Glory to you and your house!

Two of my favorites are one-pot chicken riggies and baked ziti

I’ll take some cleaning house vs 0 cleaning house.

This is like dusting the china cabinet while ignoring a giant hole in the wall from someone crashing their car through it.

I don’t have this issue in any other apps, so yes, def a Teams thing.

What OS are you using? AFAIK there’s no way to pin the separate Teams windows to the Dock in osx.

Yes, it’s a different window.

The issue is that it’s not the first window that Teams selects when I click on it.

Blame it on the macbook if you like, but IMO Teams is at fault.

Current pet peeve: I’m in a meeting, and I click to switch to another app to check something, then I click the Teams icon to switch back to Teams. Clearly, in this case, I want to get back to the meeting.

Instead, it shows me the calendar view. WTF, Microsoft?

New Zealand. Beautiful place, and the coffee, OMFG, they really know their coffee there!

Sigrid ain’t here

Star Trek for me, I think (though oddly, I’ve played in a Star Wars tabletop RPG but never a Star Trek RPG). My wife and I started watching Deep Space 9 from the beginning about a month ago. I had seen some of it a while back (not everything, busy with school at the time). She had never seen it. We just finished season 1.

I don’t think it qualifies as “old school”, but I do like the Vorkosigan books.

Lately I’ve been on kind of a Scalzi kick. I’m partway through the Interdependency series.

It’s so easy to armchair quarterback other peoples’ lives, especially when they grew up in a different culture from your own.

Ha, I was going to comment on this.

Boats are also supposed to have white lights at the stern and (if they have one) at the top of the mast.

Whoosh :(

Oh, it’s real. I’ve been there. Beautiful place.

Maybe you need newer maps?

Meh, that’s not even a lukewarm take. It’s a common sentiment.

BUT

It won’t make embarrassed teenagers any less horny.

I love Brandon because he’s an absolute machine at writing. I’ve given up on too many amazing series because I just don’t believe the authors will ever finish the work. Brandon is a breath of fresh air in that regard.

That being said, he has a really specific range to his writing. Personally, I can’t binge too much on his work or I get a little bored or restive or something. Kind of like eating cereal for every meal – it’s great at breakfast, but at some point, you just need some variety.

I doubt it, at least in the US. The rich have a lot of influence over how laws are made, and I don’t really see any appetite to pay a greater share.

Lots of great recommendations here. I’d also add Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. Her Penric novels are quite fun, too.

I had the opposite experience. Once I started working full time after college, I felt like I had SO MUCH FREE TIME!

I did have a part-time job during college, though. That might have skewed things for me.

I was sad when AOL started sending demo CDs instead of the floppy disks :(
