Thanks, I hate it

Use a piece of leather or some multiple sheets of masking tape

Arsenic was also used to give lollies a green colour 😳

I forget who said it, but:

There are four types of economy.

• Developed
• Developing
• Japan
• Argentina

I don’t understand the stigma against whitewash nowadays. Seems to look great

I think the issue is Apple guards their wallet so tightly that basically no jurisdiction can get their IDs in it

Surely a court won’t accept Disney taking away its jurisdiction

Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.

I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

If you have the room, you can often buy these second hand for a bargain from colleges etc. They’re built like tanks and you can wash almost anything inside them. When they do break, laundry operators try to DIY so there are videos everywhere on how to do repairs.

NGL the thumbnail looks like the first dance at the themed gay wedding

Apparently grindr etc are banned in the athletes village. They’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way.

This is the news that matters

I expect this will do wonders to improve the frequency and reliability of the Sunbury/Pakenham lines since they’ll be basically isolated from the rest of the network.

The government will need to keep separating lines from one another to fix the CBD crunch.

Needs collab features somehow 🥲

Thanks for this one! I’ll be giving it a go in my next project

I wrote my thesis in LaTeX, which is very unusual for my discipline. Now that I’m done with that, everything we’re doing it’s collaborative Word docs. Collaboration features in 365 have been transformative. (Remembering the dark old days of emailing the Word doc around like a hot potato.)

I’m very used to Word and can get it to do some great stuff that most people don’t even know about, but I wouldn’t touch it for something over 20,000 words.

As for LaTeX, I was fine once I got a good template going. Writing one sentence per line is a fantastic way to draft. But there are some fine tuning things that I remember took up a lot of time that I would have had no problem fixing in Word. I distinctly remember trying to get tables to look right when you had paragraphs or dot points in cells.

Oh, and that one reference whose URL refused to break in the line and instead just went off the page. I never found a fix for that.

Go to overleaf.com and say goodbye to a chunk of your weekend. 😉

Yeah I find that the pellets dry everything out after about an hour. You just gotta be on top of emptying the sawdust as it piles up and things stay pretty odour free
