You’re absolutely right. Excel isn’t the issue, controllers aren’t the issue.

The controls and navigation were proverbial canaries in the coal mine to the bargain basement approach to design and materials purchasing for components that were under pressure.

Destructive Stress Testing, redundancies? “That stuff costs money. I know better than any ‘bloated’ established and experienced agency or company because I can save a dime”. That attitude is what killed them and doomed the entire venture from the beginning.

There you go. Guess I need more coffee

Son of Ryan Routh (man arrested for suspected golf club attack on Trump) arrested for possible possession of child pornography

I’ll admit it’s hard to find a way to phrase it that’s clear. Unless you remove the bit about Trump.

He just posted a letter he got. They actually seemed to take the issue seriously including removal and an offer of compensation for any losses.

That’s a refreshing change

Or “Agent”

Very cool. And gives me some ideas for Halloween costume lighting

It’s a link to Amazon digital product. Specifically Rick Astley “The Best Of Me” album with Never Gonna Give You Up.

The “description” of the product doesn’t matter as long as the product code is the same.

A trick I saw used a couple times on Reddit a few years back

It was a webcomic that took itself too seriously and it was so panned that the mockery of it reverberates even today.

May not be for everybody but it was definitely something to experience at the time. Sometimes the internet has these weird flashes of communal focus (which can be both good and bad) but either way these allusions are all of us nudging each others side with our elbow and winking at the same inside joke when we see it.

It’s not funny on its own. It’s funny because it’s an inside joke we all share.

The community mockery and allusion to the original is what makes the entire phenomenon.

Kind of like this pop up book on Amazon is a “isthisloss” in 3d.

It’s clever because it’s unexpected even if we all know what it is

Oh no. They published Outer Wilds, Stray and alot of other great titles.

It’s sad to see this happen to another publisher and I worry about what happens to such great IP’s going forward.

You’ll love Milo Rossi’s MiniMinuteman

Here’s his series on Hancock’s last “special”

And the shorts are a good quick “riled up session” about some of the stupid things people “postulate” online

It’s damaging because it adds doubt to any kind of scientific consensus.

“They” don’t want you to know that vaccines are dangerous.

“They” are only pushing chemo for big pharma.

“They” don’t want to admit that this was where ancient civilizations had some global empire.

It’s the same kind of attitude of “fantastical claim you can believe if you just dismiss all the evidence that you don’t like”

And that is very damaging because it further erodes understanding of the scientific method.

What is my greatest weakness?

I’m aware of my own gaps in knowledge. I have a PHD but the more I ponder on what I learned and the program I was involved in the more I realize what I don’t know.

My greatest strength?

My willingness to not give too much weight to what I know and focus on what I don’t know.

It’s designed to make sure that the contact point with the back plate is reinforced.

That’s the point you don’t want to have fatigue or stress during shipping, etc since it breaking off there when it’s plugged into your wall would be a pain.

I suspect it’s mainly there for the shipment from the cord manufacturer to the company that made the product and there’s little benefit in removing it on their end when they can then ship it, cover and all, to their end consumer.

Carl! I demand that you make Prepotente tell us what he’s doing!!

Rumor has it it’ll be in the next Mortal Kombat. My cousin‘s friends uncle works for the company and told me it’s true.

If she’d tolerate it some bangles on her paws would complete the look

Her name is Vin but her posture screams Lord Ruler

It just showed up, I’ve updated it and the issue is resolved.

Thank you!

I’ll check it as soon as it shows in my region. Thank you again
