  1. 1. It's worth what you paid for it. 2. Yes, it'll even open older Office formats that even Office struggles to do 3. Yes 4. Nope, StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice was designed just for the purpose of preventing this. It's not great software but then... neither is MS Office.
  2. Was told my son's truck might need a new cat. New cat added.
  3. Yeah that was my immediate first thought before I bought it. But these things are apparently very tough (given that they're real wood and, if you take an axe to em, well...) and have a lifetime warranty on the mechanism AND rave reviews.
  4. 👇 Basically. I only bought the Peugeot after my plastic pepper mill broke. So I wanted something that won't break, holds lots of pepper, grinds relatively evenly and has a dial to adjust. But even that was ONLY $40.
  5. Daughter also has some "mermaid" cookbook that is just awful. Second-rate recipes dolled up with tons of food coloring, candy shapes and fondant. Given that's the thing that usually catches her eye, this was a very pleasant surprise. Another neat thing? The Stardew Valley cookbook is split up by season; and the recipes use actual seasonal ingredients. We had to tell her we can't make the pink cake (Summer) because we have to wait for strawberries and watermelon to come into season.
  6. See, I would've said "Reggie Wilson."
  7. Naw, pulled pork bbq tacos. 2 flour tortillas, toasted 1/2 lb pulled pork 3 napa cabbage leaves, thin sliced/shredded 6 kosher pickle slices chopped finely 4 Tbsp or so chopped red onions 2 Tbsp ranch 4 Tbsp bbq sauce serve with 2-3 small David Beckhams
  8. I'd take a picture but they're almost gone.
  9. oh yeah, even with inflation you can get em for $8.99 a bag down at Costco
  10. oh yeah, because David Beckhams just grow on trees and everything, I've got a David Beckham tree in my back yard right now... I'll just go pick a couple David Beckhams off it right now to have with my tacos
  11. A 6'5", 305-pound, standout SOCCER player? What position did he even play? I'm gonna guess goalie... how do you even kick a ball around a guy that size?
  12. Whiny and not useful. Not useful. OK that's more useful. I'm looking for the nerd "what is happening" not the CR BS "what is happening." Anyway... So basically you've set up a proxy/cache of X so that when people load tweets, it comes from your servers instead of theirs, so that X's shitty performance doesn't impact Surly's. Right?
  13. explain what's goin on here
  14. Not really common knowledge, but it is now.
  15. 1. I was born 2. I spent to much time arguing with dipshits on message boards 3. I died
  16. who's the lady between Martin Short and Greg Davis?
  17. Did NOT expect The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook to have top-notch recipes that I could make with my 11-year-old, but here we are. (Recipe for poppyseed muffins makes 12, not 11. One was consumed for quality assurance purposes.)
  18. This thread, and your post especially, remind me of Kevin Smith's story of having to let Jason Mewes hit rock bottom. Every time Mewes would fall off the wagon he'd go to Smith's house, who would let him in, clean him up, etc. But finally he learned he couldn't do that. He couldn't be Mewes' safety net. So Mewes came by, and Smith went out and... told him he couldn't come in, like he had all those times before. Hardest thing Smith ever did. Mewes sobered up.
  19. I figured as much. Gauge seems to be the thing that mostly matters. Funny story. I remember when D'Addario went out and tried to make strings for bowed instruments -- violin, viola, cello, etc and I got my hands on a set for the cello. They were terrible. Squeaky, thin, twangy... they made the cheap shit "Super Sensitive" cello strings that rank beginners bought seem quality by comparison. But then, a set of strings for my cello now sets me back as much as the whole guitar did. Makes a huge difference there.
  20. Well, after almost a year of playing my Pacifica nearly every day, the strings that shipped with it are showing signs of wear. What's a good set of strings for a cheap Super Strat copy that sound good with high gain?
  21. NSIAP fantastic write up on WHY Elon did the Nazi salute
  22. I mean... But we're talking about Hans here. Also, I don't think Elsa swings that way.
