Did you use Ctrl + Shift + Esc to directly open Task Manager? If so, you may get different results with Ctrl + Alt + Del and choosing it from the manager. C/S/E asks for the manager, C/A/D demands it. I can’t promise the game won’t still override it but a fun fact either way

Open task manager
Top bar, Options, click Always on Top

Sounds like excel is still doing what it has done for a while. Even though windows can finally (again) treat excel instances separately in the task bar, clicking one brings up the single excel window containing all excel files open. So if I open a 2nd excel file, then x it out, the 1st file is on top now. This doesn’t bug me when it’s the browser or Adobe because those at least clearly present as tabbed items and, more importantly, can be broken out to different windows
- Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire? 11 months ago:
so an engine can lift a car
Force = pressure x area
It’s not that big of a feat. Using the very low estimate of 2.5psi from another comment about exhaust pressure, that means it can sustain 2.5 pounds(force) per square inch. To lift half a 5000lb suv the force needed would be 2500lbs. Rearrange the equation to [area = force/pressure] and it becomes [area = 2500lbs/2.5 lbs per square inch] so 1,000 square inches. Divide by 144square inches per square foot (12x12) and you get 6.94 square feet gives you 2500lbs of force from 2.5psi. Then to find that area from a circle, divide by pi and square root the result (rearranging area=pi*r^2 ) and you find that 2.5psi will lift the side of an SUV with a little less than a 3 foot diameter circle. That’s about the size of the lift bags I’ve seen.
And all that while I’m thinking 2.5psi sounds low. Regardless, I doubt an exhaust system would handle anything close to tire pressure before popping off fittings. Plus mufflers have weep holes and fittings tend to leak anyway. They rely on the direction and speed of exhaust gas a fair amount.

Factor error: 33psi is about a typical car tire pressure. Race bicycles are like 120. Please keep 330 away from rubber
- Comment on Peter Griffin and Solid Snake are coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 amid leaks 11 months ago:
Do you wear jewelry? Do you have a nice watch that tells time just as well as a casio? Does your car feature upgraded wheels or upcharged paint? Have you paid more for fancy curtains when basic ones do the same job? Have you repainted a room just because you wanted a different color? Video game cosmetics are valuable to anyone who wants to express themselves the same as any other real life cosmetic. It can be especially important to young people who don’t have other avenues.
That being said, fortnite is predatory as fuck and is one of the worst offenders for addictive design, FOMO engineering, and maximizing DLC purchases. It’s what the annual sports games wish they could do. It’s what CoD started to do. It’s fueled by social media and by glimpses of random players in each match with the latest skins.
- Comment on I have no access to a home printer, will a library or FedExOffice or UPS Store let me print via Bluetooth? 11 months ago:
Is this in a web browser? Special app? What do they expect you to press on your phone to get it to print? There should be an option to pick pdf as a destination “device” or share>save as pdf. I have android and have made pdfs
- Comment on YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button 11 months ago:
Pixel 7 and up got rid of the back button and made it so you can just pull from either side. I swipe “back” way too often when I miss tiny sliders. The option to use a regular set of bottom buttons makes them as ugly as possible, too, permanently taking up space in a solid white bar. Such ui shit
- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 11 months ago:
Subsequent playthroughs of Ace Combat 4, knowing the full story of Yellow 13 and 4 with the Spanish guitar accompaniment (even though blah blah war crimes etc). I guess because I know I did it while jamming to rock ballads with qaam spam. Mihaly of AC7 was such a weak arc by comparison.
Assassin’s Creed Unity in the post-Templar part, my 3rd experience with Ubisoft avoiding happy endings but my first Assassins creed
