Jesus. I can from time to time, I used to be a regular on /r/canning. The attention to detail re food safety was one of the best things about the sub, as you really can kill yourself and others if you piss about.

I mean, I'd never use Notepad. Download Notepad++, it's better in literally every way.

Doesn't have formatting, unless Notepad has got really adventurous at some point in the last decade or two.

Slightly annoyed about this, as I do use Wordpad (it's lightweight and useful for quick notes that I want to mark up with bold and italic). I don't always want to watch Word or Libreoffice load for twenty to thirty seconds.

Shitty decision, happy to be Wordpad's one fan.

So are Irish conditions different from conditions over the sea in Wales, or...?

...for entertainment. For fun.

I don't think many of us would come here if it wasn't fun.

Wasn't the issue with this one that money was changing hands in exchange for a printed, physical book? Like, I know the team wasn't making money, but it's understood in fanfic circles that this is a Bad Idea and this was a very high profile (and, sadly, professional-looking) project.

The work is now on AO3 alongside countless other Star Trek fanfics that exist with no trouble. If they'd done that all along, I suspect there would never have been an issue.

Linehan being attached to something isn't a plus these days...

I feel bad for thinking this headline has everything.

No, no it isn't.

Populist really just means telling people what they want to hear. Bernie and Trump are both populists, they just have (largely) very different audiences.
