the human *ears. we need both ears working together to determine the source of a sound.

teamwork makes the dream work, people.

that man, he had a plan, for the canal…

crap i messed that up.

Calc crashes all the bloody time. want to drag a worksheet tab? crash. want to drag a field to a pivot table column? crash. want to copy a bit of a formula? crash. want to exhale? crash.

plus it has no support for tables, xlookup, or power query. it’s like an unstable version of excel from 1997.

when it comes to spreadsheets, excel is the best in twrms of stability and features and google sheets is next. calc is a distant third.

whatever they have to replace word, too, pales in comparison because it’s so much more finicky to manage styles and formatting. but it’s apple’s Pages that’s surprisingly the best–most festure-packed-- word processing application.

their powerpoint replacement is functional but doesn’t contain all the features of ms powerpoint.

because people can’t misuse laws for pet euthanasia in order to get an early inheritance, or to get their toe in before a will changes.

is this not just affirming the premise of the sixth book? that’s the whole reason why Potter found the Prince’s spells so fascinating. school subjects are not meant to entertain. they are meant to teach.

my main gripe would be that nobody taught english or any other form of formal communication at hogwarts. i dunno how they all just didn’t end up speaking like Hagrid.

is this our timeline’s version of “there are no atheists in foxholes”?

one wonders on whom the police will pin the blame for this murder.

and what about big PCs?

bot users? yes!

human users? well, yes.

folks, if you play on lichess, do consider donating.

i could afford it for one month and i got this cool “wings” icon next to my handle. it felt good swaggering into tournaments with that by my name!

genuinely curious: what problems do you face on lichess’ ui?

i personally havent found anything in the lichess experience detrimental.

is that where the rainbow ends?

that aphorism about pots and kettles needs to be reworded to human beings calling other species “invasive”.

no metaphor would be more fitting.

perhaps you ordered it off their website and clicked “reject all” to the pop-up?

huh. so global warming does have some benefits.

what? and ban all flights to australia?

1.4142135623746…?

wait till they hear about the amount of chlorophyll available in the real amazon!

just don’t use whatsapp? problem solved!

even the strongest amongst us would quail

on hearing the specifics of every such tale.

one would be ever so inclined

to declare that the worst of mankind

lives today in that state of israel.
