Flax_vert,

Didn’t the UK’s covid track and trace system break because it was running on excel

eran_morad,

I am guilty of this. I have a set of fucking ghastly macros that do monthly number crunching for me. Currently moving it all into SQLite and R.

When I was in high-school I made an inventory management/pos for my school’s merch shop in excel and vbs. It was the single worst thing I made and how I discovered what feature creep was. Got me a course credit though!

afraid_of_zombies,

Hey! I have you know the corporation I work for has an enterprise database system from 2002 with two whole maintainers.

Treczoks,

Tell you something: I would have even more money for any instance where people used Lotus Notes for things it was never designed for. I would bet that this is the one program with the least applications that are actually working along the original design features.

And then people claim that Notes is a shitty program, because it was used in a way it was never ever built for (and the manual telling one that this is not a good idea).

I still can’t get over the fact that it was only a few weeks ago when I learned that Walter White is the same actor who played dad in Malcolm in the Middle. still blows my mind. What a prolific actor to take on such vastly different roles.

I zoom in on Walter White and try so hard to see Hal Wilkerson in there but I just can’t.

westyvw,

There is a skit from Sat Night Live with Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul that is a spoof of their real lives as celebrities. Up to a point he is mild mannered, and then suddenly he gets very dark and serious. He is really good at portraying an aloof person and turning it on a dime. Point is in the that skit you certainly can see both.

talisxero,

You know… If that is true, it’s possible you may suffer from face blindness

My wife grew up with it her whole life and didn’t realize it was abnormal until she was about 30. Apparently it’s more common than you’d think, and if washer most people have no idea it even exists, even if they have it.

    Yeah man I hear you, you might just be retarded.

    Localhorst86,

    Having worked in 3 companies, Excel sure seems like the most popular database.

    OrteilGenou,

    Someone in my department suggested that project plans should be moved from Excel to MS Project.

    It was 50-50 relief vs panic

    gmtom,

    And asset management software and internal program GUI and collaborative coding software and even (in one case) version control.

    Adalast,

    My boss used it for marketing control and CRM at one point. I put a stop to that real quick.
