@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:
Also wondering if 16GB (plus SD card) is even feasible with Android 7+ (base model has 7 but updates to 8 and 9 are available). My phone from 5 years ago has Android 5 on 16GB and it's getting pretty cramped. Very few apps on it support being installed or moved to the SD card. Has that changed with newer versions of Android or is support handled on an app-by-app basis?
I think that with the new (as of Android 6 or 7, IIRC) unified storage it's supposed to Just Work™ as long as your SD card is fast enough, but I've only ever used SD cards in the "external storage" mode, so that I can use my much faster USB3 card reader to load em up with music.

Status: Got a roll of vinyl and decided to YOLO an idea I had for a little while
Pros:
- The parts that look good are sick AF
Cons:
- The places where the vinyl can't stretch enough to accommodate the parts of the hubcap that curve inwards look like shit
- All the edges where I cut holes look like shit
- The Hyundai logo looks like shit
- Especially in the places where I had to stretch the vinyl, the edges don't adhere to the surface very well and will likely peel within 1.3 seconds of applying the hubcap to my car
- It took a long time to get even this shit result
Final result:
I don't think I'll do the other three, and will peel this one before putting my summer tires back on, but on the other hand I've got a shitload of vinyl for fake carbon fibering some mostly convex solids in the future.

Status: Bought an expensive "XL" ink cartridge for my printer the last time I needed ink, hoping it would last. I used it once a few months ago, just to print a few pages, and it's empty already. That was like $15 of ink per page...
Status: Bought some cheap remanufactured XL ink cartridges online. Holy smokes, these print much higher quality than the OEM HP ones! And I'm not DRM'd out of them!

@loopback0 Maybe, although I suspect that would require more stuff that I don't have

It's hard to find romantic greeting cards for polyamorous relationships.
Time to break out the felt tipped red corrective pen.
To the other love of my life.
You are one of the ones for me.
You are the most important part of my life except for my primary.
Edit: and yeah, I could just ignore reality, but then the whole card feels disingenuous and I feel like that nullifies the entire sentiment of the card.

Where is this wonderful statue?
No idea, unfortunately.
Unlike the hogs in the cute things thread, I stole this picture from the interwebz.The inscription seems to be German but I can’t read the city name.

@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:

I found it, it's a place called the Römerplatz (Roman Square) in Kirchheimbolanden and it is eerily close to where I live.
Picture is from Flickr:
However, it seems to be a replica only of the bronze original "Sitzender Keiler" (sitting boar) in Munich in front of the hunting and fishing museum: on Google Maps.

Or when you feel really heartful. I'm not a fan of standardized "now's the day you say nice things" rituals. I'd prefer people say nice things when they feel nice things. But then again, I'm not exactly the shining example of how to do social. So YMMV.

Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. Surprise gifts definitely feel more genuine, but set dates of gift-receiving make the significant other primed for receiving gifts, allowing for stronger emotions - kinda like watching a movie where it's obvious there's going to be the plot twist, but you can't tell how the story will progress from then forward.

Status:
I needed to print some PowerPoint slides, to use as reference for a technical discussion with my colleagues. But PowerPoint insists on cropping away the edges of the slides. This won't do, since the slides are covered edge-to-edge with technical diagrams. And none of the printing options make it better, they just cause it to crop even more.
In the end, I took a screenshot of each slide, cropped to the relevant picture in Irfanview, and printed as a picture album via Right-Click->Print on the .jpgs ....
I'm sure I'm and . But I can't take all credit. PowerPoint should have an easy way to print the whole slide.
Edit: sore->sure

Fucking strange. Usually it leaves a shitton of dead space around the page such that I can make origami from the extra waste:
Are you hitting the "Scale to fit paper"? Because the default templates don't fit on a page because reasons.

Yes. They'll all crop unless you fiddle with margins and shit.

@Tsaukpaetra Your screenshot of the print-view looked different, so I tried to find out what version of Office I have.
...I still don't know what version of Office I have. It doesn't say it anywhere. Is there an "About..." menu somewhere?
There's no way to launch PowerPoint separately, and I don't want to sign-in to the Office launcher. ...I've been using word mostly for continuing existing documents or filling out template ones, so I hadn't noticed that there's no way to launch Word without opening an existing document file.
Hmm...
There's a start-menu folder for "Microsoft Office 2013", but the only thing inside it is "Skype for Business 2015".I give up. Screenshots work. Period. And that's all I ask for in my tools.

Yeah, they stopped putting Office apps in the Microsoft Office subfolder with 2013 I believe.

I didn't know it was even possible to have it not litter your start menu with the program links!

That reminds me:
The "uploads" page on my profile says "Uploads are public, all visitors can see them." That sounds like a potential source of problems when you only delete your post but don't delete the upload. Or for pictures posted in the Lounge.I just tried, however, and can't access the page on other people's profiles.
