  • you think this distracts them?

    This distracted me back then. This distracts me now.
    Who would’ve guessed that people who filled everything with scented stuff in school would grow up to be adults that use scents to fix all problems?

    • Minor body odour distracting the guy next to you? Fill your body with odorant that now makes anyone in the whole room nauseate.
    • Body stinks of whatever you smoked during the break? Noone can tell if everyone’s nose is blocked.
    • Chinese mousepad made out of non RoHS compliant rubber, has residual industrial volatile compounds causing nausea? Well, the room “freshner” can cause more nausea. Fill godowns with the perfume and nobody will notice the Chinese rubber.






  • tl;dr No to boneless wings

    Wings without a structural element are pretty useless for flying.
    Even mosquito wings have structural elements, enabling them to not only flap, but also rotate.

    For a human wing to work, it would require extremely strong structural elements to sustain the loads required to lift the human.








  • I don’t really remember enough about Excel anymore, but considering that I don’t remember having that problem despite how many years I used it, I guess that is the case with it.

    And yes, a toggle would be nice. In fact, a few months ago, I was thinking of putting up a request over to the LibreOffice team, when I was working on the table view of another OSS project, but then procrastinated until I forgot. Honestly, if there are enough people that have a problem with this little thingy, it’d be better off fixed. Specially in the Qt implementation at least, it really is just a boolean toggle even for the developer.

    Would you like to put up a bug report to them?
