When I posted this thread:
Do We Have Any Aviation Fanatics Here?[^]
I was hoping there was at least someone out there who shared my fascination with aviation. Not only am I astounded to see how many of you are aviation enthusiasts, but I'm extremely glad to see that I'm not alone. What a great thread!
I'd love to see your favorite aviation-related videos. If you have a favorite photo, share that as well. Do you have a favorite aircraft? post a photo of it. I don't care if it's a bird. If it *flies, and it's one of your favorite videos or favorite photos, then share it.
*house flies, mosquitos, and moths are prohibited
One of the best videos, ever.

It's got "Air Traffic Control" in the title. That works. Anything from SNL works, too.
That's a funny video. When I first started flight school, that's what it felt like. I've
heard it from several people - one of the most difficult things to learn are the radios.
I agree with them.

you might try dxf to stl to cdr
stl format is an ascii format easy to read (all triangles mostly) very commonly used as an export option.

Some reports say he died.
Others say he's at a hospital in Brazil.
The New Stateman's page for it is 404, as was another outlet I checked.

Wiki says yes. But you know take care, it is only one source: Noam Chomsky - Wikipedia[^]
What the hell, I'm really shure they showed the final date . Opening the link again, it disapeared

I'm on the phone so I'm distracted - but I skimmed the wiki, and did not see it there.

Noam Chomsky
Avram Noam Chomsky[a] (December 7, 1928 – June 17, 2024) was an American professor and public intellectual known for his work in linguistics, political activism, and social criticism. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics",[b] Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Among the most cited living authors, Chomsky has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.

Seems yet another retraction.
Given all that (the 404s, the edited wiki) I'm thinking there were initial reports he died, but he resurfaced at a hospital in Brazil.

Yep, also in the wiki history very much edits/reverts ...
At the time I edited: The italien version still shows the date: Noam Chomsky - Wikipedia[^]

Thanks. Yeah it was bizarre. I normally don't get taken in by hoax death reports, though I don't think this was that, as I normally do some due diligence using google if it looks like it even might be false.
I thought so here when I first heard about it, so I started looking through google and I was getting hits from reputable news outlets, but when I clicked on a couple I got 404s for those links.
I would expect a retraction so I wasn't entirely sure what happened. The whole thing was bizarre.

No, it's not a joke, but I'm going to let the Lounge come up with posts at joke level...
Question 1: wife or hubby has to go off to work. At what point do you hit the shower?
Question 2: in your family cell phone plan - can you track the location of SWMBO so you can clean up before it happens?
Question 3... oh crap, she's on her way to the car....
I'm expecting your best efforts  I expect this to show up in the next letter... let's go.
I might spin this into a survey.. or something, and send someone their selected beverage or item of choice. Raman is cheap to ship.

- If you are working from home, do you need to shower? Water conservation!
- Yes, but I do not need to track SWMBO. She will have Siri send me a text “Home in 5 minutes, be ready to help me unload the groceries, goat feed, etc”

You want people like me to make up a joke? I'm dumb as rocks.
charlieg wrote: wife or hubby has to go off to work. At what point do you hit the shower?
After about 3 weeks or so.
charlieg wrote: Question 2: in your family cell phone plan - can you track the location of SWMBO so you can clean up before it happens?
I don't know who or what this SWMBO is. You want me to track this SMWOB thing/person so that I can clean up before it happens? Something only needs to be cleaned up if it's dirty. Logic tells me that this SMWO8 thing is going to cause something to get dirty, and I need to clean it up... Well, I'll see what I can do.
charlieg wrote: Question 3... oh crap, she's on her way to the car....
This doesn't sound good. OK, when this unknown female arrives at the unspecified car's location, that's bad. Got it.

This unspecified thing needs to be spun, then you want to put it into a survey? ...or something... OK, I can work with that. Someone will select a beverage, or an item of choice and it somehow gets sent to someone. Who's this Ramen guy? I could be wrong, but I think it might be illegal to ship people. Leave Ramen alone and focus on tracking MWSBO before the unspecified female gets to that car. It's going to cause a mess and I'm going to clean it up. OK, I'll get right on it.

Well, go and f*** yourself.
And to his mate who thought this must be default and non-changeable via an option, you can go to.
I know, it is not the first time I rant about this, but oh God does this cost me time.

Can you not OpenOffice or something?
I want to cackle like a madman watching the pendulum swing back towards "uhhh, this stuff sucks and native apps will always be better".

I am very open to alternatives, but in this very case it is at my workplace AND I reckon I enjoy the MSOffice suite.
Sharepoint is a big POS however.

Their thinking seems to be led by 'be better than Google at the online office suite'. Just look at the current 'New Outlook', it is an online interface in a native app  . I guess they think that is where the majority will end up, online, with less and less users of the native apps 
BTW, if you can't open an office doc in the native app from within SharePoint then I think that that's an admin setting, not an MS imposed limitation. From the ellipsis (...) menu, the Open item should give you three options, Open in browser, Open in app, Open in immersive reader.
