Those of us whose ancestors were on The Trail of Tears have known this for a long time.

Well, it’s a little counterintuitive but it’s really hard to shoot stuff at the Sun as opposed to the opposite direction. That’s why the Parker Solar Probe holds the human made speed record. When you leave Earth you are already going at Earth orbital speeds around the Sun give or take Earth escape velocity. The closer to the Sun you get the faster you go and the more speed you have to bleed off with fuel to not get slingshotted out into the Kuiper Belt.

Denali is a trim level not a model, that’s a Sierra 2500 HD.

The Denali badge is just an extra “fuck you, look at my money” on top of the everything else going on here.

Decades old assumptions biased toward print rather than web based design.

I think it’s more that MS always tries to hit all the demographics at once. People who really need it are going to use Quark, Adobe, Corel, or something more use case specific. People who don’t are going to be fine with Pages, Writer, Word, etc. the few times they need something more powerful than a word processor. Publisher ended up in the “no-man’s-land” in the middle.

Word is far older than Publisher and is meant as a desktop publishing application.

More importantly though, Publisher is EOL.

You just need to change the image to “wrap through” or “wrap behind”. In Word it’s usually under the “Wrap Text” option when right-clicking on the image.

Perfection is the enemy of good fallacy.

We aren’t getting rid of gas stations or capitalism anytime soon, this is something that we can do right now.

I have never understood why so many people have an issue with an obvious jobs program.

Fantasy was just super popular in the early 2000s and adjacent decades. There were a lot of franchises vying for second place in various media including Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings, The Series of Unfortunate Events, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, Redwall, Twilight, and Game of Thrones. I would even add things like The Never Ending Story, Labyrinth, and The Dark Crystal. I am sure I am missing a bunch too.

My grandpa was a truck driver. He told me he hated bobtailing (driving with no trailer) because he didn’t get paid for it.
