Every time I download a program for my @surface@twitter.com, it tells me "SmartScreen can't be reached right now". The number of basic features of Windows that never work leaves me ... well, not so much surprised as disappointed.
A lot of nouns (gift, leverage, etc.) are becoming verbs. What words are moving in the other direction? @GrammarGirl@twitter.com

Two upsides about the @surface@twitter.com Pro 6: It is exactly the right size, that is, as large as can held in one hand. The pen also beats a finger, because it's more precise and you can hover with it.

This kind of pessimism isn’t accurate. After all, there’s occasionally a short break that you spend being completely drained and exhausted, just up until it’s once again time to dwell on all the crap you have to worry about. https://twitter.com/kramski/status/1148338745600598016?s=21
Ross Perot has died. He got almost 19% of the popular vote in 1992 -- and zero electoral votes. The Electoral College erases third parties.
I tried asking the "Virtual Agent" on the @surface@twitter.com web page". OF COURSE it's useless.
It's not just me, and apparently this problem has existed for years: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/all/virtual-keyboard-always-on-top-instead-of-docked/1c433043-18c2-462c-8b2a-34808d69c422?auth=1
UX fail: the virtual keyboard on @surface@twitter.com appears on top of where you're trying to type (e.g., bottom of a Google doc). On my Android the app is compressed to make room for the keyboard. Can anyone explain why @Microsoft@twitter.com chose to do it the useless way?

Stages of debugging code:
* Staring at it and asking it
* Putting in breakpoints
* Adding print statements
* Going for a walk to clear your head
* Running into the woods
* Befriending the forest animals
* Building a hut
* Learning about nature
* You are now a hedge witch

@robertkaplinsky@twitter.com I used to keep mine vertical in the marker tray (point down) for this reason! Nothing is worse than a dried out marker!

I had no idea you could do this to take a dead whiteboard marker and give it life again!

“OSHA violation” and “nsfw” technically mean the same thing
