Wow, today I learned. Thanks for sharing.

This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn’t there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record

And then you go to Settings / Privacy / Data and all you find is a link to the privacy policy and terms of service.

So you search online and find several relevant posts on a support forum, such as:

• I cannot find this setting
• The “on” option is grayed out
• I tried to set this to “on” but I got a cryptic error message saying to contact my system administrator

All of them have been open for at least a year, hundreds of users clicked the “I also have this issue” button, and none of them have any useful replies.

The player character may try to quickly skip through dialog they’ve already heard, so if they interrupt you, just pick up on the next sentence you were going to say.

In some engines, the player character may also be able to walk away mid-dialog. If this happens, feel free to continue talking while they’re still within earshot, or berate them.

I really do wonder if the first thought to cross my mind after witnessing the beginning of an irl avengers-level threat will be “wellp at least I don’t have to go into work”.

That’s an oof and a half right there.

I’d say stage 4 is being the keystone attendee: if you don’t go, the whole thing falls apart. Even if you somehow manage to get out of the meeting, it has to get rescheduled because it “needs” your input. The meeting thus becomes inescapable.

Stage 5 is when everyone else realizes you’re in stage 4 and begins to cater to your availability and preferences. Obviously this is mostly theoretical.

Continuing with the analogy, even the honest attempts to fix Mondays are characterized as impractical, idle fantasies.

How about we don’t schedule critical meetings to start first thing Monday morning? Even if that’s the “only” time everyone can meet? And if it’s really the only time everyone has available, doesn’t that warrant questioning a bit?

Or what if we just start later on Mondays? And maybe we consider not offsetting it but working later on other days? 39-hour week? 36-hour week?

Side note: do I have this right? You can actually picture a time in the foreseeable future where you never have to use Excel again?

If so, I am soooo deeply envious of you :P

Imagine a universe where plants were responsible for modern climate change, Earth Day celebrated deforestation, and Impossible Foods was developing this monster fiber-chicken.

There’s even a proper stroke order

Don’t forget Eeto, the fabled fifth element.

And in the precise moment I saw this, I realized both of my monitors were displaying Excel on full screen. Sigh.
