  • I work in municipal government.

    Microsoft does have a separate government- specific subscription with slightly different features, and that may be part of it.

    The most annoying part of the government system is that it only allows one MS account to be logged in on a mobile device, so for people with accounts in multiple municipalities (e.g. county officials needing access to permitting data from several cities), they need a different device for each system.


  • I’ve never run across any of that. There must be some implementation issue that affects some companies and not others, because the 2 places I’ve worked since Teams took over everything have been flawless on all of that (except for Linux- and I really don’t care about that from a business perspective where everyone is going to use Windows).


  • At my office, it works flawlessly for what we use it for, which is video conferences and chat. We don’t mess with the workspaces and stuff.

    The only thing I truly hate about it is that you can’t export a log of a chat. As a government worker, I’m waiting for the lawsuit over Open Records over the lack of that feature.








  • Private parking tickets aren’t generally enforceable in a court, but they can choose to tow or boot your vehicle if you park somewhere ride under their control.

    I work at a university, and while the parking services department can’t give you a real ticket enforceable by the court, they can withhold student records, diplomas, etc or withhold registration.

    But tickets handed out by University police are different, since they’re actually police and not parking attendants.







  • Is the poop something that has to be done in-person?

    Does it have to be assigned to an individual, or can you decide that everybody who uses the word ‘rizz’ regularly will now poop?

    Or is it like Death Note where you have to have a specific person in mind? I would totally be down to be the Kira of pants-shitting. I’d be the God of a stinky new world.

    Problem is that in the US I’m fairly certain our leaders are already forced to wear diapers. The President who was elected 32 years ago is younger than the President who was elected 2 months ago.



  • So there’s a comfort-food staple at my house that’s distressingly close to this, but sounds even worse.

    It’s 1 can cream of mushroom, one can cream of chicken, one can of green peas, and one can of tuna heated in a skillet. That unholy mixture is then stacked on tops of layers of toast and seasoned with lemon pepper.

    It looks like the kind of food that would attack Calvin in the old comics, but my family loves it. I’m not sure how good it actually is, or if it’s just the comfort food from when we were really poor and that was a feast for us.
