AND!

Lucky bugger.

I’ll make you one of these for $5.

Sell franchisees a complicated and fragile machine. Prevent them from figuring out why it constantly breaks. Take a cut of the distributors’ profit from the repairs. “It’s a huge money maker to have a customer that’s purposefully, intentionally blind and unable to make very fundamental changes to their own equipment,”

That was Sam’s plan.

I watched someone print his screen by putting his monitor on the photocopier.

Pre 2008 conviction contacts can be excused by ignorance. E.g. Stephen Hawking visited Epstein Island with other scientists in 2006.

Gates was happy to make house visits to Epstein in 2011-2014

Only the price of oil going to 0 will stop oil companies sucking the ground dry.

If oil were $10 there would be much less corruption.

Even if they invested all their income into wind and solar, oil companies were never going to stop sucking oil out of the ground.

Maybe I’m missing something.

Is “a roast” a type/style of meat?

I’m confused with your words. If you are boiling something you can’t be roasting it.

Why are you acting like there is only one MS website with answers?

Because there is only one official MS forum, and it’s shit.

All the other forums you refer to are run by fanboys.

Just like windows. MS help is useless.

You can switch to Linux without having to hang out with Linux Bros. I use both OS and don’t hang out with either.

Mac fans are a different story.

All of your points apply equally to Windows (unless you are a corporate client).

Maybe he does it for free.

I’m saying that case by case, person by person there are alternatives (software and/or processes). E.g.

• If you want features A,B,C then use alternative X

• If you want features C,D,E then use alternative Y

• If you want features A,D,F then use alternative Z

But if your team needs A,B,C,D,E & F then we come to your point that there is no alternative.

I just didn’t want people reading this thread to automatically jump to the “must use excel” conclusion.

There are lots of Excel alternatives.

There is nothing that matches every single feature of excel in 2026.

I saw about 20 hours of very watchable TV. I did enjoy it. But in terms of progress towards something it just felt, empty. Mysteries that were set up had not yet paid off, and I felt no closer to any answer.

I’ve been burned before with Lost and Heroes. I decided to wait until it had concluded before picking it up again.

And detuned.

I saw up to season 3, maybe 4. I stopped because nothing happened.

• Dragon lady was still in desert towns.

• The wall was still snowy with no sign of zombies.

• Someone tried to take over a town but failed, so nothing changed.

• Lots of people got murdered at a wedding without any effect on the plot.

The small girl training to be an assassin was interesting, but done better in Hanna or Leon.
