I feel like plain text accounting software is overkill for splitting vacation expenses. The Splitwise phone app is very good for this, and shares some of the responsibility.

Oh wow! Thanks for that. I use flight aware and twas not award of that particular page.


this animations were all the rage in Chinese wechat while this was going on


Agreed! Hard cell references should rarely be used. Names for metadata variables (eg. Current_Month) and tables for datasets.


Yes. But many parts of excel don't support those. E.g. conditional formatting just doesn't deal with names.

Also, when you need names, it is a sign to reach for a proper programming enviroment like Delphi or Lazarus.


Very cool. Looks like it could use some more controls to reduce bad data. For example the Dove year 9999 data point.

I would love to see a list of Parent companies. Single brands will be hard to remember.


It was good, thanks! https://youtu.be/llGvsgN17CQ


Sorry for the pain you went through. I suffered subtle trauma as a kid. Some examples were verbal anger from father, lack of a model of a secure relationship since parents hated each other in private, no empathy, and rare sympathy, between all family members. We basically didn't care about each other but put on a facade of a happy family with others. Recently I came across Attachment Theory which describes types of insecure relationships compared to secure ones. Combined with some professional therapy, it has been enlightening and relieving understanding my issues. A long journey ahead. Reading about Attachment Theory is my recommendation for anyone feeling similarly.


Your life sounds similar to mine, and with few words, I think you've described emotional neglect.

I've found myself to be quite avoidant. I found attachment theory before I heard of neglect, and I found it to explain my relationships pretty well. I actually think I found running on empty while looking into attachment theory. I feel like it adequately explained how I came to be so avoidant. Based on your words, I am pretty confident that at least one of her stories of neglect will hit hard.


Probably, yes. Is it more efficient for the single poster to write out a few extra words, or for the hundreds of readers to go to Google or AI to help them interpret the letters? I work in accounting, an industry that throws out work-life balance into daily conversations, and i still didn't recognize it.


Most people in that situation would be carrying a backpacking stove and pot. I have known plenty to melt snow in dry areas.


Thanks so much. This site has helped me find new games, and it has saved me lots of money with the price history feature.


Prompt "write a powershell script to copy a file from one folder to another. Rename the file to 'newfile' and append the date it was copied to the end of the file name" Just an example of 'grunt-level' code that chatgpt can easily handle
