Rubezahl,

What has she done?

What ceasefire? Which one, of the numerous conflicts now on Earth, is referred to here?

Rubezahl,

Same

Rubezahl,

A regime like Putin’s is stable until it suddenly is not. Russia has a lot of dark times ahead of it.

Rubezahl,

I have heard that you should divide by two and add 7.

I am 40, so that would mean I should be attracted to 27 year olds and up. Generally, it checks out. Caveats may apply, as people are, you know, different.

Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

Rubezahl,

Did you try sci hub for the separate chapters (if they have separate doi)?

Rubezahl,

You sure about scihub? I am finished without it. Do you know what’s going on there?

Rubezahl,

Someone needs to start a cat infestation. My garage used to be like this. The I opened a window, so that the neighborhood cats could enter.

No mice after just a couple of months.

I am not even joking, the situation in this trench seems serious and cats are brutal hunters.

Rubezahl,

Can I use MS Office natively with that? Also, can I use it as a non-techie lay man in a way that is similar to the way most office bottom-feeders use Windows?

I know there is Open Office but I am lawyer and the free office alternatives just don’t have the rich formatting options I need to do my job. I have tried and they just won’t do.

Rubezahl,

ToC via Styles formatting and Table of authorities - these are from the top of my head, which I remember not working properly with Open Office. They need to work when I do them and also should be displayed correctly when I receive them from colleagues in docx format.

Format painter, track changes, spell checker in two languages, intendation adjustments, page breaks, and paste as text - I use these like crazy but I don’t remember if they were OK in Open Office or not.

Rubezahl,

I was absolutely blown when I discovered that Peggy and Leela are played by the same actress.

Rubezahl,

Well, I hate mmunism as much as the next Eastern European but this is absolutely true. Commie blocks rule.

Rubezahl,

So I have owned three dogs in total. One was scared by the explosions.

The other two just barked at them and seemed to think of them as a game. Initially, at least. As they got older, they just grew indifferent.

Rubezahl,

This reminds me of that post apocalyptic Robert Evans novel (the Behind the Bastards guy)

Rubezahl,

Why is he Andy Bernard from the Office?
