Microsoft’s Outlook cannot send large files.

Like dissertations.

Microsoft help explains that files should have images and pictures removed to be emailed.

They want me to take the figures and pictures out of my dissertation.

Another option would be to use Onedrive, however that never works. Every time I send a large file via Onedrive, there are infinite problems and no one can open it easily.

Microsoft Outlook is not capable of supporting higher education.

I’m gearing up for my Comprehensive Exam, which I think in some schools they call the oral. It’s a dissertation proposal and presentation wherein I strike a deal with my committee: I do all this and you give me a PhD.

At my school there seems to be no meaningful difference between a thesis and a dissertation.

Things are mad around here.

DnD players, if you play a fallen paladin and you don’t go full Noldor, I don’t know what you’re doing with your character.

Look, I understand nostalgia and all, but EFI is simply better than carbs.

Going from drinking three or four Monsters a day, plus preworkout, to three or four Redbulls a day, plus preworkout, is a shocking reduction in caffeine. It’s hard to get going when I’m used to that kick.

Bitburner, which is basically a Javascript tutorial, is my new game.

I remember the comic pages as a kid, and most of the news I read doesn’t have a comics page anymore. WSJ had two comics, not pages. One was Pepper and Salt, which was reruns of business-y jokes. They aren’t funny, but most of the old comics weren’t. The other was A Piece of Work, which never really had a chance. I couldn’t just click on the picture. It was a whole multimedia extravaganze, and it kept running afoul of my adblocker and malware protection. It wasn’t malware, but I’m not going to whitelist a dozen websites to exhale forcefully once every five comics.

WSJ really doesn’t make their material easy to read.

Need some dragons up in this hoard

Shall I compare thee to a summer day?
You are more humid and distemperate.

I saw the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile on Sunday, and the rest of this week is looking like embracing the glow.
