No secret handshake deals occur over phone calls, but sometimes I’ll hold a “Come to Jesus” meeting with someone over the phone because I’m trying not to take them to court and tear down their house they built without a permit or inspections. I have to convince them with pretty frank language that I’m being nice when I’m trying to drag them through the process of having their plans reviewed and building inspected, and that if I stop hounding them it’s because we’re prepping warrants and injunctions and bidding out demo contractors.

I work in municipal development. When I want to call you instead of emailing you, it’s because what I’m going to say is something pretty frank that you’d rather not have a written record of. You, Mr Civil Engineer, don’t want your client to do an Open Records request on me and find the email where I had to explain to you, in detail, that water flows downhill and that your drainage plan shouldn’t show water moving parallel to contour lines.

It’s like the difference between being in the blast radius of a fission bomb vs a hydrogen bomb. Does the size of the blast really matter glfrom ground zero?

When it’s 100 degrees outside, I avoid the outside as much as possible. If it’s 120 degrees outside, I avoid the outside as much as possible.

If they take the poll to heart it can still be a sucess. They can advertise that they listened to their users and changed course.

That’s the thing about really good marketing - it should not only drive users to use your service, but the reactions to that marketing can be used as market research to improve your product and future marketing in a manner that drives even more users to your product.

I’m a third-party non-employee lecturer at my local university. I teach scuba, underwater photography, and scientific diving. The courses are taught off-campus at a dive shop using the shop’s its classrooms, pool, and equipment. The liability insurance is paid by me.

There’s a lake on campus we dive at, and the university charges students to enter it.

The students have to pay $3000+ in tuition for some of my classes.

…and the university doesn’t give me or the shop a dime. The students have to pay a 200 dollar lab fee, and that’s split between me and the shop for the semester. The only thing the university provides is the course numbers and taking the money, and they get 30 times as much money as I do.

I have multiple individual cameras I use to teach the class that cost more than I make in 5 years of teaching the photography class.

And they want to charge me $800/year for parking for the rare occasions when I need to go on campus.

Fuck that - I just let them ticket me. The parking services department isn’t a law enforcement agency. The biggest threat they really have is withholding grades for students who owe parking tickets.

Yeah. They published the minimum specs to get the OS to run at all with zero consideration for running actual software.

The thing with Vista was it was it was th3 first really major rebuild of Windows in a long time. Going to 98, ME, XP, etc you had increased minimum specs, but things like drivers and shit generally worked fine, so as long as you had the necessary RAM and processor to run the OS, you could just install the new version and shit would probably work.

So when Vista came along, the manufacturers selling existing models just shipped with the new OS expecting everything to work without testing.

Ring, also owned by Amazon, shares their video surveillance with Flock, which contracts with local LE agencies who share it with the feds.

0 warrants required, and ICE is actively using the data against people.

Windows Vista launch was a fucking mess. My office bought a laptop for a coworker in early 2007 that shipped with Vista but didn’t have Vista-compatible drivers for the on-board audio. They had to buy an external USB sound card.

The third game also had that horrid “menuless” interface.

And in a series where magic was so OP it made other combat options useless in comparison, it had by far the most OP magic.

A maxed-out melee or ranged character would take twice as long to kill a single enemy as a low-level mage would take to kill a group of 10 enemies.

Prescription pill bottles are a perfect balance.

You can put the cap on one way to lock them in place to keep kids out, requiring the lid to be pressed down and twisted to open, or you can flip the lid over over to make the pills easily accessible by simply unscrewing it. I’d be 100% okay with a step on phone setup (that can also be run at any other time) that allows the phone to be set up similarly.

Yeah. I used to work in a destination outdoors store that sold sometimes hundreds of guns in a day. Once every few years we would find an unattended firearm in the store - usually in the bathroom. People would have a gun in a holster, and when the belt came off and slid down they’d lose retention and slide behind the toilet.

Even though every employee from the janitor to the cashier to the finance people were required to be trained on how to safely handle a firearm, we had a small list of managers that were allowed to handle guns that had been left unattended.

Out of 200 employees there were 8 of us allowed to secure a weapon.

The worst case of abandoned guns we had was someone who bought a concealed-carry purse, decided they didn’t like it and returned it. 2 weeks later they came by to ask if they’d left their gun in it.

I found it in the purse on the sales floor. The customer service team got a very stern lecture on another reason why we always inspect returns.

They really, really need to prioritize separating themselves from dependence on American tech companies and payment processors. That has to be accomplished to shield themselves.

Then they can and should embargo us and seize American assets until we get in line. After which they can resume trade, but keep the assets of the American oligarchs who have refused to defy the fascists.

Better Chrome link here.

If they come to kill me they’re gonna kill me. I can’t stop that. But that doesn’t mean I should make it easy for them.

If we reached the point where they came into my house I’d be fucked no matter what, so I’d take as many as I could with me. No use in making my death meaningless.
