FreeOffice is my current alternative for anything that has to be .docx compatible. But for my own internal documents, it’s Pages.  I can always output to PDF if I don’t need to send editable documents. I have had to (and hated to) use Word for the past decade, daily, when working with publishers of academic books -…

I’ve looked around a bit but haven’t found much info on the composition of Ryugu (or most asteroids). The presence of large rock would seem - to me - to imply a larger geological process than just the coming together of dust particles over billions of years into a “clump” of material.

So far it seems as though I’m in the minority... I suffered through the first two seasons of this show, desperately waiting for it to get better. Travis’ death was a good beginning.

Search the web for “Mexico” and “nazi”. Prepare to be abso-fucking-lutely astonished. Like I was, waking up one Saturday morning, looking out the window, and seeing a shiny black Chevy Silverado parked in front of my (horrible) neighbour’s house here in narco-land, with nazi banners pasted into the rear window. Her…

I’m a fan of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware for Mac, but I question whoever had the responsibility to name the software. Originally “Adware Medic”, a user-friendly and moniker that implied something helpful, the MAMM name is, frankly, scary for precisely those users who need to use it. It’s a name that - were I not…
