Now you have me interested … I have to try this

Keep up the pressure. We went through the same thing, but after a year of Teams misadventure, execs finally realized the savings wasn’t worth it
Have you actually tried Teams? It stands above all the rest for number of issues. There are a lot of good ideas, but then it’s like they had a bunch of interns hack together the ui over a weekend and never fixed it
You mix your own muesli? When I’ve tried both that and granola, I find them way too sweet. Too much added sugar. The hazards of living in the us, I suppose. But I’ve never tried mixing them myself.
My breakfast
- 8oz low-fat plain yogurt
- banana
- top off the bowl with Cheerios or similar
Regular as a clock
The problem is geothermal is very limited by location and fusion is still decades away. We need both to contribute but one will always be an insignificant percentage and the other will be too late: we need to get carbon neutral faster than fusion can help us get there
Unions can strike. Unions of critical services workers, like air traffic control and police, can not legally. This is the first time I read that federal employees can not.
Unions can still be useful, even if their most powerful tool is taken away.
We’re forming a squad! Almost a team!
It was a gift, over 20 years ago. I married her
BRO!

I so want to reply something about sniping that will get me put on a list, but it’s clear statements from the administration have successfully demonized certain law enforcement agencies.
I know a few cops and generally believe they do a good job. It’s easy to say #ACAB when the headlines are a small percentage of officers. Yeah, yeah, I know
After speaking out against the formation of DHS after 9-11, I admit to accepting it and letting it go. But it’s clearly a huge part of the problem here. Individual agencies would have given more opportunities for checks and balances against the fascists. Letting our fear drive us to one huge overarching national police agency has led to all the problems we feared. This needs to end
There’s no way to justify the way ice has been acting. No way they will ever be trusted again. There are all the memes talking about how we don’t hear from the proud boys and similar ilk because they’ve been recruited, and it’s way too easy to believe. Thats exactly how ice has been behaving.
++++ I read of two states with bills pending to reject ice from any state law enforcement jobs, and it seems like a start. We all need to talk to our representatives and at least get this going
Saving money is a valid choice, but it may just be short term outlook here.
My brother used to work for a public electric utility and they buried their power lines where possible. The neighboring private utility guys always pointed out how much cheaper their lines were to maintain. But the public utility had solid data providing they saved money over the long term, by better protecting their lines
Maybe the real issue is the idea of a “collaboration tool”. You could argue the only such ambitious tools I’ve tried are lotus notes and Microsoft Teams, and both were horrible: lots of services but in an ugly ui with poor usability. Teams had unreliable phone and notes didn’t have it at all.
It’s much better dealing with a set of tools containing better implementations of the feature you want. Maybe it’s just not useful trying to cram that much functionality into one tool.
And yes I’ll name names, I currently get much better results from
