(As part of a very after-school-special sort of storyline, true, but it was still a bit of a double-take to see, like, PG-13 Euphoria dropped into a comic so heavily nerded-out that its main character was the mascot for Mathematica.)

Awesome! If you want to use custom styling across various projects, you can save it as part of a template: help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US...

Pulling in styles from a template may be a faster fix for the Outline level if that issue comes up again: help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US...

If you do that for all of the lower-level Headings, then they'll still appear as Heading N in the Style drop-down, but the Navigator will just display the top-level Headings 1:

Posted as I was screenshotting - if you F11 the Styles menu, RClick "Edit Style" on, say, Heading 2, and then select "Outline level: [None]" from the Outline & List tab, that Heading will vanish from the Navigator. (Setting "Outline level: Level N" for Heading N should restore it.)]:

I had to manually expand each level of Heading to view the full hierarchy:

It might be automatically collapsing them - when I reopened a test document, I saw this:

In (24.2.7.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community), the first time I opened the Navigator view it looked like your screenshot. I had to go to the corner of the Navigator pane and manually expand it in order to see the contents; after that it would pop up in a usable sizing even after reopening Writer.

Or - not only does Home Assistant assert that the Sun HAS a "Manufacturer", it claims that this entity is unknown which, I would argue, is a rather bold assertion both epistemologically and ontologically, and sure to provoke debate.

I do wish they'd put in 53% or something for "Battery", though.

While not nearly as well known as the Gestapo, the Orpo - or Ordnungspolizei, better known as the "Order Police" - were nevertheless a key component of the Reich-ification of the German government and what followed...

Seasons 1-3 of seaQuest DSV / seaQuest 2032 map surprisingly neatly onto the first three Star Trek series, albeit slightly out-of-order - The Next Generation, The Original Series, and Deep Space 9, respectively. Even down to the destruction of the ship in TNG and O'Brien and Worf showing up in DS9.

Cheers to the buffalo for a fair dinkum W!

As a general rule, my opposition to any given blood sport scales inversely with the likelihood of the animal(s) involved winning (there are, of course, many other factors).

"I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist." - "A Primer on the '30s." Esquire (June 1960)

Basically, poor people who view themselves & vote as if they ARE rich, because by gum, they're GONNA be rich. Any day now...

In "A Short History of Progress" (2004), Ronald Wright wrote that: "John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." It's likely a paraphrase of an actual Steinbeck quote:
