I am willing to forget pretty much any fault on Outlook when I compare it with the absolute dogshit product that is New Outlook.

Click on a Toast and it opens the email… in the background, never in the foreground.

Have anything other than Email selected (calendar, for example) and it doesn’t display the New Email notification on the tile, so if you didn’t see the toast and have anything other then Outlook open in the foreground, you don’t know you’ve got new email until you physically go back to Outlook and click on the Email button.

Want to send a spreadsheet as an email attachment from within Excel? The option is there, but it doesn’t work any more (and the same for any other native “send via email” option in your OS out applications).

Want to send a document as an attachment? You have to open a new email, then drag the document into the correct half of the email, because if you have it too far to the left, Outlook will upload it into OneDrive and put a link to it in the email.

I could go on, but fuck me, it’s absolutely disgusting how much this breaks any previous workflow you may have had for doing email quickly and efficiently…

Firefly

Stargate Atlantis

Stargate Universe (yes, almost all the characters was unlikeable, but I’d still have liked a resolution)

Star Trek Prodigy

Star Trek Lower Decks

The Lazarus Project

Have a motion activated speaker in your pocket so that when you do get fired, it screams “wait, I’m aliiiiiive… aaaaargh!”

Enhance your calm, John Spartan.

I’ve not tried this, but I’ve heard that once they realise they’re two AIs talking to each other, they switch to some R2D2-style language which is quicker and more efficient than English…

People do occasionally forgive murderers.

Not the victims, admittedly, but their families sometimes.

Find Nigel Farage in the field after he survived his 2014 plane crash and… change that.

Possibly saving the country from Brexit even getting to referendum status, and if it did, possibly changing the result. And then maybe preventing the revolving door Tory governments that fucked up the initial Covid response, since most of what they’ve done over the last decade has been to try and swing voters away from UKIP/Reform rather then actually do things that are good fit the country as a whole.

Amazon spent billions to buy the company and millions more to get the legacy producers out of the way. I’m sure they want a return on that.

So if they are going to make more, we as consumers want then to be good, don’t we?

If they’re full of US military personnel, does it matter who legally owns the land? 😉

But also to not have multiple US military bases already on British soil.

I’m not a military person, but I feel that could be seen as tactically unwise…

Something completely realistic, right?

Buddy, the world is a dumpster fire right now and it’s only getting worse.

I don’t watch films for realism. I want the billionaires to get fed into their drug crushing machine*, or sucked out of the window of their private jet, or get minced by their giant drill or blown up in their yachts.

I want the good guys to win for a change.

*yes, I know this was a henchman. Don’t @ me

The film is great as its own thing, but the book is excellent and Wil Wheaton’s narration is perfection.

I don’t know about the US, but in the UK, rebuilding would be covered by the homeowner’s buildings insurance.

Although insurance companies would probably try to claim it as an Act Of God to get out of it. Don’t know how that would go legally…

No, just a shitty kettle.

Shakespeare invented literature, so clearly there’s no value in teaching anything from before him…

Bloody shoppers!

But at least he’d have tried… history remembers that too.

Finally! The sequel to Troy we’ve all been waiting for…

I could try and get into a semantic argument about the difference between “more complicated” and “more complex”, but I won’t 😉

Full disclosure: I play Pathfinder. I haven’t touched D&D in years…

Pathfinder. For people that play D&D and think “I wish this had more complicated rules…”

But yes, that’s how crits work in Pathfinder - if you beat the target number by 10, that’s a crit success. Conversely, if you miss the target number by 10, that’s a crit fail.
