Is it? Almost every time I use it I end up hitting a bug or missing feature. Just last week I was trying to get Word in Office365 to keep some lines together. I followed the instructions from Microsoft's help and it didn't work. Last month I was trying to get "slide M of N" on the bottom of PowerPoint in Office365, but apparently getting the N is just not supported.

LibreOffice almost always works for me, far more often than Microsoft Office.

I think we're agreeing. I mean, if your neighbor paints their mailbox with a rainbow then that's something that will make your house harder to sell.

I have a cherry wood cabinet from the 1890s that I use to store food. Every day I take a box of cereal from it and put it back.

DuckDuckGo search found this with some actual (albeit opinionated) context:

I don't think that raising kids was ever easy.

I put a tl;dr sentence or two at the top of any e-mail more than a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes for those too.

I run my own email and I have to say I wouldn't recommend it.

The biggest hassle is dealing with either Spamhaus or Microsoft, who apparently at random decide to put my IPs on blacklist, and who provide hurdles to working around this (for Spamhaus) or just say "no" (for Microsoft).

I think because for most Americans their home is their single largest asset - usually their only one with any resale value. So they jealousy guard against anything that might reduce the value, like a neighbor who does anything out of the blandest, most ordinary things.

That's right. He's still making his excellent history podcast, Hardcore History, at his traditional relaxed pace. 😆

A podcaster who used to make a podcast called Common Sense stopped because he felt he had said everything he believed and there wasn't any point in making new shows.

He did one recently which basically said "well it happened just like I expected, but I didn't expect it would be so sudden".

(At least, that's what I took from it....)

I was about 80% successful switching to Signal from Telegram. So worthwhile.
