Challenge #00710 - A345: Vicious Competition

MongoCorp runs across a rival business concern…AzTech.

Despite the near meteoric rise of MongoCorp Consolidated Business Concern, there was a rival in the South Americas. AzTech Incorporated.

Dear makers of Pages for Apple...

WHY?

Why did you remove the functionality that enables writers like me to replace text with invisibles?

Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the arse it is to go through 350-odd pages looking for single asterisks and then MANUALLY REPLACE THEM with page breaks?

DO YOU?

Sincerely, one writer who is almost out of hir flipping mind.

The 10 Phrases I’ve Stopped Saying And The People Who Appreciate Me For It (via Upworthy)

In Sydney and taking public transport? Here's how you can help.

thechauvinist:

If you are taking public transport tonight, please go on Twitter and post your bus, train or ferry with the hashtag #illridewithyou. If someone needs an ally, you can be there to help them

T’reka is regaled by tales of the Emu War…by smarter-than-expected emus.

[AN: This has to be a descendant of the original T'reka the Inquisitive]

She had found them fascinating on her trip to the famously dangerous Australia of Earth. And they found her fascinating, too.

When she discovered that they had a language… That was the most interesting thing to cause T'reka the Questioner to extend her stay.

Central-Australian Emus were intelligent.

“Ah nah, we’re not
