    the amount of people who abandoned all critical thinking and believe Boeing is murdering people is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy higher than it should be. if any of you hold such delusion, be aware that you're no better than a QAnon believer. seek professional help immediately because you're already treading water with the crazies and someone needs to yank you back into reality.

    It's a fun exercise to pretend something like that is happening but yes, 5 seconds of critical thinking should lead you to the conclusion that Boeing isn't actively assassinating. You could argue, however, that Boeing's bullying lead to the first guy killing himself.

    My little one is on a toy story fix.

    Not sure if I've made my feelings known here before or not, but it's an absolute travesty they kept this thing going after three.

    The ending of three may very well be the closest to a perfect series ending as you can get.

    Then they to and make a cash grab, even creating a character out of literal garbage that real life people ended up buying.

    oh, absolutely agreed. no prior history of depression, nothing like that noted from family then when he suffers finding future employment and spends his later days fruitlessly chasing down a settlement from Boeing only to fail (twice, I think) he grows depressed and then suicidal and then kills himself prior to another day in court where he likely realizes deep down the appeal he's working on won't succeed.

    I'm not sure what happened, but Outlook is frustrating me.

    I think the settings changes with a recent update because now whenever I attach a PDF, it automatically converts it to a Cloud link. Even when forwarding an attachment, it changes to a link before sending. I do not like this -- just sent the fucking attachment!

    I don't use the Outlook app and use Outlook Web App instead, so I'm not sure if this is relevant.

    The behavior you described occurs for me when I drag/drop a file into an email, but not if I click the attach button (paperclip). If I drag/drop something into the body of the email, it by default converts it to a OneDrive link but then there is tiny little button that says attach instead. Its been this way for about 6 months for me

    The previous owner of my condo put the brightest LED lights possible on the exterior lighting. When I first moved in my neighbor (we share a stoop) asked me if I minded if she swapped out the light bulb on my front porch because she sees it from inside and also thinks they suck.

    It’s a total mood killer on my patio too. I’m aware I could do something about it but I keep forgetting and choose to complain

    I think it is the latter because I refuse to believe that many people in new cars are this stupid. It's a particular issue in new cars that sit higher up than your own so the lights are blasting a brighter controlled light through the back of your skull.

    Yes! There's a super tiny button that is easy to miss.

    Are cloud attachments better/more secure? Why are they better? I hate when another company is sending me documents, but I have to register for their stupid online portal to download a 3-line letter.

    combination of cars switching to LEDs, combined with the automatic feature for headlights. Wife had been driving around for a couple weeks with her brights on after she inadvertently hit the switch and had no idea

    it all depends on the security of your email/org and the recipients email/org. for the most part, cloud attachments are more secure than traditional attachments if you set permissions on those documents

    when you're loading documents into your cloud storage, you should have 3 permissions options. Anyone with this link can access, Everyone in my org can access, Only specific users can access. I extensively use the latter.

    For example, when I share documents with people outside of my org, I load them into OneDrive and then click share, enter the people's email addresses and then draft a quick note. Those folks then receive an email from my OneDrive account and only those recipients can see that document. When the users click on those documents, I get an email that they've interacted with it. I then remove the documents after they have retrieved them.

    don't think so, urban legend dates back to the 80s where it was rumored the Hells Angels did this but I think it's been pretty much debunked by everyone along with another gang initiation legend of gang members hiding under women's cars in shopping mall parking lots so they can slash their Achilles and then rape them
