I'm from Iowa and remarked to a friend how nice Wisconsin is, with rolling hills and trees. Iowa is absolutely filled with agriculture. I've thought about what it does to animals and plants. With vast cropland, how could a limited

A personal pet peeve of mine is misunderstandings of how taxes work. I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding, but I do want to clarify. They can certainly take a deduction for some money they wouldn't be able to collect succe

Unfortunately you'd be opening yourself up to lawsuits for any of your songs that have a passing resemblance to existing songs, since after all, you've created every chord progression and tempo! Maybe if you keep a low profile and

I agree. Just this morning I messed up and saved over a spreadsheet I didn't mean to...no way to get that 30 minutes of work back. Probably 90% of my day is jumping between spreadsheets and queries building tools and updating reports.

.xlsx ("normal files") and .xlsm (macro-enabled files) are a series of xml files and folders stored as a zip file with their own extension. .xlsb files are binary files, typically about 1/6 the size, and also have support of

It'd be interesting if Blender had an interaction recorder for tutorials, which could be turned on and off as desired. The user would make and record a tutorial entirely in blender, and an interaction text file would be saved. When a n

It still supports VBA. I've seen multiple manufacturing facilities which are absolutely reliant on VBA macros to be able to produce and ship their products.

PowerQuery is integrated into excel, gives a visual editing platform (not purely code), and is quite powerful in terms of linking up to any datasource, manipulating data, and giving you the output you need. All the steps are listed on the r

There was just some discussion about this on /r/RealEstate. Apparently a 60 hour class and a multiple choice exam are all that's between you and a real estate license. I had no idea the threshold was so low.

Matt Levine does a great job writing, and I highly recommend his newsletter. He talks extensively about the weird things that happen in the finance and hedge fund world, such as Windstream botching a bond and getting called out on it years

Unless there's a weird provision I'm not aware of, you could be over representing the value of the deduction. The best thing for the doctor is to get paid (and pay taxes on) $400. The $300 deduction is of no value to them because

I've used SMS Backup and Restore on Android. Exports to xml, and can include mms if desired. It's pretty good overall, though emojis can cause issues. They offer 2 settings on how to handle them.

Prevention to 100% would be costly. They have diminishing marginal returns. Why would someone pay $50,000/year for a hypothetical system which would theoretically catch everyone and fill out the police report automatically when the sto

The tricky thing with paying for grid defections would be holdouts. If a group of 8 neighbors take a payout to leave, but #9 doesn't, suddenly the utility lost most of its revenue but maintains most of the same infrastructure. And the

That's the bare minimum you'll have to fill out. If you have investment accounts, you tack on more forms. If you have an inheritance, there's more paperwork. If you withdraw from your retirement accounts, you could have more.

Admittedly not great, but you can complete that join, output it as a table, and then apply formulas as desired if you use Power Query. Power Query solves many cases where a macro was previously required, but relatively few people are aware
