I have a job that involves working with spreadsheets. I have Librecalc at home and both Libre and MSOffice at work. I have also had a college course about using Excel specifically. Both really can do mostly the same things but because MS does everything in a specific (backwards) way, people trained on MS who are not otherwise "computer people" can't cope with needing to unlearn and relearn. So the end result is paraprofessionals are locked in.

My commute is about 20 miles a day. Charging level 1 at work is enough unless I go out on the weekend. My Nissan Leaf has been good enough for me. And it is neither Tesla nor Chinese.

As a New Yorker I can explain that $50 is the fine if caught by an automatic camera, its more if caught by a cop in-person. (Speeding caught in-person is fined hundreds of dollars and points on the license.) The camera fine should be more, the fine for not moving your car for the street sweepers is more! Also the fact he had 4 school zone violations in the same month means that both the fine is too little and also he would also totally run over a kid eventually if he stays in the city.

I get 40 hours of sick time off per year that I can use for vacation. This is the New York State minimum that had to be fought for.

does that mean the USA love guns more than school children?

Yes. I say this as an American. If America actually cared about children we would have been able to do something after Sandy Hook. America contains people that aren't stupid about guns just as I'm sure SA contains people that don't like slavery. But the good ones aren't in charge.

There was an MMO that was single player, DotHack. It has its fans.

I live in New York City. Apparently (based on how shocked they look) tourists come from places without: Gift Shops, Theaters, Rats, Black People, Buildings, or Walking.

How much could a new PC be Michael, $10?

The minimum for New York is 40 hours of sick time a year that has to be earned. This had to be fought for.

Steps in a staircase have two measurements. Tread and rise. The proportions of what we can see make more sense as treads rather than rises. Therefore the mattress is at the bottom. Also what we can see of the handrail would make sense in either direction.

Brave on Android is a turn-key (no configuration meshugas) adblocking solution for Youtube that let's me watch my subscribed channels without breaking on updates.

5 mosquitos.

"I went somewhere open to the public and the public was there!" That's what you sound like talking about seeing a couple bots in 2025.

Judge not least ye be judged.

I could watch the first three Captain America movies back-to-back-to-back at the drop of a hat. Not gonna include the fourth one.

The way we do it in New York city is that the power bill has two columns. Delivery charges to pay for the lines and maintenance, and supply charges for the power generation. Both are per kW, like 3cents delivery plus 15cents supply. Plus a couple of fees and sales tax.

Other than everything invented in Brooklyn I don't know what H is, but I think it'd be good enough for me.

Uh... Americans have a lifetime maximum number of reprints.

Greatest Generation, the one that killed Nazis, was cringe?

If communism was destined to collapse on itself every time, why did the US spend billions on overthrowing all the communist South American countries?
