The new outlook has exceeded "garbage" and gone all the way to dumpster fire. It sometimes takes upwards of 15, 30 seconds to open an email. The new auto formatting is a hindrance to be overcome by tricking it to act how you want. Trying to schedule an event across timezones shits the bed half the time, resulting in improper meeting times being sent out. Absolute failure.

Lol the downvotes? Let's see, the full context here...

“Basically, there really is no such thing as — I need to be careful about saying this, because people will really get upset — there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian,” Huckabee said at a 2008 campaign stop in Massachusetts while speaking to two Orthodox Jewish men. “There’s not.”

In response to a question from one of the men about the possibility of a Palestinian state existing outside of Israel, Huckabee said he believed this was the preferable option.

“You have Arabs and Persians,” Huckabee continued at the 2008 appearance. “And there’s such complexity in that. But there’s really no such thing [as a Palestinian state]. That’s been a political tool to try and force land away from Israel.”

I've never been against self defense personally, but never felt I needed one previously.

That sounds very productive, wishing you luck in your pursuits

Ah man, I should buy a gun.

Feeling depressed, trapped, and abandoned. Going through the motions, trying to come to terms that I won't be a dad because the wife doesn't want to risk a pregnancy under the conditions, and I won't be a homeowner because no ones coming to help build houses or stop corporate real estate. Accepting I won't be starting a business because I can't risk losing healthcare, and will need every dollar I can hang on to. Settling for serfdom. You know, usual shit.

How are you.

Jesus christ that's fucking sad, and very preventable.

As someone who said "hell no" earlier in the thread, asking for four stories with a fridge is an entirely appropriate situation to tip.

Check your delivery contracts, they'll usually specify ground delivery or one floor only. Four is very much above and beyond, and worth the bribe if they'll agree to it.

In US and Hell no. I paid for the furniture, I paid for the delivery. My side is done.

Slippery slope to a poisoned nation, with a long tail of carnage and collateral damage. I can understand the motivation to indulge though.

Short term cheaper, long term much more expensive. Like all things when you're broke.

"Path analytics show this gesture is one of the most commonly used, and often results in the user leaving the app shortly after. We're bleeding retention because of it. What if instead, we show that user a new video?"

"Brilliant Bob! That will definitely keep users engaged."

Likely actual discussions occuring at youtube...

 

I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.

Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.
