Easy to follow guide for admins to increase the number of poll options. Even simpler once you upgrade to 4.3.
What's the best way to say thanks to @stefan for writing this up? (I would have added more options, but M.S. doesn't allow it...)

Another one bites the dust: Microsoft buries WordPad, but there is an afterlife
like this
They have to kill it. Otherwise, some "cheapskate" might decide they don't need to pay for MS Word, or get spied on by having all their data in the cloud using MS Office Online.
Or they just think there's no reason to keep it around.
I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.
Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways...

It's so evil that some politicians are trying to push forward with a mask ban in New York. NYC was one of the places hardest hit at the start of the pandemic, and COVID is still causing harm. A mask ban puts the health of all New Yorkers at greater risk.

"After a climate crisis, like a wildfire or a hurricane, the wealthy GOP carpetbagger arrives to pick off the remaining flesh from working & middle class home owners.
Using taxpayer dollars."

Saw a youtuber tour through his destroyed Florida neighbourhood just last week. Most houses totalled. He said most houses got totalled last year in a hurricane, got remodeled, got put on the market. No one has bought them, now the remaining people there has just finished clearing out all their belongings, big piles along the sidewalks, and they'll get hit again thursday. The youtuber said if you wanted to sell now you'd get basically lot value. Personally, I think the lot value is zero. I'm sure there are some ghouls trying to profit off of this but I can't imagine they'd be very successful at it. Ok you buy someones condemned home for pennies. Now what? Gonna flip it? Bask in that glorious land value of a lot permanently submerged in a decade? I fail to see the business model here, I guess that won't stop people from trying.

These climate disaster carpetbaggers aren't buying up these properties to build homes for regular people.
The properties are bought cheap & often converted into seaside estates for the ultra-wealthy.
They basically turn neighborhoods of working & middle class homes into Bel Air, Vale, and other "little rhodesia" white enclaves.

After a climate event, property insurers red circle the hardest hit areas & refuse to provide property insurance.

Anyone with a mortgage has to sell because property insurance is a prerequisite for their loan.

FYI, the fossil fuel industry has been on a decades-long mergers & acquisitions binge on property insurers.
It's a near monopoly market of captive insurers now.
Secondly, it's the government subsidies from hurricane relief funding that the real estate vultures are really going after.

In a few weeks, Speaker Mike Johnson will suddenly start talking about disaster relief after the first tranche of home owners are forced to abandon their homes.
Republican real estate donors like Geoffrey Palmer, Schwarzman, & Harlan Crow will rejoice. Again.
Eh, not really. Anyone can tell otherwise. There are plenty of charities that operate under capitalism. There are plenty of businesses that are capitalist and could expand but do not. Tell me; are the owners of chik-fil-a capitalist? If they're so greedy, why do they refuse to open on Sundays?

Speed will be of the essence as salvage crews attempt to stop fuel leaking from the sunken New Zealand naval ship off the coast of Samoa.The HMNZS Manawanui ran aground last weekend on a reef about one nautical mile off the south coast of Upolu, Samoa’s most populated island. The specialist dive and hydrographic vessel was on its third deployment, conducting a reef survey, when it caught fire and sank.
The ship has come to rest at a depth of up to 150 metres, which means it may be relatively undisturbed even during storms. Any hull cracks from the impact should not be exacerbated.
But depth makes the salvage operation challenging. Crew may need decompression chambers, and there’s only a narrow window of time to seal any fuel leaks – and, ideally, pipe out more than 900 tonnes of marine diesel the ship carries.
