Me: omw [autocorrect: On my way!]
This happens so fast I usually end up sending this before I can delete, and everyone must think I’m weirdly enthusiastic about coming to see what’s broken on their computer.

My timeline - it’s full of moons and Earths. So good.
That is fast turnaround.
I have an apartment in Redmond for the work week. Seaplane will have to wait, but is on the bucket list.
Wave when you get to the tech center stop, I’m at MS now.

"Digital displays and printing led to the use an additional unit:
1 twip = 1⁄20 point = 1⁄1440 inch = 127⁄7200 mm = 0.017 638 mm."
If I have to know "twip" is a unit, now so do you.

Or maybe it's natively using points or some other small unit? Basically I think "My settings are off by 2 points" or "off by 1mm" may trigger someone's memory differently from "off by 0.02-3 inches"
If you're using A4 paper, can you switch these units to mm just to see what it says? I think you may be operating with 7.5mm margins and it's off by 1mm which may be an easier thing for someone to understand. I don't think I'll understand it but someone else may only recognize it in metric?

Why ten billion? Why not one hundred quadrillion?
Hmmm - a playthrough script could be automated and run through at 10x speed or something. If I’m bored I may try that.
