There’s another treatment on the horizon though that grows entirely new teeth. There’s an article with a pic of a ferret showing an entirely new tooth that was grown. I think it’s a research group in Japan that managed it?

These techs together mean some pretty exciting things coming in a decade or two for shitty teeth when the technologies mature.

And they’re all grey.

My friend had a grey SUV that for the life of me I could not find in a parking lot. So many gray SUVs that all look the same…

I hate the vehicle color trend of Depression Grey. And blue. And mold green.

I admit I only know what a Stigmata is because the commercial with the guy with the bleeding hands was cool. Killer ad campaign to release them on Halloween too!

I’ve tried so many times to switch to LibreOffice, but as far as I can tell it’s just not made for novelists. It regularly shits itself when dealing with a 300k manuscript that Word has never given me problems with.

I genuinely tried using it for a full year, using it on Linux even, to see if it was just me being cranky about changes to my writing routine…and maybe it’s still just me, but I eventually went back to Windows and my old copy of Microsoft Word 2010.

As far as I can tell, using Libre Office (or Open Office) as an actual writer seems to be a niche enough use case that developers don’t fix some of the issues that crop up that are specific to the needs of a novelist. It also gets laggy and unreliable for long word counts.

But if you need to make a basic sign to be printed out, or letters, or use it for short things like so many people use Word for in an office setting, it probably is ok.

I just had trouble with it behaving poorly with my long-format works in ways that MS Word never crapped out on me for.
