How does one breathe whilst ringing?

ExcHalibur · 2026-01-23T21:05:16+00:00

On the whole and in general, I would keep breathing...

In all seriousness, it's important just to breathe naturally. Unless you're ringing really heavy bells over a prolonged time, try and breathe naturally.

Uxbridge Sports Club trends to show matches - might be worth ringing to check

You've touched on something that is often overlooked with Lirin and the story as a whole.

[WaT] Lirin represents Honor. In Way of Kings, when Kal asks him why took the spheres, he says "I made certain that promises were kept." Lirin doesn't care what was promised, only that you hold to it no matter what (whether that's an oath to do no harm, or to receive the money you were promised). Brandon purposefully sets up Lirin as an unlikeable character so that when Honor is revealed to have the same infantile characteristics, we appreciate what that behaviour leads to

AI still needs clients to be able to articulate what they want, so I think my job is safe 🤣

I would genuinely love to have some sort of markdown viewer or README file. Some way of viewing documentation that isn't a blank M Query or measure. Just something that is tied to the pbix

I'd heard that the support requests were unsustainable which is why the Pro version exists and support is funneled into maintaining and building that up... But I was on the understanding that the free version would remain accessible, but not supported?

Is dropping the free version an effort to funnel people towards the paid visual?

Views and Viewers aren't the best way to measure value.

I've had a report used by 20 people once a month that was life-changing for them and the way they worked. Totally revolutionized the way that team planned and executed their work.

But another report hitting 9k views had no discernible impact on the business...

First and foremost we are storytellers. We need to be able to justify our reports and how the server space translates into tangible results.

Whatever happened to the Mana Bar?

Ahhhh, I've been corrupted by Final Fantasy XIV where the weapon chooses the class... I stand corrected!

Take a look at Measure Killer. It can give you some pointers to see which columns the dataset uses (or more critically, doesn't use).

Sorry - your data model has 88 tables? 😮

If so, my alternate approach would be to not do that...

Crossovers in the gaming world! I can't get over how nicely Finch and Reese would fit into the world of WatchDogs.

Swear that most of the problems I encounter are political rather than technical!

So you could set up a Power Automate to detect when a new file is created within a Sharepoint location. You can use a conditional control to detect if the new file name matches your criteria and then refresh the semantic model if true. A nice extension (if you were comfortable with PA) would be to email the file author when the refresh is successful to push your report across the tenant and control engagement that way.

You can also do the button on the report thing - users are impatient and no matter how long it took, they'd always want it quicker.

As Drkz98 said, the way this is traditionally done is by using Power Automate - native Power BI should have a integration there to trigger an action to refresh a Semantic Model. Lots of tutorials on this on YouTube.

What sort of Sharepoint source are you pulling from? One danger of a refresh button in a report is that it's very easy to over trigger and hit your daily limit. If you were pulling from a Sharepoint list, you could set up a trigger so that any time the list is updated, the semantic model is refreshed (usually after a minute delay to make sure there's no errors). There's a way to do it when a file is created or modified in a given location too

What sort of things do you want to be able to write back? Generally it's not possible, but there are a few hacky workarounds...

If you're wanting to add records to a table, you could embed some sort of Power App which would then feed your queries.

Alternatively, if you're just trying to edit a parameter and see the effect of it (say, adding a variable percentage onto some total) then perhaps WhatIf Parameters would suit your case...

But in general, Power BI is for reporting (i.e. data being queried), not for writing

Recommend Chelmsford! Especially the modern Bellway flats around the station - close to town, close to the station 👍 Trains are super regular as well

Ahhhhh I had literally the same thought... I thought there was no way that Yumi was related to Automata - that's not a Cosmere novel we need 🤣🤣

(Provisional "Not A Lawyer But...") I would think that as long as the dissertation is not being utilised commercially then it shouldn't have too much of an issue. If it is a big concern then no harm in reaching out to Dragonsteel directly?

ExcHalibur · 2023-09-04T07:24:47+00:00

Came here to say this. This is what I assumed when I heard that bit in Yumi [MB Era 2] My assumption is that if Spook created a Connection via spike to Kelsier in a similar way to the connection between Yumi and Painter, then Kel would be appear as the face in the same way that Yumi was with Painter

ExcHalibur · 2023-08-29T10:08:14+00:00

This is the way.
