…depending upon the week, somewhere between ⅔ and ⅘ of my workflow can be in outlook…
…our IT policy required a shift to new outlook last year and it devastated my productivity: i struggled against its user-hostile interface for a couple of weeks and eventually just stayed home so i could get work done, despite our back-to-office mandate…in short order i was given an administrator account and i’m back on old outlook again…
…i drove from the gulf coast to northern california twenty-five years ago and had to thoroughly clean my windshield of bugs every fuel stop, which was pretty typical of road trips for thirty years prior; i can’t remember the last time i’ve had to clean my windshield of anything other than dust since the mid-2000s…
…when i trained as a rescue diver, i learned that it’s not drowning unless you die: if you survive, it’s a near-drowning…
…for fine drafting, rotation is the last thing you want: that chisel-tip is precious, lead holders are love, lead holders are life…
…pretty much this: you’ll be fined for anything other than well-groomed grass growing in your yard…
…i climbed onto the roof of the press box over kyle field and peed into the open air hundreds of feet below: it evaporated before hitting the ground…
…the craziest part was that it wasn’t there throughout the entire show: during that particular set, it loomed up from nowhere behind the stage and then lurched out over the crowd, or at least those of us who had pushed up front on the floor…
…i’ve seen some pretty epic shows by some pretty epic bands, but the last time i saw muse play, i did not expect to see a F*CKING HUNDRED-FOOT MECHA lunge out from the stage…
…if you’re into paper books (and a hefty table) the DK complete world atlas includes a lot of geographic information, or if you prefer a dryer, more-authoritative presentation, the times world atlas is the grandaddy of the format…
…it looks like DK also offers a digital version of their previous editon…
(i have the millenium editions of both atlases, and they’re both fantastic tomes, but i think the DK complete atlas is more of what you’re looking for)
…it’s what he avoids: russian carrots are accompanied by russian sticks and trump’s kompromat runs decades deep, capital-punishment deep at this point…
…his only course of survival is to double-down on whatever his handlers ask of him…
…i tie back my hair or tuck it behind my ears when i eat…
…why does it include three pry-tools?..
…came here to post the same: we have a lot of flagship lego sets but rivendell is an unparalleled masterpiece, so exceptional that it makes almost everything else seem unworthy of shelf space by comparison…
…homo sapiens sapiens: so wise we named ourselves twice…
…so the thing is that, after accounting for time dilation, light is instantaneous and perhaps better-described as the speed of causality…even a ‘perfect stick’ comprising quantum-crystal wonder-material can’t move before it’s pushed, so you’d find that it, too, transmits information at the speed of light…
…a little bit ferrous, yes i really do think…
…this is its best use case: something very specific but with waaaay too niche to justify its production cost, like an image for one scene of one session of one group of four players…
…if you have the economy of scale for publication, real art by real artists is often (but not always) definitively stronger…
