I have a process that use python to read some excel files from the commercial team and then the result feed a dashboard. Every week the assistant of the director write me saying that the dashboard didn’t update correctly, I look what happens and everytime it was the commercial people messing with the excel where it was already told hundred of times they should not mess with anything except their corresponding cells. Next week I’m learning how to block the file except the cells they should edit.
I used to teach Excel at an adult vocational college. When I moved into the corporate world, I quickly learned why the University of Hawaii’s research found that well over half of spreadsheets have critical errors. Even the people treated as Excel experts were often clueless.
I’m not saying that spreadsheets should be banned from the workplace, but they definitely need to be very tightly controlled.
Oh, and always, always lock formula cells, even in sheets that never leave your control. :) If possible, make use of Excel’s native data forms, too.
They showed the interior of the earth with other megafauna, but how exactly Godzilla or Kong are getting their caloric intake satisfied on a regular basis is somewhat of a question regardless.
Godzilla especially… feeds on radiation? But not just like, consuming uranium ore. He can take a full thermonuclear blast to the face and seemingly heals bodily injury. Maybe makes him feel really full too?
It’s handwaved at best, which is fine. Trying to figure out how Kaiju work is like trying to explain The Force with physics. It’s just magic, don’t worry about it.
Pacific Rim says they’re grown in a lab on a planet that may have different laws of physics than Earth’s. They’re not naturally occuring, they’re engineered shock troopers.
There are some real life fungi that are radiotrophic (like photosynthesis but with radiation [ok light is also a kind of radiation but you know what I mean]) So at least part of that makes sense but not the adsorbing a nuclear blast bit.
This was a discovery funded by the National Science Foundation, for whom work, I have the original hand drawn picture hanging in my office. Credit to Zina Deretsky
I learned in university that the first fish with 4 legs were fully aquatic. They developed them to walk on the ground of the ocean and later used them on land. That would make it a pre-adaptation. So the drawing has the evolutionary steps wrong. Would you agree on it? I’m just curious
I think that’s what I meant. The legs weren’t as developed as I remembered them but neither were they an adaptation after going on land. So the image is right after all, I just underestimated the limbs in the picture and overestimated the limbs of the transitional creature I learned almost a decade ago (so still after 2008). Thanks!
I’ve had it a few times. it’s… not something I’d go out of my way to eat. unless grandma was cooking it.
…you don’t want to know how much lard was used in that recipe. Which is why hers is so… amazing. funny how that works. fwiw, most of the lard was actually for the pan…but still it’d probably be enough to give your doctor a heart attack.
It wasn’t NASA tho - it was the International Astronomical Union (IAU):
NASA’s New Horizons mission made a close pass of Pluto this week. For more than 70 years, Pluto was one of nine planets recognised in our Solar System.
But in 2006, it was relegated to the status of dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). So why was Pluto demoted?
