Man I forgot about so many of the posters in the previous pages. This thread is like a flashback.

Question: Has the "Search" feature not worked for everyone in the past year or is this just me?

I will search a key word and often it will show me a few posts (often older) but still highlight said key work in more recent posts in that thread. These latter key words will not show up in the search results.

^ Yes, I've experienced the same thing for about that time. But I found a workaround that seems to find the latest posts. In Advanced Search, use the "Find Posts from" dropdown under Search Options, select a value and then any other parameters you want. It overrides the issue

Question: Why is the search function on Windows SO F*CKING AWFUL AND USELESS?

And why is MS Word so f*cking unstable? And what the f*ck is the deal with 1.08 spacing and calibri, and all the other bullshit that MS Word imposes (no matter what you do to change the defaults to Times New Roman, single-spaced etc.)?

Office isn't office anymore. If the question is who is using 365? The answer is most of us

I went into a Wal-Mart in North Carolina and the sizes basically started at XL. The few smaller sizes available were discounted. The point of this story. People do need big vehicles to fit their fat asses.

The first thing I do whenever I start a new Word document is go into paragraph and make it single space with no above or below automatic spacing.

What is more infuriating: Inflation or Shrinkflation? Lately we have been experiencing both simultaneously.

I enjoy how "For Sale" items are now the old regular price after they jacked them up multiple dollars.

Costco always, always, always, and always does this. Especially for Balderson's cheddar (the price goes up every month).

In Canada the truck also needs Freedom Rally Stickers, F@ck Trudeau stickers, and stickers about guns. Those really show the maturity, intelligence and easily influenced mentality of the driver.

Because we all need semi-automatic rifles to be free.

A confused voter? They can't be NDP supporters so who do they vote for?

Save On Foods has been the worst here. My wife eats a special kind of vegan butter due to allergies and it has gone from $7 to $12. It was 'on sale' the other day for over $8. Thankfully Sobey's and Superstore still have it for the old price.

Wow those trucks are special. I see many middle finger and Fuck Trudeau stickers. Also some batshit anti-vaxx, evangelical conspiracy theorist plastered vehicles fairly often. Some of them are the equivalent of crazy Doomsday street preacher signs.

what an idiot. there is no way that I would patronize a business that has a cornucopia of juvenile anti-political slanderings.

Boo fucking hoo, you didn't like the lockdowns. Get in line, wussy pussy.
