Yeah whatever surface it’s on, it’s slightly elevated. It’s a big bird but there’s some optical illusion going on.

She’s rocking it.
I’m a tall guy and when I was single I would joke about that with tall ladies and say if we went out you could wear whatever heels you want. It’s cheesy but 3 for 3.
- Comment on Meta spent $4.3 billion on its VR division in three months, and made *checks figures* $440 million in return 2 months ago:
Think about it liner term… All the people struggling at the bottom now have secure housing. More money is free for nutrition, hygiene, they can get better jobs or afford schooling… Trades or higher education. More people have a chance to escape poverty and contribute production, get more money to spend, more money gets out into local economies. So and so forth. It’s a good idea.

- Comment on He's got a point 2 months ago:
I’m not a programmer by trade but I learned some python and VBA to automate some of the things I do every day. Any time you’re doing some manual shit and think “there’s gotta be a better way” there probably is - just Google how to do that one thing and you’ll build up your knowledge over time.
It’s up to you to decide if you tell your boss or not. I chose to and took on some extra duties along with extra pay so it worked out for me but it’s a small business with a high value on productivity.

Good God please use xlookup. We have some old school people that still use vlookup and refuse to convert their ranges to tables, it drives me crazy.
I still use index/match for multiple lookup returns (or is it sumifs I can’t remember?) But I do a lot of work in BI and it’s much more intuitive for me in DAX/M.

I just watched a video about Utah and apparently Mormons are pretty tolerant of just about everyone and even though it’s a red state they’re pretty progressive on social issues.
Take with a grain of salt, my source is a YouTube video.

It’s always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.

- Comment on [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life 2 months ago:
Yep. Anyone reading this that was planning on driving home right after - do yourself a favor and find a place nearby to stay the night.
Last time my 4 hour drive out was 17 hours back home. Gas stations out of gas, no bathrooms, bumper to bumper the whole way.

Not feedback, it’s just an odd comparison.
- Comment on Nerding out in group is fun tho 3 months ago:
I just spent my afternoon doing volume calculations… each unit is 3 oz, I need 300 units, 900 oz, but I can only buy in 1 gallon which is 128 oz, etc. For this one, each unit is 10g and 600 of those, I can buy in 1.25 lb or 2.6 lb let’s convert that and see what the cost per gram is and go with the cheaper, okay I can buy in 1180g how much do I need again?
Repeat that 57 times and you too can have a job in supply chain.
