True, but Göteborg has its own areas to avoid. Hjällbo comes to mind…

This looks familiar. Is this somewhere in Whistler by any chance?

UAE is cheating since they outsourced it to the Netherlands to do their sea reclaiming for them.

Morrowind memes in the wild. What a time to be alive!

We did try have a moose riding mounted unit at some point if memory serves.

I need to re-read the lyrics to that song, it’s one of my favorites by APC.

Thanks. I did not know that, but after reading into it 10000 days now feels a lot more personal.

Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category “Musicians’ moms killed by Christian science”. Who else were you referring to?

I actually ran this setup for a pretty long while without major issues. YMMV but OneDrive is not a terrible way to store a single user database backend if you don’t have a lot of sequential writes going into it in a short timespan.

Yes, but at the time Excel didn’t support concurrency either ;-)

Anyway, you are correct about the issue with concurrent writes, but that’s only because Access was intended as a single user DB. If you wanted a multi-user DB you should be getting MS SQL server.

Not saying this product strategy worked (it clearly didn’t, otherwise people would not be using Excel), but that’s how they envisioned it to work.

Storing data is only one of the parts to the formula of what makes a database. Proper databases require structured storage of the data and some way to query the data constructively. Excel did not have those features until Microsoft gave up trying to convince people to not use it as a DB and added it to Excel.

Well, to be fair to Access, it’s not like Excel is such a great multi-user database either, now is it? ;-)

Microsoft spent years and years trying to get people to not use Excel as a database, until they eventually had to give up hope that anyone who doesn’t know the difference would voluntarily use Access, so they started adding database-like functionality to Excel to meet their customer’s demands and try to make the experience at least a little bit less painful.

This is a real-life case of “meet the user where they are” despite the designer’s wishes, because even within Microsoft, there is strong agreement on not using Excel as a DB.

That was the most infuriating thing about this whole post to me. Elon’s braindead take is on brand and expected at this point, but that chart (or worse, the reaserch behind it) is the true crime here.

Undoubtedly. But they will stir a whole lot of shit while they’re going down. If you think mass shooting are bad now, imagine if every single MAGAt becomes convinced they’re going to be persecuted to “David Koresh”-levels and decides to kill a bunch of people on their way out… I shudder to think the level of societal chaos this could cause.

It’s been that way for a while now.

When online patching became a thing most games studios quickly figured out they could push the game to press in whatever state, then work on fixing the bugs in between code complete and GA, and simply push those fixes as a launch day patch.

And commercially, it makes sense. The greatest the game is on the shelves, the earlier the investors see ROI. It’s just a shame if this calculated gamble backfires and the degree find way too many bugs to fix in the window between code complete and release. That’s when you get Cyberpunk 2077…

This annoys me too, but I find that lots of shops turn off the headlight’s automatic mode when brought in for service. This leaves hapless drivers unaware of the fact that they are driving around with just their DRLs on until they either get a ticket, complain about it to the dealer, or figure it out on their own.

I know you’re being funny, but to answer the question I posited: every summer, after people came back from towing their caravans up through the mountains, my dad’s shop would be replacing loads of clutches with people complaining about the weird smells their car started making. Or the sudden trouble they had shifting.

On a steep hill, your clutch will thank you for using the handbrake. Especially in stop and go traffic towing a trailer. Ask me how I know.

Exactly. All the memes and stickers about letting the CEL stay on are funny, but if you don’t know what code is triggering the light, you are gambling with your car, or even your safety. Seriously people, get a CEL checked out, and then decide if you feel it’s worth fixing. Most auto parts stores, dealers, etc. will happily do it for you, often at no cost, but at least be an informed consumer instead of just hoping it will be okay.
