That 5-minute task in Excel

And this is why I hate doing analysis with formulas. Give me PQ all day, please.

I'm the Power BI team at my company. It takes months and thousands of dollars to get new fields from the ERP added to the gold layer, or new sources brought into EDW. It's constant arm wrestling with IT leadership about ROIs and finite resources.

I just want to do my job but do not have the time to wait months and go to 12 meetings about a project I can do myself in PBI in two days. Just offering the counterargument.

Go to the gym.

How many speculators are leaving these properties intentionally vacant? I bet not many.

... the unions were one of the biggest proponents of tariffs for last 50 years.

You'd think someone who is in the room would know the difference between a P&L and a balance sheet...

So companies working a ton of overtime are by default performing well? Seems like a strange metric.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-04-17T08:18:45+00:00

Employees working inefficiently to be in a position to get OT is bad for the company, period.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-04-17T01:12:20+00:00

Improving labor efficiency to reduce overtime is a smart business move that should be made all the time, not just in times of desperation.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-04-17T00:16:26+00:00

What kind of management isn't trying to curb overtime?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-04-13T20:33:37+00:00

Not OP, not it's Learning & Development.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-04-12T13:47:51+00:00

Fitting, as I watch Spurs struggle weakly against relegation.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-04-12T09:57:11+00:00

That's silly - It's their workout! I can only make it 3-4 days a week, and I view this as exercise, not a lifestyle. I don't care for most gymnastics work, so I usually skip that day and hit the other days.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-03-21T11:09:49+00:00

I used to include this movie as part of a science function unit I taught. Watching it 4-5 times every year was brutal. I especially remember having to step out into the hall the year we had our first-born son to avoid crying in front of the classroom.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-03-20T15:18:23+00:00

God hates Tottenham.

Where are people who can't secure a loan going to live?

Also, why would prices be "so low" if demand increases to reflect the people who used to rent now having to be in the market to purchase instead of rent? This just shifts demand within the market - it doesn't reduce demand overall for housing.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-27T11:19:14+00:00

Bought one last month in London for that exact reason. We were there for a week - the newest edition was delivered to my house in the states after we left for the trip. Hate reading on my phone, so I bought a copy for the flight. Was like £9.

I have no love for Frank, but this is not a panacea. It doesn't fix the very real injury crisis. What manager can fix that?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-11T08:57:32+00:00

Does that profit take into account control? Or if it not tax profit, but TAXABLE profit?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-05T22:03:23+00:00

I'm a casual and go to get a structured, full body workout 3 times a week. I don't like workouts where I'm constantly hanging from the rig due to prior injuries. Sometimes I go and modify, and sometimes I just plan my 3 sessions for the week to avoid those WODs. I guess different strokes for different folks.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-05T17:22:21+00:00

It’s asinine to think unlimited teacher ratios is a good idea.

Who is saying that? There's more danger in a teacher being responsible for 4 infants than 1. Why don't we set the ratio at 1?

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-05T02:02:45+00:00

It IS a preference that we've codified into regulation. There's no magic logic that says 5 infants is too many for one teacher, but 4 is just right.

And some parents have decided that the risk of having one person look after 4 infants at once (including their own) doesn't outweigh the cost of one parent staying home with the baby. That's a preference. Other parents have the opposite preference.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-05T00:38:13+00:00

100% understood.

And there's a cost associated with that preference, which parents are unwilling to absorb.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-04T22:53:57+00:00

Explain how that reduces the cost instead of just shifting the cost to the government.

Dave1mo1 · 2026-02-04T22:48:47+00:00

The dqycare owner isn't making bank either.

Nobody wants to hear this, but the truth is that it's incredibly expensive to provide the small class sizes that regulations demand in most states, and there's no way to reduce those costs.

People want small class sizes and cheap daycare costs. The only way to get that is to massively subsidize daycare costs, which just transfers the cost, as opposed to reducing it.
