  1. I'm not one for telling others that their preferred cuppa is WRONG!! but yeah, don't make me a 6 or I will be very disappointed in you as a person. I might even.. gasp! ... not drink it.
  2. I can drink tea without milk, but it needs to be brewed for a shorter length of time than normal.
  3. 2.5 6 just makes me feel a bit sick. They are all too full, though.
  4. It performed exactly like some of my efforts in Kerbal Space Program.
  5. Share the Apps Script project with the other user (i.e. the user that you want the emails to be sent from). Open the project as that user. Set up the required triggers. The relevant functions will then exectute as that user, and so emails sent programmatically by those functions will be sent from that account. You can then remove any triggers that you've got set up uder your named account. It's a good idea to use generic accounts for these kinds of automations, as things are then less likely to break as personnel come and go. That may also mean that the associated Sheets are owned by those generic accounts, or stored in a suitably permissioned Shared Drive.
  6. I think the the psychic phase being dropped was rumoured quite early on, so I'm glad to see it go. It was a dead part of the game when playing as AdMech, for instance, since there are no psychic units at all. I guess the command phase is there to accomodate any miscellaneous business such as warpy fireballs drifting about the table, etc.
  7. I know that the genestealers I painted recently have bases which are a bit too small. They topple easily and just look a bit off by today's standards. I would fully expect new genestealer models (if they appear) to have wider bases, in line with similar 'elite' role units from other ranges.
  8. For the termagants, might that be more of a 40k thing to tune how many models can be ultimately get into base-to-base contact (if that's still a thing in 40k), or at least how densely models can be placed into a particular area for fighting or securing objectives? Smaller bases confers an advantage for a swarm-style unit like termagants, so increasing their base size might be just as much about dialling down that power. That only really makes sense if the earlier models are going to have a different datacard, like with tactical vs primaris marines.
  9. FreshDesk will solve your problem with the forwarded tickets. If you forward an email to the helpdesk, the ticket will be raised under the original sender's name, not the forwarder. That was a massive annoyance for us as well, but loved having that problem solved after we switched from osTicket to FreshDesk. Nice to not have to maintain our own helpdesk server, too. FreshDesk has a range of paid tiers, but the free tier may well be sufficient for your needs.
  10. I seem to remember seeing a [long] YouTube video a few years ago of someone burning their entire High Elves army in 'protest' at GW scrapping Fantasy and starting up with AoS. Something like 25k pts.
  11. I heard you liked an early warning about Ofsted early warning, so I put an early warning on the article about Ofsted early warning, so that you can be warned early about being asked about being warned early. Edit: yeahh, I'm not that up to date on cultural references.
  12. Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $true} -properties AccountExpirationDate | Where-Object{$_.AccountExpirationDate -lt (Get-Date) -and $_.AccountExpirationDate -ne $null} | select-object SamAccountName, AccountExpirationDate N.b. that might be totally suboptimal, but I believe it will work.
  13. FYI, this was the thread I was thinking of. It wasn't so much discussion school deployments, though, but uBlock Origin is still a safe enough bet. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/internet-related-filtering-firewall/231502-what-ad-blocker-do-you-use.html
  14. There's a recent thread about ad/tracker blocker suggestions, and uBlock Origin would be the goto suggestion. I'm supposing that YouTube ads respond to trackers, etc. on devices as well as to the actual video being watched, so it's probably fairly impossible to vouch for advert content.
  15. This one looks amazing. It looks to have all the different mission control channels, not just capcom.
  16. For the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, I remember there being a site called wechoosethemoon which replayed mission audio back in real time. It was so immersive to have it on in the background for those few days, building up to the landing! After the actual anniversary though, you could only play back little highlights, which was not the same at all.
  17. In fairness, they might be offering those service hours to customers in different timezones around the world, such that they do actually have to operate 24/7. That's probably being rather too fair, though.
  18. My guess would be that it's governed by the age-based access settings. Admin > Account > Account settings > Age-based access settings > OU. Testing quickly here, store.google.com will result in for users in OUs where that settings is "Some or all users in this group or org unit are under 18", whereas the site is available when signed in as a user in an OU where it's set to "All users in this group or org unit are 18 or older".
  19. I think they need to go further. The Print Screen key should also automatically save the image as a reduced sized image embedded in a Word document.
  20. Reading about the new detachments rules, it feels like the launch freebie rules will be reasonably generic/vanilla for each faction, but the Codexes when they come will have maybe something like a dozen or so faction-specific and more flavourful detachments. So yes, the faction rules will fit on one double-page spread, but you'll end up with a bunch of double-page spreads to flick between and choose from prior to the game. It also means that if you don't know the opposing Codex inside out, you're still kinda in the dark as to what might be being thrown at you. I can imagine lots of rules supplement releases that have new, campaign-specific detachment rulesets included.
  21. There's a balance, isn't there. You want the house to present as being practical and not a "but where would we hang our coats?" situation, yet not cluttered. Flick through any house&home type magazines and you'll see Barbour jackets and Hunter wellies placed in hallways just so. RE: coping strategy. Trust that any annoyance caused is not intended. The warmer weather is coming and therefore the need to go upstairs for coats will lessen.
  22. There's also no points cost or power level on there, which would seem like a reasonable thing to expect for a system based more on cards than books. Perhaps the costs and unit sizes are specified on a separate list to help tailor the datacards nicely for the Combat Patrol game mode, where the unit sizes and costs are irrelevant.
  23. Yeah, I'm hoping that 'the app' and W+ don't become too central to the design of the game, because having that pushed at every turn will just grate. The simpler army selection stuff should make a 'good-enough' roster builder more achievable for them, though. Interesting that the datacards don't appear to have any model quantities stated on them for units.
  24. Agreed, the datacards sound like they're going to be the business, although I still suspect that Codices will be a thing (where would all the lore live, otherwise?), and that datacards will get updated whenever a Codex is released. Whether those updated datacards will remain free to download is not certain, but I suspect GW is following a more general trend in the market of rules being free online. In the games of 8th that I played, we tended to just use printouts from Battlescribe. All the rules you need for that game and none that you didn't. The layout was super basic, though, and I never got around to getting any plugins working that would have formatted it all in a nice GW-style design. I like your Excel work!
