I learned how to do a fucking LOT of statistical shit in my degree. I also learned to get REALLY good at all kinds of shit in Excel.

Guess which helped my career on an actual practical way the most? Guess which made people seek me out at work for help with things?

Sometimes Excel is what’s available. Sometimes it’s just faster to do it that way rather than code up some ridiculously overdone solution in some programming language. Having both skills is best, but don’t shit on opening an excel and just fucking getting it done, whatever it is.

If used right, it can also be a great equalizer with those less technically skilled in your workplace. You can quickly format and tune things and even layer a little bit of vba to make their lives easier without having to get into the complexity of an entire bespoke coded solution.

Also, a reminder for those in the back. For most of us, we aren’t in college to learn a specific skill so much as we are there to learn how to be taught. To prove we are capable of taking instructions and producing results as requested.

If you never understand this, then you’ll never understand later why you fail to land a high quality job.

So apparently if you aren’t a fucking scientist, then dick pics are okay to send to you.

The “type” of people shouldn’t fucking matter.

Thought I’d read bazzite was forked from something no longer updating and they were possibly going to end it?

You criticize their “material” by yourself regurgitating tired slop from decades past?

The government fights this hard over labor’s lost wages too, right?

I’d long been mulling over what distro to switch my family computer to soon. But after years with Steam Deck and digging through so many suggestions for months, I really think I’m just going with SteamOS. Good enough.

Hollywood truly is out of ideas and just outsourcing.

Wait for something fucking idiotic like:

“U.S. government to implement 5,000% tax on new solar technology…”

You’re being disingenuous. I think what OP is getting at might be both that cops are never in the wrong, and that the guilty is always clear.

At this point, I’m tired of glorification of police. They get it wrong. A fucking lot.

There’s a good reason Brooklyn 99 ended. At least that had the balls to do it.

My narcissistic, selfish, and abusive parents abused things like “because I said so,” “you’ll understand when you’re older,” and “you’ll understand when you have kids” among other things.

I now understand. They were shitheads that never wanted to actually explain things or be held accountable for their fucking abuse. I understand that it literally took EFFORT for them to be so goddamn angry and verbally/physically abusive to us, and it takes a serious level of hate to sprinkle in the emotional neglect and somehow be okay with treating your child like that.

I can’t fathom doing half the shit they did.

It could just be a bad joke.

Strawberry is super confusing with playlists. Out of caution, I have learned to save Playlists multiple times to a file and try to close them all before opening/playing new stuff.

Too many times I’ve experienced selecting something new to play not only replace the currently playing, but replaces the Playlist, and it seems to overwrite it immediately.

Jurassic Sith

That’s what they wanted. Small government. Bootstrap. All that. Feds have been widely lambasted, shit on, gutted for resources, and now those left operate in a constant state of fear and worry just trying to do a decent job for this so-called society.

Get fucked.

Edit: see the comment below pointing out precisely what I’m getting at. This county asked for it and its unsurprising.

It never was by the people or for the people.

If you spend more time to consider and think about the differences between spirituality and religion, you’d see what I’m getting at. There’s a blurring of lines sure, but a lot of these religious activities are not at all necessary for their beliefs, and merely a choice that fulfills them in a similar manner as other hobbies.

I dunno what counts as big budget, but 30 Minutes or Less was seen as tasteless in how it was based on a real-life serious event that had occurred.

On a false advertising note, the movie’s run time is 1 hour, 23 minutes. Bullshit.

They won’t. Establishment Dems want this as well. Repubs are doing it for them, and then any elected Dem then would likely be more of the watered down same, and they’ll quietly allow the status quo to continue.

Maybe they’ll stop the gutting. Maybe they’ll slim down some high profile things like ICE a bit. But largely they won’t ramp up hiring to return to any previous scale.

Also FYI, the last time the US Federal government lost employees on this scale was under Clinton in the 90s working bipartisan with a Repub congress.

You don’t levee children…

Why didn’t they turn down the Sun first?
