  • I think something is lost in converting it to text. Something of the essence of the moment really… You have to see it and hear it.

    But, here, we cans ee something important about both Watters and El-Sayed-- Watters fancies myself some newer, better Tucker Carlson, but isn’t smart enough to realize that he has Carleson’s same weaknesses and is not nearly as clever nor adroit as Carleson-- something El-Sayed is both clever and adroit enough o take advantage of in this moment, and does, both warning Watters of beforehand before baiting a trap and drawing Watters witlessly into it.






  • Jesse Watters is the one who brought it up, after all.

    El-Sayed (a medical doctor, by the way) only responded in kind, and Watters - having brought it up as some kind of battle mark, some line that should never be crossed - immediately reversed course at brakeneck speed and attempted to dismiss it as if it were nothing, framing El-Sayed as an absurdist for even mentioning the subject that Watters himself raised in feigned outrage, despite El-Sayed’s repeated warnings that Watters would regret addressing the subject

    I will say that excel has always been a solid product, but I haven’t used it since Office for Mac 2004, which was a solid product. PowerPoint was also pretty good, back in the day. I hated Lotus 123, but I really do miss Lotus Notes. that was the preferred method of logging calls when I worked at Dell tech-support, and it was awesome.

    But I am primarily a designer, so as someone who heavily relied on professional page layout tools like Quark and, later, Adobe InDesign, so I have a special burning place in my heart for Microsoft Word— or, rather, what it became.

    I could handle word 6.0, but after that, it was just a monster.

    Oh, and fuck outlook.

    I’d rather like Apple’s Pages app. Simple, clean, and purely functional.

    Both Plex and Kodi are forks of the original XBMC. Its legacy lives on.

    The Windows Phone tile interface was quite interesting from a conceptual UX and aesthetic standpoint, but Microsoft didn’t implement it very well, and the software itself had some serious issues, both in performance and from an architectural perspective. Then, of course, was the lack of app support, while developers rushed to support the iPhone.
