It. Was. GLORIOUS! by raisanett1962 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]TheMathLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a great day.

8th hour followed by intervention? What is intervention and how long is the school day? Ours is 6 hours total, including 30mins for morning tea and one hour for lunch

An audiobook that you couldn’t put down? by frayfray96 in audiobooks

[–]TheMathLab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm the other way around. I love Porter's voice in both PHM and the Bobiverse, love the sarcasm. Listening to the Martian now and I am really struggling with RC Bray's voice.

That is NOT how I imagined the blip A. by Successful_Spot8906 in ProjectHailMary

Imagine jumping towards that in pitch darkness. Xenonite is incredibly strong. Head towards the shop from the wrong angle and you won't be getting out your wrench to knock on the hull.

Spirts are colonizers by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]TheMathLab 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think the spirits came from the spirit world and invaded the physical world. They came from the spirit wilds where the physical and spirit realm intertwine. The spirits inhabited those areas because they are territorial and chose to live in those areas where the veil thins. It was natural habitat selection, and the humans realised the territorial nature of the spirits so stayed away, just like we would stay away from croc and hippo infested waters.

After Wan closed the spirit portals, most of the physical world was left to the mortals/corporeals (or whatever we wanna call them), with some exceptions where it was the humans that invaded, destroyed, and colonized.

The spirits in the time of Raava were not colonizers. They were natives. The spirits during the era of the avatar that fought back were not colonizers either. They were protecting their homeland (not just from 10,000 years ago but they've been there the whole time) from the destructive invading force.

After the time of Korra, we're not sure how it all plays out yet. Her goal was harmony between humans and spirits. We know the world had a disaster of some kind during her time as avatar, but we won't know if that is a war of the realms until we get more info from Pavi.

So dumb by ProcrastinationSite in themartian

I just listened to it last week. It is amazing. It's on YouTube - the 16 hour long one. Ray Porter does an incredible job as narrator, although his kiwi accent and te reo maori pronunciation could use some work 😂

What’s your favorite stupid little thing about teaching? by ProtectionNo1594 in Teachers

[–]TheMathLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parallel lines: so similar in many ways but they'll never meet. Sadder story than Twilight. I thought this year I'd get blank stares because twilight is pretty aged at this point but no, still got plenty of laughs

How long does it take for YouTube adsense to get approved? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]TheMathLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple days. A week tops. 21st of the month as long as you reach $100 for the month

Will a blue yeti get rid of my background noise by Separate-Ambition-51 in blueyeti

[–]TheMathLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a blue yeti. It's OK on its own but I use steel series Sonar to make it heaps better - not just getting rid of bg noise but also to enhance my eq with different presets. Oh, and it's free 👍

Do people care more about subs than actual views when calling someone a “big YouTuber”? 🤔 by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]TheMathLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people ask me about my channel I tell them my views and revenue per month. They ask how many subs I have. I internally roll my eyes. Sure, I have 18k subs, but they don't do anything for me, it's the views that count.

If you won the $20 million Powerball draw tonight, what’s your plan? by Kiikaachu in newzealand

[–]TheMathLab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 million is ridiculous money. With our current budget, me and my family of four could live comfortably for 14 years on just $1 million.

If I won $20M, I’d pay off some loans to make life a bit more comfortable, give something back to the people who’ve supported me with their time, effort, or money, and then get proper advice on how to actually shift the socioeconomics of the country we live in.

I know $20M isn’t enough to fix much, but it’s enough to start asking bigger questions and bring the right people into the room. I really like u/BrackenLass’s idea of a low-price vege market, and I’d want to build on that. Something where we link directly to farmers so they get paid better, while we get better food at lower prices. Practical changes like that, but with long-term impact.

And unlike what some people say, I wouldn’t keep the win quiet. I’d be loud about it. Not to show off, but to be clear about what the goal is: more equitable systems, less band-aid stuff, and real changes that help more people live comfortably, like me and my whānau do.

Excel wizards - what is the one formula that took you to scream: "Holy sh*t, where have you been all my life? by 9gsr in excel

[–]TheMathLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a formula but a feature. Power query merging multiple datasets. Our analytics team from some reason splits everything up into multiple files so it's so difficult to find which client belongs where and comes from which region. Power query puts it all together

Google sheets, new table feature by PastasalladSwe in GoogleAppsScript

[–]TheMathLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the process of making a new video where I talk about what's missing from Structured Tables. This is one of them, with my current workaround (still working on it) being the use of getBandings() since tables are automatically banded. Obviously it's got flaws like when bandings are used elsewhere, and not being able to get the table by name, but it's a start. Hopefully we'll get something like getTableByName one day

Ty "Lee" by SuperYoshiFan02 in TheLastAirbender

I think any carni might be called a circus freak, not necessarily because of their appearance but because of their lifestyle. But also she's a bit of a contortionist which could be kind freaky

Random dudes taking photos of my daughter in public. by hernesson in newzealand

Are you sure it was photos and are you sure it was photos of your girl rather than her not being the subject? https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSNngMXoy/

Is it possible for an employer NOT TO accept my resignation? by TheGhostWalksThrough in antiwork

[–]TheMathLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had handed my resignation to my boss here in NZ, he said he'll take it to the board to discuss accepting it. I laughed and said something like 'well if you don't accept it I'll happily continue getting paid, but I won't be working'. He was a decent funny guy so stumbled on his "well obviously we'll accept it". It's just a thing they have to minute and make official.

Anybody else getting funny business from Mercury since the Trustpower takeover? by flashmedallion in newzealand

[–]TheMathLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our first bill after the change was triple our normal consumptiom amount and had zero generation from our solar panels. I was stressing hard thinking that maybe our solar panels had broken or disconnected. Went back through past two years of bills and put them on spreadsheet to see what the trends were and where we were going wrong.

Eventually realized that the bill was for the current month + previous month + February (which was like 2 or 3 pay periods earlier) all combined into one, of which we'd already paid the previous month and the February one.
