Heavily dependent on the street.

Accurate even for the tech savvy. MSFT is awful.

Wait wut? Is there an alternative to Excell? Don't say google sheets because there is quite a bit I can do with Excell that I can't do in sheets.

There's also LibreOffice, among others.

Nah, slides is great. I live in slides for work pitches and if I have to use PowerPoint or keynote I get into a murdery mood.

Same. We're full G-Suite across the enterprise. There's no way I'd ever go back to Mircosuck. When clients insist we use Teams, I must exercise all that I have to avoid a murderous rage.

This. been using it since way back, when it was star office or something. Before it was open office. And for the last 10 years it's been on my company issued RHEL laptop. But today, marked a sad day. My new laptop showed up with windows 10, since they are stopping allowing Linux as primary OS. nice laptop, sucks that it's got win 10 on it. And, no way would I want a Mac. Some folks chose those a while back and regretted it. It isn't windows and it isn't Linux.

Finally getting around to this one. Need to go buy a bigger ladder, but it does look better even before it’s done. Next step is bumping around in the attic and making sure all the vents are fully chicken wired before this fall.

Boy were they chuffed that they couldn’t get in. They’re STILL going on about it.

From the things that amuse you thread….

Those motherfuckers.

I am annoyed. Fucking packrat moved into my truck, every night he builds a new nest, every morning I remove the nest. He is building in both the cabin filter and engine filter areas. I have set traps, removed the filters, cleaned rat shit up for 3 weeks straight. Still haven't caught the fucker. Aside from spending the night in my driveway with my 12 gauge I'm out of ideas. Thoughts?

Poison?

I have dumb dogs. Haven’t gone the poison route because just my luck they will find the dead rat before I do and eat it.

Don't you live in Michigan? I always though of packrats as more western and more from the desert. We don't seem to have them here at least.

I hang a ziploc bag with several moth balls in the engine compartment with a zip tie, poke a couple holes in the bag to let the smell out. Seems to help keep the mice out of the engine compartment. Dunno if it'll help with your pack rat.

Squirrels ate a hole in my wood shingle roof and were raising a family in the attic. I found out when a cat chased them in and couldn't get out. We relocated the squirrels and reroofed with comp. It was due anyway.

You are correct sir, no pack rats in MI that I know of. We just moved to SW Colorado in August and I seem to have purchased a property that is perfect pack rat habitat.

I got some of those Grandpa Gus rodent repellent pouches. Mice ate them.

I had one crawl back behind the glovebox in our Tundra and die after eating a bunch of the sound insulation from under the hood.
The first clue was the unmistakable smell of death in our new truck. The second was the chewed insulation.
I finally figured where it was, got the glovebox out and started trying to pry it out intact.
Goddamn thing came apart leaking noxious goo deep into my truck.
The wife says she can't smell it but I still do every time I open the door.
Two years later.
That's the kind of shit that annoys me.
