We'll take a second moon, cut it in half, and use it as a shield for the first moon

I see it as a stand-in for the inflection people sometimes make irl when seeking affirmation for what they're saying. Imo, it's not bad as a way to add tone or subtext ("I get this might be an unpopular opinion; what do you think?"), but it is not grammatically correct in a professional email

If I could carry around a Limmings History Buff Fellowship member card with qr code links to sites like these, it'd be just handy dandy for the torturing-friends-and-family part.

Even moreso important to ctrl+s in case you trust autosave too much then it corrupts a file that closes too soon
looking at you ms publisher that one day the other week

I use Netguard to block internet access for half of my apps - the ones that shouldn't be using my mobile data anyway

Ah, yes, when a man takes inspiration from insect-collecting in his childhood, he becomes the world's first child psychologist in directing and developing video games

Edit to clarify: you kept making downvoted assumptions in this thread about an existing source on Pokemon creators having targeted the young boys audience. It's only natural to think you could be misremembering all the articles that came out about Satoshi Tajiri's inspiration for the OG games coming from bug collecting as a young boy.

So this reminds of this book I read called The Circle, in which everyone's fascination with technology and tracking and data collecting slippery-sloped at breakneck speed into 1984, except any stranger with an internet connection became your Big Brother.

We have many other environmental ways to encourage people to drive slower, like narrower lanes, or those long thin rumble-strip-style speed bumps, or landscaping with greenery.

BTW, why is it so hard to get information off google on traffic calming studies for freeways? Everything is about urban or suburban areas, smh. When I use "freeways" in quotes, suddenly I get a whole bunch of irrelevant results about people trying to get over their fear of driving on the freeway. Wtf google.

Thanks. Now I could easily see the havoc one troll with a sign can do with over-regulating like this.

I definitely feel like saying it again - it works! Thank you. For sure, I can modify the if statement for what I'm working with. Thank you so much!

To clarify the first, yes to your example, I think so. I'm trying to optimize my scanning process, so, optimally, yes, I would only record all A numeric values in one go, and not come back to them again for the rest of the list. Good question; I never thought about this as a complication. So, I have shelves among shelves with a strict naming convention and containers with a different naming convention. I'm figuring out how to help me and my family be lazier and just capture the shelf name, then all the stuff there, then move on to the next place.

To clarify the second concern, yeah, I meant to make the comma denote two separate cells. I'm not sure how to make a table on lemmy through the Boost app.

Thanks for checking. I asked ChatGPT3.5 to make a solution with excel since I have limited access to it at work. CG came up with making my data a table with Power Query & using a Fill tool, but Fill>Down isn't doing what CG is saying it's supposed to do.

I hope I could do this at home though because I only have Onlyoffice & Libreoffice, & excel in the browser is so limited.

Thank you for the archive .org one. I hadn't seen a direct response to the old reddit post, and the archive .org post really broke it down for me

This is the post that convinced me way back when. It's been a while; I couldn't find yet if the egs software has changed since. https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/wakewr/epic_games_spyware_vs_steam_vs_as_comparision_ea/

I'm just thinking why someone would want to get a tattoo on that side of their arm

I'm kinda glad you mentioned it - https://discord.com/invite/the-arcade-147086422006824962 I'd say the community is pretty thriving for its size.

Grey Havens keeps the servers running while there are still people supporting the game.

Same. YNAB is more focused on where you assign/shift tasks for your money to do rather than just tracking where all my money's gone. It's envelope budgeting with an app to me, and I'm way more conscious now of whether I can afford things or not.

The only thing I miss about classic YNAB is having a local desktop copy of my data, even when I had to sync through dropbox.

Edit: was considering linking the subreddit, but just found we have a decent lemmy instance: https://lemmy.world/c/ynab

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe common core refers to the core standards of knowledge & skills that the government requires in public education.
