You can rename the .docx as .zip, and it unzips into .doc (xml) and folders full of images, etc. (same for .pptx, .xlsx, .etcx)


Huh, I knew that about Open Document formats (.odt, etc) but didn't know MS had adopted it. Cool.

Nomos is far and away my favorite marque.

As an aside, there is a fascinating lineage betewen mining silver and the birth of the Dollar in this region[0], to the establishment of precision horology[1], and thus luxury timepieces.

It's also the region where the Russians mined the first Uranium for their a-bombs [0], and where curiously a small triangle of land was neither occupied by the Russians nor the Yanks after WW2 [1].

I'm a Glashütte Original fan boy. My daily driver is a SeaQ Pano. I am currently waffling between a Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase and a PanoMaticLunar both in a silver dial. I tried both on wrist a couple of weeks ago at Teddy Baldassarre's boutique while in the Cleveland area visiting my wife's family. Loved both of them on wrist. Need to decide soon so I have the watch to take on a trip we have planned for November.

Edit: I forgot to mention that we have a NOMOS in the family. I gave my daughter a deep pink NOMOS Club Campus when she graduated high school.


I think, by now, what offends me the most is how unoriginal “Lake America” is as a name.


I treat the lakes the same as roads. A road's name doesn't tell you where you are. It tells you where you are going. If the road leading out of your town happens to share a name with a neighboring town, it isn't named as an honor. If you are bothered by the name, just walk to the end of the road and its name will have changed to where you just came from.

If you are in America and want to cross water to get to Mexico, you just need to use the Gulf of Mexico. If you want to get to Ontario, find Lake Ontario. You'll never be lost.


About the same level of creativity as "Freedom Fries"


You have no idea how hard it was to talk him out of "Lake Trump". Just be glad it's not that.


If you search the App Store and don’t find it, it’s called Firefox Klar in some markets


Firefox Focus is called Klar (“clear” in German) in Germany because the Focus trademark is owned by a German news magazine.


Reminds me of Nobel and Ignobel prize winner Andrei Geim, who authorer a paper with his hamster, H.A.M.S. ter Tisha. As I remember, he added Mr/Ms Tisha to be able to write “we” instead of “I”.

I thought in papers the majestic we was just a given even for solo writers I guess depends on the OCD of one if thats acceptable

Yeah, that's a recent change. Probably the first nail in the coffin for it.



The actual visualization seems to be https://soccer.rogerdickey.com/ which is available, and also not on Wayback.

You should really add track/follow camera, so I could click on a player or the ball, and get a orbit camera following it/them :) You could use interpolation for the parts without frames perhaps. Would be great to have free cam too! Looks pretty cool


thanks for the suggestion, i'll try adding this
