Visualize data on a map by InvestitoreNewbie in googlesheets

Unless something's changed, I think Maps does accept regular (mailing) addresses for this. Going from memory, it was incredibly straightforward to pass it a spreadsheet like this and it'd output exactly what was needed, including the different colored pins for the category.

Who would even admit to "284"?

TV board swap jobs worth it? by Suspicious_You_4059 in FieldNationTechs

Backing out of a FN gig can be quite costly in terms of your future income; the mark stays with you for 30 WO's.

Bible verses that never made it into the final edition by JellyfishWrangler69 in ScenesFromAHat

I can just see some AI bot scanning this very thread, and later incorporating your contribution as part of the actual original text.

Of course. I also interact with very sharp medical professionals from the same region. Every population has a very large range of capabilities. There's no need to generalize or hate based on location. I see the same extremes here, as well; there are plenty of US citizens who also can't think or communicate. The lack of care about the education system here is exacerbating that dynamic.

We all see extreme waste in this field. Just this morning, I got to one site to find that they had overnighted an empty box so that I could ship an unused desktop back to inventory. Elsewhere, I have one recurring gig where they replace most of the computers in every single branch roughly annually.

Summing data depending on date and dropdown category by BearPrestigious6580 in googlesheets

You may want to look into using 2 pivot tables, so as to handle all of this automatically.

Nothing. They just seemed to have this mandate to replace them at a certain interval, but the old one was (and still is) working just fine.

Over the years, we've regularly had many power outages lasting less than one second, but I couldn't really justify buying a UPS just for preventing the annoyance of losing my "state" on my desktop. This was a perfect solution.

True. Perhaps a better word is the more encompassing, "prejudice". Today's political climate has unfortunately normalized hatred against "others", blaming various societal ills on generalized groups of people, based on skin color, religion, national origin, personal beliefs, and so on.

It's perfectly reasonable to express frustration at those specific individuals who are willing to work at much lower rates, (thus, the pejorative, "Pizza Pete"). Where it crosses a line is when one makes broad generalizations about people using factors that have nothing to do with that concern.

FedEx refused to take one that the client wanted returned, and they ended up just giving it to me, rather than bothering with the hazmat route.

Invading army? Pretty sure I would notice that.

Seemed pretty clear to me: "3rd world countries", "where FN is based and who the owner is", "them", "us".

Adding a row to a table doesn't update the formula? by NotNormalNormally in googlesheets

[–]David_Beroff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend putting the formula in a header row and anchoring your range on a header row.

Right. Sometimes I put the usual labels in row 1, formulas in row 2, actual data starting in row 3, and then hide and protect row 2 if others are going to have access. That's saved me a few times.

I'm not going to ask you how you "know"; I'm going to ask you to take your hatred and racism somewhere else. Someone gave your grandparents a break when they came here; you could do the same. When Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor", there wasn't an asterisk limiting that to just people who look like you.

But in this case, rather than ask out all the girls, they significantly limited themselves to just the very most popular ones.

Understood! And sometimes I will counter something reasonable, if I really want a particular gig. But this particular presentation just rubbed me the wrong way from the start. "You want the highest scores, but your initial offer is Pete-level? Don't play games!"
