Their point about OOXML has traditionally been that the format that Microsoft Office itself produces has never once matched the standardized standard they ratified. So Microsoft used it to check a box on some requirements sheet and muddy the waters (like this), but anyone actually following the standard would not have achieved actual cross compatibility with the massive gorilla in the space. But because it's "Microsoft's format" any issues would have felt like bugs in LibreOffice rather than bugs in Microsoft Office. In contrast the standardized ODF actually matches the ODF you find in practice.

That all having been said, I stopped paying attention to that whole scene a while ago, so I don't know what the current situation is, or if that still applies. It's possible later version of MSOffice actually moved to the standard version at some point, or that the standard was updated to match what MSOffice actually reads and writes. Possible, but I just don't know.

Y'all are killing it! Good work.

Well, I'm obviously pinching to show that it hurts when I do this... so... is that normal? It is? Okay great thanks!

Hypothetically speaking, how much time spent at a training camp is necessary for one to be categorized as a military target / enemy combatant? I don't know how the conventions work.

Similar to others here, but slightly different: start with what you're most excited about. There'll be some shitty parts where you're confused and frustrated, and if you feel like you're just doing something you're "supposed to do", it can feel like a job for no pay. Pick something you have an inner thrill for, and maybe that fire can carry you through the dark.

I'd like, just once in my life, to lose $10 billion. Someday...

Hi! I'm a cis-het man, so I'm a guest in this space, and have already gone back and forth 100 times on whether to post anything at all, but eventually decided to. I just wanted to say I've encountered cis-het vulvas that look exactly like those pictured, so if your outcome looks anything like those then you're in amazing company.

In my limited experience, feeling self-conscious about characteristics your vagina either has or doesn't have, or has too much of or not enough of, is unfortunately pretty common amongst cis women, so you may be in a place to "level-up" your dysphoria into common internalized misogyny! Yay... 😅

If any of this has come across as creepy or inappropriate or hurtful in any way, I obviously can't take it back, but please let me know and I'll delete this comment as soon as I see, or if I don't see soon enough please get a mod to blow it all away. It's a sensitive area, and tone is hard to judge over text, and also maybe none of it was a good idea. kthnxluvyoubye!

I hope I'm not missing a joke, but if you're curious in my accent (Ontario, Canada) it would basically always be "bi-sickle" and "moter-saikle"

Thank God I never got around to learning the International Phonetic Alphabet, or that might have been too easy and more useful!

Well, I do other stuff, like I'm riding my bike in the park, and this policewoman says, "Oi! You can't ride your bike on the grass." And I go, "Oh no?", and her uniform falls off, and she goes "Aaaah!", and she's trying to cover up, but I've seen everything anyway, and I get on my bike and ride off. On the grass.

Yes
