Word is the fucking worst.

"Hey Word - I need to adjust the header for just this page."

"No."

"Can I just remove the header in this page then?"

"No"

"How about the watermark? It's in the way on this page?"

"It's tied to the header."

"... I'm gonna have to make like 12 documents and combine them in Acrobat aren't I."

"Please log back into OneDrive."

Not enough detail in the comic to tell whether it's a striker or hammer-fired pistol.

Most striker (and some hammer) automatics cannot be decocked without pulling the trigger on an empty chamber.

And got those that can, you either have to pull the trigger while holding the hammer back and lowering it manually, or by flipping a separate switch or button.

If it could be done by moving the slide back and pulling the trigger, then holding the trigger down while firing the gun would result in full-auto.

He shot a Republican donor lawyer.

It was the second time a sitting Vice President shot an attorney.

Fun fact, you can't get a Quran unless it's in Quoranic Arabic. Translations aren't considered to be the Quoran, but are instead called things like "Interpretations of the Meaning of the Holy Quran in the English Language"

RFK just won an ruling that kept absentee ballots from getting sent out in North Carolina because his name is on the ballots, so now the voting can't start until the courts get everything worked out and all the ballots get reprinted if he wins the appeal.

People are literally being kept from voting right now because of him, and that benefits Trump.

Day Before was basically a scam though, and they kept the servers up for a few weeks.

By all accounts this was a real game. It's just that nobody wanted to play it.

In the last 2 years we've seen these live-service games fail at launch time and time and time again. The execs need to just accept that Fortnite already exists and you can't force that kind of success.

If he wants to flee the country I'll buy him a 1-way ticket right now.

They actually recently had a video about their thumbnails, and how different people see different thumbnails for the same video as they experiment to see what works.

At least they're honest about it I guess.

I top-mounted it to my A1-mini and it does just fine. I'd imagine the full A1 should be alright.

I'm really, truly not trying to be flippant. But welcome to the first taste of adulthood. What you plan for your life and what your life becomes are very different things. I am not who I expected to be. I am not in the career I expected. I don't have the same interests I expected, and I only have like 2 friendships from my high school days that I've really maintained.

But the thing is, none of that is necessarily bad. I enjoy my job, but as a high schooler "municipal development" wasn't a career to dream about, even though it can be very satisfying.

I have different friends and interests, but they're not worse. It's just that the world broadens as you age.

You can't really know who you are until the training wheels come off. That's where you're headed by the sound of it. Is it scary and stressful? Absolutely. But when you come out of it you'll be the person you are, not the person somebody expects you to be.

The 20s were an amazing time where everything in my life got flipped around more than once. Now that I'm a few decades past it, I can better appreciate how much I grew in that time.

I also miss having a more cooperative body.
