Fun story, it's called office 365 as when you see the price you'll turn 365 degrees and walk away.

Ok that doesn't really work but God I love that stupid joke.

Anyway I haven't used office personally for ages and never seem to run into real compatibility issues with the meager personal/business overlap in my situation.

It made me chuckle a little imaging that you do a full 365 degree spin Infront of Microsoft and then walk away (in an awkward way), instead of 180 degrees to walk the opposite direction haha

Technically speaking with 365* of rotation if you are far enough away you will be able to walk past microsoft, so this is possible.

Because of the Earth's curvature you mean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No not the curvature. For every one degree off you are of a target at 60 miles away you will miss your target by one mile. So if you were 60 miles from your target and you rotated 365, you would miss it by 5 miles. Hence you could spin 365 and miss it, if you were far enough away.

365 spin, then realizing your mistake and awkwardly walking backwards out of the room

At the right distance it's just enough pivot to give them a spiteful shoulder check on the way out.
