#LibreOffice became my favorite word processing suite after MS Office/365/whatever it calls itself these days became almost completely paywalled and LO is not only a nearly drop-in replacement but I can also convert documents to pdf just by using the Terminal on my Linux box.

And, yes, this is part of LibreOffice's May promotion but so what? I promote products I actually not only regularly use but are also intuitive.

Due to brexit related supply issues and heavy budget cuts, funding for the royal portrait can only supply the artist with a single colour.

MTG is trash.

Full stop.

never argue with a fool, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience — Mark Twain MTG absolutely represents her district.

Why is Trump saying "the prison populations are down all over the world"

"they are emptying their insane asylums and sending them"

??

This is just a pure 100 percent fabrication with nothing to even seem like it might, if you squinted, and read it backwards to back it up, right?

I mean if he can just say any damn thing and people will buy it why not? Wow.

Looking back over #hacker related headlines from the 80's I've gotten to 1989, and it is really hard to exaggerate just how badly Kevin Mitnick was trashed in the press.

I knew in a general sense that he was but damn, stumbling across headlines like this. #Hacking hysteria and demonization.

Waiter: Would you like some olive oil on your pasta?

Customer: Is it extra virgin?

Waiter: tearing up No it’s the same price.

Sorry about the oil pun.

That was crude.

I try to be more refined.

I’ve wanted to have a Dekay’s brown snake a a pet forever— I think a terrarium with Storeria dekayi and carpenter ants would be amazing— but if they now live in the park I can go see them there. Even better. They eat snails, slugs and worms and lord knows we have those over by that wall. I suspect there is one of NYC’s many buried streams and brooks under the wall in the park. It’s so moist all of the time.

Hey @Vivaldi do you plan on still supporting Manifest v2 extensions? If so, are you going to open your own extension repository so extensions like @ublockorigin can still be downloaded?

Last night our cable internet box randomly died. It’s totally fried and must be replaced. This happened just as my husband got home from work, waking me up to tell me the governor of NY had issued a warning about power outages during the Coronal Mass Ejection (there was a big solar storm last night) — basically I thought the world was ending and put my laptop in the oven. (it’s a faraday cage)

I may have overreacted.
