Time to renegotiate the payment and other employment conditions.

Hey, Donald, projecting again?

I can offer something in between: Clickspring. He started re-making the Antikyera (SP?) mechanism, was criticized for using modern tools for this, and then started developing and using tools basically from scratch like the people in Greece could have made and used them.

And Israel and Iran simultaneously say: “We did what!?!?”

If they don’t want to be compared to the GeStaPo, have they tried not to behave like the GeStaPo did?

A lot of LEGO bricks for my models.

“Trump says”. He says a lot, and a lot if it is total bullshit. I believe it when I see it.

“Employ”

I expect someone in a position of this power and responsibility to bring a certain amount of experience. At least the experience to know when to stop and ask the experts. I don’t believe someone who has never ever worked even close to such a job to be qualified to do this.

This has nothing to do with his selection of jobs, but with what he had not done in the past. It does not matter if he was a bricklayer, car salesman, or primary school teacher. It does matter that he never worked in law enforcement, defence, intelligence, or similar.

He is not strong. It is all a show to him.

Nope. Exploding a nuclear bomb/warhead is a complicated and fickely thing. Everything must happen in the right speed and order, or it will be a dud. It will be a radioactive thing, yes, and might spread some seriously bad stuff around, but thats “just” some radioactive stuff in a few ten meters radius instead of blowing up a city.

FTFY: the president’s decision to strike was not driven by any new U.S. intelligence on Iran.

To the surprize of absolutely no one, maybe exept the US government.

May they tear up each other in court.

Yes, this works with most stickers, but there are some tough bastards that even resist that.

The problem lies in the PDFs themselves. In there are objects that represent lines of glyphs. If you are lucky. A conversion tool can guess which of those lines belong together and produce the text.

It cannot know any intentions behind it, though. Take a numbered list. The first line is two line objects: the number plus the . or the ), and the first line of text. The conversion tool can now guess. As the line blocks with the numbers are all left of the line blocks with text, this could be a numbered list. Or it could be a table with two columns. Nothing in the PDF is giving any hints.

And that is the easy part. This assumes that the document either uses default fonts, or keeps its embedded fonts untouched. If they use embedded fonts and a PDF optimizer that only embeds the used characters and renumbers them, any copy or conversion tool is bound to fail.

Same with protected PDFs where you simply cannot copy the text from the start.

And then there are PDFs that just consist of scanned pages. Here you would need an OCR software to get something readable out of them.

PDF is an archival, output format, the end of a process. Not something to work from.

Always preserve the original file. Keep it safe. If you change tools, make sure you have a conversion path into something editable. The PDF is for giving away, nothing else.
