You may not like it, but Excel has long been the tool of choice for people who should really use a database but already know how to use this nice hammer. COPILOT() was marketed as a tool where you could pull in a bunch of text fields and do crude sentiment analysis or summations on the individual fields, for example.

Idiots using a function without understanding what it actually does. Plenty of functions in Excel operate on text.

It has some reasonable use-cases when dealing with text, the problem is that it’s extremely easy for idiots to misuse it, either by trying to do math or by not supplying any cells in the optional second argument.

Not requiring the second argument was nuts, and it should probably have refused any query resulting in a number as well.

No need to look into that, yet. Despite what online discourse might lead you to believe, not every landlord is a slumlord. Just reach out with something like this:

Hi, I wanted to let you know that there is a strong odor coming from the washing machines, and it also transfers to the clothes. Could you please look into it?

Chances are they will deal with it. Only if they ignore or reject the request do you need to check if they’re required to do it.

That’s probably the only one I halfway understand. They’re complaining that the Adam’s apple isn’t prominent enough. But apparently men don’t have nipples?

I don’t even understand what half the circles are circling.

It’s probably an attempt to distract from the economy and the Iran war.

I just browse all communities, and block the ones I don’t want to see.

First tell the landlord about the state of the machines. Failing that, I’d consider just cleaning the washing machines. Would probably stay decent for a few months, so less effort than doing your own laundry.

If that doesn’t work, try to find a nearby laundromat with better maintenance.

Probably bundled a whole chromium like every other app.

I recently had to clear out my room in my childhood home and found all the schoolwork I ever produced until I left for college. I went through it, and ended up tossing everything except school photos as well as a couple of big written assignments I still remember doing.

So I guess my advice is to just stack-rank it and only keep a few particularly sentimental items.

Heated seat! Such a treat.

I can’t do Suse because I used SLES9 for work in 2005 or so, and it made me never want to see that little chameleon again.

I understand them (and even if I didn’t I could work it out from context), but it absolutely wrecks my reading speed, since I basically have to sound it out in my head instead of just reading the word. I hate SMS-style phonetic abbreviations for the same reason.

I’m surprised women put it off more than men. That’s a stereotypical male thing to do. Unless women are expected to have more appointments (e.g. gynecologist), so there’s more things to put off?

A friend of mine did it for medical reasons. His foreskin was too tight to pull back, which made it really hard to clean, and I think there were some other problems associated with it as well.

I’ve never heard about an adult getting circumcised as an adult for religious reasons, but I’m sure some people do it.

No, more boomers.

Crazy thought, maybe some other people stopped voting?

22% minus 8 percentage points is 14%.

22% minus 8% is 20.24%.

This is because 8% of 22% is 1.76%, but when using percentage points you just subtract the number.
