I can’t sleep in the shadow of the light

And they had not paid rent since January? I will never understand the notion that some people, regular people, not billionaires, deserve to lose income while some people deserve free housing because of “family”. While he obviously went a bit overboard, I can’t imagine there wasn’t some desperation in his actions because he had not been paid rent for months on end.

Shit like this is why I switched to OpenOffice and then LibreOffice all those years ago. LibreOffice is just as good for my personal purposes and I’m never going back to MS Office. Unless your work specifically requires something only Microsoft’s product can do, I highly recommend LibreOffice, I use it every single day.

Some software just literally isn’t available for Linux. And lets face it, even Ubuntu requires more tinkering than the average user is prepared to do, or in other words, any tinkering at all because they would have to install it themselves and they do not know how to do that. And the few times I’ve bothered to use Linux even as my backup, the tinkering never stops. Its not worth the hassle at this point in time.

Just make sure anything you order is either “fulfilled by Amazon” or “Ships from Amazon” and you should avoid that. I personally don’t order anything that isn’t shipped by Amazon (either through fulfillment or otherwise).

I’m too stupid to figure out the scale between that pole and the earth, so I did this instead:

  • Let us say that we have a standard globe and it has been attached to its stand from the south and north poles, so that you can spin it around on the stand

  • Let us assume that the “pole” attached to the globe is 2cm in diameter and that the scale of the globe is 1:42M

  • With this, it would mean that a 2cm “pole” on a globe would in real life correspond to a pole that is 840 kilometers in diameter.

Needless to say, that pole would be fucking massive either way.

#4 in Social and 3.4 stars in Finland and the first reviews you see without tapping on anything are negative ones and they’re actual reviews that list legitimate complaints.
