This is whataboutism and not only is it not persuasive it’s also off putting.

I have no problem with such claims. It comes down to who says they have the sources and how often they have been right in the past. When Rudy Giuliani says “I have evidence but I can’t show it to you” you can be certain he is lying. When

It’s both. The subsidies help the solar power market develop. Supply lines of panels, installation, etc. as these grow and mature prices come down. We subsidize fossil fuel production as well with similar results.

I don’t know but there has been a lot of manufacturing construction after the pandemic. Manufacturing construction has doubled since 2021 to the highest levels since 2005. Presumably these projects consume power for both construction and

Maybe because it relates to children? This is a website that accepts input from the public. I rephrased the question as: > Should driving licenses be available regardless of age? > A: Yes, anyone who can pass the test can drive. >

Agree there should be consequences for this kind of mistake. If there’s no evidence of wrongdoing then there’s no reason to hold him. It’s worth noting the government didn’t figure it out. His family did. Without that he’d still be det

Huh, I have never found searching for information and typing code particularly fun. The part I enjoy is seeing something work.

I wondered about that but then in context wasn’t sure of the relevance. I’m aware that even fresh eggs are somewhat porous and wouldn’t expect the contents to last beyond a week before beginning to break down.

You still haven’t explained how you made this leap from elders to parents. That’s not the same thing. Social security benefits are based on how much you pay in, not how many children you have.

by mulmen 2y ago
I understand exactly how social security works. You’re conflating “youth” with “offspring” and “elders” with “parents”.

As an American please be careful blaming all of us for this. Less than 1 in 4 Americans voted for Trump. It doesn’t mean you need to buy an F-150 but please separate the concept of the American people from the GOP voter base. The complex

I don’t get this take. We already negotiated trade agreements. That’s what got ripped up with all this tariff nonsense. Why would anyone expect the US to respect the next negotiation? The damage here was reputational. That can only b

Humans are notoriously bad at risk based decision making. This applies equally to being cautious or daring.

I just tested it. The setting applies on data entry but opening a CSV or similar delimited file counts as “data entry”. So if you work strictly with xlsx files you are fine but it will irreversibly convert the values on open for delimited

Well, no, it isn't because Excel actually changes the underlying data too. It's more like changing the formatting of all the files in the project and deleting all the characters after the 80th column.

by mulmen 2y ago
Not sure about an Excel workbook file like xlsx but for something like a CSV there is no way to attach that preference to the file so Excel will continue to mangle data as it always has unless everyone who touches it updates their settings.

Even worse is converting all numeric-looking strings to numbers, even if it requires truncation. If you use long strings of digits as identifiers, such as in billing systems, the actual transaction identifier will be mangled by Excel.
