Grant me the (Saskatchewan pirate?) strength to not throw my laptop out the fucking window as I try to write parts of the text for the American Astronomical Society's response to SpaceX's infuriating, arrogant, ignorant, irresponsible non-response.

"The numbers from B.C.’s Ministry of Health show 89 doctors, 42 nurse practitioners, 260 nurses and 23 allied health professionals from the U.S. accepted jobs in the province between March 2025 and January 2026."...
"Even if half [of the 89 physicians] are family doctors, and they attach a full panel of patients, that’s more than 50,000 British Columbians who will have access to primary care. And that’s just huge." "

"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next. There are people in tech who want to do good, but they’re consistently outvoted or stampeded by selfish hucksters and thieves."

"LibreOffice Writer can open documents in almost any word processor file format, and save back into almost any other. As of late last month, this includes Markdown. Specifically, LibreOffice 26.2 supports the version called CommonMark."

"As we have said before, even if you're perfectly happy with MS Office, it's worth having LibreOffice installed just in case. In this vulture's fairly extensive experience, it's a lot better at opening corrupted Office files than Office itself. You can try to open a damaged file that crashes the Microsoft apps, and there's a good chance that LibreOffice will open it, even if with some warnings, and let you recover some or all of your data and save it in a fresh, undamaged file. This can be a life-saver – or at least an employment-saver – in a crisis. Now the latest LibreOffice 26.2.1 can also turn a Word document into clean simple Markdown – or turn Markdown into a clean, formatted Word document – in just a couple of clicks."
