We were scared that this is what happened to our place, but I think their new bigger space is an upgrade in many ways.
I just worry people will think they are gone. They aren't. They have lots of bikes. They want your donations. They do repair classes.
Their used bikes are the best I've ever used. Top quality work.
I can't blame microsoft when google docs is just as bad.
You need to use their "apps script" to do a mail merge OR install one of the add-ons made by third parties which means giving up a LOT of privacy to ... someone.
I wrote some app script to avoid exposing my students grades and names to ... just anyone.
To me mail merge is an obvious core feature of "office software" So why is it still so obscure and hard to do? Where is the "progress?"
My husband has been going to "Recycle a Bicycle" for years. This week he donated a bunch of bike stuff and found out that they have a new location in Brooklyn.
The new location is harder to get to but much larger and it's full of used bikes. Their website makes it look like they only have a few bikes. I think they just don't update it all the time.
I kind of wish I was in the market for a new bike. You need to go in person.

Like being a care bear or ... a my little pony or something ...
Well here is the other version LOL
Well I'm not changing it again LMAO.

(made it color)
(fixed the name to say "Ever Given" ... "evergreen" is a shipping company with many ships.)

I know this is a comment on how saying "don't be sad" isn't doing very much... but I just see a bulldozer trying their best to comfort the sad ship and it's the sweetest thing ever... I... I'm so happy for them both.
The bulldozer is doing their best to help.
Let's say you have a spreadsheet with names and addresses and billing amounts for a bunch of people and you want personalized letters for each one with their names and the price printed nice and pretty mixed in with other text.
It was a fun job. Although my boss was always smoking and had a lot of shady "friends."
He was always yelling "Where is that computer girl?"
Because I'd get whatever he wanted done and go back in the stock room and read for hours.
It's 2026. No one can figure out how to do a mail merge.
This was in Ohio, maybe we ordered from ya'll LOL.
Oh they tried that. It was a disaster. Good lort.
Career advice: learn to do a mail merge and find someone who will be dependent on you for life.
The end.
Anyway today I did a mail merge (in google docs) and someone was very impressed. More impressed than by the Apache server that I set up... that just makes my soul cry.
It's not any easier. In some ways it's worse now.
Computers, I tell ya.
I had a job when I was in HS working in an office of a importer and exporter of cigars and the guy who ran the company thought I was a computer genius with rare super powers because I knew how to set up a mail merge in word and excel to make his invoices and letters for his customers.
It was a little tricky back then. But really just read the directions and follow them. I thought "some day computers will be so easy to use everyone will be able to do this"
Yeah. That didn't happen.
Maybe there is wheel in the basement where you can spin it around and they just forgot to put it true before they left.
