The simple answer: nobody is actually reading any of these licenses. I run into the problem constantly and even people who should know better do not (most of our IT staff for example...)

Using the find function on my phone browser doesn't find it but it does come up when manually scrolling and as long as you don't move too far the find works. I'm thinking there is some sort of rendering magic going on, would explain why scrolling is so fast.

Windows documentation is an absolute mess. The only reason you can claim it is "documented" is the sheer volume of users, but that's not necessarily a good thing when suggested fixes include registry edits, disabling security features, and running everything as an admin.

Excel is probably the one sore spot for LibreOffice, but also Google's suite and really everyone else. Excel is tough to beat, especially when you consider the additional power of things like Power Query and Excel on web having JavaScript functions.

That said: I truly despise pivot tables and I no longer use them. I use lookups, countif, or other functions to display what I need, otherwise I use Power Query.

Plenty of countries have lots of guns. Virtually none of them have any significant number of mass terror shootings, even the ones with otherwise high rates of gun violence.

America is built different.

I knew a guy who used "delayed" as an insult after HR told him to stop calling people retards. It offended people just as much but wasn't against the rules.

People will find a way.

Don't two of those say it is immoral to charge interest?

Most people do not care about (and do not want to care about) anything under the broad topic of "politics".

If you try to force them to care, they will punish you. That's what we're seeing, but it's also why it's so damn hard to stir people to action before things go wrong.

One way or another you need grid-scale turbines to maintain grid frequency. Solar power can't set frequency and wind power is too variable, so power grids use some sort of turbine to do it.

Nuclear reactors are also necessary to generate things like medical isotopes and tritium for industrial processes, and fusion research. Someone, somewhere on Earth needs to keep their fission reactors going.

Just about every major advance in technology like this enhanced the power of the capitalists who owned it and took power away from the workers who were displaced.

lol but seriously this is the first time I'm not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.
