Surprising New Primary Challenger

That's not that surprising. I was hoping it was like a golden retriever or something.

What do you mean "spit out"? Is it being put into a new open workbook, an existing open workbook, or is it being saved as a file?

And I don't mean to suggest I know better than the person actually dealing with the situation (I hate when people do that), but if you can do it manually, it can be automated.

There is definitely a way to automate that process. Even if you can't somehow sanitize the input before Excel reads it as dates, unfucking the data can definitely be reduced to a single button-push. I've based my entire career on my ability to do that.

Sure. I prefer reading books on an e-ink screen as well. But that's for books, not a game genre that peaked 45 years ago.

I just can't see a product like this having enough demand. Hopefully they find a way to make it work, because I totally get wanting to own a specialized object like this.

I don't see it, but if you say so.

Couldn't you just develop these games on phones/tablets, with full color and a keyboard?

I don't get it. They should cater specifically to people who have seen other Captain America movies but haven't seen (or don't remember) Endgame? What an arbitrarily narrow demographic.

The point is that being a super soldier isn't really the thing that made Steve Rogers special. Bucky couldn't lead the Avengers. Sam could.

I fully appreciate what you're saying, and I'm not even saying I disagree. But most people still won't support it.

There have been polls. He has a lot of support, but it's definitely not more than half.

Regardless of their feelings on the rich, I think you'll find that most people aren't ok with the murder.

I don't think Ayn Rand would have supported this bullshit. The talentless "businessmen" who wear the trappings of wealth but produce nothing were always the villains in her books. Plus she was vehemently anti-theocracy.

I think I just learned how to understand my wife a little better.

Reminds me of an adult video I saw a while ago that completely changed how I view pornography.

It was a perfectly normal video of a perfectly normal woman doing a perfectly normal thing. The title of the video was descriptive of the action, and then in parentheses it said, "(NO FARTS)".

And I'm like... I wasn't even aware I had a preference either way, but now I definitely do.

Ugh.

Which four?

The Williams sisters are obvious.

Kournikova, Strug, Kerrigan, and Harding I know just from having grown up in America in the 90s. They were all very famous for very, very different reasons.

Clark is super famous right now, as is Biles. Biles is more famous by me because she's from my home city. Ledecky I know because my family follows Olympic swimming. Kwan's name just stuck in my brain for some reason.

If I had to think of an eleventh athlete, it'd take me a while. There's another gymnast I could come up with, I'm sure. That really old one.

If we count retired athletes and Olympic sports then I can just barely get there:

• Venus Williams
• Serena Williams
• Anna Kournikova
• Kerri Strug
• Nancy Kerrigan
• Tonya Harding
• Michele Kwan
• Simone Biles
• Katie Ledecky
• Caitlin Clark

So now I get to talk about trans women in sports!

Um... yeah. I don't know. Whatever the solution is, I think it should be handled with empathy and respect for trans rights.

While we're at it, the abortion debate should be settled by people who can actually get abortions.

No good. They might think of Venus and Serena Williams.

10 is safer to make the point.

Trump is a textbook fascist.

• Racist
• Nationalist
• Populist
• Authoritarian

What more do you need?
