Me, now: "Yeah, I still got a dodgy knee from that thing that wished it had killed me."
I mentioned before that I'm reluctant to accept LinkedIn connection requests from financial advisors I don't know because experience is that it's just a prelude to a sales pitch from them. I should add "SEO consultants" to that list.
Oh wow. This is a serious reminder to check the #privacy policy before you deploy any kind of cloud-connected tech in your life. And be very careful about what and where you're sharing.

I have occasionally speculated that ICE's tactics are as much theater as enforcement. That them tackling migrants and tear gassing liberals is as much a show the administration is putting on for a base that enjoys it as any kind of real law enforcement.
I can't help but wonder if the administration's actions have affected reporting (or the willingness of hispanics to engage with gov't surveys) over the last year. 🤔
It does.
"Money can't buy happiness" Mmm...yeah, but people who can pay somebody else to clean their house tend to be a little happier.
#Copilot Notebooks can do these things too. The first 4 are sort of variations on the same thing but I agree they're incredibly useful. I do them as well. #AI

... corner of the Styles gallery) to open the Styles pane.
By default it opens as a floating menu that you can drag anywhere you want. I recommend docking it to the right side of your window by dragging it over there. It will snap to the right-side of the window when you get close enough.
As you know, especially if you've ever heard my colleague Barron Henley present, Styles are everything in #Word. The Styles gallery on the ribbon is the default way to apply styles, but it's not the best way.

Productivity.
In the course of opening and closing Edge windows, probably in the wrong order, last week I lost a bunch of tabs I had open. I could just go to the History tab and reopen them but...this time I shrugged and thought "Eh, lot of those had been open for weeks and I'd never bothered to read them."

@rogeragrimes.bsky.social Hi Roger, saw your post on the ttax.us text messages - I received some too. When I do a WHOIS search it looks like that domain is actually registered to Intuit. 🤔
