Okay, der Rest Mac and Cheese von letzter Woche hat im Kühlschrank die Konsistenz von Bauschaum angenommen. Mal schauen, ob das noch was wird...

3-D printed markers for Torpedoes and Tides. Design and photo by Ilya Yudovsky.

A user of the naval wargaming group over on FB has created 3-D files for Torpedoes and Tides: boats, blinds, a measuring stick and even moon markers. Fantastic work!

AI has ruined cute animals videos for me.

Another WvAC is possible.

Das ist gerade das geringste Problem, das diese Welt hat, aber: Die Meerschweinchen in unserer kleinen Herde sind depressiv. Der Tod ihrer furchtlosen Anführerin Minerva („Mimi“) vor ein paar Wochen hat die Gruppe aus der Bahn geworfen. Die wissen gar nicht mehr, was tun. Ein „Führungsvakuum“. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My first video game console! Such fond memories.

Haha, hat doch jemand den Text gelesen. 😀 (Und wie weit weg sich das jetzt schon alles anfühlt.)

Got it. Don't use "Rotation/Scaling" from the character's format but "Text orientation" from the table's properties. D'oh!

Anyone got a tip for rotating text in the top row of a table in #LibreOffice Writer by 90° (for vertical table header) without crashing the whole damn thing? (Version 26.2.1.2 AARCH64)
