if I remember next week, I’ll try to save one while offline and see what happens
I can tell you that if I use “save as PDF” while online with onedrive not running (whether because I shut it down or because it crashed and didn’t restart itself), the pdf will not show up locally for me

I don’t see why then being a guest would mean you should invite them to track dog shit and greasy dirt all over your house, though

do you not know how those work?
the sun shines on the side angled upwards and heats it up. everybody knows hot air rises, so this raises the blade, creating the spinning motion.
it’s basic, really. third grade stuff.

You’re showing your privilege lol
When you save an office file to PDF and you are in a OneDrive environment, it doesn’t save it locally - it saves it to the cloud, and then downloads it locally. it’s fucked up
I’m not going to fault people for having trouble when the “save this file as PDF” option doesnt result in a PDF immediately in the save directory
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 4 days ago:
you can still do that
it’s buggier than it used to be, though
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 4 days ago:
depends
are they trying to export a PDF from Microsoft Word? because Microsoft makes that difficult nowadays

- Comment on its a 1999 nissan actually 1 week ago:
my ‘new’ car is four years newer than my older car
I’ve had my older car for like seven years now
the jump from ~2012 to whatever my next car is will either be an even bigger relative step backwards in age, or be huge because of how many years of vehicles are simply not an option due to shitty tech, touchscreens, bad UI design, and LED headlights
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 1 week ago:
I was there for a while. I finally got around to it and played semi regularly for a year and a bit, took a year or two off, and then finished off what was apparently the last quest of the base game lol
it’s a decent game. you don’t need to a ton of time to make it worthwhile but you do need to play it in slightly longer individual chunks (playing 30 min at a time isn’t very viable).
if you can, give it a try. but yeah it does require some time, it’s not like popping into minecraft for a bit or mini metro for a round. but it’s also not like civ’s ‘just one more turn’
I liked the story, environments, and gameplay. I found I enjoyed it best when I actually relaxed into it instead of trying to rush through and complete stuff, so again yeah maybe won’t be possible for your available time. but it’s not necessary to complete it to get enjoyment out of it. around a third of the way through to halfway through is probably where I enjoyed it the most
- Comment on A new quest appears... 1 week ago:
yeah we don’t tend to have logical home choices like that over here in Canada
we also like to design bathrooms in such a way that the sink is immediately in front of the opening door, which means you’re not allowed to put the light switch adjacent to the door knob of the closed door position where it would be really convenient and intuitive, which means it’s usually awkwardly beyond the door knob in the open door position, because we never have light switches outside of the room they control
- Comment on A new quest appears... 1 week ago:
why, is your landlord coming by to check if you’ve extended a switch circuit outside of the wall?
tape that shit to the wall and live in the future with your light switch right next to your bed
- Comment on A new quest appears... 1 week ago:
getting up to grab my phone from across the room where I keep it so I don’t doomscroll in bed
because I forgot to turn off the smart bulbs that are also controlled by the switch on the other side of the room

- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 1 week ago:
yeah the question is not phrased properly
it should be “why are the people who give former drug addicts a bunch of shit when it’s convenient to them now paying attention to a former addict”
It’s about the hypocrisy, not the person’s past

- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 2 weeks ago:
I might not be able to change what manufacturers are doing, but I do try.
I write them to let them know about their dangerous LED headlights. I write them to let them know exactly why I will not buy one of their vehicles, even used, because it has a giant touchscreen interface for core controls that is useless when the sun is shining on it.
I treat owners who are making the streets more dangerous for me like shit, and I’ll tell them why if they bother to ask. most will probably just say fuck off and not change their mind, but some might actually think about how their actions affect people.
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 2 weeks ago:
because, overwhelmingly, they’re dumb and selfish and ignorant, and they choose to be that way.
some aren’t. some are willing to be educated. but not most.
- Comment on low beans 2 weeks ago:
why? it doesn’t matter with LED headlights nowadays anyways. they’re so goddamn bright they still light up the whole fog cloud, just slightly lower down. and when people turn on their LED “fog” lights it just gets worse.

- Comment on Anon time travels 2 weeks ago:
I just put an old SSD and Linux on my decade old laptop, and it’s like a whole new computer
ofc, it was probably mostly the hard drive that was the problem to begin with, seeing as it took 10 minutes to boot up and log in, and another five before it would open a web or file browser…
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
but there are people of different values.
for example, people who think others are not worth much are themselves worthless.
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 3 weeks ago:
one of the vocally pro-nazi people I still have on Facebook did a paper at university on “Elon Musk: a case for transformational leadership” and has that posted on his company website. he also has clippy as his fb pp, and his profile tag line or whatever has “I am devoted to the well being of the people”
it’s an interesting mix of beliefs
mind you this guy is Canadian. he’s gradually been becoming more and more right-wing because he has been radicalized by his view of the left through mainstream media. however when it became clear that he was pro-Nazi was when he posted about how the people who were calling Nazis Nazis have blood on their hand for Good’s murder and that it was entirely clear it was justified self-defense
