  • Current version of Excel stripped out a macro I made to make a specific task easier. It didn’t just block it from running. It refused to let me even see it anymore.

    LibreOffice allowed me to see it again so I could re-implement it temporarily. I love how often Microsoft’s own tools can’t do what FOSS can with Microsoft files.











  • The quality of research done by people who advocate for “do your own research” is only as good as their education.

    I have a friend who is my age, graduated college with me and likes to do his own research. I love the guy, but his ability to parse complex information is simply bad. He thinks that his own research on medical issues is superior to that of all doctors simply because he interprets what he reads in whatever way he wants it to mean. He never even tries to debunk anything.

    I love the guy, and I’ve known him more than half my life now, but I have to simply humor him on medical advice.
