if you see anyone not listed in the EUC starter pack, someone, some account that needs to be on it (or someone I mistakenly added that is not in EUC), ping me and I add or remove them.

We were the abused.
We were the forgotten.
We were the bemused.
We were the downtrodden.

You have abused us.
You have forgotten us.
You have bemused us.

BUT

We will no longer allow you to tread on us!

We will rise, speak your names + demand justice!

Your power over us is gone as you diminish!

A lot of people who never “watch” porn or are advocating against it from religious backgrounds, are very nervous..

Their sick watch and search behavior could come public… Somehow, this is fun to watch. but honey, the devil tricked me.. LOL

in other words.. very strong words, words only, no action.. Europe is sold out to Russia because of a name on a list.
🇵🇱 Polish PM Tusk: “Witkoff made it very clear the U.S. will provide Ukraine with security guarantees so strong that Russia will have no doubt a future attack will trigger a military response. It’s not Article 5, but the implications are serious.”

Internet browsers should display your bookmarks first when searching. Results that match a bookmark should be listed above the sponsored results.

That would make sense. I valued that result; I bookmarked it. Of course, I could search my bookmarks first, but who does that?

Tuincentrum heeft blijkbaar te kort aan kerstspullen. We moeten ze binnen drie dagen retourneren.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

Working with Gemini3 for some fact-checking (Yes, I know using AI for fact-checking is...)

The one thing you'd expect is that it doesn't copy over errors like this. Right now, it looks like just a stupid copier, nothing more. It is on-premises, stupid.

Any Excel gurus out there who have wild thoughts on why a date scatter chart with date-based data isn't allowing me to treat the horizontal axis as values?

I checked the dates (got them sorted with a SORT/VSTACK), and there are no odd ones. The same chart with a different data set works just fine.

If your scattered Excel chart isn't scattering enough, how do you convince it to switch the horizontal axis from Category to Value?

It is a scattered chart FFS... I have an identical one (with newer data) next to it that behaves as it should. (dates on the horizontal, series on the vertical axis)

Question for the smart ones: Anyone experienced issues with an LG tv and an older Onkyo amplifier? My Son is experiencing issues where the KEF speakers adjust volume by themselves..

Seems to be related to the new LG tv less/not compatible with the Onkyo (optical connected).. thoughts are welcome.

Microsoft SharePoint has to be the worst searchable content solution available.

I would argue it is even pretty bad at a simple text search, and searching for images (hellooo, this 2025 calling) is foreign to it.

/rant off... I will just open all old files to find the image myself.

We had an election a week or so ago. Visited my parents this weekend and my dad (80) asks “ what is this left and right they keep mentioning “. My mom chips on that they don’t understand it.

Explained with examples. They now know what to look for next time they vote (we have lots of elections)

With the US government reopened, can they finally process my tax claim??? How bloody long can it take to see you F*cked up and need to pay me back what you withheld? I'm not even a US citizen (and happy about that).

My review on TripAdvisor of the Hilton Anaheim was removed because the hotel underwent some major renovations.

My review, I recall, was that it looked like a terrible 1970 porn movie was shot there, and nothing has changed since then.
Like 99% of all US hotels. Tacky carpets everywhere.

Travelling back from Frankfurt we have a detour to reach Arnhem. Sadly the train does not stop at any station on that detour. Just passed my house at 5km but need to travel 1hour to Arnhem and 1hour back.

C’est la vie. Sun is shining

A quote of today that stuck with me.

“You need to be agile and eager to learn; what you know today and what you do today, won’t be. Used or needed tomorrow”.

You need to be able to adapt and keep learning.

Travelling to an event. I decided to take the more sustainable transport, train. The travel time would be more or less the same, so why not.

Well, it is hell. After about the fifth red sign, trains in front of us not moving, issues with the rails, we are now 50mins late and half way. Never again

Our elections turned out to a better result than expected. The right wing party lost 12 seats to other right wing parties and more moderate parties.

They are still the biggest party but after two walk aways from a coalition, who will work with them. They are only shouting and hatred, no solution.
