Seriously it’s still a month away. The election cycle in the US is ridiculous.

Similarly plate tectonics - not fully recognised until the 60s apparently.

The venues were pretty cool I thought. Nice break from ‘generic sport stadium A’.

That’s a great idea - didn’t think of that

So the issue comes when using tables.
Make a table cell end at the bottom of the page, and you’ll likely have a new blank page appear at the end.

The reason is because word needs a ‘new paragraph’ marker (the backwards p symbol) after the table. This delineates where the table ends - it’s part of the formatting. You can’t delete it.

Ways to get around it:

• Don’t make you’re table go to the end of the page.
• Reduce the font size of the new paragraph marker to 1 (you need to enable show formatting marks). You can probably fit this at the bottom of the page without losing much space.

As an Australian, here’s the real war.

Clicking on the human rights link in your quote:

The United States is ranked well[5][6] on human rights by various organizations. For example, the Freedom in the World index lists the United States 53rd in the world for civil and political rights, with 83 out of 100 points as of 2023;[7][8] the Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters Without Borders, put the U.S. 55th out of 180 countries in 2024,[9] the Democracy Index, published by the Economist Intelligence Unit, classifies the United States as a “flawed democracy”.[8].

One would hardly think 53rd and 55th is ‘among the world’s highest’.

Near field communication - it’s an antenna that sits inside the back case and let’s your phone interact with payment terminals and the like that support it.

You can add your tap and pay card to your phone and tap your phone instead.

Grrr you reminded me that lollipop got rid of the notification ticker.

One of the nicest implementations of notifications and they scrapped it for intrusive heads up.

Antarctica: 🥶

I don’t really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

I’m still bitter over Inbox.

I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager’s daily musings that drive what development does?
