I’ve never used it, does it handle docx authorship better than libre?
Honestly, I’m not even 100% sure they *need* Word or if they’re just being told that by their boss.

It’s $150 for a “perpetual” license - but that’s not including any one drive storage. The Office 365 SaaS (I think now it’s Microsoft 365?) starts at $99/year.
I know this because I’ve been trying to find a solution for my sister who *absolutely needs* office to get a workable solution for Linux. Supposedly, she has to submit papers/writing as docx and can’t trust LibreOffice not to fuck up formatting.

Or just have a hard cut-off for software released after 2022.
It’s the only way I search for recipes anymore - a date filter from 1/1/1990 - 1/1/2022.

I’ve gotten dinged for not having *enough* accounts/credit lines.
My old car payment fell off last month, and I bought a car with cash (not a great car, but it was cheap) - now I’m in the “fair” zone.
But fuck me for not wanting a shitload of credit cards/loans, right?

They tend to be fairly sexually explicit - think fanfic levels.
At least that’s been my experience.

Yeah, if you don’t worry about someone impersonating your account you don’t have to reserve.

Come with me back to IRC land. The water’s fine.

You weren’t lying. I’ve never heard of Half Alive before, they’re not bad!
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 2 weeks ago:
No, in addition to the reasons brought up by the other commenters, I’m starting to think that “computers as a service” will start to be a thing.
Google’s Stadia by all accounts wasn’t horrible, but it was pricey and the selection was subpar.
But what if Amazon, Azure, and Google start up some post-AI burst equivalent that provides a use case for all that processing power? Sure, the GPUs used by commercial AI aren’t designed for gaming, but Nvidia could see the writing on the wall and start partnering with hyper scalers to create massive racks of gaming GPUs. *And* it would be one step closer to the ultimate goal of removing personal ownership of things! Pay a subscription for a cloud gaming PC or try your luck on building your own.

Do you have issues with anxiety/panic attacks? Fun fact, panic attacks can manifest physically with nearly identical symptoms to a heart attack!
(This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get things checked out though)

At a minimum if you still have the shirt (I lost mine years ago to a communal laundry room), you could wrap the steam machine with the shirt.
- Comment on Valves first title with a 3 in it 5 weeks ago:
steam machine is a cube
Or would you say it looks like a box… Maybe an *Orange Box*!?!
I’m calling it - a limited release where the black shell is orange and it comes bundled with HL3 for free.

Old LucasArts or Sierra games like Escape from monkey island or Kings Quest would be good.
Plus they teach kids to hoard everything because you never know if you needed that custard pie to defeat the Minotaur in act 4.

Either that or hyper violence. I’m getting Doom vibes for some of the fighting.
Actually… “Doom, but with mutants” could be interesting.
